| Distinguished - BHPian   | The DOG: Is this the Ultimate CJ3B build? ICON 4X4 is founded by Jonathan Ward and his work on the CJ3B is astonishing. Oh by the way, Jonathan has fondly named it THE DOG !!    This build starts with a completely in-house-designed mandrel bent steel frame The suspension consists of four two-inch Fox Racing struts with remote nitrogen reservoirs. The rear end is a four-way multi-link while the front consists of a panhard-type linkage, with bushingless Johnny Joints holding the control arms in place. All of this adds up to an almost unbelievable 24.5-inches of suspension travel per wheel, front and back. For comparison's sake. The axles are Dana 44s. Powering the CJ3B is a General Motors EcoTec 2.4-liter straight-four that develops 210 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. with a weight of only 2,900 pounds the performance is peppy, easily getting up to and maintaining freeway speeds. the 4 cyl mill is quite well suited to crawling along a trail at three miles per hour. All that suspension travel combined with 33-inch tires, 4:10.1 axles, 2.72:1 low range gears and two locking differentials (you can lock just the rear or both with the flip of a switch) means the CJ3B can almost go anywhere. It boasts of 45-degree approach and departure angles !!     |

 That's 87.5 BHP per liter. Which engine is this, I'd love to know. | |

| In N.m 195 lbs-ft. converts to 264.384499916 N-m. of Torque. Not bad at all  How does this compare to the Hurricane? If I'm not mistaken, the Hurricane had 75 odd bhp. Any idea about the torque figures? Last edited by '72 Bullet : 29th March 2010 at 15:10. |
