    Limiting straps with a long arm kit?

    The point of the limiting straps is that when your suspension articulates so much, depending on how the suspension is set up, it can cause drive line binding and blown joints. the limiting straps are generally used to limit the droop to eliminate the binding. That said, around here we generally...

    Driving with your windshield folded down

    I don't know, but when my jeep was registered, I used to fold down the windshield all the time, always with sometype of eye protection (sunglasses.) I got pulled over once and when the LEO questioned what I was doing, I asked him to explain the difference between my windshield being folded down...

    Am I missing something here? or am I just getting too old?

    Turbogus, don't tell anyone I am telling you this, if you want a cheap, reliable plug and play relay pack for that fan, go find a 90's 740 volvo wagon, they use the same exact fans as ford used and the replay pack is mounted on the side of the shroud, will plug into the ford fan and you simply...

    Rear Differential Options For a Jeep TJ

    First, D44 never came from a factory with a 4cyl, the only D44 with 4.11 gears factory is a rubicon D44 and I would not waste the money on rubicon axles. the price is far too inflated for what is essentially a D30 front axle with slightly larger ring gear and 30 splines. Additionally the rubicon...

    Am I missing something here? or am I just getting too old?

    As someone who grew up working on vehicles that needed regular work because it was a necessity, I feel your pain. Most parts store counter people don't know anything about the vehicles and how they work. 1. the computer does all the thinking and searching rather than looking in a parts book...

    Rear Differential Options For a Jeep TJ

    8.25 is an alright axle, less aftermarket support than the other two you listed and there is no bolt in TJ application from a factory. If you can find the TJ D44, that will eb the easiest route.

    Lift and shocks

    you mean air springs. basically a supplemental rubber bladder that get installed inside the rear coil and under heavy load you can air up to compensate for the weight. Firestone and Air-lift are the way to go. If you want a replacement shock that can help support a load, I personally do not...

    Should I convert a 4.2 i6 to weber carb or go fuel injection kit

    Honestly, google it, plenty of write ups on how to do it.

    Since you said carbed 350, the transmission is most likely a TH350, the bell housing is part of the tranmission. unless the trans is a SM 465 3 speed. Then there will be provisions for a mechanical clutch. Also you can run an external slave hydraulic clutch and will only require you to drill a...

    Should I convert a 4.2 i6 to weber carb or go fuel injection kit

    Go efi and never look back. the Howell Kit is very good, if you are savy, you can piece together a chevy TBI system from junk yard parts. If your damned to keep it carbed, Offy intake and small 4 barrel.

    Also, a stock carbed truck 350 (73-85) doesn't put out all that much more power and torque than a stock 4.2. Assuming the AX15 is in good repair, it will be fine. I have used Novak adapters before with good sucees, as for the motor mounts, I always make my own, I personally find them over...

    2011 wrangler umlimited {trail rated} stock

    Trail rated = sales ploy for a while anybody could mail away for that little sticker on the side. As for your shock failure, with out looking at a picture it is tough to determine the failure. I is most likely something that was defective from the manufacturer, but as long as your in...

    Series 3 Dana 44 open Differential ?

    Yes there are, but that only relates to the rotation cut on the gears, either standard cut for LP and reverse cut for HP, all other components are the same and interchangable (san exceptions) Ford is the only mass produced, factory installed HP D44 that I can think of off the top of my head...

    Odd fitting cage

    I see no Issue with it. It's obviously a aftermarket add on. My A pillar is about that close to where the windshield would be (I don't run a windshield) As long as there is no contact between the two, I would not let it bother me. as for the bottom, when I built my cage, I bent just under the...
