    4x2 vs 4x4. Need Help

    Engine braking is different than wheel braking. I was able to drive my 5 speed manual front wheel drive jetta through as much snow as the 4x4 jeep and control it, more engine braking and control. Driving always comes down to the driver and their knowledge of the systems. 4x4 doesn't add...

    Differential Questions

    I filled both diffs and tcase until fluid was dribbling out, then sealed up. Your second question is hard to answer since it is something you are feeling/comparing. I would have guessed it would have gotten better with new fluid, maybe be sure you have enough in there?

    What Oil Should I use in my kj?

    stay dino and keep to specs. I think 5w30 is spec from manual, 5 qts. just be sure to match specs on the back of a bottle of oil, and be good about changing it. there are too many people spreading all kinds of gospel about one type over another, its all over the net. I have asked for...

    Bought our second KJ - Bad news

    thats all you can hope for. as long as they inspected them, that is fine, they would be able to tell if they needed to be machined. I would bet you didnt have an overheat but just a faulty gasket or something

    how much ground clearance?

    hardly, there are plenty of good yota platforms I am not saying I would do it, but for practicality and cost, why build up a KJ when you could start off with something else cheaper and have half of it ready to go? I have no problem with the IFS on the kj, but my disco axles are much better...

    how much ground clearance?

    thats my point, a bigger lift ie longer travel, helps keep wheels on the ground so you gain traction.

    how much ground clearance?

    you are better off starting a project for something like that with a different vehicle platform. axles, diffs, everything needs to be built strong and geared correctly to even think about turning those tires. start with a toyota

    how much ground clearance?

    people tend to get carried away with lifting. I would first get tires that can handle some action. Start with that, then find out what is holding you back the most, if its traction, a lift doesnt do anything unless its traction due to lack of articulation. If clearance really is an issue, get...

    sounds awful, guess I need to keep an eye on fluid levels in that thing more often.

    4x4 problem

    you probably didnt have it all the way in or put it in slowly and it didnt engage. I would bet it is fine now. Still probably want to change the fluid soon, I think it is due at 60k and again at 90k or something around there. tjkj, after 6k miles its black? thats horrible, doesnt seem right

    how much ground clearance?

    only thing that raises diffs are taller tires. the way to get taller tires to stuff is longer travel suspension. sometimes the only way to get enough of anything is to start cutting in to things.
