Source for RHD parts and kits?

[Leldredge57]

My wife and I run a small resort in the Caribbean, and we recently got an old 2002 right-hand drive Jeep Wrangler TJ to use while we're here. Since traffic flows on the left, the RHD setup is ideal. I'm new to this but excited to turn it into a great daily driver, so I'm looking for reliable sources for parts.

For steering linkage I use Crown/RT Offroad HD linkage and track bar.
For steering stabiliser the standard size like Monroe do should be used as HD stabilsers will get dented by the linkage.
I've had a nissens rad in my 97 for 13 years and over 100k miles. Nissens are an OEM manufacturer so the quality is top notch.
HVAC system is an exact mirror of the early LHD version so if you ever need a blower motor it might not be easy to find.
Pretty much everything apart from steering linkage, steering gear, track bars, rad and HVAC unit is the same as LHD.

How do you like the RT off-road HD steering? That’s part number RT210006 correct?
I’m thinking about it for 4” lift on 35s

Just answered in the other thread, been on possibly up to ten years at 8k a year with 33" tyres.

Part number is just two zeros I think but otherwise correct.

Edit. My lift is 4".

They only do over the knuckle kits which I’d rather not. The double sheer RHD track bar does look sweet tho

One thing to note, I find with lifted suspension, the TRE on the tie rod can catch the axle slightly. I don't know if similar happens on LHD vehicles.

What I do with any new drag link is to use the press at work to increase the bend in the bar slightly. This moves the TRE away from the bracket it catches to prevent interference.

Do you by chance have any pictures? I am having the same problem also having a problem where the pitman arm is hitting the bottom of the radiator at the drain spout. I have having a hard time finding answers or parts for this rhd jeep.

Looks like Jeepey (UK supplier) won’t do international shipping but you are welcome to use a freight forwarder - see here

That might be your only source for e.g. RHD headlight components

I've made this pic that will help explain the extra bend I put into the drag link.

Top part of the pic shows where I measure the bar when it's lying on a workbench.

I then turn it the other way up and support it a few inches either side of the bend in the press at work.

I press the bar where the bend is to make the bend increase. When measuring the track bar as in the first pic I bend them so the bend sits maybe 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch more than the first measurement. That enough to stop the TRE on the tie rod hitting the head of the bolt on the steering stabiliser.

As for the pitman arm hitting the radiator, I'm guessing you either have a pitman arm that is too shallow or a LHD radiator has been fitted, though I'm not sure a LHD rad would fit with the steering gear there. Pics of what you have would help.

Here's a crop from an old photo. It's too cold dark and snowy to get fresh pics right now.
