jeep

This is more of a revival/upgrade deal than a full build. The original build of this Jeep was done by my dad in the early to mid 80's, briefly revived in the late 90's and it's sat since. I used to bug him here and there about getting it going or trying to buy it. He did younger, dumber me a...

It has been a long time since I set gears up in an AMC 20. When installing pinion, I could not pull bearing on far enough to make contact with the crush sleeve. New gear on left’s splines are not as long as old on right and yoke is physically bottoming out on splines before bearing makes contact...

Im wondering if any of you old school jeep guys have any experience upgrading to an OD trans . My jeep (84 grand wag) currently has amc 360 727 dana 300 +4:1 . Im more than happy with how it preforms off road for what it is ( land yacht) . Im running 4.56s with 38s right now (over geared...

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.0 Bought this jeep WJ to get me by while I built my Toyota. It was cheap had a 3' lift, brand new bfgs and leather/AC. Got it home and found out the cylinder head was cracked and the radiator was bad. Rebuild the top end and cooling system swapped wheels and...

I bought my 02 TJ about 10 years ago. During that time I've done the usual stuff, starting with a 2" budget boost and now I've got 14" ORIs, built 44 / 8.8, 37s, etc. It's always been a bit "tricky" to drive, even stock if you let the clutch out in 1st and just roll it would lightly bounce...

Just throwing this out there for you guys have have more skills, time, ambitions, tools than I do. Not mine and I know nothing about it or the seller. Just thought some may be interested. It's in Glouster OH. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/478742757445647/

Here its is. My first jeep. This will be to track my build for a 1-ton rock crawler. It's a 2004 TJ. It needs a lot of work but it has good bones. It came with 1-ton axles front and back, but the seller didn't know off of what. Axle BOM reads "4446A 610445 3". This website indicates its off...

Nothing new , LQ9 swapped TJ that I’m looking to make as cool running as possible. I’ve got a good radiator and fan which helped and the typical louvered hood but my intake air temps are higher than I want. The 6.0 is crammed and tuned with headers so it makes decent power and manages to do it...

I just picked up an old man owned 2005 LJ. It failed inspection for frame rot. It needs repair from the front trailing arms to the rear trailing arms. Who is everyone’s go-to for the repair parts? Safe-T-Cap, Rust buster, Pocono Metal Craft? There are super cheap ones on EBay and Amazon, but...

Jeep Wagoneer fans, Im looking for knowledge on replacing my AMC engine with a Vortec 7.4 (98'). I'm under the impression this is a Gen 6 454. My question to the group is will this fit in the engine bay of the 77 Wagoneer before I purchase the Vortec?

99 xj with waggy 44s. Acquired it mostly built a few months ago. Has some sort of heavy duty steering, and a psc hydro assist with the psc box. Finally got around to wheeling it yesterday and before I wheeled it, it drove beautifully. Left the off-road park and immediately almost put it in the...

My daughter's 08 JKU Rubicon apparently has a slight tendency for a death wobble at the same place on the interstate. Wife was driving it and texted me all freaked out after it did it her. (texted cuz I was in meeting). She assumed something broke. It was right before her exit so pulled off...

I’m working on a stretched YJ project and have been studying possibilities for the roll cage design. For those of you who built full cages for a YJ how did you position the b hoop (or b pillar support if doing an A to C type design)? The stock hoop has the funky bend and flattened tubing to...

So there I was…… I bought an m715 basketcase one day with no real plan for it. It had an engine in the bed, along with a bunch of other parts to make it go, that seemed like a start, so I started putting it together. It was approximately a chevy 250 engine with either the finest farm fab...

Hi all, So Irate4x4, guess I am dating myself but was looking for Pirate 4x4. Lurker Extraordinaire Anyways got a 2003 LJ here with a knocking motor, what years will swap in? I am under the impression that need a 2000+ motor - that correct? Others say that 1996+ and I am good to go.... Want...

So I've been doing a ton of research and still have a few questions. I have a 84 cj7 with the 258 tf99 and Dana 300. It's got a 44 front and 14b rear on 40s. 1. I'm trying to get rid of the stock t case skid and get a Barnes 2" drop one so I need to clock my t case. Does anyone on here sell one...

Not much of a build at the moment, but a documentation and a place to bounce ideas off of. Bought this for the wife, she likes jeeps and I'm going to own/work on something (YJ) I like too. Clean, low mileage (77k) 1992 4.0L that grandfather had, then gave to his grandson, who promptly blew it...

For a 1983 CJ7 with a mint 4.2L. Picked up a 7120 head, now I'm debating on going FI and dumping the MC2100. Figured I'd stay OBD1 for simplicity, avoiding canbus. I see mostly GCs in the junkyards, any issues pruning that harness? Using that fuel rail, TB, distributor, etc. I'd also want a...
