    No trackbars

    1049161 1bigmf- Wasn't arguing with you, just giving my opinion on the track bars and what it did on my Jeep. I would rather keep them off and not have to worry about disconnecting them at all, but since I do drive the Jeep everyday, I do need it to handle as well. I guess I should say...

    suspention lift combo questions...

    1049163 Joopin- Yup, all stock springs under there. We put in a little additional height when we made our spring perches. It wasn't quite 6, more like 5 3/4+" but its close. With the shackles its close about 7-7.5" total. 35's should fit nicely, there is room for 38's on my Jeep, just...

    2 feet of 2 1/4" straight pipe $5.00, 2 clamps $1.99ea

    1049215 You did eliminate it, but I did mine for free!!! And this way I don't have to worry about not having one when the local cop looks under my Jeep. (Its a lot easier when you have over 7" of lift!!! [addsig]

    suspension mods. :-?

    1049222 2.5" will be enough room for 31's. 2.5" can easily be had with new springs. Very easy to do in an afternoon. New springs will change your ride a little bit, but in my book a bigger Jeep is always a better Jeep... You may need some longer shocks, but those are easily gotten at...

    Anyone run 35s with a 3.07 ratio?

    1049266 I think its possible, but the Jeep will be a pig. I am runnin 32's on the stock gears in my 2.5 w/ 4.10 gears. Here is a formula to compute what the ratio will be- tire size now X gear ratio ____________________ wanted tire size Figuring your Jeep has 30" tires now...

    Beefed up TJ's?

    1049270 I haven't seen too many beefed up TJ's or YJ's for that fact in my town. Every once and a while you see one,, or unless your in my Jeep everytime you pass by a window !! I have to admit that I wasn't into off-roading too much, that was until the tires hit the dirt!! As soon as...

    ah-hah! no wonder my gas mileage was so bad...

    1049274 be glad that it didn't drip onto the exhaust manifold!! you would have seen a new side of your jeep when you were pushing it around! Glad to hear that you fixed that problem quickly and easily and didn't cause any thing serious-[addsig]

    1049280 Sorry to all- I was watching Monster Garage and got a little distracted and forgot the whole point of this post- BigBlackJeep That should work for you-[addsig]

    What kind of Tires should I get????

    1049281 I have some 32 Uniroyal Laredo M/T's. They work quite well and don't howl too much. I am looking to go bigger as well- possibly 35's. I would also keep your eye on Ebay to see if any deals come along. Just becareful, tires are a risky business to buy used since once a tire starts to...

    Jeep vs Snow

    1049282 We have had about 1.5 to 2 feet around here- Olean NY, about 1.5 hours south of Buffalo- Jeepin in the snow is fun- just make sure the heat is on the whole time!!! The Jeep handles fairly nicely in the snow I believe. The 4WD sure is nice- I already had to tow a F150 over a big...

    plastic windows+cold+blunt force=bad

    1049346 Wow, I didn't realize the windows were so fragile in this cold weather. I knew they were brittle- hope that doesn't happen to me!!! But if I were to fix it, I think tape would be the way to go-[addsig]

    widest, but not too tall for cj-7

    1049347 Tug is right though, it would be quite a drop out the door- I have 32's on my YJ with about 7" of lift, I'm 6'1" and I have to hop in and out- I would like more lift and some 38's though [addsig]

    1049349 Oh come on now Joopin- go with the SOA!!!!! BTW- what kind of off-roading do you do?? You could run 33's, it would be possible for the time being if money is tight- I do like the 32's for one reason- they still fit all the way up into the wheel well- which gives me nice...

    1049350 Also, I think if you have the confidence to take on the SOA, then I think you should be able to swap gears. We have done it being total novices to gears, just take your time and you should be able to do it- just ask any questions that you might have about doing the gears, there is lots...

    No trackbars

    1049351 1BMF All good, I know a lot of things factor into the sway of the vehicle. I figured with the shackles I have it is causing some of the sway that I have now- sure does have nice articulation right now though without the track bars!!! I would like some bigger tires to...

    Aux. Light switch placement?

    1049402 Another option would be to put them across the front- Thats where I have mine- kinda cool to go across and flip all the switches turning them all on/off. Just another idea- Just make sure its in a spot thats easy to get to and convenient also- Nothin worse than having to search around...

    1049403 ouch- hopefully it doesn't cost me that much- I was lookin around $189 a set for mine- 4.88's. I would like to turn the biggest tires I can, don't do anything to severe... yet. I can a hold of a set of 38's pretty cheap (free)- How long you think the stock axles would put up with...

    jeep stalling!!!!

    1049406 If it is an auto, then I would try unpluggin the transmission like Jay89 said- This happened to one of my friends- simple fix, all it ended up being was a solenoid of some kind- but if its a stick none of this matters- Otherwise I would continue to work with the carb-[addsig]

    1049408 Sounds like you are on the right track with the SOA- making things ahead of time would make things easier when it comes time to install it all. As to the gears, they can be intimidating, but it is something that needs to be right. If they are installed wrong, and ran for too long...
