    CJ/YJ Heater Improvement -- A Novel Idea

    That sounds awesome, but nothing is worse than a muggy rainy day in july, when you have to have the top up. More heat is always a plus, but nothing comes between me and my A/C. another thing that i was just thinking, I remember reading that the a/c unit helps the defroster by "drying" the air...

    Swap a carter w/ a carter? What was i thinking?

    K, so the bad news is that i need a new carb; the good news is that im replacing the carter! I had a carter on my old engine before i swapped it out after my oil pump dried up and the motor seized after a transmission rebuild. (Thanks AAMCO) ANYWAY, that carb ran great. I swapped in a turn-key...

    How do i get more articulation?

    Hey everyone... Here is my dilema. Im looking to get the most articulation and flex out of my YJ's stock suspension. What do I have to remove/change in order to get the rig into one of those show-off "1 wheel climbing" poses? I have a nice pile of snow from the plow infront of my house that i...

    Rhino lining

    Lining is awesome. It always looks good for the first couple months, then it starts to fade after a while, looking like tar. i had it on my flares before i did the tj conversion, and it looked pretty cool.

    Cutting fender flares..whose done it?

    On my rig, i was able to get atleast a couple more inches between my 31's and the flares. i dont have a lift, so it worked great for me; but i do understand what you are saying. bigger tires call for bigger mods.

    Cutting fender flares..whose done it?

    I just finished up putting TJ flares on my yj a few weeks ago. Most people cut their fenders to do it, but its usually something feared by most. The TJ flares have a lip on them that is supposed to mount against the edge of the wheel well on the TJ's. This lip is for alignment purposes on the...
