im having trouble on the internet tying to source parts mainly part number 4473430 or XJ housing front axle w/ rhd can someone point me in the right direction? ebay has been no help. just lift kits.

 

What are you looking for? Drag link or track bar?

 

whole set up if i can. but mainly the front axle that everything mounts to.

 

Why do you need this?

 

my jeep doesnt go off road, and as my buddy put it: its just dead weight hurting my gas economy. not going to do propane swap as. id rather spend the money elsewhere.

 

It's already a 2wd and the thing is aerodynamic as a brick, or a billboard. You're not going to gain much of anything on mileage.

 

Doing the swap will maybe give you 1 mpg more not worth the trouble and money.The money would be better spend buying a cheap beater car that is easy on gas.

 

Help me out. What does he want to do? It's already a 2wd. It's not going to get much lighter.

 

to cut a long story short its 4wd, that i want to turn it into 2wd.
and if i ask for advice i get hammered for it.

 

In that case, get a 2wd transmission and front beam. Less rotating mass. It's a bolt in swap. Steering and suspension. You get hammered for asking questions?

 

I'm just gonna say your idea is a stupid one. You can buy a lot of gasoline for the cost of the parts required to downgrade your XJ. I don't mean to hammer on you, but it really is a dumb thing to do.

 

Look at where he is, then figure out how rare his Jeep is there.

 

Currie sells the 2wd i beam http://www.currieenterprises.com/ces...6.aspx?id=4172 1300 bucks plus shipping from usa to new zealand would be murder.For the same money you can buy another car.

 

this is the exact same thing i was talking about.
yes 2wd jeep ARE rare in my part of the world. it will be 1 of 1. yes that rare.
i know there is a lot of work for little gain, but i didnt say i was going to keep it completely standard either.

i want my jeep to be unique and throwing a lift kit on and some big mud tyres is what everybody does... i d rather be going down the roads and have people say ive never seen someone do that with a jeep before.

 

If you really want a 2WD Jeep then that's your choice, but if you want to spend money now to save fuel costs in the future then an LPG conversion is the way to go.
