My xj and disco 2 both have 4.56 gears and I like 35s, had 33s on the xj and after I upped them the engine rpms dropped a little at highway speed and engine noise decreased. Hope that helps. I still can not believe that Toyota still uses drum brakes on Tacomas.
Someone brought up traction aides and these are what I use. I prefer these over maxtrcs, they make truck claws for semis and they help me on my trip to Anchorage Alaska. I have snow chains but they did not help me where the claws got me up and 8% grade hill.
I have a 2004 disco2 and I am thinking of pulling the v8 gas engine and replacing it with the ford 6.9 idi or the 4 ntb. Any suggestions on the swap might help.
Air and electric lockers can not be left ingauged all the time on the trail. The cable ox locker can,it go from and open dif to a spool. A lsd or posi dif will go back to a open dif at about 25000 mile (the internal clutches wareout. A Detroit truetrac, Eaton truetrac or a torsen limited slip...
Holley made a truck card that worked on angles. Very capable rig with lots of upgrade options. Detroit truetrac in rear and full locker in front and rock slides. Great base to start with. Good luck and have fun.
Ok taking stab at it after looking at pics. Use strong magnet that you can put cloth under it so that it does not scratch the paint. Put one on top and one on the hood. Plan B look for a good suction cup like the glass people use and once again on top and hood. This way they are removable and...
My priorities: 1) first aid kit and CPR class.2)shelter rtt or ground tent or hammock.3)food storeage and food for the trip (fresh to precooked).4)one and half gallons of water per person per day, add water for all types of cleaning.5)plan a short trip to start and test your setup.6)turn off the...
To be honest, my brother is a wielder and he made it for me when I told him what I was looking for. Sorry no pics I'm in Louisville ky and the xj is in ga at the house.
My f350 has cable ox lockers front and rear which I can leave engaged full time on the trail which turns them in to spools, off trail and disengaged they turn back into and open dif for road manners. The u.s. army put torsen lsd in the front and rear of the h1 humvee and they work very good. My...
Year and model / 2 or 4 door. Pay 1500.00 for my Freespirt rtt, I had the smitybilt xl for about 1000.00. I paid 1300.00 for my Freespirt m49. I put the first one on top but it was bad on fuel mileage and I had to set up and teardown before I went anywhere. I paid 1000.00 for a military trailer...
In the front and rear of my xj and my land rover disco 2 I use a torsen limited slip or and Detroit truetrac. They give me great road manners and great traction off road. Trophy trucks and drag cars use spools and the occasional off road only vehicle. My f350 has ox lockers front and rear.
