I think you are in the right church, just the wrong pew. You want the pump as close to the tank for 2 reason: 1. Pressurizing the fuel line will change the boiling point of the fluid as to reduce the chance of vapor lock which is caused by the fuel overheating and changing partially or fully...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a 15% increase in strength is a bit out-landish. as mentioned the gearing mesh is better, with a HP on a front axle, your gear engagement in on the drive side of the gears while in the front on a LP axle the engagement is on the coast side of the gear...

As mentioned, the amc 304 and 360 used in jeeps are idendical blocks, all the accessories will swap over and have the same bell housing pattern. That said, why bother swapping out the 304? the 304 is a great motor. the jeep 360 only made about 10 hp &ft/lb more than the 304 depending on the...

I did on a Waggy 44. Only real difference is mine is 6 lug and your 5 on 5.5. I would suggest you look for a mid 70's-80's f150 or bronco 4x4 front rotor or even a later CJ rotor. Basically you want a slide on rotor with a 5 on 5.5 pattern that is about 11-12" diameter. In my case I used 99...

Yup, torque to yield, but 99% of the time you can re-use, especially on axles that do not use crush sleeves since you are applying way less torque. If I read correctly, when your stripping the nuts, the crush sleeve is not compressing and your stripping at 195 ft-lbs. I would try a different...

I believe the ZJ and XJ D30 will swap over to a TJ, I do not think a WJ axle will. I believe the control arm mounts are slightly different. That said, WJ steering, knuckles and brakes will swap to a tj D30 and are upgrades and will allow for High Steer. You need to change the bolt pattern but...

^^What he said^^ For the front, pretty much anything you want to swap to that will be stronger will require outboardng the springs or shortening the front axle. If you stay SUA, a open knuckle Waggy D44 from the 70's will be close to a bolt in, but will require some work.

New or old pinion nuts? New or old crush sleeve? A pinion nut is technically a one time use. The pinion nut is a torque to yield nut and the threads will deform to set and on a second use will strip. The threads are designed for a single initial torque of 260 ft-lbs to crush the sleeve. If...

If they are factory originals (term used loosely) they are 5 slot aluminum rims made for AMC by Kelsey Hayes. If that is what they are, they are somewhat rare and desirable. BUT To be Honest, those are most likely aftermarket knock off 5 slot wheels that were made by several aftemarket...

I like what your doing. Those pics at ride height? On the front, is that just a bumper or is it a "front half" kit. If latter, where did you cut the frame?

Sounds like a fun build. Why go through all that work to SOA on a 2" spring? Why not say SUA and just move the perches back. Assuming you are liberal with a saw-zall, with about 4" of stretch and limited up travel, a 42" tire will fit. Also with a tire that big, the saganaw steering box will...

I do and have owned all the jeeps you have listed and my opinion is to find (depending on where in the rust belt you live) a 92-95 YJ with a 4.0 and AX15. Still have the reliablility of MPI. Simpler and cheaper to work on (both mod and maintain), will require way less work than a CJ to maintain...

Replace either your flasher or your flasher relay. Both are cheap and I bet one of the two are bad.

I'm not going that far... and yes, I I mentioned, the purchasing demographic is not you or I. My wife drives nice new vehicles because thats what she likes and frankly I want my kids driving around in a save modern vehicle. Me personally, I drive an old truck with even older ammentities. I...

Well, Lack of updates on my part... Wheeled the crap out of the jeep the past couple years. Ended up ditching the 38" SX's and put the Q's back on then sometime in the winter of 0h-12 I traded the Q's straight up for a set of brand new 39.5" TSL's Took is out for several easy runs and a couple...

What would be nice is if jeep paid attention to the purists and not the johnny-come-lately pink hat wearing yuppies (although that is the main demographic for jeep currently) Build a stripped down rubicon, no navigation, no auto swaybar do-hickies, no leather or carpet but a absolute stripped...

3 options, Regear your axles (or swap in a set already re-geared, might be cheaper) Low-max gears in your transfer case (like 4:1 mentioned) Swap in a trans with granny low 1st gear like a sm420 or a T18 All this comes at a price, if you can do the work your self, the t-case would be the...

Ditto on factory HVAC, since I am just finishing up SAS and linking the front of my GMC and I am going forward with 4 linking the front of my YJ, I am on a lean budget for the Jeep Diet. I eventually go with a mohave heater, couple of my chums have them and they crank and they take up next to no...

rather drive a yugo

unless your planning on running a 40" tire or more, SOA is not needed... asuuming your not shy with a sawzall and know what springs to use. I recently built a CJ5 for a friend, we used 4" BDS front FSJ springs front and rear, for the rear we swapped around the leafs in the pack with some...
