1048278 I would also check the timing, make sure the distributer is in tight as well. If it can rotate at all it will throw things off under the hood, doing exactly what you say, losing power, backfiring, ect.. [addsig]

1048314 An easy fix would be to run a new wire from any power source, whether it be fused or not, (ideally straight from the battery, if you choose a source from inside the Jeep make sure it can handle the addition load or it is something that you don't use very often, i.e.- rear defroster...

1048315 I stand corrected, a thermostat can get stuck in the open position, but after 30-35 minutes the engine should have warmed up all the coolant in the system enough to move the needle even if it is just slightly. Like I said before, when you take out the old thermostat, check it and...

1048316 When I hollowed out mine I used a piece of 1/4" angle iron about 2.5' long. If you use this method just pound it down in one corner and work around the other corners, this will clear out the middle, the rest will just fall into the middle and you can continue to ram it out. Took me...

1051599 I know what you mean- but also keep in mind that if you do not use your Jeep properly it will break down more too- (meaning that if you don not use it off-road for its intended purpose things seem to break a little more often too.....)[addsig]

1051600 An easy way to do it would be to go to Cardomain.com and set up your webpage, there you can set-up your own site for free. I have two, one for my Jeep and one for my Camaro. This is probably one of the easiest ways to get your vehicle on the 'net....[addsig]

1051715 My light stays on for little bit until the solenoid moves over for the light to go out, its in 2wd, but the actuator for the light is a little sticky, esp. in cold weather. If your light is on all the time, check your lines going to the front axle. On the older wranglers they had a...

1051716 I have posted mine before, but here goes again- www.cardomain.com/id/bigblkpjcrusher It has a little info on our SOA we did to it and some of the things we encountered while doing it.....[addsig]

1051717 I would agree that while body lifts may add a little height, they don't really add that much for you. You get added tire clearance, that is about all. I would much rather go with a 1.5" shackle lift, its a lot easier and you gain ground clearance as well which is very beneficial to...

1051719 The easiest way to get around an inspection around here is to go to some backwoods guy with a case of beer and then- BINGO- you got yourself an inspection sticker. It wouldn't matter if you had to push the Jeep in and when you started it, it resembled a diesel.... Around here...

1051721 Oil on top of the airfilter is def. from the PCV system. I would get it cleaned out as soon as possible-[addsig]

1051722 Don't you just love how everything seems to be connected to everything else these days??? Break one little thing and it ruins everything else- gotta love technology-[addsig]

1051723 You may not need brake lines- When I was running 3" of lift mine were fine. If they aren't, a real cheap fix is to move the mounts down on the frame to cheat a little bit and gain a little more length. The only other thing that you MAY need would be either a SYE or different...

1051921 Some of the vibrations are just from having a Jeep- But the others could be tires out of balance, out of alignment, or any other type of tire related problem. Really need a little more into what the vibrations are and where they are coming from to give a good suggestion. I would...

1051922 Weather report- Western NY- Has snowed everyday for the past 2 weeks- some more than others, but there has been more everyday- And as temperature wise- if you added up the highs for the past week you would get around 65-70. So those of you who think that 30 is cold- try...

1051926 I think some of it depends on where you are leaving your Jeep. If you are in a warmer climate, it would be different. Contrary to popular belief, I have heard and always FILLED my Camaro/vehicles when putting it up for storage. Additive to the tank on the way home from that last...

1051928 I look at buying tools as 'make-up' for guys. Honestly- you ever look at your girlfriends/wifes collection of make-up colors?!?!?!?! How many shades of red can there be?!?!?! When she asks "Why do you need all those tools anyway?" just reply back with "Why do you need 47...

1051930 If you want to turbo or nitrous something, by a honda. -put in a V8 if you want some real power. You can put a turbo on it, but the amount of $$ you would have in it you could have a RELIABLE V8 that would get you and your Jeep just about anywhere you needed to go. -Wasn't...

1052052 I would have to ask why you would want 16" wheels?? Save the 16" for the trucks and get some 15". They are much more common with tire sizes we run and they are easier to sell in the future as well. But to answer your question- I would try calling the 'The Tirerack' and ask them if...

1052053 I usually get around 12-14, depending on the driving. If I go off roading that usually kills the old gas mileage, but hey, the crappy mileage makes up for it in the summer. Can't take the top and doors off a 40 mpg honda!!!! [addsig]
