New 4.8 auto mods
Posted: Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:26 am
I am about to take delivery of another vehicle, to replace V8 100 series set up for touring plus TJ wrangler that was well set up for off road. The plan is to have a capable on and off road vehicle suitable for daily driver, towing camper trailer and reasonable off road capability. So far planning the following mods and wonder if anyone has any further ideas / feedback? It will all be done in one hit.
Suspension - Tough Dog 45mm adjustables on 2" HD springs, castor correction and steering damper, replace rear lower control arms same time. Should I also do sway bar disconnect at the same time? Any other ideas?
Drive train - Prolockers with change diff ratio from 3.545 to 4.11, Marks adaptor electronic speedo correction, diff breathers extended
Tyres - 285/70/17 Cooper STT's (already have these)
Factory winch bar and towbar "free" with vehicle, will live with these
Warn 9.5XP winch off Optima blue top battery to replace standard one (have 2 of these in garage unused at present)
70+ odd litre aftermarket sub-tank (none in standard vehicle any more so more comprehensive fitting involved)
Sliders (which to get?)
Snorkle, K&N filter to improve breathing (intake side)
Refit old Black widow drawers and cargo barrier from LC100
Second battery and controller under drawer system (Will not fit in front)
HIR IPF's off LC100 to be fitted
May change exhaust some time for HPC coated high flow system but not urgent.
Thanks for any feedback / ideas on the above setup. Really want to do it once and do it right. Not interested in bigger tyres of bigger lift so will stick to these specs. Cheers, Rog
