RE: Re: RE: 87 Cherokee won

That Jeep looks to be plenty capable. I was talking about suspension flex only. In that regard, it isn't that impressive.


Man, just go ahead and do the dang SOA. You aren't going to go wrong either way. You got a 2" Rancho already? PERFECT!! Do a 2" SOA with the Ranchos. Their slightly stiffer spring is perfect for that setup. Use a combination of BL, shackle, and or TJ flares for any additional clearance you need for those 39s.

OK, in this one it's not the jeep but the sceenery

Timing Cover Compatability...

I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be mean . What does impress you though?

RE: Some more stroker q

some others I was impressed with or amazed by....

OK this just looks like fun

I just DO NOT want the flex like this guy has

This kid won some prises for his suspension, he designed it for a school project and since then, it has received 3 awards.. best engineered, BFG new inventors contest, Design News magazine invention contest!

I'm impressed by anything that works. The original Jeep pic that you posted looks like my kind of Jeep. I like them all. I can even find things to appreciate about some of the lowered I've seen. I'm not too interested in the super flexy stuff, but that's just because it isn't the major setup concern for some of the stuff I like to do with a Jeep.

Do you have any pics of what you like :? , any others reading this.... post what vechicals you like....

RE: Death Wobble? More like Horrific Murder Wobble!

Hey watch it!
That is my friends truck and that was an old matress bound for a yard sale, that we left up there for about 2 days first. We had alot of fun, I recall running around town with the matress on top. I put on my best coveralls with ripped off sleaves, and we went cruising.

The stares we got were... well....priceless.

Some people were scared to make eye contact. We had a sign on the side doors once that read " Apoke Snake Ranch"

Cheap fun.

been there, still like to do that....

RE: Progress, almost done....

I am impressed by this vehicle:

A Dodge, WW-II era "Command" car.

Note the size relative to the Jeep in the background.

This military vehicle evolved into the post-war Dodge "Power Wagon" series of trucks.

Regards,

Gadget

And check out the size of the winch on that behemoth!! Those were rated to pull tanks out of mud pits, if I'm thinking of the correct vehicle specs.....

 

[TwistedCU]

I like the Land Rover 90 series Defenders... always have. If I could afford such an expensive toy I would own one... not to wheel it just to have it. I like the old Broncos too (the smaller ones - no not the broncoII the real old ones!).

I also like 55 Chevy Nomads and big old Suburbans. Don't ask me why.

RE: Chat Room Active (if only by one)

NICE 'BURBAN :shock:

PRARIE LIKEY A LOT :twisted:

 

[tharbold]

.... but this is the vehicle that impresses me the most. Why? Because it's mine now .... and in order to get it, I had to convince my wife that even with two kids (5 and 3) and a mortgage it was still "the right thing to do".

Now I just have to figure out how to convince her that a few mods (minor lift, slightly bigger tires, and quick disconnects) are also "the right thing to do."
