    Six Speaker Sound Bar

    1048809 I would rather make my own out of some handy materials lying around the house. That way you can go buy the speakers you want, put them exactly where you want them and have it set-up the way you want as well. You could probably do it cheaper that way too...[addsig]

    Modifications for snow

    1048812 I would agree to the prior posts as well. If your tires have less than 5/32th's of tread left, I would get some new ones for winter. I have 32x11.5 Laredo M/T's on my 92 YJ, It goes ok in 2WD, but in 4WD I can go just about anywhere. Remember, you can have all the power and best...

    Monster Garage...

    1048852 Monster Garage is an inspiration to those of us who wouldn't normally think that we can build stuff out of steel. After watching that show I am inspried to go out to the garage grab the ol' MIG welder, grinder, some steel and just make stuff. We have made our own custom light bars for...

    Modifications for snow

    1048853 I would agree that the best tires for the winter are tires dedicated for snow use. But if you need a good all around performer, I would go with an A/T tire. The mud tires look cool, but the bigger blocks don't usually help in the snow, esp. on a light Jeep. The more edges you have to...

    sawzall

    1048854 If it can't be fixed with a sawzall, it wasn't meant to be fixed. (Of course, this is after you have tried various other tools such as a torch, BMF hammer, grinding/cutting wheels ect....)[addsig]

    15X8 vs. 15X10

    1048913 I used to work at a tire center and the 8 inch rims should work. They rims are on the small end of the size spectrum but they should work. Another benefit to having a small width rimis that your tire will bulge out and that will also help prevent sidewall punctures. Its up to you...

    Starting problems

    1048914 I assume you checked at the coil to see if you spark? Need a little more input to as where you have traced/ and what you have checked. Not starting could be a host of things. Just to be sure I would also make sure that you have fuel pressure. Let me/us know everything you have...

    Lights

    1048920 I've got 4 100 watt lights on my light bar, two more 100 watt on the bumper and 2 55 watt on lower side of the bumper. I will be puttin some lights in the rear for more light out back, not to mention probably more lights up front when I get a grill guard. [addsig]

    after market tops

    1048954 I have the Bestop 'Sunrider' on my Jeep. I love this top and so do some of my Jeep buddies. It too can be taken down in a matter of minutes, but it also has the ability to fold back from the windshield in about 10 seconds. This is nice if the weather looks a little 'iffy' but you...

    after market tops

    1048962 Yeah the Sunrider Top is identical to the supertop except that it has the fold-back option. Same hardware in the back, but has an addition bar that holds the front down on the windshield, You have to install some holders on the windshield to hold it down. Very easy to operate and a joy...

    Transfer Case go clackety clackety CLANK clackety clackety C

    1048963 Sounds like the chain is toast. What kind of driving was it going back home? I had to pull the driveshaft once to get home, luckily only 8 miles. Was there any fluid in the t-case or is it completely bone dry? You can take off that back cover pretty easily and look to see if...

    Modifications for snow

    1048964 I would go with A/T's, they are supposed to be for all terrains, hence a/t. Mud tires work great in the slush, but don't do very good on the hardpack/glazed over snow. It all depends on what you want for your Jeep and what you want it to look like and perform come this summer...

    grille guards

    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...

    suspention lift combo questions...

    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...

    No trackbars

    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...

    grille guards

    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-...

    What mods should I Do yo my 87' yj?

    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...
