Spending 1200-1500 to gain a saving 1-2mpg ??
It will take a while to recoup that.
Sorry I stand solidly behind my opinion that they are simply not worth the money.

GUtripper's assessment on the TJ isn't too bad. But if I might add a bit more info. IMHO THE TJ D30 is a better unit than the JK D30. They are an underestimated diff with LOADS of upgrades available, they also offer great ground clearance. but if going bigger than 35"s with hard use is planned than ...

Reminder to anyone not aware or that has forgotten - Early bird entries for the 2012 National Jeep Jamboree close 1st August.
If you are planning to attend strongly suggest you Register NOW (Link to rego form) to avoid the price rise.

No politics, just debating and in my opinion I disagree.

The up side is that VM Motori is not a Chrysler owned company - they have been making diesel engines for.... yonks, so whilst chrysler based supply may be less than perfect the original manufacturer of the engine is there as backup. The diesel electronics are made by Bosch so once again your not ...

It's not IF, it's WHEN

Hi... I know quite less about the vehicles but talking about the Jeeps, I am sure this is the only vehicle that can go to the harder areas any other Jeep can go. This is because of the body manufacturing and the technique that has been used in it that makes it more stronger. errr...no. In theory ...

Just a suggestion - see if you can get the 419's - There was a bloke on POS selling them for $2500/pair a few months back.
That way you get disc brakes and even more strength. Plus a few other benefits.

If you mean during articulation, won't it drop a few degrees as the top arms are shorter than the lowers on a 4 link + panhard ? Have run it with the front shaft only in and vibes are gone, so thinking it must be the rear shaft. Has been suggested I will have to run a Double Cardin joint to get rid ...

My last beater Chero ran LPG.
Biggest issue IMHO is where to put the tank - especially if running dual fuel.
I have the scuba tanks in the back and had a plywood false floor over that.
Worked ok - but did rob a fair bit of room.

Keep in mind the pinion will climb a few degrees, thus reducing the operating angle at the pinion end and incrasing the difference.
I'd prefer the pinion to be about 1deg lower than the t/case.

Yes....Sort of.... The width is correct and the bolt pattern is correct....and they both might be D35"s but.... You'd need to remove the leaf spring perches & shock mounts. Then burn on control arm mounts, coil buckets and new shock mounts. Then you'd most likely need to regear the std XJ ratio (3 ...

My biggest concern with the CRD is the long term avai;lability of parts - since this model was never available in the US there just isn't the vast amount of replacement parts that there is for the petrol engines.

Sorry mate - sounds like driveline angles are causing the vibs.

Yup will also help/fix death wobble (worn panhard components it the most common cause of DW).
Anyhow it was shipped out today, any questions or problems whatsoever just let me know.
Cheers mate.

If you look at the linkage there is a small plastic block with a bolt in it - this is intended for adjusting the shifter. If that doesn't work to your satisfaction then the ideal solution is to ditch the crappy factory design that mount half on the body & half on the t/case - to a kit like one from ...

If it ain't a Jeep I don't give a rats for it. A broken down old relic project is more interesting to me than some high powered ricer, regardless how fancy ;) If you are building it purely for show & light sand type work - then any old diff & t/case will probably live, but if you plan to unleash ...

That's one shiny camry project. Although it doesn't really demonstrate a knowledge of high HP in a 4wd application ;) Personally I think the Transfer case & diffs would need to be replaced with 500hp and I think the chassis would require substainal reinforcement. Not sayinbg it can't be done or ...

Could try this guy - http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/ftopic206243.php

If is a small non-structural peice (ie not a seat mount etc), sikaflex might be an alternative for you too.

now thats interesting...you have a torchmate..... what do you think of it...I was wondering about getting one. which one did you get and did you import it yourself? I have a Torchmate 1 in theory. But I have it on a 2500 x 1500 table with Linear Rails with the water table seperated from the main ...

On an XJ 30x9.5 will fit in the stock spare location, whereas a 31" will require either modification of the seat mount, or an external tyre carrier.

but
not sure how easy it is to get these days.. limited stock

Got more in transit and another order in with the manufacturer.
But feel free to contact me offline regarding the availability.

I think that's what he's talking about

Hammer tone rattle can

if you want to run patrol bushes, tap the ally and weld some thread to the bush tube. It is not all that expensive for 7000 series ally. Then the threaded rod becomes the weak point, and how strong the bar is doesn't matter then. The link is only as strong as the rod going into it. That is not ...

Wambat wrote:is por15 grippy??

Nope.
For that go Herculiner, Durabak or Rhino ($$).

X2 on POR-15 (just did my chassis in some).
Herculiner is another good DIY product.

IMHO if you have the room definately get the york. They can be fairly readily found in 80's volvos, v8 fords & valiants amoungst others. But be aware there are 3 different models relating to the capcity 206, 209 & 210. Some great info here - http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/jeep/yorkair.html My TJ ran the ...

is it too late to say flex is overrated? Yeah you're right, cos that shot of your's looks so stable. :roll: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e309/bad_religion_au/Car%20stuff/ads.jpg so pulling a radius arm bolt would have netted that much flex eh??? Nah, but pulling a few leaf hanger bolts might ...
