What are you plannign on towing? We have a XJ that easily tows a 2.5T trailer rig and trailer through the hills and on the flat. THey are rated to 3T but I reckon thats a stretch. The standard 4.0L does the job fine. why you'd want to put a 2H into an XJ is beyond me.

Hey Guys, Bloody great weekend of wheeling. The organisers put on easily the best event in the last few years down here in VIC. The combination of Mud Racing and Winch Challenge events being run at the same time worked really well. There was no downtime in abotu 4 hours of racing, always something ...

Hey mate, hope you got my voicemail. Try Super F spares, they may have stock on the shelf.

Normally steelies are a nut centric wheel, they are designed for load bearing off the nuts and don't need a hubcentric fit to carry the loads they are designed for. Really I wouldn't stress to much about it. I run Falcon steelies on my race jeep with weldon beadlocks and they are fine, we did bend ...

Art Carr/Winters Shifter looks the goods and is used in offroad applications widely. Best thing about them is that you can smash reverse quick if you need to. unlike a b&m rachet style shifter you'll be smashing back through the gears while you're going head over heels trying to find reverse. Can ...

what are the plans for the rig struth?

I run a 20 Valve 4age Toyota injected 1.6 in mine. lot of work to get it right, even alot of work to do a marginal install with compromises. goes really well though!

Hey pcman,

I know an engineer that specialises in DC Motor repairs. That should be an easy and pretty cheap fix i'm guessing. Maybe you could try using silver solder first? that should take a bit more heat.

otherwise PM me and I will pass on his details.

I can recommend EFS Elite shocks. We use these in our XJ Comp Car. They handle most things very well. I can't quite match that price you've linked on ebay, but if you are interested shoot me a PM with your location and I will send you back a quote.

Hey Hulsty, Mate I think what you need to do is undo the tie rods and remove both the drum support plate and motor in one piece from the winch. On the inside of the drum support plate are some allen head bolts which will allow you to remove the drum support from the motor. This is the process for ...

looks like maybe too high pressures run on dirt roads/tracks.

I've got a spare BFG Mud terrain from an ORR Buggy and the lugs look exactly like yours.

dont go and put a 'dumb diesel chip' on a diesel. Not just Roo but any plug in system I would class as dumb. ...blah blah blah Everyone is entitled to their own opinion :D i think a successful 20 year history of this type of tuning method is not bad for a "dumb" module. You don't think that unichip ...

I've spoken with a few of my customers about DPF's mainly in auto D40 navaras. A few aftermarket exhuast systems replace the DPF with a new dump pipe. As far as I know they don't get a check engine light because the two sensors will never sense any major differentiation so the vehicle ecu will never ...

I'd probably find a heavier wall thickness pipe/tube to use. Normally it's considered stronger than solid bar.

Hey Zoltan, We just dynoed a V8 2010 D4-D Cab Chassis. Here's a dyno sheet. Totally stock vehicle on 265/75R16 tyres. 81kw stock run to 107.2kw with the module. We'll be installing an exhaust soon and will dyno again...26kw improvement and big boost in torque, although on this sheet its measured in ...

they're a 34x9.5 Narrow SS swamper on stock steel XJ maybe TJ Rims not sure. Being narrow they still give good lock to lock. We had to adjust steering stops a touch to stop the tyre rubbing on the control arm. W're gonna run this setup for a while and see how it goes. it'll have a warn full floater ...

Hey Zoltan, The international website is http://www.diesel-power.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. have a look there but it's fairly basic in Info. Our modules do a similar job to the competition but our software is updated as each model is released, By the time you have your rig ...

If you want a plug in Module Zoltan I'll sort you out without having to sell a Kidney for a DP Chip. Shoot me a PM if keen. the V8 D4-D with module installed gets around 35Kw and 117Nm torque increase with stock exhaust on the standard setting. You can wind it up no problems and then chuck an ...

haha, good luck doing a bodylift on an XJ. We've managed to get 34s under the XJ with some 50mm spacers, extended shackles and a fair bit of guard cutting and steering stop adjustment. We could get bigger under there but then have to modify the gearing. 34's are borderline on stock gearing in the ...

G'day Nayto,

Issues with firestone have been the bags leaking near the crimp mount. Manufacturing?? Have had a couple start leaking. Have been replaced under warranty and no further issues but still not ideal.

Boss and Firestone both use push to fit air line fittings. pm sent

I'm an agent for Firestone and Boss. I sell crap loads more Boss gear than Firestone, mainly due to cost. I've had more warranty issues with Firestone gear than Boss gear funnily enough. PolyAir have plastic air line fittings which tend to snap off, whereas Boss and Firestone use metal fittings ...

is the diff housing straight? just a passing thought...might be causing some strain on the axle/cv?

Yep we had the same issue and it ended up being a faulty ignition coil lead to the distributor. Even if it looks ok it may be stuffed inside. We ended up changing everything, leads, dizzy, rotor and all is fine.

I quizzed RDA on this just the other day, Gold passivation slightly improves corrosion resistance and aesthetic qualities but does nothing to improve braking. Slotted rotors and an upgraded pad will help as will a master cylinder upgrade to a bigger bore.

Hey Madaz, There is only one brand of 4.88 gears available in Aus at the moment and they are made in italy. My supplier currently has stock and I can get these to you for a reasonable price. If you are interested, pm me with your location so I can work out the shipping and I will get back to you. As ...

i don't know much about importing motors but for what its worth I've driven a heap if 1HD-FTE vehicles in auto and manual and they are a bloody awesome motor, it's no wonder they are hard to come by. Like others have said, the first time I drove a 1VD i wasn't really impressed, it drove nice ...

In suzukis this circuit is really bad from factory. It is almost a mandatory upgrade if you want a strong kick on your starter. It's a weel documented issue. Just search clicky starter fix and it'll come up with some options. I did it on my zook and it was amazing how much more power the starter ...

thanks guys i thought that 30 micron might have been a bit course but these vehicles have 1/2inch fuel lines so i don't know if a 10 micron filter will cause too much restriction to the flow?

Had some customers recently asking for these filter kits. My current supplier sold out almost straight away and I can't find anyone else in the country that sells them let alone the actual manufacturer. Does anyone know this kit? It is an aftermarket retro fit filter kit that is fitted before the ...
