    Pole Barn build - updates

    Give Garrett Nichols a call @ 801-940-0047. He owns Beehive Buildings and does a lot of pole buildings. He built my 50x60x16 stick built shop/RV garage back in 2017. He's very consciensous of the work his guys do and is very fairly priced. Quality is second to none. I did have to babysit...

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    100% agree. I tried explaining that to the referee when I was researching several years ago. I told him that I can watch the little 3.8 liter go into power enrichment mode and dump the fuel into the engine where the larger V8 is going to sip fuel and lumber along under full fuel control. He...

    Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Hemi headed to production!

    It could definitely hamper the swap industry. However I think it is two different clientele. You have those who have to have the newest, latest and greatest and whatever the cost of the newest, latest and greatest they have to have it. Even if the Jeep runs in the $75k-$80k range. Then you...

    Thank you. Yeah, I kinda got beat up for having the marking left on the bolts so I had to address that.:oops: Mike

    Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Hemi headed to production!

    I hadn't heard those rumors about the crash testing with the JL/JT platform, just the JK platform. Were the same rumors out there for the JL/JT's? Maybe I've just been tone deaf with the new platform. As for pricing, define reasonable. Reasonable with most consumers these days is not in...

    I caught a little crap for leaving the ugly markings on the stainless steel bolts on my rear license plate mount, so last night I addressed that issue. Thanks for looking. Mike

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    I'm not disagreeing with your logic but the way the laws are written by adding a "hot rod" wiring harness it is in fact enough to make a vehilce non-compliant with USEPA guidelines. IF the referees were to do their job correctly they shouldn't let it pass on a 1996 or newer vehicle. Luckily...

    DF Goblin Build

    Just saw this. Great build. You're going to love that power to weight ratio. My sandrail had about 360hp in a 1200 pound car and was an absolutle handful to drive but what a rush...... Mike

    Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Hemi headed to production!

    I'm sure the price tag will cause pause for many but the fact that they are putting this engine in the Wrangler platform is a huge step. I know the JK platform couldn't pass the crash testing with the Hemi in it but if you've had a chance to look at the JL/JT you can see many upgrades that are...

    Jeep The RME4x4 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon

    Good to hear Greg. How's the power and driveability been with those 37's and no regear? Mike

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    True, but more importantly it keeps the car USEPA compliant. This is why I don't understand why there are so many people putting the incorrect powertrains into their newer JK's. I know cost is a factor but by doing so they are in essence turning their street legal Jeep into a trailer queen...

    Jeep LS swap for the LJ

    Yeah, the GEN III and older versions are quite a bit less expensive, especially with the 4-speed transmissions but still a very good powertrain. I'm blown away by the number of people installing LS2 and other GEN III powertrains into their JK's. To keep it period correct for USEPA...

    ZMotorSports 2011 JKUR Build Thread

    Nothing hi tech at all but I had a few minutes before my wife arrived home from work last night so I machined a couple of stainless steel spacers and cut down and threaded a couple of 1/2”-20 stainless bolts for the license plate mounting on my Jeep. That looks nicer and should withstand...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Oh, I have a lot of questions as well. I'm just not sure I want to hear the answers. Some things just can't be un-heard or forgotten.:rofl: Mike

    Thanks. I guess that's one career choice that never even crossed my mind. That may be something to consider, IF they still offered shop classes in school. Mike
