Update :
after i brought the car back to 7p on Saturday, i spent the whole day with them...
And while they're fixing all the open issues, i had a lot of time chattering and thinking about what to do
and at what costs.
For the Nissan Axles - i don't know which Axles from which model Hisham is referring to ...
he only told me about a monstertruck on 55'' tires he built and some drag racing cars using the same rear
axles and so on.
Since i didn't had internet in his garage, i could not proof or search by myself.
But what is true is, that costwise it can't be a good decision to change the front to nissan, because then
i'd to change too much again (passenger side drop) ...
It is a bit tempting, because the nissan transfer case is smaller and HD - so this would open the possibility to
move the engine a bit to the rear. It's fitment is a bit tight now...
So the plan for now:
Get a D44 Front & enforce it properly, enforce the rear afterwards (chromoly axle shafts, 35 spline, 4,56 R & P both)
Hisham is searching all around where to find one.
For the rest :
The timing belt cut the cai on the downside (we didn't saw this that evening ... that was why the air sensor was getting wrong data ... and the engine wasn't starting like it should)
Got a new Cai and a bigger filter now as well (twice the size
) .
The engine oil level measurement thingy is also relocated so i don't need to jump above the engine bay and use both hands and a lot of power to check the oil level
..
I got a new front driveshaft - that way all the crazy noise disappeared in 2wd & 4wd ...
The gearbox is now also shifting nice, even after restart and didn't go into limb mode (engine and gearbox communicate - so it was because of the CAI problem) ...
4wd is working without any problems...
The Tachometer signal emulator is ordered from Novak, now i need to find out about the pinout and protocol of the Gauge Cluster and Chryslers Can bus ... to solve the remaining like engine light, battery, alternator and so on (looks a bit like a christmas tree a lot of blinking
)
Sad thing only ... after coming back to dubai and stopping at a friends place to have a chat, the car refused to start and the starter only got hot and gave a "clack" noise ... and doesn't start cranking ...
So i'll dismantle it afterworks in dubai somewhere and check it - maybe replace it.
So far (except for the not-starting) - it's really getting there.
Fuel consumption is still a bit too much ( around 35 liters / 100km
) but i think for this there's something wrong - maybe too big injectors...
At least the car should be able to drive to Liwa without having to stop for a refill
... 
, but there is a way :
