Sorry mate, haven't been on here much lately as you can tell.

They are made by Liquid Iron Industries.

I'll end up putting a whole lot of stuff on Trade Me eventually. I have a massive Jeep hoard of parts to attend to, shifting house on the 26th Feb so I'll create a stock pile of parts to list.

Hi All, Been busy working on jeep and still havent managed to get transfer case engaging well ? 1 - it seams very stiff is this ussual 2 - i cant adjust the linkages so all modes can be engaged and often gets stuck in one setting. I see there are 2 adjustmentrs for linkages where to start ? or coul...

And well it's time to turn XJ Crawler in to a proper rock crawler, and a street legal one! Thanks to Tom from Toms Offroad and Customs he has made this possible and dream come true. Work in progress, enjoy the photos. More to come as it progresses. Looking forward to hitting some rocks!! New build: ...

I've got some relocation shackles, IRO shackles, and an IRO leaf pack and front springs plus Bilstein 5100 front shocks to suit if interested, the full kit will give approx. 6-6.5" lift. You will just need to source some long arms etc. as I'm still using these on my rig. Reason I've pulled them...

Hey didn't end up using any of it in the end, just bought some hollow bars and had Rick set up the front. Tie rod, drag link and track bar all 100% straight with no bends. (The IRO one wasn't going to work with my WJ d&c conversion)

I think he just got a bit excited and wanted to be in the photo to be honest

Here's some even more recent photos. Definitely put a smile on my face. Nearly entered the realm of the Jeeps. FYI - Iron Rock Offroad RHD track bar, over the knuckle steering etc.. no good on this project. The guys have done a great job setting up new brackets, angles and mounts for steering and tr...

Still not mobile. **fingers crossed for this weekend** - Rick's had to get some bits machined up, he's setting it up to run the same drive shaft front and rear which will be awesome!

Here's some more recent shots. Chromoly axles in, diff rebuilt, re-geared, and locker in just cable not plumbed in yet.

That is looking very nice. x2 One way to check the strain on the unibody of these vehicles when lifted is to park it on some undulated terrain where both ends are articulating to at least half of their max travel, then get out and try to open and close all doors (including the tailgate). Also check...

Looking cool fella (and if you tell anyone I said that about a jeep I'll make you drive a terrano :mrgreen: ) When's the shake down? Could do a combined one on worsleys with Kaney and maybe my pos (if I get my shit together and jezza gets the fuel tank sorted in time) Weekend after our next holiday...

Sorry I haven't been on here for quite some time. The build is coming together slowly, it should be drive-able this time end of next week with the drivetrain completed. I have 100% scraped the RHD over the knuckle steering kit from IRO, and gone with a custom setup. (Will have to do a write up for t...

Any comments on the newer JK Wranglers? Petrol vs Diesel, Auto vs Manual? (mainly for reliability) Would be used occasionally off road, but mainly a daily driver Cheers If it were me a newer auto Rubicon would be sweet. Might be a touch more expensive to run than the other JK models being a lower r...

My transfer case was slightly rattly...so bought another off Trade me...never fitted it as was too lazy (99 XJ NZ new) . Now my rear Dana 35 diff is howling...worse of two evils...anyone want to swop a Dan35 for a Transfer NV242 with Drive Shaft? Bugger I just gave my d35 away free a couple months ...

Update: Still waiting on Beadlock Rims, looks like it's going to take a total of 8 weeks from the time I've ordered them to be made. Wish I didn't put a deposit down on it. Anyway, messing round a bit with some tyres as seen in pics below. I'm going to run 37's again, i'll just be gentle to the Supe...

Correct me if I'm wrong but maximum is 50mm above stock.

Go all out get a long arm, chromolys and lockers be sick as lol

np242 Center differential....IIRC "The 2WD and 4x4 full time ranges can be used at any time and on any road surface. The 4x4 part-time and 4 Lo ranges are for off road use only. The only time these ranges can be used on hard surface roads, is when the surface is covered with snow and ice."...

full time 4wd ..... :?:that's why the binding on full lock feeling Shouldn't bind up in full time. In the full time it lets the front and rear driveshafts spin at different speeds so it shouldn't be winding up the transfer case. So in short the front and rear can operate at different speeds. In par...

Could always block the bonnet up too, that with vents should be all good.

I see you've made your decision, these would be the questions that you'd have to ask yourself. Square vs Curves? Headroom vs Not so much headroom? Then you've got the rear end, coil vs leaf? A budget? Running gear reliability an issue to you? I personally fall with the XJ, love that retro older styl...

I'll end up taking it through Don

Here's what the plan is for mine: wj hub carrier conversion to get the draglink higher, probably end up having to make a straight track bar cut, threaded and adjustable joints added. Then the track bar mount on the diff redone or extended to match the height of the draglink. This will provide a more...

Putting back together again. Need to get the SRS Airbag logos off the passenger cover and steering wheel cover before I put them back on.
