Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well done to the 19 year old in an unlocked mostly standard Jeep.. :armsup:

Going up against those big rigs was daunting, but she drove like a champion!!

There was a really good feel to the day, with all the ladies having a ball. The smiles on their faces after driving a hairy section (and ...

Try Jeep Parts at Hervey Bay

The TJ and JK are totally different with regards to tyre/lift..

I reckon you could run 35's on standard suspension with a little cutting..

Don't forget that JK's came with 33's (or near enough, on Rubi's) and TJ's came with 29's..

When they designed the JK the basically watched what people where ...

My TJ has High Pinion (a massive benefit for saving driveshaft damage and clearance) D44/D60 which are both way stronger than any Patrol diffs..


hmmm i wish i had spare coin layin arour for a 44/60 swap :bad-words:


You can have the diffs (SOLID AXLE INDUSTRIES) if you buy this. :armsup ...

Agreed, a D30 is not as strong as GU/GQ diffs...

Depends what you want to do, and what size tyres you want to run. Jeeps do things a bit different than
Patrols and cruisers, they're designed more for crawling than wheeling with speed. And a D30 with 33's - 35's work with no problems as long as you ...

Thought I'd better chuck a few pics up of the Jeep,

Been through a couple of builds on the TJ, still going........

SOLID HP D44/HP D60 with cromo axles, ARB's etc..
4.7L Stroker
Bastardised RE 2.5-3.5" lift, triangulated 4 link rear, 5" stretch

I'm in Redcliffe, if you want to bring the heep and a few beers over, I'm happy to have a look at your TJ.
Be good to get out on a run with other TJ's so you can see what works, and what doesn't..

that's nice of you, but what about the snorkle Georgie?

My experiences with Fourbies are similar to the others stated above..
It's like they couldn't be arsed...

I have had great service and prices from Mario @ Ace tyres Tingalpa.

The Big Tyre Group @ Lawnton are good if you're chasing Maxxis, ask for Mike.

Herculiner is another good DIY product.

Hope that POR-15's good for a few decades, that's how long it's gonna take to finish the Jeep..

Raptor linner...

DYI spray on, not as thick as Rhino.

Yep, you newbs put me in my place..

yeah thats right you could do all those things but youd be wasting more of my time and making yourself look like more of a wanker...

just so you know... in AUSTRALIA its called a shopping centre not a MALL... piss off to the US if you love it so much.

i simply put my post up to see if other JK ...

FFS, what is it with JK owners?......

Pissing and moaning about trivial shit all the time. Had this crap on every forum...

Indicators cancelling early, is it really that big a deal that people have feel they have to post it up?

The JK is a 4WD. A very capable one, it has a very strong full box ...

Oh no!!

harden up princess

There are five billion answers to your questions,
and all of them based on personal opionions, some of which will be crap..

Best answer is to get onto Ausjeepoffroad and research as much as possible, it's all there.

There are a few blokes on ausjeep from Carrum Downs, see if you can get out for a ...

Dave (Wooders) is the man to speak with on parts for the TJ..

Geez, never heard that before

Make sure to post plenty of pics, I can't wait

This is very discouraging, I come here asking for advice not to be mocked. If you have nothing constructive to add then please just leave it.

After looking at some of the people whos posted own vehicles i would not be mocking anyone elses ideas.

I have sat down and spoken to TW and to discuss it ...

Yes yes that's what he meant to say...

I think you're starting with the wrong vehicle for your first hardcore 4WD.

The RocstaJeep is way too much 4x4 for a beginner.

Perhaps start with something simple like a Patrol. Sure, they're not that good offroad. And you're going to have to make a few lifestyle changes.
Like, pulling a few front ...

it has been suggested solid are the people to talk to about this upgrade.



Yes, SOLID are the people to talk to..

Danny Milton is awsome and honest, he builds the best diffs and has fantastic customer service skills. Quality built diffs and always delivered on time, Danny is always available to ...

It will be a fully hektic and sick jeep rocsta with 4 40inch boggers on each Dana 70 axle.....

Maybe eight 60 series leafs on each side with some 9 inch shackles..

I'd fit an atlas and a stak, just to be sure.

I run a couple of Optimas in the heap, and after 12 months one is starting to loose charge..

We have a couple of old Odessys at work, they are at least 5 years old, rarely get charged (not fitted in vehicle, used as jump start pack) and hold charge as good as new..

Also heard a runour that Optima ...

I think Grand is better.Because more comfortable,more engines,more power and torque,more articulation.

XJ Cherokee has either a 4.0L six and or a 2.5L T/Diesel (which is a POS)
ZJ Grand Cherokee has only a 4.0L six (there were V8's in the US)

So same power, same torque.

Articulation is ...

Save yourself money by asking these questions at one of the mentioned Jeep experts in Melbourne..

Make a build plan and stick to it, TJ's are easy to mod. But they will become expensive if you change your mind and have to re-do anything.

IMHO for a tough Daily Driver/weekend warrior. (If based in ...

Fit a standard sway bar ................. and less squatting of the rear suspension on take off........

so how does a sway bar affect Anti-squat? or do you have a 'special' way of mounting it? :?

Perhaps I should have written that in another way.. But I'm a dumb arse and not an engineer ...
