?? Are you saying that this process doesn't work? http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/zj/speedo/speedo.htm Thanks

Hi, Sorry to be a pain but I'm being stuffed about by my local Jeep agent. I have a 95 XJ and the speedo is reading out by 10% ie I'm doing 110km when showing 100kmph. Current drive is a 35 tooth so on the basis that they are roughly 3% per tooth I want to order a 32 tooth one. The parts guys...

I have had them for 18 months in the 235*75 light truck version and love them. I run 40lbs on normal road and find they are fine in the wet. Let them down to 20lbs on metal roads / off road and traction is great. Traction off road at 40lbs is awful if you happen to forget! They aren't very noisy...

Just last week a local XJ owner mentioned to me that he had a serious leak where the electrics go through the body at the rear door. This caused the water to run through the back and down under the seats. Might be worth a check.

sorry no answer but I want to do the same on a temporary basis for that odd "dodgy" river crossing maybe in conjunction with a radiator blind (or sheet of something) as I don't want to have a snorkel. So if anyone answers will they please consider that as well. Hopefully this doesn't steal your...

Ok I know this is probably really dumb of me but off road in 4wd lo I have never bothered putting the gearbox into first gear because I thought that like most automatics I wouldn't get any engine braking. On the weekend I was working the brakes a bit hard on a steep long downhill and threw it...

Thanks, what a great, easy to understand explanation. It all makes sense now and I now know what people are talking about when they go on about adding lockers as I couldn't see why they needed them. Cheers.

Hi, I'm going to try and put this in clear simple English as I don't have a science degree! When in part time 4wd or low 4wd I believe that the wheels are effectively locked and equal power will go to each wheel. Correct? An LSD will apportion power to keep both wheels trying to achieve...

"Please don't use the term "retard". It is extremely offensive and insensitive to the thousands of persons who actually have developmental disabilities. " It is the people who refer to those thousands as "retards" who are offensive, in the context of "I'm a CB radio retard " it is fine.

I'm running a stock setup with 235*75 R 15 Cooper S/T in the LT. I chose the LT for stiffer sidewalls (read in theory less trail damage). I chose the S/T as a middle ground between an AT and a Mud so expect to compromise on ride etc. The reality is that I run them at 40psi and they hum on tarmac...

Stock 95 Limited ex Japan (so leather seats, wood grain etc and bash plate front & rear) with three tow hooks added and a tow bar (hitch) with 5 brand new 235*75 R15s in LT is 3443lbs with half tank of petrol. Weighed this weeks at local refuse station scales. (no I'm not dumping it, I'm wrapped...

There are many variables here but if you use the search you will find the answer is 235*75R15 or 30*9.5 and the conservative vote is for 235 while most folk seem to get away with 30" and little or no rubbing. I've gone for 235 in the Cooper Discovery ST because I wanted good road behaviour in...

I believe not as it is a Limited and I think they are 1" lower than the Sport. I think that to the bottom of the door is a good measurement indicator as it gives a true reading against stock. Mine is 18 3/16" to there.

Can anyone tell me how high the stock ride is from the ground to the bottom of the flares or to the sill mid way on the front doors. I'm looking for a reference point with good shocks etc and std tires not how much body lift there is. I've skimmed through 190 search results but not found this...

Hi, In N.Z. there are times when you are not allowed to drive up to the ski fields without chains fitted. I'm looking for tyres and know that 30" * 9.5" are max size on stock wheels (I read the threads). Has anyone fitted chains at that size and any issues? Same question at 235*75 R15. What kind...
