    What can I do to make the 3.6 bigger?

    Three options if your serious about real power. Turbo Super charge Get rid of the motor and put a V8 in. Fact is, the pentastar 3.6l V6 is probably the most powerful engine with 6 cylinders to ever come in a Jeep. I guess you could start bolting on cold air this and that and exhaust with...

    Roll cages, nerf bars, and bumpers

    Having rolled my jeep plenty of times, I am concerned with the material used to make the cage and the integrity of that cage more than anything. My current cage has been on it's lid at least 3 times that I recall. The only stock part of the cage is the B pillar. The front of the cage is 2"...

    Please help, 01 TJ

    As I stated it would have to be an aftermarket, jeep did not introduce a "factory" alarm in open top vehicles until the JK in 06 and even that it is basically a keyless system with a annoying noise maker. VATS= Vehicle Anti-Theft System I'm surprised it started, Viper is made by DEI and I am...

    Ball Joint

    What ever really, years ago I would have said Moog or nothing, but the last couple sets I have installed went to junk way to quick. It has been a long time since I have done D30 ball joints, but I believe in order to do the top, you need to press out the bottom, so since you need to press them...

    Please help, 01 TJ

    There was no factory anti-theft system on TJ's in 01, so you have an after market alarm. If you pull the knee bolster off, the alarm module or "brain" should be pretty easy to see. Simply unplug everything from the brain. Then you will have to locate the 12 gauge ignition harness, there will be...

    Suggestions for OEM style replacement seats. '87 YJ

    Seats from a fox body mustang is an almost 100% direct bolt in and can be found dirt cheap since they have not made the car since 93. I have heard also 80's-early90's cougar and t-bird seat will swap but the electronics can be a PITA.

    Fuel Filter With Mechanical Fuel Pump

    In the past, I only ran a inline filter between the pump and the carb when running a mechianical pump. I have found that a filter between the tank and the pump will starve the mechanical pump under initial fuel demand for acceleration. Most mechanical pumps are just lobe pumps and any...

    How do you remove a rubber bushing?

    I have three well proven methods; 1. Press is out, if this is not available. 2. As close as you can to the ID of the track bar sleeve, using a 1/8" drill bit, drill a series of holes around the circumfrance then hammer it out. 3. Light it on fire and wait for the rubber to burn up to the point...

    Transmission Qs

    Here is my advice... A CJ makes a horrible daily driver. That said, if it were me and I had to have a CJ to drive every day, I would get fuel injection and swap in a trans with an overdrive like a NV3500 or the likes. Probably could double the gas milage and increase the reliability with this...

    Jeep 350

    What year is your Jeep? depending on the state, make sure you perform a legal swap. In my state, it is illegal to put an older motor into a newer chassis (ex. 95 jeep with a 92 TBI GM 350.) I will echo the 4.3, great motor and easy swap, but a v8 is really no more work. I would highly...
