Nitro Gear and Axle 07 CRD WK Build

[Just Differentials]

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
