    Different kind of YJ

    I realized I had not updated for a while. Installed a Chris Alsten front end with rack and pinion steering. Stretched wheelbase 4 inches. Jeep ran 11.6 and should be in the 10's now. But now setting it up for autocross racing Weight distribution is 46/54 so should handle well. Just got...

    My Hot Rod Jeep

    Of course there is. When I originally built my Jeep, I simply replaced the front axle with a straight gasser style with a 4 inch drop from Speedway Motors. But last year, I did it right and installed a Chris Alsten coil over with rack and pinion steering. This gave me the opportunity to move...

    master cylinder

    Due to my big cam (SBC) I may need to convert to manual brakes. Will this MC work without the booster?

    master cylinder

    Hi, Does anybody know the bore and fitting size for an 1989 YJ brake master cylinder? I am looking to replace it with a Wilwood and want to get the right one. Thanks

    The only problem with Novak is that they don't have a cool decal ;)

    I used Novak mounts for my swap. They have several types-weld in or bolt on. I used bolt on that had multiple adjustments so I could get a precise fit. Now that everything is set, I think I will get my buddy to weld them up and remove the bolts for a cleaner look (and no worries about the...

    That was exactly what I wrote years ago on multiple forums. If you think you have no off roading in Texas, imagine New York City. And I also wrote that all the people here with their lifted, big tired Jeeps with winches and a million candle power of lights are all phonies.

    I know what you mean trying to keep the little lady happy. My wife only agreed to let me build a project car as a bonding experience with my son. Too bad he got into video games and lost interest from the start!. And now my wife complains about all the money I spent (and am continuing to spend).

    It definitely does turn heads! Especially when I play with the electric cut-outs:-)

    That was before the Edelbrock top end kit (heads, cam, etc). Now I do 0 - 60 in under 3.8 seconds. Next up-new short block. Should be around 400 CID with higher compression forged pistons. Will be even quicker after that. At first, my 9 year old daughter used to beg me to nail it. She...

    I was not happy that the hole for the scoop had to be cut out (a very long and tedious job) then I had to reinforce the front of the hood because now it was very flimsy. They advertised a promotion where they would send you money (I believe $200) if you sent them photos of the painted hood...

    I understand your frustration with forum feedback. I am registered on several Jeep forums, and some are more active than others. Same with the 2 HHR forums I am on for my daily driver. I was particularly annoyed when I entered my HHR in each of their 'Car of the Month' contests and lost...

    Is your hood from the Florida company? I was tossed between the cowl induction like yours and the scoop in the front. But now I with I had gotten the flat one so I could put my own 6 pack scoop on.

    Cab cover

    Any suggestions for a good waterproof cab cover? I have a water resistant one, and if the cover is not tight, the water pools on top and soaks through and gets the interior wet. I need fully waterproof. But looking for the least expensive one. Thanks for any insight.

    outside door handles in YJ

    Thanks. My drivers side is broken and I figure I will change them both for black ones (I don't have any other chrome on the car). I just ordered them.
