As my is Army spec it came with free wheeling
FWH hubs in the front. Also the link that Dan sent says that it is only at a certain pressure that the LSD's engage.
So if I get LSD's in the front, under normal driving I would be driving with the FWH on the 'FREE' position. What I want to ask is that when off-roading I would have to engage the FWH to the lock position and then when making turns etc what are the changes the front LSD's causing harm to the front axels??

Tell me about it? The anxiety is killing man.
Good that I have a 4x4 now and I have very able and experienced gurus on T-Bhp & NIOC to guide me on my path to making it as a good off-roader.

The jeeps lookin awesome in the pics Harjeev.
Cheers to an awesome job being done.
Work on my Jeep has started today in Jaipur. lol |
Thanks Randeep. Its your thread that started the bug in me. It was like a wake up call. I always wanted to get a 4x4 and at somepoint in time was thinking of geting it installed in my Safari. But I remember reading somewhere on the forum that its not reliable and costs much more than this entire project is going to cost. But the main factor was you cant compare a Jeep to any SUV man! Jeep is a Jeep. I thing that his is what
seperates the Men from the boys.
The pics of the fabricated fenders and springs are of some other jeep. not mine. The body work on my jeep has not even started as yet. But I might get the leaf suspension converted to the spring suspension, if it dosent cost a lot.
The work is being done in Greater Noida. My cousins workshop is there. Do let me know if you would like to visit.

Please put maximum photos to the thread as that will be the main attraction for all such projects. I am glued. Best of luck to get the best results out of your project ! |
I think that it is not North or South India. I think that the grass always appears to be greener on the other side.
When I was on my search to buy a 4x4 I used to constantly think, man these guys from southern states are so lucky. Had I been there, I could have snapped a 4x4 in a minute. They seem to everywhere. But I think that it’s not like that and we have to make do with the kind of resources that are available to us. But this you can’t deny this fact, that the Jeep culture is more prominent in southern states that it’s there in the northern India.

You’ve read my mind. As of now I plan to keep the jeep as stock as possible. I don’t plan to change anything like the color nor any body modifications. I just want to make the Jeep mechanically perfect. That’s why I am getting all mechanical parts overhauled. i.e engine, transmission (gearbox, differentials etc), brakes, etc. After all this is complete and owning the jeep for some period of time, it is only then I would even start to think on any kind of cosmetic changes.
