Hi guys,
I would like to ask if anyone has any experience of LPG on our beloved Jeeps here in the UK?
I bought my Jeep a few weeks back with an LPG system already fitted. It had a known problem in that it wont run right on LPG at all.
It stutters, the revs go up and down and finally it just cuts out.
I am hoping there is an easier fix that I can try rather than having to spend the £600 - £700 in replacing the entire system. I live in Lancashire.
Cheers everyone.

Would be bad, usually you like a front locker on a dedicated trail machine or a locker that can be released like the ARB. Around town it would be bad on pavement, lots of chatter and tire scrubbing. Frankly no big advantage off-road without the rear. For the price of a locker you could get a good axle and swap it.

If he were asking about welding his gears or installing a spool, I'd agree with you. A front auto-locker will almost always result in some new noises, and it may chirp the tires sometimes when turning depending on the brand, but that's only an issue as an annoyance. And unless he's running dunes, he'll likely see a huge improvement with a front locker, despite the open rear. In fact, locking the front axle is often recommended when you have to choose one axle.

Center Caps for Cragars
So i'm buying 15x7 cragar soft 8 wheels with 4" backspacing.
I cannot find any definitive info on what size center cap I need.
I have narrowed it down to two cragar center caps. One is 3.125" in diameter and the other is 3.3" in diameter.
Anyone know for sure what size I need?
Thanks

Indeed. I was only short in my reply cause the light turned green lol

I am generally driving muddy trails through forests and a diff locker is essential,I was thinking Detroit auto locker for front to start with.
I'm in Europe and its quite hard to find Dana 44 or C8.25 for sale here.
Which model has any of them as standard?

Wheel Cylinder
I bought a replacement wheel cylinder at Auto Zone and I cannot get the brake to thread into the new cylinder. I am able to thread the line into the old one (had to put everything back together to park it at my complex). I checked their website and I have the correct part number...but it wont thread. The cylinder is the same drualast one from the write up and his appeared to work. Im probably going to try a pep boys or advance auto for their cylinder...see if that woks. Any ideas?
