Flew to Brisbane today to pickup the unregistered TJ I purchased last week. Qld make it quite easy for Unregistered Vehicle Permits. Do not even need a RWC you just have to state it is road worthy. (And pay them $$$$).
Owner states it has 2" King spring lift. It does not look like much of a lift though... is there a way to measure lift when fitted ???. It also has new 235/75/15's AT tyres. Not much bigger than standard but it still felt like it was geared to tall. Speedo is almost spot on with GPS. Would not need much more rolling diameter to make 5th gear useless.
It has 377Ks on the clock but drove the 600 klms smoothly without a problem. Except wind noise from the soft top.....stopped at Warwick and did some re fitting which helped but it is leaking air where it meets top of windscreen. No drive line vibrations and the manual shifts nice up and down the box with no synchro noises. Seller has replaced rear LSD and thinks it might have had engine and trans rebuilt by previous owner but has no documentation to back it up. It is nice and tidy with a few options I more than likely would have added. Bullbar, winch, snorkel, towbar, UHF and conservative lift (to be confirmed).
I was actually after a TJ with a blown engine as I am planning a "Barra" I6 transplant. Novak NV3550 to Ford kit is on the way from USA
and the FGII engine is already in the shed
