Nice 'Burb! I wouldn't worry about mileage if that's a desert truck, especially if it's obvious someone loved it. That 6.0L will run forever, and if the trans got regular service, it shouldn't have issues either. If the trans hasn't already been rebuilt, I'll warn you that the typical...

Pretty sure they actually produced those... They were called TJ's... :)

It's pretty easy to change the metering rods on an Edelbrock. Pull yours and figure out what size they are. Order a set several sizes larger. That effectively plugs up the metering passage and leans it out. Should be fine to 5000' or so as is, then swap the rods to lean it up when you get to...

Anything that ties your aux tank to your factory tank is going to be an issue for newer emissions systems. Specifically, you're going to have to tie the vents together and otherwise seal the aux tank so the leak detection pump can pressurize and check both tanks. Ie, the aux tank vent MUST...

FWIW, a 13,000lb winch (??) as a "portable" winch might be a bit much... Even my "little" 9000lb Warn on a multi-mount was pretty heavy... I suppose synthetic cable drops a bit of weight, but it would be my opinion that you do not need or want a 13,000lb winch for a portable recovery winch...

Just as I was going to toss the BS flag on the field, Broncobowsher sets it straight... I suggest using welding wire for the run as it's pure copper and has a nice tough jacket. According to charts on the internet, 1/0 is good for 350A, 2/0 should handle 400. I've used 1/0 on most of my...

Nothing in the compendium or the letter to subaru owner that suggests the NPS thinks about lockers. Only mention of that is speculation in the article written by Jalopnik... I read everything they write while keeping in mind that most of them are enthusiasts, but also generally pretty...

This is correct, but do you really need such low gearing in normal use? I suspect the answer is that 17:1 is plenty low for most use. Look at it this way... In the 70's, a Chevy with a TH400 and a 203 or 205 transfer case had a lowest ratio, assuming 3.73 gears, of 18.6:1. That's barely...

I feel for the agencies that are tasked with "keeping people safe", which is obviously a losing battle these days, and likely the main reason for this decision. I've come to the point where I can no longer condone legislation intended to protect the stupid from their own stupidity. I suspect...

If you have a new enough car, the junkyard spares idea is a great budget opportunity assuming you can find a matching set of full size spares!! The other thing I do is once I start thinking about tires, I watch the size I want for Blem opportunities on Ebay... Lots of reputable tire stores...

I would guess those spacers make you need a lift even more, as the tire now swings a bigger arc when you steer... I saw you asked earlier about a body lift... Hopefully by now you have noticed that your van is technically unibody, making a body lift impossible... FWIW, I always tell people...

I don't think the H2 axle will bolt into a half ton burb, only the 3/4 ton. I would guess that the brackets and geometry are different, and I know the control arms are different... I don't know that you're going to find an H2 axle cheap either... ??? Also, given that the hybrid axle...

Turns out we salt the roads in Colorado too but you don't see the rotted vehicles here... I suspect it's because our humidity level is dang near zero most of the year... I have friends in MI that have kept older trucks. The secrete is not to let mud build up and hold salt in places that...

I'm pretty knowledgeable about GMT800 but I had to google AXN axle... So that's the six lug 14 bolt Semi-floater 9.5" axle with smaller axles and wheel bearings that came on SS and Max package trucks. I don't think either of those packages were available on the Tahoe or Burb, so I'm not sure...

Generally, if your shocks allow you to have acceptable handling with no sway bars, I would consider them WAY over-damped, at least on the low speed end, which usually translates to overdamped high speed control as well, even if they promote them as digressive... (Difficult to have that...

My experience with Bilstein shocks is that they're great for thrashing a vehicle hard without bottoming as much, but they're horrible for washboard or cobble roads. I would call them generally over-damped for most vehicles... OME had the best setup, but really f'd up their valving with the...

235/85R16 Hercules Terra Trac II's. Getting a little long in the tooth but still doing well. (Hole in the rock trail, UT)

I was in the same boat last year as my Mastercraft CXT's were wearing down... I bought a set of Delinte Bandit CX-10's. They seem to be wearing well, are 3PMS rated, and have pretty good tread depth. They are much quieter than the CXT's and snow performance definitely better. If you can get...

My wife and I visited Baja for two weeks in 2016 (I think...). We took the advice of a few people we met at OE... Cross the border and go one day south as quickly as possible without stopping for anything if you can. We were told to get to San Filipe (AKA Saint Phillip because there are a...

Though the OEM TJ clutch did drop from 10-1/2" dia to ~9" in around 2000, all the aftermarket clutches forTJ's of all years use a 10-1/2" clutch and applications say '94-2006. I think that's probably what you're after so don't be confused if you don't find the exact year range you were given...
