Well Dupa I am getting 14 liters / 100 Kilometers for mountain driving, so 11 to 14.5 could be right, although it does seem a bit low.
For ya MPGers that's 16.6 (14.5) to 21.8 (11) ;)
ah, I understand.
Well working it backwards, 55 and 70, with 35'' rubber, OD and 4.88:1 final would be between 2 and 2.5 K rpm, with 4.5:1 it would be 1.8 to 2.3k, hmmm :confused:
I've never driven an FJ with a big V8, so is that high? :o
And if I keep the Ranger OD (83:1 & 152:1) I also could cruise HW at a decent clip without over-reving the v8 ... road trip! :rolleyes:
Anyway, if 192:1 is so sick ;) and loosing it is good
then why not go to a 4.5:1 (75:1, 95:1, 135:1 & 172:1) or 4:1 (66:1, 84:1, 120:1 & 153:1) final ratio...
mine came with a 3 speed ... I think ... it's been a while since it was replaced :flipoff2:
Now where is that paperwork ... it's a 73 .... I think ... hmmm .... It does not matter I dont have the box anymore!!
Well it would be primarely a off road rig.
The street driving would mostly be going to and fro the dirt.
Having driven the 420, I know it not the speediest of shifters, by far.
I did consider changing it (hell everything else is new), what would you use instead?
I have decided on the portal-tek axles for my FJ40, but not on the replacement of my T/C. With the new axles I obviously could go with an Orion or an Atlas.
I'm not asking for much:rolleyes:, I want something for rock crawling, mudding, desert running and street use :eek:;p
Any opinion on best...
Thanks
Thanks y'all, with your help I have also come to the conclusion that the Portal-tek is probably the best set-up, especially in the long run. OK it is expensive but I think I wrote something about no compromise in a previous post :rolleyes:
It has taken me a long time to put together...
Well here's how far I've gotten.
Even thought the Mog portals, rebuilt and cut to 61" cost "only" 5790.- a set with disk brakes, they will not clear my oil pan without lift and they require new drive shafts. So exit Mogs:frown:.
I allready have an Ranger O/D (1500.-) and the coresponding drive...
...:idea:
Just had a thought (it happens :eek:):
If I use custom portal-teks, I can keep my SM420 and T/C
Ha! I could even decide to get Atlas case (sh!t more money :frown:). With "tall" gearing in the axle I'd have nice HW speed at low rpm yet, especially with the new 4sp (sh!t even more...
Thanks for piping in.:bounce2:
Your web pages mention a FJ40 kit, yet the quote I have is for two custom axles :confused:, I had hoped for a standard (ie. cheaper :rolleyes:) kit.
As you probably noticed I am torn between getting your expensive :eek: custom exactly what want axels :D or some...
