1055764 Ok- for the front at least with my Jeep, I just wrap the chain/tow strap around the front bumper. For the back, below the door there are two holes that are halfway under the body. These work great for towing with. I have used them on a number of occasions and haven't failed me yet...

1055767 Well put Bounty- I guess time will tell if if CENFB and Carriss are for real- Just wish he didn't insist on puttin faces in EVERYONE of his posts- gets a little repetative and takes away from the meaning. hmmm... kinda like the boy who cried 'wolf' all the time...[addsig]

1055771 It sounds like a good deal, BUT if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Ask the guy why he is selling it that cheap. To me that sounds too cheap for what all is in that Jeep. I would take it for a good long ride and also- show up unexpectly too- that way the seller...

1055772 We all know how those 1st timers know so much. I just wish I could take an import driver on every off-roading trip so he could tell me everything I am doing wrong and the proper way to do it. hahaha- i can hear it now.... "If we had NOS we would have never gotten stuck...."...

1055988 Myself and Snitty are in NY, about 15 minutes north of Bradford PA- not sure where you are in Penn., but if we are close give a holler some time-[addsig]

1055990 I have heard of people goin as big as 35's on stock axles- BUT at that point you are right on the border of breaking something. I would say it MAY be possible, but be careful when you are off-roading not to put too much stress on the axles. That is a lot of weight and tire to turn and...

1055992 Doesn't sound good- I would assume that you are also having a litttle trouble shifting gears? The shavings of brass would be your syncronizers going. Instead of rebuilding I would try and look around and find on that is used either someone upgrading or out of a wrecked on...

1056133 Ok- with lug nuts, getting them to the proper torque is a lot more important that people think. If they are not properly torqued there is the potential to warp your rotors. But honetsly there is not much difference between 95-100 lbs of torque. BUT, the most important thing is to get...

1056134 I would say take the 2 grand and sell the Jeep you have now. Unless you are attached to it for some reason, I would sell it and buy another one and start over. I am looking to sell mine pretty soon and buy a little Jeep and transform it into a monster. (Chevy 350, turbo 350...

1056135 Tug, Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but don't you think that its thoughts and ways of thinking like that which put the cable bills so high?? If everytime the cable company did something to someone's yard or mailbox and had to give free cable or some kind of monetary settlement, just...

1056174 Just to further clarify what I said earlier- its not that I am opposed to people going after some kind of reward for damages they suffered. What I AM opposed to are the people who go after millions of dollars for no permanent damage that they incured. I have a good friend of mine who...

1056218 I am hoping to do a V8 converstion to the next Jeep I own. Oh, and 'troy- the LT1 that is in my Camaro made peak torque at 2400 rpm, thats pretty low if you ask me. And if you put in a 4x4 cam, it will be even lower, so it all depends on how the motor is set up to perform and at what...

1056231 I wouldn't run the Jeep too long without anything giving you backpressure. Without backpressure you run the risk of ruining your valves. If you are just runnin down to the exhaust shop I don't think it would be a problem, but runnin around town for the next year would be. If you can...

1049038 I agree- a MIG welder is to metal what a hot-glue gun is to everything else... I have used one to make things I never would have thought about making with a stick welder. I have fabicated my own custom shock system, axle perches, light bar and welded in a new floor in my Jeep...

1049039 Wow, amazing how the simplest things you don't think of out on the trail huh? Now that I know to do that I will remember and keep it mind. Hopefully I won't have that problem again but you never know.... My mindset is that if you aren't bendin or breaking things, you aren't driving...

1049040 I would go with a SOA converstion. Just did this in my Jeep for less than $100. You will of course need lots of time to custom make things and scrap steel lying around and the proper tools of course. A couple benefits to SOA are; -You keep the same springs so ride doesn't...

1049070 I took off the track bar in the rear and I could tell a difference in the handling. If you are only around town going 30 mph, not much difference. But on the highway there is definetly a difference. I don't have either connected and now the Jeep hardy handles at all. I am pretty...

1049071 Greencuke- If we come up with a good design and can manufacture them at a decent rate, is it something that you would be interested in?? Or even if you want to come up with a basic design and what sizes of materials you would want we could try and maybe get an estimate cost for price-...

1049072 6 hours as long as your Jeep hasn't lived through a bunch of New York winters..... New York Winter + Lots of Rust = More than 6 hours It is well worth the effort though!!!!![addsig]

1049073 It all depends on one word- MONEY Well actually depends on another thing too, what does your Jeep do now? Daily driver or weekend cruiser? (Every Jeep should be driven daily though.. ) If you want a lot of lift for cheap, go SOA. About 5.5" using most of your stock parts...
