BHPian ![]() | ![]() You broke my heart by asking this ![]() Quote:
You are wrong man. I know you are refering to the old rims of Tavera and they are very much different. I have a set of them with me, if you want I can post a picture of them. Quote:
![]() yes, I like it. But pls be more specific, what from this back, you want me to adopt as you know it is not possible to make the complete replica. I like the sheet, pested in the corners (the black coloured one). I have seen the same kind of aluminum sheet is available in market but I am not sure if the paint on it will long last or not. I will give it a thought in the 2nd phase for sure but I guess it will look good if the Jeep is painted in some other colour. Do not wonder if I call the same Jeep after 5 years "The Gray Machine" ![]() Come on, hella is a must on Jeep as they not only increase the look but they are very usefull also. I do NOT like the way the front bumper is now and I guess I have to give some treatment to this. THOUGHTS AND IDEAS ARE INVITED PLEASE. Quote:

All, I have a question :: This Jeep was originally fitted with 2.1 ltr XDB engine and 5.38 ratio differential (8:43, Tail/Crown). We changed the engine to XD3B (2.5 ltr, 72 BHP) and drove the Jeep with 5.38 ration only. The drive on road was not good and vehicle is demanding for one more gear. Than we changed the rear one 3.54 (13:46) to check how is the drive. It was working fine and the forth gear was like overdrive gear. However as obvious, there were drop in the power in the first gear. I was considering the AC fitting in near future. Note that the original MM550XD comes with the same engine+gear box and with 4.88 (9:44) ratio differential. Finally I got them changed both quite recently to 4.27 (11:47) and enjoying the good ride on all the surfaces & on the road too. I am planing to fit LSD in the rear. Can use the current differential and convert them to LSD, if yes, how; if no, why not. Gurus, need your Gyan. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Correction :: XD3B motor from army MM550XD fitted which is 2.5 ltr and delivers 72 BHP. This is supposed the be the best Mahindra engine in non turbo category. Last edited by DesertKing : 10th December 2008 at 15:46. |

Gurus, need your Gyan.[/quote] The current Differential unit can be replaced with an LSD( Limited Slip Differential).You can use the LSD made by AUBURN GEARS, USA( Part no: 5420111) This is meant for Dana 44 19 spline with final ratio of 3.92& UP. The current hypoid drive can remain the same. Suresh |

| ![]() i meant the space below the wind sheild. jyada hai if hinge is removed, it looks odd. Also yes the front bumper has scope of improvement. Check the once used by Hyd jeeps. double chrome piped ones will look great. ![]() YJ ![]() |

I like the suggested double pipe bumper but I suspect if the chrome one will look nice. I would like to go for either Black (same as body colour) or Silver (same as wheels' colour). Thanks Quote:

| ![]() great work! Can see the attention given to details! I wonder how it must feel to have the luxuries of a car and the extreme capability of a jeep! Kudos to you for getting it done man! |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() We can do a lot many things on a Jeep in cosmetic dept but it is very difficult to give it a nice finish and to have a right balance of the accesories/lights. I always tried to manage it and I guess after so many modification, it is able to retain a clean look. Last edited by DesertKing : 10th December 2008 at 18:21. |
