    4 burner no power

    I don't know if it was changed as soon as they ditched the 2.5 for the 2.4 or not.

    . I attached a couple of pictures of the bracket and the quick disconnects, you can see where I deleted the mid bar for the time being as well as where I made my pivot point. I may change both of those features but for now it works very well and doesn't balloon up any more than before.

    Actually with the 2.4l that he has axle gearing was 3.73 with the manual 6 speed. My buddy has an '05 with that same setup.

    So far it doesn't balloon up any more than before I modified it. What I did was delete the center bar that runs up to the header. I cut that bar near the end of the door surround and drilled a hole on each surround and bolted my bracket to the surrounds. I may modify and reinstall part of that...

    I will when the rain stops lol. I don't think it will be too much worse than a standard top

    My latest project is my $0.75 sun rider top. My buddy had an extra top floating around his attic that his wife wanted gone. It's still in really nice shape and it's been doing the job but I wanted to make a sun rider version, all I had to do was cut off part of the bow sections. I made two...

    Thank you for the compliment. I do what I can, and I try to spend the money on it wisely. It also doesn't hurt that I have a girlfriend who likes the jeep as much as my son does, lol. The boatsides were a gift from her.

    Well I've got a few more odds and ends I should post up. Did ball joints the last couple of evenings, that was a lot of fun. Used alloy USA ball joints, I wish I would have googled them before I installed them. Didn't realize they have a break in time approaching 500 miles before the wholly...

    2008 wrangler drifting

    Is your jeep lifted? If so how much and what is the conditions of your parts? A picture or three is worth a lot in this case. Escpecially of your front axle and steering, also the control arms mainly the bushing (or joints if aftermarket). Alignment specs also change if your jeep isn't stock.

    Rough country 3 in suspension lift kit

    The "drops" are a metal spacer that go between your transmission cross member and in your case your unit body. With a Cherokee and the longer rear drive shaft you should be ok as far as not needing a sye. Now if you want a stronger setup overall a sye is hard to beat. I prefer a true sye (insert...

    My latest project has been some boatside rockers. My reason for boatsides over standard rock sliders was two fold, firstly I had rust in the rockers that I was going to have to address, secondly it gives me much more clearance without a stupid high lift. It isn't for the faint of heart lol, but...

    New Project 1985 CJ7 - 1st item = Seat belts

    The easiest solution to add rear seat shoulder harness' would be to grab a roll bar from a 93-95 yj (I think 92 was a transional year where some had the fast back cage and some had the family cage). It should be pretty much bolt in for a cj7.

    It is, I used one of the factory air box mounting holes. If it looks like it's going to give me fits I may weld a washer on for additional strength. Thanks for the complement on the bracket it's nothing fancy.

    Not with the size of the air box I used. It's 6.5" od , that limited my mounting locations. At the time that I ordered it the smaller diameter boxes were back ordered and I thought I was going to start this project much sooner. Actually it isn't is bad as it looks from the picture nothing is...

    Sorry for the jumbled pictures I'm not used to this phone. My overall cost (counting the parts I used) is right around $275. Not dirt cheap but not $400 like arb (plus the intake isn't ran super low and the snorkel isn't hanging off the side of the jeep) and not $650 like the river raider kit...
