    Project to divert KK coil to KJ

    This project started by acquiring a used KK strut for $20. At first, I was thinking of just checking the structure or reusing the clevis. However, the free length of the spring attached to it was 25mm shorter than that of the KJ. The wire diameter is also thick. The number of turns is also...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I got two Monroes. And I got the forbidden lift kit. I don't like the angle of the mount plate and the mount bush. So, I won't use it as is. Under research. Or rather, the shock boots aren't included...I don't use it though.

    Yet another Engine Swap

    Also the valve cover gasket. The harness is in the way and the screws are far away. And oil tends to leak.

    Upper control arm alternatives

    The service manual contains definitions that cannot be measured without a flat floor and a height gauge.

    Ball jointed sway bar links

    I don't feel the need to align the centers. Below is a steel. In your photo the screws look short. T-series tightening torque cannot be tolerated unless there are at least 5 threads...

    Ball jointed sway bar links

    Since Tein is M12, a collar was not necessary. Also, since a washer with a thickness of about 2 mm is placed on the ball joint side, it is possible to replace the washer with the collar. I am not a Tein salesman.

    Ball jointed sway bar links

    Iron may be better because the tightening torque is higher. I tightened it with 120N・m.

    Ball jointed sway bar links

    One concern. To adjust the diameter, a flanged collar seems preferable. This way, the tightening force of the nut will be applied to the collar and the collar will not wobble in the hole. I hope it goes well.

    Ball jointed sway bar links

    The one I bought is Tein, a suspension parts manufacturer that is famous in Japan mainly for racing-related products. Tein also has a base in the USA, so you may be able to buy it there. https://www.tein.com/products/sblink_rod.html I used SPS23-R5913. The mounting screws are a little short.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I didn't have to work today, so I went to the nearby riverbank.There are many moguls and mounds that can only be conquered by Suzuki Jimny (Samurai).

    Quiet AT tires

    Vote for G015. in Japan, AT standard is Yokohama, Others are always compared to yokohama. I believe that unequal pitch blocks were used to suppress resonance. Currently, TOYO's RT is slightly dominant. But that's a question of wildness in design.

    Drive Train Issues

    Let's vote here. https://www.jeepkj.com/threads/how-long-did-your-42rle-automatic-transmission-last-before-it-blew-up.78374/ If resale is 0, It's probably cheaper to repair it and drive it. Or follow consumer capitalism and buy a new car every three years.

    KJ general reliability information

    The U-joint will come apart if you remove the C-clip. You can put grease in there and put it back together or replace it with one with grease zark. There are several bearing diameters and joint widths, so it's a good idea to measure them in advance.

    Ball jointed sway bar links

    I was a little confused whether to attach it to the front side or the back side of the LCA tab. I'm using an RC clevis spacer(about35mm), so I use it at about 180mm. If there is nothing near the clevis top mount, extending it a little more should be a better geometry. Before driving, check...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I ordered a set of two Monroe front shocks. Only one arrived. No, only one didn't arrive.

    Engine Performance Upgrades

    Your new challenge is very fresh here. How much did you lower the car height? It looks like a general-purpose spring will fit in the front, The short rear springs are only sold with about 30mm down, so It may be better to have it custom made. It might be better to lower the outer diameter of...

    Engine Performance Upgrades

    I'm surprised that the word "Drift" is here. Rest in peace Ken Block. For drifting, Strong brakes and knuckles that allow for large steering angles are also likely to be needed. If you remove the drum brake, you will no longer be able to use the parking brake as a trigger for drifting. If...
