Hello jeep drivers,
i'm after some advice.
I've had my GQ for 7 years now and am thinking about a jeep wrangler.
So i'd like to build a jeep and keep my 36 centipedes.
What is needed on a jeep to keep these tyres?
How much suspension and body lift woudl i need? with or without chopping guards?
How much is a slip yoke eliminator? do i need one of these?
are the stock axles good enough? will the diffs take lockers that wont bust axles? Is the transfer case strong enough, or does that have to be replace?
are there diff ratios available here in aus?
Thanx for any help boys

Well Dave you've opened a bag of worms here 
Yes you will need a slip yoke eliminator, cost vaires and will depend if you fit it yourself. Fairly easy job to do, just is a bit time consuming.
I'm currently running the pedes on my TJ and I have been running 35's for almost 3 years now, my theory on the front diff is that when it breaks I'll do something about it but she is still ticking along nicely, with a locker in the front. Ratios are readily avaliable in AUS in an assortment of sizes.
In regards to lift you'll need to look at around the 5" in total, I'm big on suspension but you can eaily do it with some body lift as well. I run the 5.5" Rubicon express system and I pretty happy with it and it is what I recommend to most of my customers.
In saying that there will be other thingsa to keep ontop of like your front hubs and the steering, they will cope with the 35's but just.
I'm sure there will be more people with more adivce m8, so I'll leave a bit more to them, if you ever want to check out my TJ and see whatthe go is just let me know.

It is built for competition and also trail duties.TakeTwo wrote:where is the car going with the 100litre fuel tank ? Im guessing its not being used for short course events/trips.
If you come out to Ozrock in December it should be there.
We have to show the owner the panel damage on the firetruck though to make sure he absolutely wants to go through with it. hehe
It is a very nice buildup with some amazing Cheezy work as per usual.
Definitely one to look out for.
cheers
