Yup!
Free hubs on all 4 wheels. That way the front diff never turns when I don't need it... + Easy to set-up for towing; just unlock everything...
Last year my gearbox jammed while goin up a looooong sandy climb. All we had to do was pull the truck up a little to release pressure, unlock the hubs so we could work and investigate on flat ground.
But the most important feature is I can drive the truck as a front wheel drive if I want to. (just kiddin...)1964 Series IIa 88 Petrol 2.25 RHDComment

If there is an increase in fuel economy with the front hubs unlocked, then you must get at least 30 miles per gallon with all 4 hubs unlocked!--Mark

Here are some pics of the 109. And yes that is duct tape holding the front hub together. It started to come apart a bit on Hwy 95. The Soft top photo was taken using an IPHONE app to make it look vintage.1971 Ex Mod IIA 109

Windows
The windows came on the top and I believe were from a defender. They are tinted plexi glass which slide to open and the windows are fitted with screens for summer time use. I have been extremely happy with the hard top.1971 Ex Mod IIA 109

Using the stock front (it was a 6 pot before the V-8 conversion, with huge lining and dual wheel cylinders) and a Salisbury rear (Dana 60). OK, here's the changes made: Procomp shocks and parabolics, Dual master cylinder, High performance FSR (Nova) aluminum radiator, Stainless steel rad. hoses (flex pipes actually), Carter electric fuel pump, Pertronics conversion for the Lucas Dizzy, JWR (Offy) intake with Edelbrock 4bbl, and Dual exhaust. Mileage isn't much to brag about, but it will go alot faster than is practical (thanks to the Super winch overdrive), and drag along anything hooked to it.Comment

re: the axle...
You axles were designed with part time 4 wheel drive in mind. That gear box puts full time 4 wheel drive on the axles. The Stage One (and later Defednders) has different axles with a more CV Joint like linkage to allow for the constant drive under power. I would be curious to see how the traditional axles hold up.Firemanshort

Dietersrover,
I was using instagram. It makes the rover look a bit old school which I like.1971 Ex Mod IIA 109
