1049862 -Another thing, if you do something anyway, make sure it is easy taken back off so that you can take it to the dealer looking stock..... that might help you out some too...[addsig]

1050104 SOA is the way to go!!! Once again, another benefit to having leaf springs all around. You can get at least 5.5" of lift using your stock springs, and still maintain stock ride and have awesome articulation as well. Flat springs flex better than 'smiley' ones so thats another benefit...

1050108 You can shift into 4WD High while underway, just make sure your rear tires aren't spinning, if they are it will put a lot of stress on the front axles since they will suddenly be forced to spin faster. This is very hard on all the parts of the drivetrain. As long as it hasn't done it...

1050206 The same sayin holds true.... LOWRIDERS ARE FOR GUYS THAT CAN'T GET IT UP!!!!! There must a problem with a man's functionality if he chooses to lower his jeep... [addsig]

1050409 Right now I am looking to mount up a set of 38.5x15's on my 92 YJ. I hope that with the right gears and axles that my little 2.5 will be able to turn those monsters. I am also going to add in some more height so I can still flex my axles when I need too, even though those monsters...

1050415 I know we as Jeepers love to rip on the Hummers. But as big as we make our Jeeps and as much as we put into them, the Hummers will always have something we don't- PLANETARY DRIVE!!! (I am talking about the real Hummers, not the painsy H2's) I would love to be able to drive on of...

1050417 If your body is rusted that bad, I would assume you have rust other places as well. If you have the $$ I would almost recommend buying a new fiberglass tub. i have seen them from JCWhitney for around $1100. I know that sounds steep, but think of it this way- The time you spend...

1050419 Yup, did this to mine before i even had it 5 minutes so i didn't notice any difference really. But I have heard it does help. Also, another thing to do would be to go to your local autozone and buy a cone filter, a pvc elbow and mount that under the hood. Gets a lot more air, just...

1050422 I agree with that statement as well, but the Hummers do have planetary drive which is very nice and creates a lot of ground clearance as well, also has totally independant suspension which again is nice. (This is of course the real military hummers, not the painsy civilian models.)...

1050604 good point judge, as a owner of a '94 Z28 that is lowered and has MANY mods to the motor, I would have to agree that as car/jeep/truck owners that we probably all were at one point, we should love all vehicles. I have respect for anyone who does do things to their vehicle. This...

1051002 Yup, arrow is basically a shift light. I have grown to ignore mine since it would take a month to get to 60 if you shifted when it said too. These are nothing but the good ol' gov't stepping in to try and regulate emissions and efficiency....[addsig]

1051004 I love driving in the snow, although the only time it gets nasty is when you can't see. But being up higher in my Jeep I have the added bonus of being able to have more lights on down low which cuts down on the 'starfield' effect of driving with lots of lights when the snow is heavy...

1051007 If you were to keep driving in a tight turn, i.e. parking lot, would it keep doing it, or does the Jeep have to return to center to do it again? If the Jeep has to be going straight again I would suspect that a body mount is broken and the remainder of it is rubbing back and forth when...

1051008 Also-despite what many people think, a smaller footprint is usually preferred in snow. A bigger footprint will float on top of the snow, not what you usually want. A smaller footprint will put more pressure on the snow and let the tire grip better. There are occasions in snow where a...

1051009 Welcome aboard, hope you can find your place in here. I hope we are friendly to you and if we are not, don't worry, its usually from a lack of off-roading...its not intended. [addsig]

1051010 Yeah, -10 last nite when i went out, Jeep didn't like it too much. But after a few miles all was good, the shifter acted like it was in honey.... Don't really know how to prevent it, just let the Jeep warm up a little before you go anywhere, that helps a little. [addsig]

1051011 Joining the service in just about any country is a good thing I believe. It will let you appreciate everything that you have and the freedoms that you enjoy as well. Even though it is highly unlikely that the draft will be reinstated, I believe everyone should join regardless...

1051013 Well put Tug- i have only been on here a couple months but already have learned quite a bit and shared quite a bit as well. Hope this site continues to inspire many more to join and continue the tradition of Jeeping....[addsig]

1051014 I would say go with the v8 conversion. Either way its not going to be cheap, but at least chevy v8's are a dime a dozen so to speak. And since you have a carb to begin with it makes it a lot easier as well. Swapping in a v8 carb wouldn't be too hard since you wouldn't have the modern...

1051065 In theory the bigger footprint makes sense, but in snow it is the opposite. There are times when a bigger footprint would help, but overall, a slightly smaller footprint with lots of biting edges is best. If you look at winter tires and compare the same sizes- i.e.-195/75R15 for...
