    jba 4in lift

    Nope, his is a 2" & I don't understand why it's so expensive. I just ordered 1" thick steel plates cut to size by the steel yard, then I drilled the bolt holes. on the two bars for the engine cradle I had to use an angle grinder to make an indentation in the side to make room for the strut area...

    Front drive shaft

    A 231, I used that opportunity to upgrade (depending on your point of view) to the 242. Whoops, I didn't see that this went in to 2 pages. I just jumped right in!

    jba 4in lift

    These are with my front sway bar disconnects (also from JBA) removed & my rear sway bar uninstalled. Used a makeshift RTI:

    jba 4in lift

    I've got about 5 inches on it! It's a good kit. I was one of the first two commercial kits installed & rolling, so I was a bit of a guinea pig. Nearly all of my complaints were addressed with improvements in the kit. If you get the adjust-a-strut system, then all but one of my issues are...

    Front drive shaft

    That's what my KJ did before the t-case failed. I thought it was the front drive shaft too, but it was fine. If you can, remove the shaft & engage 4WD, drive it & see if the noise is still there... if it is, t-case.

    Land rover brags about "Differential Lock," don't we have it too?

    When did they get IRS? That must be pretty new. I haven't looked at anything newer than 2002, but they all have solid front & rear axles. From what I hear, GM small blocks fit with relatively little effort.

    Land rover brags about "Differential Lock," don't we have it too?

    A little research, & it turns out that the biggest difference is that the Rover is linked gear to gear, while in the NP 231/242 the front is chain driven. So the gears are directly locked, while we are locked until the chain breaks. Functionally, no difference though.

    Land rover brags about "Differential Lock," don't we have it too?

    All it is a locking mechanism in the transfer case, so they can have full time 4WD on road, & then lock the front output to the rear output for off-road, so there is equal power to the front axle as the rear... Sounds like a NP-242 to me! & the NP-231 does the same front to rear lock, but with...

    Feeler...would NE1 want to buy my JBA 4" lift with...

    The KJ really needs to go with the lift, otherwise I'll have a KJ with no suspension! I'll think up a price.

    My preferred method would be whole thing goes, & you do what you want with the rest, but we'll see. :)

    Feeler...would NE1 want to buy my JBA 4" lift with...

    I'm putting out a feeler here. Would anyone want to buy my JBA 4" lift with 1" K-frame drop, & shaved JE Reel axles, Skid Row engine & transmission plates, MOPAR t-case & gas tank skids, front & rear tow hooks, JKS quick disconnects, Mopar trailer hitch? I'm thinking if the buyer is willing to...

    Run 32" tires with stock 3.73 ratios... issues?

    Looking for new tires & I'm thinking it's time for 32"s. I already know I should have 4.10s to do this properly, & I understand the basic disadvantages of running a big a tire on a tall gear (less MPG, more power needed, slower acceleration, etc.) I do plan on 4.10s at a later date, but I need...

    Minnesota, anyone?

    I gave up on this thread shortly after I started it. Didn't realize y'all checked in. Where do we go wheelin'? I live in Lakeville (suburb) & the only place I've seen is way up on the Iron Range. Looks like fun, but that's more than a day trip for me!

    Has anyone used Pathfiner A/Ts? or Goodyear Authority

    Or how about Timberline A/T II LT?

    Has anyone used Pathfiner A/Ts? or Goodyear Authority

    I need to get some tires... cheap! I'm looking at 31x10.5-15. Walmart has the Goodyear Authority at $130 per tire & Discount Tire has the Pathfinder A/T for $127, bu8t they also have a $40 instant rebate, making them the better option in terms of price. The Pathfinders look like nearly...

    Extinction

    Really sorry to see you go. Just last week I was thinking I'd keep my KJ, & start saving for one of your SFA kits. Maybe someday I can be one of your custom jobs. I know where your coming from. My life's dream was to be an airline pilot. Getting here was extremely expensive, but fun... Now that...
