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]

1047386 A big lift is nice as long as it is set-up right. Also, are you going for show or off-road capability?? A Jeepers biggest pet-peeve is someone who puts thousands of $$ into their Jeep only to drive it down the street- A Jeep isn't complete without Mud and "Battle Wounds" from...

1047408 Thanks for the imput so far.. In addition to the SOA there is also about 1 1/2 inches of shackle lift in there, (gotta love the YJ's lifting ease.. ) We measured and there is room for the tires. The off-roading that we do is more techinical type, not the slammin and bangin around that...

1047479 Looking through the posts, it doesn't look like anyone called you stupid. We all try and help each other out with questions and suggestions. It sounds like you have the right idea though, building the Jeep for what YOU want and what YOU are going to do with it. Maybe others do not...

1047562 I did the SOA on my YJ along with the typical easy shackle lift, which totals about 7.5-8 inches of total lift. I have the stock driveshaft in the rear. We also dropped the transfer case 1.5" and rotated the axles to help eliminate some of the driveshaft angle. Believe it or not, the...

1047565 Being the owner of the Jeep that Snitty is refering too, I can say that NY is the worst place for any vehicle to live and grow up in. -Jeeps always show there best colors in the mud...- [addsig]

1047566 Just to clear up any confusion, what I meant was the 'Believe it or not, the rear DRIVESHAFT ended up right where it should be...' Just to clear up any possible questions about what I said... -Get your Jeep a brown coat for Christmas...-[addsig]

1047580 GR93- Lowering the transfer case is pretty easy. It took us about 10 minutes to do the actual lowering. All you need to do is take out one of the skidplate bolts you have now, go to a hardware store to match up the threads, buy 6 bolts and washers that are about 1.5" longer and some...

1047701 Tryin to work on your Jeep in the winter is fun, as long as your heater still has fuel... once it runs out, it gets real cold real quick!! I would love to have some of that 80's weather right now, have the top off ect..... Oh well, only another 4 months till its warm again. -If the...

1047704 I would say 30's, my friend put 31's on his and they were a tight squeeze. If money is a concern right now, you could always pick up a set of shackles from any auto parts store, throw them in and gain 2-3" very easily and cheaply- boom, 31's fit easily and POSSIBLY 32's, as long as you...

1047709 Glad to hear things are all better. I have also went thru some deep puddles myself ending up with about 2 inches of water inside the Jeep. One thing that is good to do is try and hook up some kind of snorkle system for your Jeep so when the going gets deep, you don't have to worry...

1047761 Hey TJoffroad00, easy on the drag racing comments. I happen to own one of the fastest 4th gen Camaros in my town. (You can check it out here- Joe's Camaro if that doesn't work the URL is cardomain.com/id/ricekller) If you have never tried it, then don't knock on it. But anyway...

1047764 I put a 3" shackle lift believe it or not. I ran 32's on it, they were a little tight, but it got the job done. I did not have to drop the transfer case although it would have been better on the driveline. I would recommend doing it though, it is really easy. No need to buy a kit...

1047767 FR, The thought has already been passed around our circle of off-roaders... A Jeep with 400+ horse would be nice.. Hopefully a GM smallblock will finds it way under the Jeeps hood some day..... -A Jeep used only on the street is like a hot-chick becoming a nun...-[addsig]

1047770 Out of those things that you DON"T want to do, the brake lines are the biggest PITA, droppin the t-case and switching driveshafts is not that hard really... -If you have never been under your Jeep to fix something you broke, you shouldn't own it...-[addsig]

1047771 I would have to agree that the cat is toast. I would save some $$ here and just gut it out as long as you don't have to worry about emissions and such. As too the Jeep running rough, I am not totally sure. I would check everything to make sure the Jeep is getting air. Sometimes the...

1047776 I also have the 4-banger I also wanted to do something to spice up the exhaust without having it sound like an import. (I am used to the nice throaty exhaust on my Camaro... ) So a glasspack sounds pretty good? I want a little more tone, but not that annoying...

1047794 Yup, i know, i know. no one suggests a larger than 2" lift, but thats what it needed to get the job done for the time being. They did hurt the approach/departure angles, but it was enough to make my Jeep stand higher than all the other "PJ's" (term coined by my friend Snitty to...

1047870 The SOA that Snitty is refering to was on my Jeep. Here is a list of things that you will need to purchase- -4 shocks- autozone- approx. $18-22 a piece- I can get you the part #'s that I used in a day or two.. -approx. 4ft. of 1.5 square tubing- this is for making front shock...

1047871 If i recall correctly, the lines on the pancake are what engage it back and forth, the third line is just a vacuum line that tells the little 4WD light to come on. I would have a friend engage the axle from inside the Jeep and listen to the lines to if you have any pressure. If not...
