New toy
Blue72:
all cool stuff.
Mines fitted with the HO version too !
Looking at that package I mentioned earlier pretty much contains all the bits aside form protection Im after.
Im fitting the Coopers but the AT's not the STT's and going 245 70 instead of the standrad 235/65's
the running boards will get sold( there btrand new fitted by previous owner!) and replacing with the sliders too.
Not going too extreme with this, just to a good g laning standard and retaining its "noramility" at the same time!
All good fun!

Unusual to have the “High Output” (HO) version in a Ltd, must have been a special order, :shock: as only fitted to the Overland model, nice though with 255bhp and 314lb ft of torqe, :dance: (Std V8 220bhp & 291lb ft) only downside is the price of the special spark plugs! :roll:
Only thing with the lift and bigger and much heavier STT’s is they blunt the performance knock the mpg by about 3/4mpg! And the steering is prone to pull with the road camber :doh:
All good V8 fun :lol:

yep I know!
Apparently it came into being in 2002 but WAS fitted to some 2001 Ltds as a top end option prior to them fitting it in the overland.
I checked the chassis number out with Jeep uk and they confirmed this so feel quite lucky as I didntg know there was a HO version.
I saw the badge , then the lettering on the throttle housing and got it confirmed!
I think with the lift, just AT's and some protection, i should keep a level of integrity but ive gone from 375 to a tank on a long run to having fun and doing half a tank in 50 miles LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one :P look forward to seeing it when you have had it all done, will have to go on a "Mud Club" run out :D and nice to see the mpg down to my level :lol: :lol:

Very interesting stuff :thumbup:
So the Overland has rock rails & underbody protection as standard ? I didn't know that ! What does the u/p consist of ?
You know Popoff I might just wait 'til you sell yours & buy that off you rather than spending my money on doing mine !! :wink:
It's interesting hearing what people do to their Jeeps & what the results are !! :clap:
Does the steering pull much with the road camber ? Mine does that just a bit with standard suspension & tyres :rolleyes:
And in hindsight, would you have gone with a softer shock on the rear ?
Like Andy - I want to retain the integrity of my Jeep as a road cruiser, but capable enough to see me on green lanes & the odd p & p :smiley:
