This will be the first time I missed the show in years. I had to work :mad: The three bucks is not only cheap, but that money goes to pay for scholarships in the automotive department at UVU. I would pay even more to get in, since I was a scholarship recipient. I don't know if I could have...

A couple of ideas for you: Limiting straps on the front end are not a bad idea. A lot of drag racers use droop limiters in the front for more consistent launches. It helps with weight transfer and such. This may not solve your breakage issues, but may help in other areas. I believe one of the...

The biggest problem is the price. If it is in decent shape, people want your first born child to purchase it. If you are lucky enough to find one for cheap, is usually looks like it spent spent several years at the bottom of the Great Salt Lake-- very very rusty. I just looked at one that was...

North Fork is open I was up there Friday (23rd) morning/afternoon and the only gate that is open is to go up north fork. Silver Lake is still closed, so is the loop road. However, the ranger told me that the loop road would be open on June 6th. I drove most of the way to Mineral basin...

You are right, drums are more efficient brakes. To bad they can't shed heat like a disc setup. Drum brakes do have the advantage of self-energizing once that have contacted the drums, however they do require more pressure to start moving because they must overcome the return spring tension...

Just out of curiosity, did any jeeps every come with four wheel disc brakes? maybe the grand cherokees or something?

I converted a car from disc/drum to disc/disc and I put a Wilwood proportioning valve on it in place of the factory thing and never had a problem. It was nice to be able to adjust the bias front to rear. All the the manual prop valves do is reduce the pressure that is sent through them...

15X12's all the way!! That way you are sure to get your moneys worth when you pay to have them mounted. Plus you get the low profile fast and furious look.

Kugel Components makes some pretty trick stainless clamps for the hardline. Not the cheapest, but definitely the most bling. http://www.kugelkomponents.com/products/clamps/clamps.html

Maybe Creasey's Offroad will do it for you. Ha ha ha. Just kidding. Don't call him. If you already have welders and tools and you want to work on your jeep yourself, this would be a good opportunity to learn some new skills. I would get some books or take a class and start practicing your...

I haven't owned a jeep product since I was in high school and that was a '55 Willys wagon, so I have a few questions. I was a Ford technician for five years and did independent stuff before that, so I am very familiar with fuel injection stuff, just not jeeps in particular. I am considering...

Yeah, definitely wait until you are all done welding before you fill anything with foam. I would probably even do a few shakedown runs before the foam, just in case something needed to be changed.

So this is what you used that 241 for. I knew I should have charged you more for it.:D I need to hang out with you more when you are doing cool stuff like this. I had no idea you had done all that stuff. Your jeep looks so innocent when it's just sitting in your driveway.

I don't know if you have started your cage yet, but I have been kicking around the idea of incorporating the cage into the actual unibody structure. i.e.: taking the plasma cutter to the A,B,C and D pillars and cutting out strip so the roll cage tubing can be welded into the structural part of...

Of course it rides nice; we were towing that's because you haven't been with me when we were jumping it

Ok, so I went ahead and bought the "cheap 12 inchers" which acutally ended up being 10 inch travel 2.5" Radflo shocks from Scott Creasey. See the classified section for that story. I was pretty upset, but I thought maybe I could make them work anyway. I talked to Ben Hanks for a bit at the...

Thanks for keeping me politically correct. Ya gotta watch out for that crap. You'll get slapped with a lawsuit if you call your dikes dikes and not alternative lifestyle side cutting pliers or something...

by the way-- did you get your truck home from Lehi? I will save those stubs for you. I picked up three sets of coil overs today. Probably going to get another set for Joe's weird electric crawler project too.

If it has a removeable top, it will be a two door. The four door models weren't available until later and those tops won't come off. If it were me, it would steer clear of the V6. They like to burn exhaust valves around 100k and they had a lot of head gasket problems. Get a 4 cyl 22RE. One...
