FWIW observations: Projects have a way of expanding without prior intent. This will turn into something more complicated than it first looks, but you probably already know that. Changing the seating relationship requires more than lowering, and you are already part way there with the pedal...

Or, let me put it another way. My Jeep has a 5.0 Mustang V8. It came with 19 pound hour injectors running on 39 psi fuel pressure, vacuum regulated but not adjustable per se. Having changed everything on the motor except the crank and cam, I find I need a bit more fuel to provide the HP I can...

There is nothing magical about "mustang" injectors. They are a simple, typical automotive Bosch-style injector. The real question is whether the ones you have are working as they should. If they are, and if they don't deliver enough fuel, you must have made some serious modifications to your...

I have been using 102" whips off and on since 1976. Never bothered to tune one since they always fell into spec just as they are. Have had one on the race Jeep now for 7 years (one of the twins I originally mounted on my Ford F 150 in 1975, so it has been around the block) and it has: 1)...

For the general population, a small diesel would be fine, and probably not only well received, but better received than the V-6 currently offered in Wranglers. If I were looking at a Wrangler for a daily driver or a light duty trail rig, the diesel would be worth considering. I just personally...

For overlanding, per se, 32's are about all you need. If you can fit 33's without trimming and lifting, fine. Running anything larger than stock is going to have an immediate impact on driveability including fuel consumption, available power, alignment management, speedo errors, additional...

Verify back spacing, but likely the same.

Of all of the pickup concepts shown, to my eye the Nukizer is by far the best both in looks and in execution. As built, Dynapro axles, ARB's, Atlas II T-case, 38 inch tires, what else could you want in an off-road capable device? The build list looks remarkably like the build list on the car I...

FlexdXJ: Your photo illustrates my point about filtered round lights. While the bulk of the beam has been contained in a narrow band, your photo shows substantial dispersion in all directions, most importantly, above the beam center. This is not a cut off pattern, but rather a tightly...

Here's what I mounted on my Audi A6 Quatro to replace the rather bogus stock fogs: http://www.myhellalights.com/index.php/default/auxiliary-lamps/halogen-lamps/micro-de-series/ These are a true fog lamp built in a projector lamp style. But that's all they are, just fog lights. They will not...

I would agree with cnynrat on that one. A solid copper conductor would probably be your best bet for carrying a heavy load without generating excessive heat, but it would be a bugger to route such cable. I suggest arctic cable only because of its flexibility which is handy under the hood. But...

Well, not being familiar with your "specialist's" computer program, it would be hard to comment on what he was trying to accomplish, but let me guess, the program is intended to deal with stock drive lines, not custom creations. If you had a stock drive shaft, you would have two u-joints, one...

Couple of observations: Optima batteries are AGM-style (absorbed glass mat), not dry cells. You can find dry cells for drag racers and such, but they cost more than your mortgage, don't do as good a job in running winches and such because they don't cycle as freely, and I have never seen one on...

If you want fog lights, find a good set of fog lights. Lightforce lights are not fog lights, regardless of how bright they are perceived to be. Hella makes very good fog pattern lights. If what you want are driving lights for highway use, I would agree with the general consensus that round is...
