Haaa haaaaa u got me Hunty........ With someone as mod crazy as you its not hard to beleive when u say uu put a v8 in.............

[Hunno]

That's funny, a V8 conversion in a JK overnight and running! You can come and fit mine in the CJ should only take a man of your talent a couple of hours with no electronics!

Time to go, need to see how big a net you needed on AJOR.

I have been driving on near racing slicks for some time now and finally (thanx to selling my caravan on the weekend) was able to get some new treads.

Dilema; I really wanted to go up to 35's, after all I am geared for it 4.56's but to go back up to 35's would require the modification of my front bar / airtank and would negate my engineers certificate, which I am very very happy to have! infact as I drive past mobile speed cameras and random breast testing units I sit smug in my drivers chair! - smug feels good! - yes I know they can still get me if they want to (a mate of mine is a highway patrol cop and he jokingly told me that he could defect a brand new STD commodore if he wanted to) but I still like to feel smug! LoL.

As some of you know I have been asking for advice re which tyre has the best tread pattern and tyre wear prognosis and in the end I took Geoff aka Miraz' advice and went with the KM2's

My heap is approx 2meters wide and is normally a pita to get on a hoist or lifter, Its too wide and the wheelbase is often too short, and their lifters normally wont at full stretch get the wheels in the air, I told the guys at the tyre centre that it was high and wide and probably wouldnt fit their lifter but they didnt get it! so 4 guyz and 15 min later it fall off their lifter and they still hadn't gotten in the air (LOL). One of the wise tyre monkeys decided to lift it with a trolley jack in the centre of the diffs, which normally I would object to because as my fellow JKers will know - our diffs are made of cheese, anyway I was now running late so I just held my tongue and cheered as they finally got it in the air!

I asked the guyz for my old tyres as 2 of them are still legal and 2 will do incase of "Cape trip emergency" - the guyz laughed at me; "you will never get 4 tyres in that little Jeep" - I said "really" as I drove off with them LoL

photo's can be very deceiving - the first picture shows my new km2 35' next to my old MTZ 33' - looks big doesnt it?

Take a look at the same pic in context (above) - and you will see that I ended up with 33's again and not 35's LoL

!00,000km on the clock now - still absolutely love it!
replaced;
rear disc pads - fronts still better than 50%.
clutch - old one was still good - pressure plate was perhaps getting weak?
balljoints - drivers side top was stuffed - replaced all 4 to be sure!

under warranty;
clock spring.
oil pump - 2 new engines thanx to NO Oil pressure.
power steering pump.

Had a few leaks with the soft top,
Got a degree in JK DW and related suspension mods.

I have wheeled it almost every weekend on some pretty tough tracks!

It is my daily drive and I use it to get to and film in remote ares of OZ.

I tow boats, bikes, cars & caravans with it - great tow vehicle.

I get crap economy now thanx to my dumbass decision to gear it wrong - it came with 3.21's and I changed it to - 4.56's on 33's - I geared it for 35's but seen as i cant get it engineered on 35's - 33's will do fine, I get good crawling speed so 15l/100km I will put up with.

The Jeep is great to drive and very capable off road.

If the engine should falter even a tiny little incy wincy bit - Ill shoot it and replace it with a V8
