ian cj10

Hi Moses im expecting the 4.6 will be a big improvement & possibly better fuel economy as ill be using a much better carby i think that the reason theyre not building with weld & machining is to reduce heat ive had work done by them on my bobcat & excavator without any problems so i trust they know what theyre doing at least they should its there job to know these things will post in xj forum cheers ian

Hi Moses i cleaned up the shaft from the steering box today & it looked worse after cleaning it up with fine paper so i took it to a local engineering workshop theyll build it up with bronze then remachine it even though bronze will be softer i imagine it will still last a long time cheers ian

Looking for more information on the Saginaw steering gear issue? The discussion on the Saginaw steering gear seal leak and related issues continues as a new topic at: Hi Moses ive had a seal blow out in the steering box i have no idea why but ill give it all a good clean & polish the shaft & replace the seals while i was at it i got carried away & pulled the engine out to put the 4.6 stroker ive had sitting in the corner of the shed in it so i took some pics of the empty engine bay to show you notice that the front 1/2 of the chasis is boxed back to the back end of the gear box i bought an xj the other day it was only $1000 & came with a dead 1 for parts but it gets hot on the beach but is ok on the road cheers ian

Hi Moses i took a few pics of the chassis at the rear end not the best photos but im not expecting it to go up on a hoist for a while maybe when it gets its next set of tyres ill get some good underside pics cheers ian

Hi Moses steering box all back together & working well so ill get it out of the shed tomorrow ill try to get some pics of the brakes & chassis if i get time then ive got to get it packed up for a weeks holiday it'll be a 3000+ kilometer round trip hauling a whole camp site on its back should be a good work out for the old girl weve been over it changed gearbox & transfer fluids checked diff oils & done the engine oil & filters & replaced the belts & radiator cap so i'm hoping for a trouble free run up & back cheers ian

Hi Moses this is the tare weight (vehicle) ,aggregate weight (vehicle plus payload) & combined weight (vehicle plus payload plus towed load) in kilograms give an idea of the vehicles capabilities cheers ian

this is a cool mod a cj7 grill added to the cj10 good to know they fit cheers ian

Hi Moses there is no cat on the exhaust ill try to check the axle flange later this week & get some pics of it for you regarding the aircraft tugs i have read that they actually have a dana 70 in the rear & no front diff there transfer case has no high range either only what ive read on the net so i cant confirm it personally cheers ian

Hi Moses a few more pics the ignition system & carb also the disc on the transfer case & the swivel hub ill take pics of the brake when i next pull the wheels off the rear diff is 6 stud & is lsd brake are front disc rear drum set up i havent personally weighed it but does have a tare weight of 1920 kg on the side as this was required by law at one time but now the cops have computers in there cars its no longer required not much in the way of emission control on the old girl ignition is as you said as with the carb cheers ian

the lowest vin number car ive ever had cheers ian

Hi Moses thanks for the reply i had found that site already along with the few other bits of info but nobody seems to know anything about parts interchange for this model add to that no parts suppliers even know the cj10 exists even here in aus where most of them ended up the bed or tray as we call it from what i have been able to figure out was fitted here in aus but nearly all examples ive seen have this exact same tray and so i asume they were all fitted in the same factory that ive heard was in queensland where assembly work was done i shall endevour to get more pics soon i know my rear diff is a dana 60 front is a dana 44 gearbox has been swapped out for a t5 tranfer case i asume is the original np208 i am currently rebuilding the steering box but can not get the correct bearing its an encapsulated needle roller with a flare at one end but i have managed to get one the same dimensions but without the flared end so ill have to do a little fabrication to make sure the bearing seats in the correct possition ill post pics of it when i get it from the bearing shop cheers ian

H i guy new here as you would have guessed ive had my cj10 for about 6 months or so & finding info on them is nearly impossible i was hoping someone here might know a few things about them it seems to be a fusion of a cj with an fsj cheers ian
