    Advice

    Well my thought is,I could eventually think of doing a FI conversion when needed on the new jeep,have a larger engine with full doors and a hard top w/alarm I tend to roll with about $3000.00 worth of gear when fishing.I further would add a Black paint scheme(currently blue) to go with the grey...

    New jeep

    Well i agree with Flatie 46. Each of my kids started out with a well used driver.They learned the hard way of taking care of what they were "given" . I think its great that your parents have a so called budget but I came from 10 kids(#8) and nothing came new. Save your parents money,get an older...

    I agree. My 95 yj was outside in the last weeks So Cal rains(we got 14 inches in 4 days.) I had just installed a new windshield weatherstrip that didnt work and my Alpine is not working. I had an inch of water on both sides and water dripping from my dash. Anyway I pulled the carpet to dry and...

We get a rough idle that eventually...

    Understandable not having a garage to work in definatly creates additional challenges(i have been there) But in agreement with all the other advice ,if you are at the point of checking bearings do a rebuild and before you fire up the new one-----------Get an oil pressure guage. Then happy 4 wheelin!

    Sound Bar

    Ran mine under the rollbar pad on passenger side-crossed over under the door sill and up the kick panel. Wires did not need splice anywhere along the way. Overhead lights are best wired to the accessory side of your switch as they can be easily bumped and can turn on and drain your battery. It...

    To stroke or not to stroke.

    1200 hp for 1200 miles!Maybe????? I would rather have 300 for 300,000. Bigger is better but over the years I have learned that too much can cause alot of headaches and constant wrenching. Unless this is a full time play toy,dont go too big.

    rattle in exaust ?

    Mine did the same thing. As the exhaust pressure increased with RPM the noise would go away. As I let off or slowed down and the pressure decreased the rattle would reappear. So I hogged it out and waited untilI had to smog it before I replaced it. As I had just bought the jeep It was driving me...
