Picked up a salvaged 95 YJ to rebuild with my boy for his first vehicle. He’s 13 now, so we have a couple years to get it going.
The frame ended up being tweaked so we picked up a replacement. The plan is a 5.3, 4l60e, np231, 8.8 for the rear. Small lift with some cutting for 35s. CJ swap...
Good afternoon guys!
I have followed many over awhile back and have just been to busy to share. I have had this swap up my sleeve for a year or two with a majority of the work done this last winter to make to have it completed for a shop trip to Moab. As I have been dragging my feet to build...
Toyota and suzuki have a parts swap thread. Looking for parts or stuff that's available. Seems that the classifieds here are pretty quiet.
Well it worked, box is sold!
I bought an 01 2wd XJ from a co worker for $300. Here's the caveat, there's no engine. I have a buddy with a 99 TJ engine, and i can get all the brackets from the JY local to me. the question is, with the 99 TJ engine bolt in to the 01 XJ. or do I have some shopping to do?
My stock frame side TB bracket was cracked in two spots and pulling away from the frame on the rear side of the mount. For a few reasons, I opted to have it cut out and a Barnes double shear bracket welded in. I have come to learn that the Barnes bracket is not the same depth as the stock...
This is my attempt at a build thread, but since I'm not usually the best at remembering to take pictures we'll see how that goes. Nothing revolutionary or too hardcore going on here. Mainly just posting this to learn from others and ask questions.
I was originally going to call this my...
Got a 98 TJ that we occasionally flat tow behind our RV. It works great BUUUUT... Nearly every time I do, it smells like the serpentine belt is burning when I go to unhook it from the back of the RV. Everything else seems to be fine and it fires right up and runs down the road with no issues...
I need to repower my Unimog and I’ve been going around in circles about the best way to go about it. The stock M180s was tired, so I bought a new one because it was available. Then I sold that one sold when I scored an hard-to-get Mercedes M130. It has twice the M180's power and is somewhat...
So decided to paint the frame this weekend. Went a little above and beyond and pulled the axles. Might as well give them some paint to while they’re out. I need to replace the control arm bushings anyways. I used Eastwood rust reformer and 2k chassis black. Looks new again
I have an 05 TJ. Trans goes into forward and reverse. Transfer case goes into all gears fine. But when I transfer my rubicrawler into low it’s like the vehicle is in neutral. Drives when rubicrawler is in high fine. Trans fluid is topped off and good. Not completely sure what’s going on looking...
I’m trying to solve my overheating issue on my 3.6l JK motor. By “overheating” I mean climbing into the high 230s on heavy grades. I’ve cut the vents out on my 10A hood and installed an aftermarket aluminum radiator. Maybe some of it has to do with my winch blocking some of the grill, but a new...
Trying to decide what to do with the POS JKUR.
So far its been plagued with CELs of various sorts constantly.
Im strongly considering doing an LS swap in the thought that I can just get rid of the POS Chrysler/Fiat whomever electrical bullshit, get some more power out of it as well. Im not...
Omfg! So I'm helping out a buddy with 2013 JKU that has had over 100k dumped into it and 4 or 5 POS shady shops half-assed it all along the way.
Just picked it up from a fab shop where it sat for the past 19 months. Only thing he was supposed to do was a full hydro setup cause the half-assed...
A friend of mine saw this at the PA Jeeps show, took some pictures but the owner wasn't present.
This says 'assembly line', but I'd be surprised if that was really the case.
Seems pretty nicely done, however it was done. Quick google search didn't turn up anything. Cool to look...
I found a Jeep I've been wanting for a long time, and bought it. a Bullnose Commando. Plans are a V8, Tons, links and CO's up front, Leafs out back, and either 37's or 40's.
A little rust repair is in order first, then, on to the cool stuff.
Looking for yays or nays and pics of what yall have done.
The air bags were popped on my LJ when I got it. I found a steering wheel center in local yard and popped it on... done and fine.
For the dash one I'm thinking to just do an aluminum cubby. But I'm torn between an upper glove box or...
So onto the next problem to overcome in my build. Originally, my TJ was linked, but not stretched and had normal shocks and coils. I had a 2.25" exhaust made by a local muffler shop that cleared everything and exited in the normal factory location.
Now that I've stretched it 4" back and added...
