Suspension

The suspension is normally one of the first things to be addressed when starting with a stock Jeep, as the suspension set-up will in some ways determine the maximum size tyres you can run on the rig. Also how you are planning to use your Jeep to will reflect what your needs require. If you start with the right suspension you can add to what you have if at a later date you wish to upgrade. At FTE 4x4 over the years we have run a few different styles of suspension set-ups on our rigs (Wrangler TJ’s & JKU, Cherokee XJ), which can helps us explain the pro’s and cons of each. We can supply any make of suspension but we are the UK dealer for Teraflex and Rubicon Express. But don’t think this makes us bias to these  brands only, if we think something will work better for your particular set-up we will recommend it.

Drive Line & Axles

These   are   often   items   that   can   be   overlooked   as   they   are   hidden   out o     f       sight   but   are   very   important   to   the   correct   running   of   the   Jeep. Running   the   right   ratio   ring   &   pinion   for   the   tyre   size   the   rig   is using    can    make    a    vast    difference    in    the    performance    and drivability.   Fitting   the   right   differential   can   make   a   big   difference on   how   well   your   Jeep   will   preform   off-road.   Over   the   years   we have   fitted   many   different   types   of   traction   aids   in   axles,   from   Limited Slip   Diffs   (LSD)   to   full   manually   selectable   lockers   such   as   ARB   or   the Eaton    Electro    Locker.    Each    one    has    its    advantages    and    disadvantages depending   on   the   type   and   style   of   driving.   Give   us   a   call   and   have   a   chat   so   we   can   point   you   in the right direction. There   are   many   other   upgrades   available   for   axles   these   include   axle   shafts,   hubs,   axle   tube   seals, U-joints to name but a few. Another   area   that   can   be   upgraded   is   the   transfer   box,   this   includes   short   shaft   conversion   also known   as   SYE   (Slip   Yoke   Eliminator),   internal   upgrades   such   as   2Low   which   gives   you   the   option   on rear wheel low only (NP231).

Bumpers, Fenders, Armour, Skid Plates & Winches

One   of   the   main   items   that   transforms   the   look   of   the   Jeep   is   the bumpers   and   in   the   case   of   the   Wrangler   fender   flares   as   well. Basically   we   can   get   any   bumper   that   is   manufactured   we   do   not keep   stock   as   everyone’s   tastes   are   different.   The   same   goes   for fender   flares   if   you   take   a   look   at   the   Gallery    pages   you   will   see what   I   mean.   An   item   that   is   often   over   looked   are   skid   plates   that help   protect   the   underside   of   the   Jeep   and   rock   rails   that   protect   the   body.   Winches   are   a   great   add   to a Jeep but not a necessity good recovery points are always a good add.

Wheels & Tyres

Wheels   &   tyres   have   a   massive   impact   on   the   look   of   the   Jeep   and   the ride.   Depending   on   the   use   you   are   going   to   put   your   Jeep   to   will   help determine   the   wheel/tyre   combination.   Again   take   a   look   at   the   Gallery   this   will   give   an   idea.   Again   we   do   not   hold   stock   of   wheels   as   if   we   had a    1000    in    stock    you    will    most    probably    want    the    1001!    With    the suppliers   we   use   in   the   US   we   can   get   almost   any   wheel   that   will   fit   a Jeep.   Tyres   to   be   honest   can   be   a   pain   at   present   as   to   legally   run   tyres on   the   road   in   the   UK   &   Europe   they   have   to   be   ‘E’   Marked   which   really limits    the    tyre    choice    we    have    in    the    UK.    Things    are    changing    and hopefully this will open up the tyres available to us in the UK.

If   we   listed   everything   we   can   do   this   page   would   be   expectationally   long,   over   the   years   we   have   built Jeeps   and   nothing   but   Jeeps.   When   you   take   a   look   at   the   “What   We   Sell”    page,   if   we   can   supply   it   we can   fit.   We   can   build   custom   wiring   looms,   and   have   an   engineering   shop   so   one-off’s   are   not   a problem.   Over   the   years   we   have   gain   many   professionals   in   certain   aspects   of   builds   these   include   a excellent   body-shop   for   all   our   paint   requirements   and   a   powder   coaters   that   is   that   does   everything   in house   from   the   blasting   to   the   finish.   If   it   is   an   overland   rig   you   are   looking   to   build   we   have   two suppliers of roof racks so we can cover most bases.
