Rims are from ZJ Laredo. 15 ", ET + 25. the width of 7 ". Without any adapters. To come to the front wheels need to cut the thread below the nut, which interferes with the rim when inserting. This has no impact on driving safety. Tires extend beyond the wheel arch a few mm. The front does not rub but they are very close to the wheel arch when turning.
My KJ is equipped with LPG system - alternative fuel - the "insulator" on the fender is the infusion of LPG.
It is popular with us.

I'd be nervous me personally anyway with how close thouse rims are to the drive line. Especially in needing to modify moving drive line parts for the sake of looking good rather than functional. The drive line parts are continuously moving especially when off road I'd be nervous of damaging either wheels or the driveline parts themselves..... my thoughts anyway:rolleyes:

cmohr
07-02-2011, 06:45 AM
Ahhh, Yes, thats the end of the Tie-rod ball joint bolt. Shortening it will have no effect on steering or its strength.

The 15's certainly give a better ride on bumpy rugged roads.

is your 2" lift just springs or struts as well?

MadKaw
16-02-2011, 02:24 PM
The lift is just springs. We went with the King springs as they seem to have a good rep and the cost was OK - $300 for all 4.
Will probly do a clevis lift to get it a bit more level as the front sits a little lower than the back due to the steel bar. Drives a lot better with the new springs too.

you can pick up a set of prado front 6mm shims for the front for about 20 -30 bucks and it will nett you an extra 1/2" of lift

Its just my good ole Rola Vortex rack, had it for years, the deflector is standard on it. The lights are just some cheap 55watt flood lights I got from repco, Yes , all wired into the highbeam with a switch to isolate them as well. There is a post on Lost when I put them on. They are not "big light" they are more just good wide spread to the sides of the vehicle more than anything, great when on dark roads for seeing around corners on tracks, or lighting up the road sides. Just more light spread without a blinding amount of light.

Go the mighty little Manual CRD.

Is that licence plate on the rear bumper just stuck there, or is there an actual lic plate recess in the bumper for it? (IE like the US model that has its lic plate there)

mikecollister
16-03-2011, 06:00 PM
The plate is just screwed in to the Aus bumper - yet to fit light. The old one was rattling around. The metal frame and plastic cover are quite heavy so I was happy to get rid of them. I also like the easy access to my spare.

Silver Surfer
17-03-2011, 03:26 PM
lol reading your post on lost it seems we had exactly the same idea,
I also run my Ht tyres and wheels Monday to Friday and keep the km2's for weekends.
To answer your question no stu did not supply them I imported them myself, they worked
out about AU$250 a wheel, which in hindsight was a little steep. As for the tyres there
245/75/16 and yes the front tyres rub both front and back despite my 2'lift.
Now in the process of doing the pinch welds which is not as easy as the posts on Lost would suggest :confused:

Is it legal to move a number plate onto the rear bumper like that? even with a light fitted?

The number plate/s must be affixed so that the characters are in an upright position parallel to the vehicle’s axles. The characters on the number plate must be legible and visible from a distance of 20 metres at any point within an arc of 15 degrees (from the surface of the number plate) above and 45 degrees to either side of a vehicle that is less than 4.5 tonne GVM

which is why it would have been moved from their to the back of the spare for the Australian market, as the spare would block the visibility to the right.

These tyres are a 31.5 metric measure, just look big because they are in front of the stock tyres in pic. Have had them fitted and they fit well. CRDSTU lift will allow for good travel and no rubbing. He has had these tyres on his KJ before. Imported this combo from the States, but they sent me wrong rims. I was after a beadlock.

YEAH every week something comes up where i need to fork out extra mulla, its frustrating that I cant afford it yet!!!! As I told ya I finished off the HK drag car and threw all my savings at it. Now Im starting to save for your lift and the locker diffs/ARB bar. Do you think I should put one inch spacers on before the wheels so they can stick out a bit for those tight muddy trails in high vic country? Was watching wranglers go through and bouncing off the muddy walls with their tyres but If i tried it I would have ripped off every panel on the side of the jeep!! Spacers for panel protection lol!!

CRDSTU
12-05-2011, 07:04 PM
Spacers cant hurt but are considered illegal :( Then again nearly every Jeep on this forum is considered illegal in some way or another ;p!

Hey if you're considering lockers dont overlook ratio's which all KJ's pretty much need when running 245/75/16 and larger. I stock 4.10's for KJ's now and ARB Lockers to suit :cool:

cmohr
13-05-2011, 07:12 AM
4.10's are they way to go regardless of engine type if you go up to 31's, they bring back your crawl ratio in 4Lo, makes a huge difference.

If you are running big arse muddies, and putting in lockers as well I would say the most ideal thing would be one of these.

13-05-2011, 07:56 AM
Well... I don't know about all KJs Stu. I think the CRDs have the torque to handle larger tyres, especially if your running the Tune.

