Some pics of Rubione Kenobe




Ado

I'll have to change my signature![/img]

Just picked up my new rig - Wrangler unlimited rubicon with dual top

just installed the 2" lift

very cool

ablsolutely love it espectially the diff locks, sway bar disconnect and the 1:4 low range!

Ado

I ended up getting the Procomp wheels for $140 ea

thanks for you help

Ado

The same happened to me - after a service the mechanic hasn't done up the crank bolt enough and the harmonic balancer has ridden forward and probably chewed off the locating dowel on the cam belt cog (not catastrophic). If you're lucky you'll be able to tighten it up, put the car in 4th gear ...

Thanks for the info Stickman

Hubs don't seem to be a problem

How much were the procomp rims, if you don't mind me asking?

Ado

I need some 17" rims, same offset and stud pattern as my new Wrangler unlimited for my camper trailer

Where could I get some and does anyone know what are the specs of the new wrangler 17" wheel (offset and stud spacing)

Ado

PS don't tell the mitsu boys that I've bought a Jeep!

Yeah

I'll be waiting the Rubicon 4door is about $52000 drivaway

I drove a diesel manual unlimited (non rubicon) today and it was very cool - best handling 4wd with live axels front and rear that you could drive

Can't wait now

Ado

Yep,

no 4 door rubicons with a duo roof until 2008

Ado

Gents,

Who do I have to contact to order 3.15 gears for my 3.5l NJ?

I finally have the money

Ado

All the mitsies have a 1: 1.9 T/C ratio for some weird reason

Ado

J Top

Thanks mate,

any idea where I might get one of those?

Ado

Nigel,

Probably the only thing with the 3.5ls is the valve stem seals are a mongrel to change and they'll probably need changing (common fault- smoke at idle).

you'll probably get 12-15l per 100k on 31's

Ado

Dex

I highly regard the BFG A/T's

57000k on them, probably 20000k to go, no flats - excellent traction (for an AT) and will run happily all day at 15PSI in the soft stuff

But then again an opinion is an opinion

Ado

Al

Thanks - looking forward to the pic

Ado

Rosco

Yeah thanks mate, I got one of those - won't fit, there's not enough clearance around the valve springs - with 4 valves per cyl there's only 1mm between the spring and the head casting itself...,

There must be another tool or some thing

Ado

Smoke is embarrassing, especially at the lights and at a drive through – I seem to have to top up the oil constantly (compression is good)

Constant smoke at idle after a few minutes parked and a big cloud when you take off then disappears as revs climb

Rosco

That part of it I'm fine on ...

Lads

as the subject says what tool do I need to compress the valve spring in my 6g74 engine so I can change the valve stem seals (in car without removing the heads)?

I've tried the little finger type to no avail

I 've heard that i need one that bolts onto the cam journals or something

Ado

New or recore radiator - that's the go

priciey I know but cheaper than cooking the donk

once it's right you can get back to abusing the terrain as God intended

the fastest way to stuff up a good engine is to not maintain the cooling system.

Ado

Thanks mate

Cool, but how much??

mechz

Only thing I can think of is getting a signwriter to use his computer graphics and vynal cutter to make you exactly what you want

Ado

klrevo,

what make and model is that humungo compressor of yours and how much are they?

Ado

Yep the 06 is similar

I was able to make the windows operate on ACC and I added another relay and got the windows to operate without the key as long as the door is open - it switches with the door switch.

Thanks for the advice

Ado

Beeno

Thanks mate, assuming the 2000 se is like the 2006 - all should be good

Ado

Bitza,

I would love the 3.15's but would not be able to perform the mods as you describe. Would either of you guys be prepared to fit them into a T/c and then send it over here for me to install

bit like a service exchange deal???

Just fishing

Ado

Thanks guys

my donk is about to get a reno - valve stem seals, IAC motor, O2 sensor, radiator flush etc

Nl would the stepper mote in the SOHC be the same as the DOHC one?

Ado

Lads,

can anyone tell me where the power relay for the elecy windows is? - I want to set it up so that the windows can be operated when the door is open without the ignition on

Ado

Lads

Can you get ISC motors and O2 sensors for 6g74 aftermarket?

maybe from auto one, supercheap or repco?

Ado

NCpaj'

If it bolted in properly and it cranks the engine well - i'd leave it in

Ado

What model?
