    Mopar Underground unveils new tuned up Jeeps at the Moab Jeep Safari '08

    I would like to see the engine and coil spring suspension of the black one in a 116" wheelbase model. Where do I sign the papers? Did they trick out any 4 door models? Those Hutchinson rubicon lookin wheels are sweet.

    90 YJ to SBC 350/T400

    The engine swap would be a lot easier to do with the axles and tires on the Jeep. Do the axles after the engine and transmission conversion.

    90 YJ to SBC 350/T400

    My friend, you have a lot of research to do before starting a project of this magnitude. Dana 60's never came in wagoneers. They are likely Dana 44's or Dana 44 front with model 20 rear. Either way they are not a very popular swap. The TH400 is a great transmission and I also run one, but...

    90 YJ to SBC 350/T400

    $1000 for what then? That can't include the axles you mentioned. A front 60 will be $1000 or more by itself. Buy your front 60 complete, because the brake parts and spindles and such will eat you alive if you have to replace them. I wouldn't spend more than $500 on a complete throttle body...

    Dewey State Bridge - Burned out of existence

    We had a historic train tressle burned down two years ago by a middle schooler who claims he was shooting roman candles. It's more likely that he burned it on purpose. The structure was about 8 to 10 stories high if I had to guess. It was made of creosote coated wood and burned hot and fast...

    Secret Lives

    Amsterdam rocks. Me and my buddies stepped off the train and one of the first things we saw was a man wearing only a thong and knee high rubber boots riding a green Pee Wee Herman looking bicycle. He looked at us like 'What are you looking at?' and my buddy says "Nice boots!" Priceless...

    brake lights are screwed!!!

    The switch has a threaded shaft. Disconnect the wire, screw the switch in until it is almost touching the brake pedal arm. Plug the wire back in and test it out. Follow the brake pedal arm up to the top, you'll see the switch. It will be pretty self explanatory then.

    Bounty is correct on the seals and the CCV likely being the root cause. I don't know of any engines that have internal seals on the crankshaft. You have a front seal on the timing cover and rear main and that is all. The crank is held in place by bearing caps that need oil to live. You...

    Come on now currupt, we need to Welcome the Dutch. I spent some time in the Netherlands back in 1997. Great people as a whole and were very hospitable to Americans. I went to Vriezenveen, Eygelshoven and several other small towns while there. Riksten, what town are you from?

    Yep, the switch is likely just out of adjustment.

    Has anyone...

    Not sure about the 4.0 specifically, but my the AMC V8's had a two piece rear main that you could replace by pulling the pan and the rear main bearing cap. I believe the front is a one piece that is mounted in the timing cover. You will have to pull the harmonic balancer to install the front...

    Best Place To Buy Gear Sets?

    You can find some good deals on the Chinese junk, but you get what you pay for. Personally, I would go Precision Gear or Dana. Make sure your installer knows what he is doing. A lot of folks think they can set gears by putting the same amount of shims that came out, back in. Each set is...

    Chrysler to offer a hybrid version of every vehicle

    I don't see how this marketing research company could possibly know what it costs to manufacture every type of vehicle they studied. It's not like auto mfg's are just going to hand over proprietary data like that. I'm getting a headache even thinking about all the numbers they would have to...

    8 people rescued from Angeles National Forest while illegally offroading

    I didn't see where it said they got airlifted. When I was in high school, they closed down areas of the nearby national forest to motorized traffic. We were told that the FS could write you a ticket and confiscate your vehicle. I never saw it in writing or heard of that happening to anyone...

    Price check!

    Ok, I understand the part about getting some help with the broken shock bolt. But, why would you want to replace a factory skid plate? Moreover, why would you pay someone to replace your skidplate? It's so easy a cave man can do it. Skid plates are made to get scratched and dented. Unless it...

    Chrysler to offer a hybrid version of every vehicle

    Are we assuming here that you cannot recycle a battery? I don't know a thing about recycling batteries, but would think that the plastic, lead plates and electrolyte could all be recycled and reused. Also, I read up on a company once before that had a product that made batteries inert or...

    Just a thread to kill time

    We are looking at a Hybrid to replace my wife's Avalanche. I figured up the savings at $950 a year at the current fuel prices.
