Nitro Gear and Axle 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK Build
Here is one of our project vehicles we have built in house using some of our parts, and some other great products. Below is what we started with, and some of the modifications we added to this WK ready to hit the trails, and take on the snow we are hoping to have in the hills here shortly!
Engine: 3.0L CRD with TST Box, Swirl Servo Motor Bypass
Transmission: 5 Spd Auto with custom AEV Tuning in TCM
Transfer Case: NV245/Quadradrive II
Rear Axle: Stock is a Chrysler 8.25” with electronic limited slip “ELSD”. The downside to this rear axle is that you’re stuck with the ELSD. No aftermarket traction device will work and the differential cover is a different bolt pattern than any other Chrysler 8.25” rear axle. So we removed this rear axle assembly and swapped it for a Chrysler 8.25” from a non Quadradrive Jeep WK. This allowed us to install ARB Air Locker, Nitro 4.10 gears, & Nitro Extreme Aluminum Differential Cover
Front Axle: Factory ELSD equipped, Nitro 4.10 R&P
Front Suspension: King Coilovers, Rock Krawler lift kit, Synergy Sway Bar Links, Synergy Limit Straps
Rear Suspension: Radflo 2.5” Remote Reservoir Shocks, Custom Zone adjustable rear control arms, Zone Sway Bar Links, TJM Coils
Armor/Body Protection: ARB Bull Bar, Rocky Road Outfitters Rock Sliders, 4X Guard rear shackle mounts and rear skid, Asfir Skid Plates
Winch: TJM Stealth 9K
Wheels: Hutchinson Beadlocks
Tires: Toyo M/T 285/75/17
