hey mog axle's under a tj is great - for the terrain the uk has it's probably the best compromise.

really looking forward to see this project grow...

this baby is hopefully destined for a little more than just the uk.
i think the biggest compromise is weight, gearing can always be fixed for any type of driving.

To rebuild 60's over here still costs a fair bit, once you stick what they use in them from over the pond :lol: )

(Anyway, all my comments are from what i pick up from others and research. So putting into practice is where it counts, Vapour Builds dont count )

Gotta start some where to get to this point mate!

greggmo · « **Reply #30 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:41:50 PM »

it would be cool to keep it at that hight and fit the mogs under.

Bubba · « **Reply #31 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:50:56 PM »

yess indeed that would very cool but could it be done

isle of man · « **Reply #32 on:** October 26, 2008, 09:02:14 PM »

yes it can - seem to recall a photo with a green TJ MOG equipped.

doublej · « **Reply #33 on:** October 26, 2008, 09:20:48 PM »

Sure it can - its a question of how much uptravel you want.

Well that or how much of the body you want to chop off.

doublej · « **Reply #38 on:** October 27, 2008, 07:09:34 PM »

no sideshift dave69, thats the steering ram your looking at.
and im only getting one "delivery" on saturday. the rest is going in the back of your rangie. i dont have anywhere to put it anyway lol.

oh and 1 3/4 outer dia and yeah anything roundish looking.

wazza · « **Reply #39 on:** October 27, 2008, 08:59:33 PM »

its lookin good so far,
if you want to get those wheel hubs off the stubs all i can say is good luck :-?

gearing wise ive had mine round the bloc a few times an i guess that it'll do about 45/50 full pelt if i dare. thats on a 4ltr AW4 np242

bubba youve taken the work right out my mouth, rockwells :-D :twisted:

doublej · « **Reply #40 on:** October 27, 2008, 11:37:56 PM »

yeah a friend removed the hubs with a press. I got my hub convo and brake adaptors from WEPS offroad, real simple and straight forward.
i think rocks are over rated, its nothing more than a poor mans mogs. but ive never ran them.

Bubba · « **Reply #41 on:** October 28, 2008, 08:49:57 AM »

i think some of the axels used in the front end of tractors would be interestin they give lots of clearance and seem amazingly slender for the work they do biggest down side is no brakes so you would have to put a disc conversion on the prop

doublej · « **Reply #42 on:** November 02, 2008, 08:27:07 PM »

well big props to aslyum and warthog.....................
we have a rear 4link mocked
