  1. Disabling Smart Alternator

    Thank guys. Did a bit of research on Jscan but couldn't find anything specific to my needs. Also looked through your post WranglerMan. Big write up. Understand that this item may be specific to the computer settings. Last night I disconnected the shunt plug and left it unplugged. Took it for a...
  2. Disabling Smart Alternator

    Just wondering if anyone has investigated or tried to disable the way the alternator works on the Jl Wrangler? I have put a Lithium battery in as the start battery. This battery has a management system on it that allows me to connect to an app on my phone, therefore I can watch how the battery...
  3. What Suspension setups are people running in Australia?

    No. I ran a -40 offset on my Patrol for 13 years without an issue. See what occurs with this setup.
  4. 2.2 diesel Catch Can

    I did take the cover off but there was not much that I could notice under there. Maybe I am going blind. The photo posted on the previous page does not relate to our engine. That hose is just not there. I am looking at the intake pre turbo and can't see the breather in there. Any ideas?
  5. Start test with dead AUX battery!

    SwissSteph We are still waiting on the Lithium battery to turn up. When it does, I will post up some photos of the install. For the easy modification I mentioned above, find the fuse panel that is highlighted below. Once opened, look at the cover to see the section that is highlighted in...
  6. What Suspension setups are people running in Australia?

    Just a few comments on the engineering side from my experience. I have a Patrol, wife Rubicon. Patrol has portal axles. This was engineered by Marks when they completed the kit. Once the engineering process is complete, you need to get a Blue slip completed by an authorized Blue slip mechanic...
  7. Start test with dead AUX battery!

    So stuffed around with this yesterday. The solution in the end is quite simple and involved no wiring. Firstly, the 2 batteries supplied by Jeep are disgustingly heavy. What are they thinking in this day and age. Car manufacturers should be installing Lithiums into these cars from day dot...
  8. Start test with dead AUX battery!

    Thanks Steph. I did read some articles that were posted on this. Just trying to wholly wrap my head around this. From what I have read, the second battery is there only for the ESS system. If this is the case, then linking it with the Lithium would not be an issue, considering that the...
  9. Start test with dead AUX battery!

    So, have been trying to research how these batteries are configured. Lots of information that is very confusing. Are the 2 batteries paralleled together? Main reason for my interest in this is I am looking to take out the main battery to put in a 100ah Lithium. I would use this to power...
  10. 2.2 diesel Catch Can

    Just bringing this back up. Did anyone ever get this sorted? Looking to try something here but I can't see the crankcase breather for the life of me. If you look at SwissSteph's photo above, where would the crankcase breather be. It doesn't appear to have the hose coming back into the top like...
  11. What Suspension setups are people running in Australia?

    We have completed this on the wife's Rubicon. Took some messing around as the tolerances are so close when fully articulating and turning the steering wheel. Definantly something to take your time with if you are going down this path. Well worth it though as now the dampener is tucked up high...
  12. Service 4WD Message

    We are having the same issue with ours. We will be going through the items noted above, pulling connectors and checking ends, fuses etc.. What is the connector behind the glove box that has been mentioned here? Wondering what I am looking for when I look up there.
  13. 2.2L DIESEL Upgrading Air Intake, Exhaust System...etc

    I have 2 4wd's. A Nissan Patrol & the 2.2 Rubicon. I have done some investigation into an Interchiller. I will be trialing this on the Patrol & if good, will be investigating an installation into the Rubicon. The way I see it, air flow whilst crawling along tracks is pretty minimal. On a 30+...
  14. 4x4 Engaging Issues

    My Rubicon seems to be having consistent issues with 4wd engagement? The first time we took it offroad, 4 low didn't engage. Then the 4wd service light came on and stayed on the entire time. We turned the car off then back on and it engaged low range. We took it to the dealer where they said...
  15. DAF Fuel Tank 2.2l

    Multihull Thank for your thoughts. I was planning on installing a 2.5 lift and 35's as well, just really concerned over how far it hangs down. I am going to look into removing the rear muffler and locating the tank into the position where the useless under floor storage is locate dnow. This...
  16. Genesis dual battery

    WranglerMan, I am not trying to disparage anyone from purchasing any type of system, just stating that there are other options out there that can be a far superior system, if you are willing to put the time into it. I am glad that you have a system that works for you. I do spend plenty of time...
  17. Genesis dual battery

    Im sorry that you feel offended by my post, but 20 years ago I had a similar system on my Nissan Patrol. This kit is a simple switching solenoid kit with a link button to join the batteries together. There does not seem to be any smarts in it. I coul not see a solar input into it either, but...
  18. DAF Fuel Tank 2.2l

    Hi Has anyone run into problems with the rear tank for the DAF and hitting it off road? My wife's JL is only a couple of months old and only taken it off road once and I am really concerned at the location of this. Has anyone completed a modification on a custom relocation for this? Is there...
  19. Genesis dual battery

    @SwissSteph Not sure how you went with this, but I wouldn't use the Genesis system. In Aus, this system is outdated & old. There are far better options to run your dual battery steup. I am just about to install a setup in my wifes Jl. I will be using a combination of the Redarc BCDC 25amp...
