Cheers, well its just gone... Traded it in.

Yea, it's not really ideal for me in Auckland. 99% of the time its being used on the road and I'd rather be driving a nice car. If I lived back in Queenstown however a trucked worked nicely down those ways.

Well they are out and it's smoother than ever, even changing gears is smoother, much nicer.

Sold, I've sent you an email. They comin out this Thurs.

Well I decided I'm gunna pull that body lift out. Caused far too many troubles. Real stiff shifting between 4wd and low, sometimes pops outa 4wd or rides really rough, it clanks etc etc... Seems to be too much strain on the transfer case linkage even with the adapter, everything's all stretched ...

Well I got rid of the squeaks. Rear muffler, transfer case linkage was sitting up against the original mount, so got the holes bored a bit so it would sit lower and the glove box squeaked also lol. Now the knocking sound has changed slightly, and I'm pretty sure its the transfer case linkage ...

Well I got the new bushes fitted but the truck is still making a terrible knocking sound and a squeek when it goes over bumps or it jolts. I have a feeling it could be something to do with the transfer case linkage but I'm not completely sure. My mechanic couldn't seem to figure it out but I'm ...

Last weekend I installed:

JKS TJ 1.25" Body Lift
Rubicon Express TJ 2” Spacer System (W/ Monotube Shocks)

Greg - 0210554549, he knows youre likely to be in touch

Awesome cheers for that, have made contact.

OK so the Wooder's ones are good if I'm just wanting bushes for now?

How would I get in contact with Greg, I would probably rather buy from NZ rather than have to order overseas if I can help it. What type did he have?

Oh cool cheers.

Wooders ones made from Clevite? Never heard of this..

I see, but wouldn't a cheap replacement of the bushes for now to get rid of the horrid thumps be a good idea? Will those ones from Wooder's not last long?

Do you have prothane ones I could buy off ya?

Justjeep has no listings, so I can't contact them at the moment.

I see, it's the lower front left control arm. Aftermarket control arms such as:

WOW I just found a replacement busher for $36 bucks!

Is it really worth going all out or is there other mods that would be better to do before control arms?

Hi I heard that there is a good 4WD track in Waitoki, Auckland? It is supposed to be public land and open to anyone, has anybody got any information on this place, I'd like to go check it out sometime...

hmm I have had a bit of a look around and maybe be able to source a set through a mates uncle who owns a car parts business and sells almost everything! But I would be keen to join a bulk order if others here are into that. Well at the end of the first day with the lift the truck started making a ...

Well got it all sussed, I had to adjust one of the links, not sure what it's called but you can adjust the leaver so that all options work. I loosened the bolt and slide it along the leaver a bit meaning you could slide the inside handle right back to get it into 4WD low and when in 2WD the leaver ...

lol won't go into all the 4wd options very well though, the t-case linkage thing bumps into the bolts of the new t-case shift linkage.

Is it weird that myns on the passenger side not the drivers?? Maybe they mean on American drivers lol. All is good now found it and a 10min job to change. Cheers for all the assistance! Shocks next which should be easier.

Hey I'm having a bit of a struggle finding where to change the T-Case Shift Linkage. I have pulled away the carpet around the drivers floor side and can't find the 4 bolts they talk off. Anyone got a diagram or photos which could assist me to find what I need to take off and replace.

Thanks heaps.

Standard photo, will post another when all the raising is done.

I managed to stretch it to where it should be and it's not too bad now, usable. So everything done now except the T-Case Shift Linkage, I don't know really what to do for that one yet, I'll see how it goes and maybe do it when I do the suspension lift.

Now I have the problem off the petrol tank hose not reaching where the cap would screw in. What would you do about that?

Body lift seems like it's got more problems than everyone says!

Hey just doing the body lift now and got everything in. The kit came with a T-Case Shift Linkage, little plate with holes in it. Do I need to change that?

Oh sweet, think I will do it myself then, doesn't seem to bad. Days work should do it ah. Will post away if I get stuck!

Actually not getting it done till Wednesday next week. Getting my local mechanic to do it and hes busy till then. I prob should do it myself but I'm a bit lazy. Body lift needs 11 bolts undoing and doing for the mounts and 4 bolts for the fan shroud. Easy enough to do in the driveway. Save the ...

Pretty sure myn is a 60L tank and I get 400km's. Pretty bad but I'm used to it with previous gas drinking cars lol. My motorbike however is about 3 times as economical!

wow arrived already! Like 5 days.

Well got it all sorted finally and the kit is on its way.

Cheers all, will update when it's fitted.

Oh ok, I did try ring the no. they had there "From outside Australia phone 612 9477 4312." But said the number wasn't connected or something. I will try again tomorrow.

Yea Wooders
