Need info on a rack for my '87 YJ to carry a cargo basket and a couple of kayaks. I'm only running a bikini top right now, but would also like it to work with a hard top. Any info is appreciated!

Awesome build! Really like the JK's, but I try not to look at them because I'm holding out for a diesel model. Your making it tough with pictures like that. :chowtime:

Looks like I really opened a can of worms I was leaning towards a SOA before my post mainly because I found someone locally would do it for me for around $500. How much abuse are we talking concerning axle wrap with the SOA? I'm not a hardcore 4 wheeler (rockcrawler), so I won't be testing...

I've got an 87 Jeep Wrangler that I want to put some height under. Looking for info on which route I should take Ex. Suspension Lift or SOA? Do you do both, or do the serve the same purpose? Understand SOA can limit the ride quality, so I don't mind spending the extra pennies for the...

Main reason I like this forum is because everyone's always willing to provide good advice. Unlike some others where you get slammed for asking a simple question. Grim, I'm about 25 miles southeast of Macon. (out in the sticks) Still drive to work in the city, but in got too crowded for me...

Thanks for all the info. I've decided to take the stock 22RE to my local engine builder for a rebuild. Probably go with a more aggressive cam and header. Any other upgrades yall recommend?:Mechanic:

I've got a 1985 Toyota truck 4x4 with a 22RE motor that has developed an oil leak, so I plan to replace all the seals for the short term, but I'd like to do a rebuild in the future. I've been searching for a spare motor and have come across a few 22R's. Will the parts swap between the 2 motors...

I've got my rebuilt 4.2 coming back in a few weeks and I was plannning on swapping on a 4.0 head. Do they use the same head bolts? Anyone done the swap? Problems? Any info is appreciated!

Awesome! Yall made memories that will last a lifetime.

Nice set up! Looks comfortable. I'd like to have something like that, so I can tow my boat and still have a place to camp without tenting or sleeping in the bed.

Not sure of the bolt pattern, but it seems like based on the info provided that the 8.8 or Dana 44 may be a better swap for my level of experience. Thanks all for the help!

Agree, but the railing just seems to add an extra level of security being on top of the vehicle. (Plus I think it looks cool) Hoping the aluminium will save weight if I add to it. I'm thinking the tabs used from hanging on the bed should be able to be used to mount some lights.

Cool idea! I've got one of those laying around that I haven't used in years since I got a trailer for my 4-wheeler. I'll just need to weld a 3 or 4 inch frame around the top to keep the stuff from falling off.

Nice rig! Looks like your well ahead on the game already.
