1068636 Duuno about the 31's.. I put a full skyjacker lift (3in.) and 31 x 10.50 general MT's on my 96 xj and they rub pretty good at full stuff.. they actually measure out to 30 inches high so you may want to consider the 30's.[addsig]

1068650 I live between erwin and jonesborough right near the watering hole where 81 and 107 split unfortunately my cj is still in the building phase but my xj is fairly worthy. You may have sen the xj around it is in erwin a lot, white 96 with black rock crawlers and 31 x 10.50 w a 3" skyjacker...

1068872 The 2.5 is a fine motor, it is a bit lacking in the high HP dept. but it will be fine as long as you take it easy on the tire size and don't plan on some high speed. If you do go to a larger tire keep in mind that you will need lower (higher numerically) gears in order to keep from...

1068941 One more simple qanswer is to use a bleeder kit that pumps fluid in from the slave cyl (or caliper) UP to the master, these are relatively inexpensive (like $35 at autozone) and work like a charm. Waaay less mess and there is no way to have residual air in the system if you are pushing...

1069148 There are a few ways to get around this one.. the easiest is to call novak or advance and get the adapters you need however like in a previous post that v-8 is gonna be rough on the rest of the drive line, especailly the transmission, dunno which jeep you are talking about but either...

1069149 I am afraid I have to agree with tug here... the 33's are just to big without a good 4" of lift or better, even 31's will rub some but you may get away with it, besides tearing fenders off you need to look at the gearing issue, 33's are a lot of tire for a 2.5 with stock gears...

1069150 This all depends on the year/model of your jeep.... BUBBA[addsig]

1069151 This is surely a postal jeep, more commonly reffered to in the jeep world as the DJ (Delivery Jeep?) or the "Dodge Jeep" or "Dork Jeep" or "Door Jeep"... etc... haha.. Take a look in the last few issues of JP magazine and they are building one.. BUBBA[addsig]

1069154 Ya gotta be mopre specific, year, model etc.. may not seem it to the unenlightened but there is a huge difference in jeeps depending on year as far as the good/bad and parts availability so be careful.. If you are a first time jeep dude I would reccoment you stick to the TJ/YJ, assuming...

1069155 Dunno if you have seen this before but Tug is getting together an impromptu jeep jam in the end of june.. we are in Erwin, TN area right across the border from asheville NC... drop tug a line and he can tell ya more.. BUBBA[addsig]

1069157 Go get your self a good set of plug boot pliars, they are made to remove just such things, then buy a GOOD set of plug wires from like MSD, ACCEL, Mallory (my personal choice) or taylor, not the $15 POS from autozone.. the difference in resistance is amazing.. by like a factor of 10...

1069297 Bounty has the right idea, I have been using redline for a few years in all of my vehicles gear boxes with wonderful results, redline MTL has worked wonders for the XJ as well as my miata which has a great shifting transmission but wow what a difference the MTL made. I also checked...

1069300 Yup you can supercharge any engine, even you 3 HP Briggs if you know what you are doing. BUt without boring/stroking/blowing or any of that.. well ok an overbore may be necessary for the rebuild.. anyhow the 258 can be a beast with some good old fashioned hot rodding. Look at it like...

1069305 Oh and for the details.. lets see, like some one said go with a 93 and up 4.0 head, have the ports cleaned up DO NOT ENLARGE THE PORTS just clean it up, get a nice 3 angle valve cut, get pistons that will bring your static compression ratio up to right about 9 - 9.5 and a decent cam...

1068631 I heard a rumor today at the NAPA that there is going to be an impromptu jeep jam up near Erwin, Tn. Can anyone confirm this or is it just a dream I had? BUBBA[addsig]
