Just an update. NO work on the stretch has been done because of the flooding in Colorado and my work calling in all hands to help out. (Work on an ambulance as an EMT.) WILL get to it next weekend even if I have to take several vacation days to get it done. Bacon

Yes I agree that this thread is worthless without pics! I should be able to post some this weekend. Bacon

Finally after almost 2 years of lurking on many technical forums, collecting parts, drawing up and scratching out plans just to redraw them I have FINALLY started my stretch project on my YJ!!!!! It currently/was sitting on Fabtech 3.5 inch lift springs SUA in their stock position. It did very...

A Yakuza styled Jeep. I hate to say it but I like 1 or 2 of the graphics, but all of them together seems trashy. Bacon

There is starting to become greater and greater aftermarket support for the turbos. The 4 cylinder is happy at higher RMPs, so lag shouldn't be a problem with how the 4 cylinders wrap up fairly quickly and turbos offer good torque without the minor parasitic power loss a super charger is known...

Hmm, per the link it says there is an optional 2.8L Common Rail Diesel. Here is hoping Jeep puts it into the rest of their Wranglers! Bacon

Warn has their VR winches. They are fairly nice, good cheap intro winch and come in 8k, 10k and I think 12k ratings. I picked up the 10k for my YJ for 400 or so. I have only used it once to winch my dead Jeep into the garage when we moved and I can say it did a great job pulling! Lol. Keep...

Nice area, looks fun. Bacon

Any chance you can pull the manual computer too? Not sure if they would be a simple swap such as, plug and play. Bacon

It should bolt up. You will need the entire clutch assembly (pedal, Master, ect). Bacon

The 14bolt has a support bearing for the pinion which will keep the pinion from walking up/down the ring gear while under load. Bounty is right about shaving and if needed machining the ring gear for greater clearance. Ballistic Fabrications offers a weld-on shave kit. 14 Bolt Shave Kit I...

Looks like fun! Come to Colorado for a Tough Mudder (June 15thish). It is is in Beaver Creek. The elevation is killer. Bacon

The goes like a bat out of hell off the line with the 420 torque but is... lacking at higher speeds with the low hp. Would still LOVE one though. Bacon

Mocked up the new front suspension design. Axle will be pushed 6 inches forward, frenched 4 inches into the frame, in a SOA configuration. Next project is to mock up the rear but keep it SUA to help reduce axle wrap. Bacon

Check your local salvage yards for prices and stock. In Denver any transmission can be pulled for a 100 bucks in some of the yards. BUT it may be hit or miss on both inventory and durability/condition. Bacon

Everyone here in Colorado has been doing the Craft Beer dance for awhile. It is wonderful and Mmmm Mmm good Bacon

Bah, I r read guuud. 50 psi fuel pressure not boost. :crazy: Bacon

50psi?!?! holy crap that is a ton of boost! Bacon

Hi all, I am in the process of stretching my YJ's wheel base and have come across a dilemma. I picked up a set of Grand Wagoner front springs to do a SOA in the front of the YJ. Will be frenching the springs into the fame to keep a lower center of gravity and pushing the shackle point forward...
