    Know anything about snowmobiles?

    Last year you could have gotten one for 1200, I'd pay upwards of 1700 or maybe a little more if it was a clean machine. A V-max4 is one huge pissed off sled. They're heavier than crap but they move faster than most newer sleds I know. It has a four cylender engine, it's really more like two...

    It lets air go one way but not the other.

    has anyone ran thornbirds ?

    I had T-birds when I was young and dumb. Then I went to bfg mudds and I was so blown away with how much better they were. The T-birds were 31's and the bfg's were 33's but the jeep was actually faster with the 33's since they're so much lighter. Plus I break less shafts. I love the BFG's...

    lift options for a 96 bronco?

    Tuff Country is local, if you can get them to sell you a kit that's going to be the most cost effective. I think they stoped selling to the public though. Their the number one rated lift kit manufacturer for Fords.

    Stolen!! 5, 37" Super Swamper tires

    This kind of thing really pisses me off. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled. How long ago were they taken?

    97 G.Cherokee Lift Problems - HELP

    Older tera arms have been known to do that before they upgraded to a fine thread. If that's the case power brake the vehicle and have someone watch the arms. It's a little easier than having someone drive after you.

    97 G.Cherokee Lift Problems - HELP

    I think it's a squishy lifted jeep suspension thing, just something's making it worse. I can't think of what would make it that bad though, that's something you'll wanna take to Mepco and have a mechanic take it for a ride or something. They know the characteristics of lifted jeeps pretty well.

    XJ Flex

    HOLLY Shiz Mark! Look at your post count! I yanked my sway bar and didn't notice much a difference at all. Usually if you've lifted it you've installed a heavier shock and they seem to make up for it. Anyway, that swaybar's so dinky it's not doing much for you anyway. Rip that mother off...

    97 G.Cherokee Lift Problems - HELP

    I don't know. Is there a power difference? Brad's is a 5.9, I've heard of others that have done it. Maybe they're the V8's with more torque? :confused: ? Check the sway bars, make sure they're there and on good angles. Check the shocks for issues. Maybe he could try some stiffer springs.

    97 G.Cherokee Lift Problems - HELP

    What happened with the shocks? Did he get new ones with the kit or get them somewhere else? It gets pretty excessive on those grands. Brad's will twist enough to pick the inside tire up if you're turning.

    What cleanes/degreasers/solvents do you use?

    I buy Wal Mart carb cleaner by the box. It's like .70 cents a can or something like that. I steam cleaned my bike yesterday. I don't know what chemical they use but this stuff was amazing, just spray it on, leave it a few minutes and everything comes right off. I should find out what...

    I just talked to Ben. He still has the mold so he can make more hoods. $400 he said.

    You're right, he does look funny in those pics. That doesn't look like him.

    Is something wrong with my Lockrite?

    The springs are fatiqued on mine so it locks up extra easy on me. I would guess since yours is locking easliy that it's not the teeth, you can pick up a pin/spring kit at Mepco for like ten bucks. That should solve some problems for ya.

    -He's the man when it comes to welding know-how. I'd listen to him.

    Welded spiders in 8.25

    I'd say go for it. You're probably alright if you don't bounce too much.

    Welded spiders in 8.25

    We might want to know what size and brand of tire you're running. Most likely if you've run locked you should be fine. Most guys fill in some teeth, then weld the spider to the inside of the carrier. Why they fill in the teeth, I don't know. :confused: I'd say nothing over 35's, you might...

    rear axle options

    I've got 15's on my 14ff, the calipers are ground a bit and they barely (and I really mean barely) clear. It is doable though. Very cheap too. I'd look into a 9 like the others said, if you're going to sink money into an axle that's the one I'd do, it's a heck of a lot lighter than a 60 and...
