It's intriguing. Still waiting on a reply.

Wow. The rust is much. I still cannot see why it would not be an easy repair. This jeep can be repaired. People do body lifts all the time on jeeps. The body needs to be elevated about 3-5 inches to get in there and reinforce the frame. No need to put a new frame on it. from your pictures I can...

I sure would like to see pictures of it and what not so others can inspect their jeeps.

I will be watching this thread.

Corona del mar is in another county. With traffic the way it is in SoCal it's the traffic time during the week that kills commuting. 45 miles away equates to 90 plus minutes of travel. Ugh.

I would be sure that performance is gained over noise. Most factory motors are designed for some back pressure in them. Being loud may be bringing performance down. Besides, loud motors are only cool when you hear them screaming at 8000 + rpm :D

Where you located? And what about some pics? The repairs could be done and get low if you were not worrying about an exact factory look at the repairs. Sounds like a perfect off road toy to me. here in Cali I could get an easy 4K parting it out. Although, in reality, I would repair it or replace...

Posting for a friend. He bought an 86 jeep with a 92 4.0 EFI motor in it. Had all kinds of problems. Had a shop get everything fixed and it runs great now, problem is it runs so hot on the exhaust it melts cats. Any ideas what the issue could be? Shop seems to think the head was milled or...

I checked them out but they appear to be inactive for the most part based on their meeting attendance and run attendance in 2015. I recall a group that meets in corona at sizzler but cannot seem to locate the name. It's a long shot being on a nationwide website but keeping my fingers crossed...

Preferrably near me. I live in Corona which is the inland empire area. Any clubs out here? Or anyone around these parts looking to go wheeling? All my buddies are sand riders. Looking to change it up moving forward.

Where I sit in SoCal I can only think of two. the morongo sheriffs run and the Tierra Del Sol event. Not too far away is the Rubicon run and Moab. i am looking to expand my turf and hit up other events. Name events that happen around you that would be worthy of the drive to see.

Installed some additional lights for the night runs.

A Jeep is pure American like GI Joe. It's history has its place in many war vets. The difference in a Jeep and a Toyota is a time told argument.

My 05 tj 4.0 runs exactly the same spot in 50 degree weather or 110 degree weather. It is an auto trans as well. i put gauges on my trans for sending line and for pan. Also installed an external cooler, what a difference for the trans temp btw. Best thing I ever did.

The only thing I can see is the suspension articulation. That second pic seems to show a shackle that would not have enough rotation for the complete leaf spring stretch. Also, I don't seem to see a bump stop. I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with the setup per say, but for me I prefer a...
