1051066 I hear you pinaplebob- i have gone 4wheelin with a variety of vehicles, but Jeeps are the best to go with since they weigh the same as you. I tried to pull a K1500 up a hilll that was covered in about 5" of mud and snow combination and the Jeep would just spin. It is hard pulling...

1051067 I have yet to find or see the check engine light. I figure that if something is wrong for the indicator to light up, then I probably will be able to tell something is wrong. Plus, if it does it just tells you to check the engine, which can be any number of things. If you suspect...

1051068 I can attest to the fact that Mud tires do not work in snow/icy conditions. Tonite on my way home I was headed up the hill that I have driven over a thousand times. A nice corner at the bottom before a straightaway. The roads were a little slick, but not slick enough for 4WD I...

1051069 sounds like a fuel/timing issue. Those can be hard to track down sometimes, but I would also check your wires/distributor as well if they haven't been checked already. My Jeep was doing about the same thing as you describe and it turned out to be the wires arcing across each other...

1051302 Ok guys, it looks like there may be some interest in our own little private business. I would just like to clarify first off that we are NOT professionals, but we can make stuff out of steel. It may not be as perfect as the stuff made from a factory, but I feel that ours will be just...

1051303 I would agree, I would rather buy a cheap import cone filter than splurge for the K&N. There isn't a whole lot of difference, maybe 1 or 2 horse. I have a K & N on my Camaro and love it, don't get me wrong, but in hindsite, I would buy a cheap cone filter and fabricate my own intake...

1051305 There are benefits to the shackel reversal, but overall I think you would be better off savin your $$ for some other mods. I have said it before and will say it again, I believe in making your own parts for the Jeep than buying them. If you are into fabricating, I would recommend...

1051312 Try taking out the switch and checking the contacts on the inside. Mine went bad and all it took was a little TLC on the switch and rearch the contact springs inside the switch. Try that and see if it helps....[addsig]

1051372 I am not so sure about the lift and such, but I can attest to the fact that there are one tough little truck. I had a 92 2WD with the 4 banger/ 5 speed in it. I drove that truck like I stole it and it never complained. I would agree with Snitty though, with the suspension set-up like...

1051374 Reggie- Sorry, things have been really busy around here. We came up with a figure and if I can get your email address again I will send you what we figured out- It will take a little longer than first thought to make the bumper, but I would rather spend a little more time on it than...

1051377 Again, welcome to Jeepz. I also have the little 4 banger, its no speed demon, but it does get through some pretty amazing stuff. Quik8slvr is the one to talk to about a V8 swap- but from what I have heard the diffs will more than likely need to be changed. The ones that came with the...

1051378 Just to clarify- we have a lot of metal working tools, just not the specialty tools, we can make just about anything, some things just may take a little longer since we would have to figure out how to make it since we don't have some tools. We have enough to make just about anything...

1051380 Around here 350 chevy motors are about a dime a dozen. We live in a small town, it is not uncommon to see rednecks with engines hangin from trees. (That is no joke either..) But seriously though- I would think that if you are mechanically inclined you could pick up a 350 motor fairly...

1051384 Does the Jeep looked tipped to the passenger side when you are parked on level ground? It sounds almost like a shock mount may be bent or something that is making the travel in the shock different- Since you switched the springs and shocks it pretty much rules out that the springs are...

1051385 Tug- I started out with shackles, I don't know if you are anything like me, (God help you if you are!! ) but once the 'lift bug' bites you, you are addicted. It may take some time, but once you see what you can do with a little more lift and tires, you begin to wonder what...

1051505 Yep- I would try the search method- saves waiting for responses [addsig]

1051521 Welcome to Jeepz, hope you come to enjoy this crazy group of Jeepers!![addsig]

1051522 Yeah, AOL is great- I am JLAudiofan3, if you have any questions or just wanna chat feel free to drop a line- p.s.- I have done my own custom SOA and metal fabrication of bumpers and light bars, if you have a need let me know- I might be able to help you!![addsig]

1051523 About the only thing that I can think of would be to get a shroud to cover the air inlet that will help force air into the heater core. Other than that I have heard that the heater out of an old chevy truck will work in a Jeep and provide more than the 1 BTU that our heaters put...

1051526 I have also heard the Kuhmo's are decent tires for a decent price- the BFG's are the best i think though- also, try ebay, sometimes you can get a decent set of treads for a cheap price-[addsig]
