1048876 3/8's angle baby! I found 2 length at an old job, and had the machine shop there cut them to the length I needed to slap up to my already rock cleared panels. WAY strong! The angle (more of an L ) extends under the body 3" and goes up the body 4" Nuttin gonna bend them bad boy's! I...

1048966 Bounty hunter... Their not overkill for the stuff I get my self into. Yeah, there's just a little weight there also. However, my T-18 with the granny first doesn't care. I pull my Jeep to all the area's I wheel, because it's geared to low for HWY driving. (top sp of 62.5mph)...

1048967 Ya needs a one of dem dare air horns! I installed a long trumpet air horn off a Kenworth, (a Grover 1707) on my Dodge. Tell ya what, that baby is freaking noisy! This style of horn does require a supply of air though. If you already have on-board air, hook up will be simple. I...

1048970 As mentioned above, chevy 350 are much more common. But if you already have the 302, well, your almost there. How much modification you'll need depends on how big your foot is! If your a "smart wheeler" and keep your foot "out of it" while wheeling you can probably get away with the...

1048972 I simply drilled holes in my jeep rack, found a couple 3" bolts and bolted the gizmo up. Rattles up a storm, but with all the other noises my jeep makes, it's hardly noticable anymore. ( I do bungi down the handle too!)[addsig]

1054903 Is the radiator brand new? If not, maybe it's clogged up some. I had an issue with my cooling system on my 94' Dodge 1500 w/360. Pretty much everything didn't work, fan clutch broke, water pump failed, radiator was 45% clogged!, and the thermostat was stuck partial open. Everything...

1054904 Stay away from the 4cyl. If you get into off-roading/camping, the 6 will have way more power to haul gear with. [addsig]

1054905 63 MPH max, at 2800 max RPM. My jeep is geared for grunt, Motor is capable of 3800RPM (or more) but the granny box and 4:10's slow it way down. Gonna swap out the 4:10's for 3:73's. (get a little hwy speed back) [addsig]

1054908 Sorry, I don't know what a "gerotor pump" is. :-? Never heard of one. Can't offer an explanation for it. Driveshafts? From the Grand Cherokee? If you want to use the driveshafts from the Grand on a CJ-5, no they won't work, Different frames, will have different lengths...

1054911 You can try replacing the regulator I don't think the regulator is very expensive. Another thing to check is the ground. Make sure it's connected solidly. Clean up the battery connections, both on the battery and the clamps. The battery posts corrode over time, and the connection...

1055058 That's one beefy transmission! Low first gear, (granny low!) should bolt right up. I think the difference between it and the SM420, besides age, is the 1st gear in the 465 is syncro'd. You should have no problems with it. Go for it! [addsig]

1055061 Are you mechanically inclined? Changing the T/C oil is like changing the engin oil. Find the drain plug, usually the lowest sopt on the t/c, you may have to do something to keep the oil from hitting the skid plate and running wild. (don't know much about how the underbelly looks on...

1055065 Why use the stock header? Rip that puppy out and put a Borla header in there! Oh wait a minute, you mentioned fairly inexpensive. Well, Forget that idea. [addsig]

1055604 For a 4 cyl, the electric fan alone with out the shroud may be ok. If you had the 6er, I'd say use the electric as a secondary. The fan shroud is an integral part of the cooling system. It's needed to force the fan to pull fresh cool air from in front of the radiator thru the...

1055608 Toss that T-176! The 350 with do very bad things to it! Find a T-18, or NP435,(ford applications)SM 420 should bolt right up a 350, with a 7:1 first gear! I had a T176, and was shocked at how tiny the thing was! It weighed like 40lbs when empty!. T-18, is a beast compared to it...
