    Your favorite Non Comercial Mod's.

    Moved my Oil pressure and Water temp gauges to the left of the steering wheel on a 20% angled trim piece so they actually face me instead of my knees. made my own 1/8 plate brushed aluminum dash plate to cover the existing holes and around the odometer. Have parts need...

    They've scrapped the Scrambler & stretched the Wrangler

    That IS funny, but not quite what I meant by that. But mainly the wimpy smooth bodied car look. Not a rugged truck or utilitarian style body. We all know how I feel about the TJ in genral. But I feel the Scrambler neeeeds to be a rugged looking tough man truck. (More Australian/desert style)...

    They've scrapped the Scrambler & stretched the Wrangler

    My opinion on the matter is pretty blunt. But if they make the scrambler a smooth wimpy looking street version they won't sell to those who "WANT" a scrambler in the first place. Huge mistake. A four door stretched wrangler?? Maybe someone will like them. I can't wait for this SUV trend to...

    What type of TRUCK should I buy?

    How young is too young for a jeep? Yea the Dodge still has solid axles on it but their coil springs are weak. (I think I have heard that mention before.......hehehe) Throw a 8.5' snow plow on one and it barely can lift it off the ground. One tons have leafs and no f*#king CV...

    What type of TRUCK should I buy?

    I would have to say I have owned a ton of vehicles. I always hated Dodge for various reason but I bought a 92 Dodge Dakota w/ a snow plow one year. I beat the snot out that thing and after three years with only the neutral safety switch going out I was damn impressed. I have owned Chevy's and...

    Winches?

    Oooooooooooooooo jealousy!!!!!! I had one on my 79 F-150 and I kick myself for selling it with the truck. :x (The 8274's weren't always that exspensive. That 1k unit is a remake) As far as working (Daily use)winches it's well worth the grand. The hydrolic and pto set ups are the only thing...

    CJ 7 mods

    Even on an 82 model?? Is that due to the 300 transfer case?? If so that would wrap up any debate with myself whether I have a 20 or a 300 case. The T-18 is awesome for all things. But be warned it is loud especially pulling hard in third. (Audable tach :D ) Shifts are long throws. But there...

    rocker gaurds idea

    Simple, get a bit taller piece like 6x4 or 8x4 if you can fit it below the door sill. Then trace out a sillohette of a mountian range.

    pro comp mt's vs at's

    Unless you have a buddy with the stud tool nobody will stud them after you have driven on them. But I noticed they are "siped" and will probably be fine in the snow. Most mud tires are not siped which is were the opinion comes from for being lame in the white stuff. Think of sipes as little...

    Minimum clearance between radiator and fan cluth

    You've already heard my story about it. The center of my fan were a fan clutch would be is fine. But the fan blades sit about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch away, and that is NOT far enough. The flex in the motor mounts under full load, or a severe bounce under load and she will eat that radiator to...

    urban camo

    I don't really understand the Urban Como thing, But I think it would look rockin on a Jeep!!! The Snow camo (vehicles) in Southeast Alaska is similar to basic camo but they add white. So it is white/black/olive/brown. It also looks cool. Their winter gear they wear is mainly all white. Another...

    3/4 Eliptical Rear

    Simply clamp the elip.spring to the frame when your "on road" and it's back to stock. You could add a small shock to aid the bounce if you ride a lot of fast trails with un bolted too. Most of your limitation comes from the shocks (usually the only limiter) So make sure they are going to extend...

    AMC 20 fill plug question Gadget Gadget,....Some of the best engineering comes from, "Hold my beer and watch this!!!" Now add a anti-scald valve and another pump with cold water supply and it would always be the perfect temp. :lol: Honestly digging the hole is the stopping point for me. I...

    wheeling thru rivers and streams

    All perfect advice. I have been in water over the front fenders and made it through about 35 yards. You know a crossing I have never done, middle of the night no other rigs in sight. :roll: Can you say DUMBA$$. I made it with no problems even with a non fan clutch fan. I was amazed how much...

    Bounty my man

    I have plowed a lot and can tell you go with a limited slip/posi only. A locker or even a "Tight" posi can cause headaches. Hard turning, binding which forces wide turns. Sliding sideways with even a light load due to both wanting to slip. You'll find yourself having to steer with the blade...
