P700 New aftermarket limited slip rear differential

I like the price point and reliability for my uses, at the end of the day they are to each of us what we need them to be

I have a free to me 1996 2wd 1.5 seater mule with locking diff that sees more use than our Pioneer. Great for zipping back and forth to the buildings and even though the shocks are blown, it makes a hell of a spray rig too! The Pioneer was supposed to do all of that and handle trips to Canada but since the mule and covid showed up......the Pioneer sits. Not to mention the cam issue at 700 miles supposedly due to cough cough, farm use and too many starts and stops.

Cam problems I have seen in 700's were due to not changing the oil.

Lol!!!!!

We had a member working on a locking/unlocking hub for the 500 a couple years ago. I posted a video link on the first page of this thread. He succeeded but never made it available due to it being dangerous to drive. With the 500's short wheelbase he said that it would jerk the machine violently side to side whether you were accelerating or decelerating. I know the 700 is a little bigger machine but something to be aware of.

I am building a new billet differential with limited slip posi rear end on a CNC for my honda pioneer 700-4. A drop in, bolt in replacement. Just wondering if there would be any interest In anyone buying this unit in the aftermarket? Also what would people be willing to pay for something like this? This unit would obviously be high quality and very durable. I wouldn't sell until It had serious durability test done.

Any update on this?

Let me just say I doubt this will go anywhere, I also don't think it is needed but that is just my personal opinion.

There are some 700 owners using the 700 only on farms or roads. No trail riding where a locked diff is most likely needed.

I use mine on our little farm and across the yard.
Understanding it is an off road vehicle I take the reliability happily and don't worry about the grass.
The price point and size are why we bought it and I wouldn't trade it for any other.

Looks exciting to me. Also it looks like it might get rid of some of the differential whine associated with the "straight" pinion and ring
gears.

Even if the op had the needed gear cutting machinery to make the helical diff gears, it would have to use the oem ring&pinion gears as the engineering involved to redisign them to fit the existing case would be absolutely insane. Not to mention the existing case is just too small to package such a diff thats is of sufficient strength.
Factoid: The torsen style lsd was invented by Vernon Gleasman out of Cleveland Ohio in 1958. First marketed as The Dual Drive Differential.
Very intense math and precise geometric tolerances are required for such a device.
The style of locking diff that Honda uses in the P1000 is quite a novel work of art also.

Might wanna try and PM the OP. He hasn't been on here in three years. he might get a email and respond to you that that way.

I'd say it's time for a trade up upgrade to a P1 if that's what you're looking for

Thanks for the update!!

So all this talk about lockers when what 700 owners really need is a bolt-in 2 speed pumpkins (Front and rear). I'm sure there's a Willys design or similar ready to adapt.

Hello Bob! I think I ask you a while back, but have you had a chance to test those tunes from FCP any?

Looks like this weekend is finally going to be decent weather and hoping to try them out.

Fitting all this into a small package and still being strong is definitely something that has been a challenge. We are not 100 % there without including a shorter axle yet. But we are looking at one option where we could reuse stock axles.

Since my P700 has a manual lock (shift on dash) for the front differential, wouldn't the same differential work in the rear?

 

[osobad]

Case a little different. Would need way mount speed sensor and make a shorter axle for that side
