Land Rover Owners of America (LROA)

The LROA is a defunct club that existed from around 1984 through 1998. The club left its history behind in the form of newsletters.  Like all club newletters they are packed with technical articles and tips.  Thanks to the efforts of a few, old news letters have emerged from ex member's file cabinets and have been scanned into pdf form  so that a new generation can read them.   I joined the club in the fall or 1985 and was member # 238

The low range gearing stays the same and high range fourth gear becomes a permanent 27.5% overdrive.  Ashcroft high 4th gear and 4.7:1 diffs overall ratio is very close to stock trasfercase and 3.54 diff overall ratio.  The Green Rover uses one behind the V8 in her series transfercase. It does a very good job of handling the V8's power.  High range is very close to having a 3.54 R&P without affecting low range.
