TH400
« on: June 17, 2010, 01:38:00 PM »
Right then after a lot of head scratching and .......... a major decision to go large with the YJ....... (I now only use it for events and getting there and hopefully back, and road trips to sort probs that are of my own doing and because of major mods :jpshakehead:

So collecting parts. Think I have tracked down a TH400 AMC flavour.... has anyone done this to a 4.0 litre (Novak have all the details) just prefer some feedback from closer to home........

Behind it will go my trusty Dana 300 and klune........

Then when I have tracked down some J20 axles 44 and 60 anyone?????? Please!!  I will swap to a non flippped dana 300

Fronts going out 6 inches and so is the rear...... and I'm staying at 4and half lift on leaves just to be obstinate.....and old school.

So until Dec when the tax and ins run out I'm spankin' it as usual after that the Mig will be workin overtime in the evenings......


So my real question for now is the TH400 question.......... anyone......?

Dana 70 & 80 seem like massive overkill - what size are these axles and what tyre size would you expect to go with them? Imagine the diff dragging on the ground with 35s fitted  :017:

you can shave the bottom of the diff and it would be just like any other axle. why would it be extra overkill to pull it around or better asked... if a dana60 is good for 40in tires would it not be smarter to run 38 and never worry about braking anything?
its not overkill its peace of mind.....

Yeah your right Jono the 70/80 combo is going to be a ton of extra weight (prob literally) and deffo need your tyres 44s. So thats the end of my road days :icon_twisted:

The difflock ad  is the same as Marks contact...... (Doncaster) ex military take out and 5.13s..... So that bit means affordable axles with (for me ) the correct (I think ) ratios....

Its just dealing with the hubs to get to a wheel mounting surface closer to the disc that doesn't have a gazillion lug nuts. (without bleeding out your finances in the direction of Dynatrac)

Think these might end up being bought and ....................years of research later............... might just get used :icon_sad:

King CJ .....how much you want for that TH400 and is it a goer?

I think those axles would rip an XJ unibody apart but do give me ideas for FSJ / J-Truck type builds...Hmmm
