    Rock Krawler Rehab?

    I recently went from 36 bias swampers to 35 BFG MTs. The road performance was increased 100 fold. I would have gone to 33s but the 4.88s wouldn't allow it. The change definitely made the jeep more fun to drive. I don't know anything about heim joints but is poly the only answer? Every...

    I love my jeep.

    Okay , you win, dropping the gas tank 3 times in a month is pretty bad.:Wow1: My fuel pump is external, so moving mine wasn't too bad.

    I love my jeep.

    So for year or so my jeep has been getting just a little hot (215F) in the woods. On really hot days it would cause the jeep to vapor lock. If I poored water down over the fuel rail, it would fire right up. The radiator was new, So I tried the following: rerouted the fuel lines replaced...

    Oil Lanterns

    They are too fragile and messy for my taste. You can't beat the current LED lanterns that are available. Some are super bright, no issues inside a tent and long battery life. The gas lamps do have a cool factor:)

    Rover Gear and a Beer Rausch Creek part 1

    Looks like a lot of fun. I went there once on a Cerebal palsy charity ride. We took a stock TJ thru the glacial rock section. That was a hoot:smiley_drive:

    Fuel Bottle ????

    I agree with your premise in theory but if you have ever siphoned gasoline, you'd know that it's pretty hard to accidently drink very much fuel. Though aluminum poisoning could explain my nervous twitch:ylsmoke:

    Fuel Bottle ????

    A few years ago, I was using a MSR fuel bottle as a water bottle. The 1 liter aluminum water bottles at that time were 25-30 dollars. The MSR was only $15:)

    YJ Wrangler Expedition project

    A V8 conversion sounds like fun:smiley_drive: I swapped a 4.0 in place of my carburated 258. I have some diagrams scanned of the pin outs you need. Basically just 5 wires. If you want it, I'll try to find it.

    YJ Wrangler Expedition project

    I'd stay away from the round headlights. I helped my buddy do a CJ clip on his YJ. He ran into a lot of fitment issues, all can be resolved, but what a hassle. The biggest downside I think was the need for a fast and the furious open air filter. They have no place on an off-road vehicle...

    A new rack for my LJ

    The jeep looks great. I believe a paddling road trip should be executed as soon as possible to throughly test the new gear.

    Waking up a 360?

    I did a gibson catback on a 98 1500 dodge that improved the butt dyno feel and was not obscenely loud.
