12 custom bull bar & tray
13 front & rear winchs
14 race seats
15 wheels , tyres & bead locks
16 bet thear is a lot more will keep you posted with pics on the bild
ok the PWR radiator is on its way from power parts @$1175 TO THE DOOR (but as i live out off town i will have to go pick it up from tnt depo custon intake manafold is order as well @ $639 from perfomance car parts in WA looks sweat still trying to find a bits n pices on the net got the quote from GAS 1 for the gas kit $3800 as i allready have the tank out off a GQ i brought for parts so a bit off the huge list is on its way
i have a dual cab td42t now with a denco turbo 3" exhaust lot off mods it gets hot on long hills when i tow have cooked 2x motors so far and it don't go as fast up hill as my m8 4.8 with the same load n it temp needle never moves its on gas he gets there for half the cost
OK guys I'm looking at a ARB air locker in the front ( i have one for the job ) but I'm not 100% on the rear as i tow n drive on a lot of dirt when i put a air locker in the back i tend to miss the LSD have been running a tight LSD in my dual cab but do miss the full lock off the ARB air locker in the hard going so was thinking a auto locker (lokka ) how have ppl found them on road n off road had one in the front off 1 off my old trucks was very hard to turn but but was good other wises
ok got some off the bits to day intake manifold (wrong one has to go back) pwr radiator GPS DVD stero with bule tooth nkg spak plugs $125 glad thay told me thay last 100,000 Ks n the gate shifter for the auto looks real nice now just to make it work ( lol ) custiom work well still looking for bits n spending $$$$$$
nead to get a new torque convter n nead to know whean i whant it to lock up (RPM) with a turbo 4.8 but still good off road was looking about 1800 RPM what do you guys with 4.8 think is that to low as the one i have now is 1500 RPM on my old tb42 auto guy say that the motor will not get to its power band n well drink more fule
Got any links to the general lee pics? I did search with google and didn't have much luck.
What size tyre and what size lift are you running on the SWB? Thats one best looking SWB trays I have seen, the whole set up looks great.
hi sim well in the pic the tyre r 39.5" i have a set off 37" that i like beter so i sold the 39.5" thow i do have a set off 40" in the shead to fit to it some day its got 6" tough dog & 1"body lift and as for the best looking SWB tray thanks mut its a LWB wagon cut down 300mm to a MWB
Looking forward to the build, but a suggestion, a topic titled "wish list" isn't going to get you answers to specific questions like the Lokka one - start new topics for that stuff - in the right place so that you don't get warnings from pseudo mods about being banned
