TJM/ARB bumpers & 4wd Conversion of GU Patrol

[ARB]

as long as you dont use 4wd, even if you dont have hubs there will be no binding on high traction surfaces. open diffs naman siguro ang stock ng patrol.

shifter and driveshaft na lang ang bilhin mo.

[OTEP]

Yup open diffs ang Patrol sa harap.

meron ba kayong alam na site about 4wd systems, yung me mga illustrations sana about diffs, locks, hubs, binding, etc.?

[Ungas]

4WD how it works?

Locking hubs

Almost same as the first mentioned site but has more options click here!

Eto pa pahabol:

Here is how a differential looks like inside

Here is why part time 4WD should not be used on pavement

[OTEP]

Yung sa local market open diff. Kasi kung LSD may warning yan sa door jamb or sunvisor. And wala naman siyang difflock switch. So open siya. Hehehe.

Shet, ang tindi mag-research ni Ungas.

from 4x4abc.com:

The slowing effect caused by front wheels stresses all components between wheels and the transmission. It causes mechanical components to bind instead of moving freely - this situation is called "axle binding" ,"driveline binding" or "driveline wind up". First indicators while driving is a hard steering feel and the vehicle displaying jerky movement. Shifting back to 2WD will become impossible (gears and levers are extremely forced together). Continued 4WD use on dry surfaces will cause the weakest links to break (U-Joints, axles, differential gears, transfer case gears, drive shafts).

what to do in this case?

[OTEP]

Drive in reverse then slowly straighten out steering wheel. Madalas ako nagaganyan nung nag-aaral pa ko gumamit ng 4wd. hehehe.
