Guys just came from the garage. The seat work is going on. Have selected a Creamish coloured rexine. Thought that military green would look good but on site, it looked ugh!!
I gave him a computer printout of the
4 Wheel Drive stencil that Willy's had on their tail gate.
It never came on this model but since it lookd the part,i have asked him to get a radium sticker made, in black rather than have it painted.
In that case if i dont approve, i dont have to get stuck with it. I can just peel it off.
The new carb is running like a dream, and the jeep is almost silent. I feel i can hear a slight tappet click sometimes hence
i would like to know what should be the ideal tappet clearance for both the inlet and the exhaust valves. Anything else i should look out for and know mechanically, before i get it out of the garage.

Thanks Behram Bhai, i will definitely consider this when i am putting the tyres. Actually im not going to be running the jeep on high speeds anyways and the NDMS look real good. Besides, ive been told that Ceat make an NDMS with treads in the contact patch, which is better than plain NDMS tyres. In that way i have better road grip than normal NDMS as well as the looks of an NDMS. What say?

A GOOD 8500 lbs load rating winch should cost ~45K upwards
EDIT: For tyres, go for 215/15 tyres on Gypsy Rims. I would say go for BFG A/T. the pattern will look killer on your jeep :-) |
Dont know about winches at all. I will go there get details, post here and then on the advice received, go for it. Anyways, if its gonna cost 45K ish, ill pass, would not want to spend that much on something i might nit be using so frequently. The 20k is an approximate price. He had winches which are in the range of 75K also, so i dont really know what the winch capacity is. Also he s a direct importer so the middleman commission would be cut off.

Electric winch for 20K??? Damn cheap! How much is the tonnage? It should be atleast 8000pounds.
