    Muffler problem... or something like that....

    1055615 It's a little hard for us to answere with the little bit of info you supplied. Can exhaust items be hurt from being stuck? Sure they can, if they were what caused the jeep to get stuck. (hanging up on branches, rocks etc...) Can snow affect exhaust? probably not. Finding a leak in...

    Next 'mod' in the works?

    1055819 After 20+ years of adding this and that, I'm almost finished! (yeah right!) I need 3:73 gears, the 4:10's work great off-road, but suck on the hwy. A spring over kit, would be nice also. D44 front axle with an ARB Thats it. Jeeps got everything else. edited by: jprtroy, Feb...

    Chevy 350 vs Straight 6

    1056103 The 6cyl is not a P.O.S.! Plain and simple. Sure it's had it moments, but I positive there are 350's that have had their monemts as well! Fuel injected 6's are great off road motors, producing gobbs od low end torque! Where and when it's needed! off-road! Yeah, the 350 will...

    Rubicon

    1056104 The "Rubicon" will be a great first 4x4 or you. You wont have to do anything to it! I believe it comes stock with the air lockers front & rear, 4:10 gears, 31" tires, it's set up already! All you'd need to add would be a winch bumper and winch! Maybe some extra off-road lights...

    Just wanted to Introduce myself....

    1056882 Yep, welcome to our little insane world of jeepers! I have a website, hosted by this site, I'm slowly adding pictures, and it's my very first attempt on a website. Too bad about all the damage your jeep's encountered, and none of it caused off-road. That's what make's hurt a little...

    Installed 'rock lights'

    1056884 I installed my "tractor" rubber armored lights under the body, just behind the forward body mount. The lamps shine down and outward, and illuminate the immediate area between the wheels and out maybe 15- 20 feet depending on terrain. The lamps are hanging from the body. Orignal set...

    Your wisdom, Jeepsters who use them, WHICH WINCH!

    1056893 What is it you want to know about? Ask a simple question. Writing all that poetry won't do any good with wheelers. [addsig]

    Your wisdom, Jeepsters who use them, WHICH WINCH!

    1057177 Far right, does your buddies 8274 free spool shifter engage easily? If it's sticking, it'll be hard to free spool. Mine, I sometimes have to "thump on it " a few times to get it to disengage. It engages real easy after that. Gota watch the free spool speed also, to fast anthe...

    Cracked exhaust manifold

    1057179 Dude, time for a new exhaust manifold period! Think about a borla header! Super easy to install. What you got, is trash now. Either way, it has to come off, if your gonna try to repair it. Not safe otherwise. If your not into a header, try a jeep wrecking yard for a new "used"...

    Why do rven other Jeeps pass me buy?

    1057334 The 4 cyl's came stock with 4:10. The larger tires are whats keeping your speed down on the hills. Swap out the 4:10's for 4:56's and you should get some of that speed/power back. The stock tire size I stink was like 27" maybe 29" fine for the 4:10's (there are others here that will...

    Took The SOA Off

    1057338 Eventually, I'll be doing a spring over conversion. I'm not to concerned about how it handles on road, (it ain't for the road) I tow my jeep to most runs, cuz it sucks for speed now (top's out at 62mph) If my jeep was my only means of transportation, it might be a different story...

    4.10 gears> I 258 and 35 inch tires.

    1057341 I'm running 4:10's with 33" BFG MT's and my max top speed is 63 MPH. With 35' I'll get my top speed back (65 to 70MPH easy). My tire's are brand new, so I'll be swapping out the 4:10's for 3:73's. Running 4:10 with 35"s you'll feel under powered, and loose a lot in your 4lo crawl...

    Wheel bearings?

    1058188 A very easy way to check wheel bearings is to jack the axle up enought to clear the wheel. Grab the wheel on top and bottom and pull & push from top & bottom. If there is any play or movement, guess what? They need attention. They may have just come loose, and need to be retightned...

    new engine.....should i???

    1058364 If your in CA. would be an illegal install if the vehicle is regestered for on -road use. For off-road use only it's be ok. Anywhere else, you may be able to get away with the swap. It's gettin to be a popular swap, puttin in a chevy 350 into the wrangler's. It's not gonna be...
