Could be because I drive like an old lady, but I think the 6spd gearbox helps a bit. I actually find that the gearing makes more sense (feels better) with bigger wheels on.

Does anybody know how to adjust the speedo back to true, after upsizing the wheels. I need this to be 100% for navigation.

Winch size?

Any opinioins on what the best size for a TJ winch is? I'm thinking small, like 6/8000LBS, as I like that my tj is nice and light, not half winch, half truck! Also I have just fitted 31' Muddies (up from stock) I was getting about 13l/100Ks with a 6 speed box. What should I expect to get now ...

How much easier my life would have been if I was handy with the spanners! Took the new Jeep out for th efirst time this weekend, just to get the new car shine off it. Goes alright! Bit worried about the clearance at the back, may have to do something about the rear bumper/mudflap configuration. Does ...

Thanks for the advice mate! I think it is safe to say that I don't want to spend more than I nead to, but that being said I havelearned the hard way if you go the cheap option up front you'll only get to a stage where you want to upgrade any way, later down the track, and you actually end up ...

The quote I got from ARB included fitting (and was strangely enough a once only offer). Not to worried about the stearing damper, more the disconnects. Just added it because Opposite Lock said they could do that for a few $s extra. As I said before it is not neccesarily height I'm after more ...

Damn! Should have hung on to the Suzi! Now I'm gonna be broke in no time at all. What I'm after is simple. 3" (or a the least 2.5") suspension lift, with improved articultion, to fit 31"s A/Ts. I'm also looking at disconnects, and stearing dampers to go with suspension setup. As a heads up both ...

Thanks. I have done some enquiries about OME (via ARB) and they seem unwilling to provide anything above 2". Its the whole Insurance/Legality thing. Personally I don't care about that as I made sure my insurance covers mods, and so does the Jeep warrenty. All I'm interested in is getting the best ...

I'm in Melbourne.

Is it worth looking at second hand gear? Don't the springs etc. sag after a while?

Lift for new Wrangler?

Hi Just bought a new 2005 Wrangler renegade, after years of Zuuk driving! Looking forward to testing the limits of this machine, but first need a bit of advice: I don't do competition/serious offroad stuff, but I still want good off-road ability when required. I'm wanting a little bit of lift and ...

Body Lift / Suspension Kit

Thanks for all the replies! I sounds like the only way to do this really is to make your own lift blocks etc.. Does any body know (when doing all this yourself) how lifting the body affects brakes, wiring, stearing, gear console, bumpers etc? I have been told that with a Vitara body lift, special ...

Vitara 1600 Body Lift / Suspension Kit

Hi

Does any body know of a place that does body lifts around Melbourne? I'm also trying to get hold of a Calmini suspension/lift kit for my Vitara, if any body knows of a local supplier.

Cheers
