    Are you lookin to changed the whole exhaust system or just change the muffler? If you just want different tone you can measure your muffler and just order one the same size to replace it. If you want the whole system done take it to an exhaust shop and then you can have it built with which ever...

    New exhaust for my 88 Wrangler

    If you can afford it I dont think anything sounds better than borla. but for good sound and not real expensive try magnaflow as well. I think there website has some soundbites. I have five inch magnaflow on my cummins and I love it. It also sounds good on a few of my buddies chevys.

    Spend or save??

    I've spent money on my jeep this year like its goin out of style. Spent thousands trying to get it rebuilt only to tear it down to the frame when it was almost "done". Now i get to put a few more thousand in it.

    302 ford fit in my 89 yj.

    I really doubt the transmission behind your 4 cylinder (ax5) will hold up to even a stock 302. If it were me I would probably get a t18 and a 205 out of an older ford and just swap the whole drivetrain. And youve still gotta deal with getting the efi wired in and a fuel system to run it. It will...

    Bolt broken

    You may also wanna try a left handed drill bit on your broken bolt. A lot of times just drilling the bolt will loosen it up and walk it out. And if it doesn't then you still have the hole for the easy out.

    Tire and wheel help PLEASE.

    I love my toyo open country mts. Probably the only tire I will ever own again unless I am building a full on mud rig. They do great in what mud i do get into and pretty good in the snow too. Ride good and aren't really loud. The problem with goin with swampers or boggers is they dont last long...

    more horse power

    You will need to figure out what youre gonna use for a transmission behind it. Tire size will have alot to do with gear choices. The ls1 is a good engine and yes it can be put in a jeep. As for what youll need is a way to hook the drivetrain to the engine, new motor mounts, wiring harness and...

    what state has the most jeeps?

    How does it go from which state has the most jeeps to is it a jeep if its two weel drive? And as far as I am concerned just because it's only 2 wheel drive doesn't make it any less of jeep. And it doesnt take away anything from the people who own them.

    any girls have jeeps here

    That is a sweet lookin jeep casper. I think its great that more women are getting in to jeeps and offroading. Ive seen three women's jeeps on here (rubi's casper's and shewilly's) and they all look better than mine and actually run. If any of you wanna come work on mine it looks like I could use...

    while the jeep is down?

    I am currently rebuilding my jeep from the frame up. So what I am wondering is what everyone wheels while their jeep is down. Had to go play today and found a little mud. It's an 05 dodge ram 2500 ctd with a few toys on it. Doesn't do to bad for a 3/4 ton pick up. Still can't wait for the jeep...

    5.7L Vortec in a TJ?

    In the chevy tahoe the transmission is the 4l60e. I am using the same transmission and engine combo out of a 99 tahoe in my cj7 rebuild. If you can't get the wiring harness call howell fuel injection. The computer and harness all plug and play was like 800 bucks. Also advance adapters does make...

    winch

    The newest issue of jp magazine gives a run down on the top ten low budget winches. You might wanna take a look at that. I have used warn ramsey and superwinch before. Even had one made by master lock on a fourwheeler that worked pretty good.

    Cummins Jeep

    You would need at least a dana 60 front end to hold up the weight of that monster. 5.9 weighs in at 1300 pounds so you would also need a lot of frame reinforcing. I would almost think it would be easier to set your tub on a dodge frame and stretch the body to fit. But I do agree it would be...

    starting over again

    I took the dash out of my cj7 yesterday to start wiring in some new guages. After what i saw i can say thins much, I have no idea how anything electrical on my jeep worked. Wires that looked like ground wires hangin by the firewall had power. Wires where someone before me had tried to pull power...

    Ford 302 conversion?

    are you goin fuel injection or carb? i would think the 302 swap wouldnt be that hard to do. i did a 350 swap and one thing i can see being easier about the ford swap is the you dont have to worry about your distributor because its in the front. but it also depends on whether or not your changing...