True Glen to a point but 4.10's increase drivability regardless of tune or no tune, especially when larger boots are put on - hence why the manual's all come out with 4.10's stock.

Cmohr that's a mean bit of gear but man you'd want to be dedicated to pay for that beastie and the associated install :P!

premhk
30-06-2011, 08:02 AM
I will be running 1 inch spacers also to pump them out more and avoid further rubbing. I will only get one inch less travel than if i was to run 245 75's but I prefer the look of 265's. 245's just look too small for me. Next week I will have pics of something else new I ordered from the US! Its a suprise till then!!

premhk
30-06-2011, 08:35 AM
When you see a wrangler with big wheels go through ruts it bounces off the tyres and not the flares or panels like KJ would. To avoid this you need to put spacers on your hubs to push the wheels out further to be first point of contact with the ruts rather than your panels/flares. Plus it means less inner tyre rubbing/contact. Looks tougher too having the wheels wider apart. You need to replace the existing threads with longer ones if you want to do this though.

WKD60
30-06-2011, 08:35 AM

You'l lose some more travel cause your wheels wont be able to go up inside your gaurd. I brought Pro Comp wheels that are suppose to be for the wranglers so they have a bigger offset so my wheels stick out more for like you say bouncing off things. But i had to get the grinder out and cut some guard behind the flare cause it was getting caught and cutting up my tyres. Spacers are a scary thought to me. should have got the rims with the offset that you wanted.

Wont be "road" use though. When im on road spacers come off. Everyone with a KJ and stu's lift is illegal then if we talkin law lol. I love angle grinders, she'll be cut up entirely to gain as much travel as she needs. Im more concerned about down travel then up travel. I wont be climbing rocks like they do in the states lol. Only going through the odd puddle or up a steep hill. Tackle problems if and when they arise, for now its looking good. Im not a keen 4x4'er. Just want that tough fat look kj's can posess.

I agree.

if you are doing a "Build thread" you should post your pics and thoughts there. this thread is simply a Picture thread regardless of whether or not what you are doing will work or not. I must say, I totallly agree with pushing the boundries, and trying what is said cannot be done, thats how we all learn. Sometimes, its from trying what is said will fail, that we learn. So when one brave tries, the supporters of "the red headed child" should maybe not just mock, but, maybe rejoice, in the chance. I'm not casting any shadow on anyone here, if you know anything of me, you will understand, so TRY, DO, what they sat cannot be, Thats, how we made passage, thats how, we truely own our JEEP badge.

No rubbing on the pinch welds, and only slight contact at the front of the front wheel well. They have a nice hum on the road, and so far have handled the corrugations, sandy tracks and water crossings of Arnhem Land with no worries.
I like that the KJ doesnt look like a roller skate any more. My old 235/70/16 Cooper H/T's were just a little small.

What is it a stocking?

It's Pre-filter called a Snorkel Beanie or sock. Unifilter uses an open cell foam which is 3-5% product and 95-97% void space. This open cell structure allows air to be pulled through the foam with 40-60% less effort than conventional paper filters. Sticky filter oil (Filter Fix) which is applied to the filter foam catches all dust particles above 4 or 5 micron. Standard paper filters allow particles of 35 microns or smaller to pass into the motor.

The beanie is installed over the exterior of the snorkel air intake. Washable and able to be re-use several times before replacement is required. Current pricing is around $24-25. There is a cleaning and oiling kit available

Dave I recommend a Thule Roof Pod for ski trips - all the skis, boards, poles etc fit in it with heaps of room for lightweight bulky stuff as well; and it doesn't affect fuel economy the way my old Mont Blanc ski racks used to, and you don't need to tie anything down inside the pod - well it has a couple of internal tie down straps but I rarely use them; and it all locks up nice and secure. The pod has little crawl hooks that extend and lock around the cross rails when you wind the nobs inside - no bolts to fiddle with. Boots still need to go into the back because of the weight issues but it makes a ski trip much easier.

Dave I recommend a Thule Roof Pod, it doesn't affect fuel economy,.



Sorry Glen I've got to disagree with that bit. My experience ( & I have travelled quite a few K's) has proved that without the Pod my consumption improves by approx 4-5ltres per 100km's. Always thought that my increase in consumption on trips was due to the trailer in tow. Then did some travelling without the Pod on and consumption improved, as I said 4-5lt per 100kms. Maybe diesels are different???:rolleyes:

15-07-2011, 09:44 AM
Yeh those Thules were very popular down there.
We have a Toy Hauler style Caravan so theres plenty of room in there for all the gear and we only used the racks for the trip from the van park to the snow.
The dodgy luggage rack did well (it didn't fall apart anyway) and was cheaper than a set of roof racks so we're pretty happy with that, although we noticed economy has increased by about 1.5 L/100 with it for normal driving.
Towing the van we got about 17 L/100 on the way down with strong head winds and about 15 L/100 on the way back..

