1055054 I believe Venom makes an off road nitrous kit, a few of my ricer friends told me I needed it. I promptly threatened to park on their hoods. 8-) [addsig]

1055060 The 4.2 can be true dueled, because it goes from 6 to 2, and then another piece from 2 to 1. The 4.0 doesn't have the same set up, but could be done with a set of custom headers.[addsig]

1055064 Rockcrawler started the same way many things have, "I bet you can't make it." Its the thrill of going to places a vehicle shouldn't be able to go. [addsig]

1055084 Go ahead and do it, more power to you (no pun intended :-D ). I'm just a fan of "all throttle, no bottle"[addsig]

1055085 Its just a lil cleaner, if you're into that sort of thing. :lol: [addsig]

1055358 I'd rather have someone like that in my passenger seat than what I usually have, a dumb teenager that is there for the ride. I'd rather have someone that is cautious and understands offroading , than "Yeah man you can make it" followed by us wadding through mud for an hour getting...

1055406 I've had a few bad ones. Hours wadding in below freezing water, and whatnot. But the worst had to happen when my friend took his cargo van mudding one day, yes cargo van. He was only about six inches deep in mud when I got there. My TJ couldn't even move him, so I had to get my CJ-5...

1055413 With a 4 banger pushing 42's, you need to be light as possible, the driveshaft just had to go. :lol: [addsig]

1055846 Tug, that Jeep in Murfreesboro was a good one!! I met the guy who owned it, really nice guy. I offered him my TJ and first born son for it and he still refused. :lol: [addsig]

1056493 I've never done it to a XJ, but since they're attached like all other car doors, I have done something similar. We took the doors off a 87 Dodge Raider. We used bolt cutters to remove the pins. We originalls were going to use clevis pins to hold the doors back on later, but (now it...

1056495 I ripped mine off one day on the trail because it was in the way, while making a repair. I replaced it with a five horn set that plays dixie. :lol: [addsig]

1056611 It took about 30 minutes to take the doors off, and most of that was figuring out what we had to disconnect. Our idea was to get four long narrow clevis pins to replace the bolt that held the doors to the body, but we couldn't find any long enough so we were going to use eight small...

1056712 Great survey, but someone has to say it: You have a little too much time on your hands. :-D [addsig]

1056831 Sad stories, theres a guy in my neighborhood with a 75 CJ-5, it just sits in his garage. He runs in once a week, it runs pretty stong. He does minor work to it. It needs a paint job. Wait.....that guy is me! I feel for you, I was once in that same position, can only hope that one day...

1056925 DO NOT get the four banger with 33 inch tires, unless you regear. The four banger won't die even if you try to kill it, but it's still underpowered. If you're used to the 6 cylinder, the 4 banger will seem a lil wimpy. My top speed with 33's is 75mph, without regearing. I plan to go...

1056927 Go with the M/T, the A/T's become racing slicks with a lil mud. They pack too easy. I know a few guys running them.[addsig]

1057353 I took the carpet outta my TJ over a year ago, but I had too put it back in :-x last month because the lady folk have something agianst scratched up, loud floors. [addsig]

1057382 This is a long shot, but they might have swapped in a 232. It is identical to the 258. I don't really think anyone would swap in an engine with less HP but it's still a possibility.[addsig]

1057401 Jeeper84 is right, the frame is a lil long for a CJ-5. TJ's don't have independant suspension, and I hope no Jeep ever will.[addsig]

1057408 Only ones I can think of are the military Jeeps.[addsig]
