Guards you can trim but will the army hangers be long enough to fit the 35s under I meant the inside of the guards, next to the engine bay, when you turn the steering wheel. You can reduce the amount of turn but that will obviously affect your turning circle. The longer shackles will create a great...

Consider also that the front tyres will probably scrape the inner guards when you turn and the rear tyres may scrape when it articulates.

Like both Doggreen and 5988 said.

If the axle breathers (they are on top of the axle) are blocked the diff heats up and if it gets too hot it can blow out the oil seals. This is what it looks like that has happened in your case.

Howdy and good to see your project.

Looks pretty straight overall and it's probably about due for a strip down and rebuild. Good on ya. :)

You've got some good space to play in there, I'm looking at it with a little envy.

Where are you based?

Hi Dani, First off, this link might help to answer some of your questions. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/general-chat/60329-mud-snow-chains.html Secondly, it looks in the video as though you didn't your centre diff lock engaged, but either way you need four chains not two.

You might better off posting your query to the NZLROC group on Yahoo Groups. They look a lot like the Jeep Service/Triple Traction SATs. I've seen them on a couple of vehicles, most recently on a really really nice ex-army series 1 restoration at the Waiuku Steam Fair. They look the deal but have no...