WKD, great looking KJ. What's the tyre size? 245/70, 245/75? Looks the perfect size for the lift/vehicle.

If by 'exactly' you mean they are a similar colour, then yes, they are 'exactly' the same as renegade wheels. :lol:

Don't see how it changes colour yet? Please explain ?? lol
Many ppl say to me that my stock renegade rims look like those AEV rims all the time? Same spoke shape and colour yes. With raw aluminium outer ring I see what they mean. Its the yellow badge in the middle thats the only thing different really, but then I haven't seen one in person yet. Looks bloody unreal either way!

Well I was tossing up between getting renegade wheels as they are a great looking factory wheel. I love the Argent finish on black. The colour and the number of spokes is where the similarity ends. The spoke design, backspacing, and width are very different. Park two kjs together with the two sets of wheels and they look dramatically different.
They are similar... But FAR from 'exactly' the same.

Yeah I suppose you will never see 2 KJ's with those rims next to eachother to compare hence why ppl say they look like the AEV's I guess?

Sorry, but I find it odd that you say they look exactly the same, when they obviously do not. ;)

premhk
29-07-2011, 05:34 PM
They look so the same!!!! the only thing that gives it away is the yellow badge in the middle and the fact that the AEV spokes taper in narrower toward the outer edge of the rim, oh and the valve location. Should have a poll on this one hehe!!

glend
29-07-2011, 07:43 PM
The AEVs are wider (8 inches), the valve is resessed through a spoke and protected compared to stock, the AEV spokes are more tappered toward the rim, it has the yellow AEV hub, and the offset is very different; and they are very rare in this country and no longer made by AEV (discontinued).

joshywoshy
29-07-2011, 07:58 PM
they dont look the same at all lol AEV's look awesome.

premhk
29-07-2011, 10:25 PM
They're not that much different in looks seriously guys. Same colour, same spokes, same raised lip on spokes, same aluminium outer ring. Valve location and centre cap and rim width doesn't change the look of the actual rim 2D. Other than those things they look the same. As I said, I wasn't the one that has only said this. Quite a few Wrangler owners with these rims have said this as well and friends I have shown. I guess its up to each individual what they think it is. Either way, I love the rim heaps and really think the renegade and AEV rims are in my top 5 rims I would have chosen for my KJ. WKD60 KJ is by far my fav looking KJ on here too!

30-07-2011, 09:31 PM
I prefer a KJ without a bar, standard front end does it for me, just doesn't give enough approach angle thats all.

Thats a top looking KJ.

premhk
30-07-2011, 11:58 PM
yeah i think so too. The problem is that most KJ's with a bar use the ARB deluxe bar and that thing stands out like dogs balls! Mates wrangler has arb bar and only protrudes half as much as a KJ bar does. Looks kinda 'too much' if you know what i mean. Hence I went trail ready from the States. Half as protruding as the ARB.

cmohr
31-07-2011, 10:32 AM
Didn't know TrailTready was still making the bars for a Liberty, Years ago they made front and Rear bars for the KJ Darby had them on his First KJ and they looked great but Most guys on LOST say they discontinued them years ago. You say you have bought one?

premhk
31-07-2011, 10:50 AM
I simply rang them in the STates and they said they have them. I had no idea they stopped making them as the rep never said anything about that. His name was Shaun, give em a call if u want one they seem to have them. You sure your not talking about Sundance bars for the KJ??

glend
31-07-2011, 10:55 AM
Trail Ready don't seem to make them anymore. On their website they do list the XJ bar as still in production as the 'Cherokee', but there is no Liberty (KJ) bar at all in the ones available at this time. The XJ bar won't fit the KJ, well not without substantial modification (like cutting and welding), & the mounting would be entirely different. They do show the old bar on a Liberty in their photo gallery:

http://www.trailready.com/bumpers/images/jeep_vehicles/SWEET-LIBERTY_100.jpg

but they are no longer in their price list. Confused I am.

premhk
31-07-2011, 10:59 AM
I must have got in before they stopped. Like i said it was 5 months ago. The bar is in California at business partners shipping yard. They still make rocker guards for the liberty though. I left a message on their phone to ask them if they have any more. Will post pics of it on when it arrives next 8 weeks or so.

glend
31-07-2011, 11:03 AM
Ok I think this is cleared up now. I found a page on their website that cannot be found through their navigation menu but which can be located through a detailed search. So here it is, apparently it's back in production:

http://trailready.info/bumpers/jeep_liberty.html

Aus Airbag compatible, probably not (never ADR'ed but some won't care.

That rear base bumper looks pretty nice as well.

Now if we could get Stu to bring this stuff in, they are looking for dealers,- I've dropped him a line.

How much was it for the front bar?

premhk
31-07-2011, 11:23 AM
$1,900 US, plus they want another $1000 almost to ship it so I went through a work colleague who has a yard there in California and getting it put in one of the vehicles he brings over so I dont pay shipping.
