I havn't had a chance to put any mileage on the suspension yet; I had thought about trying to put a sleeve through the frame but wasn't sure how I could do that and outboard the springs at the same time to allow for the Dana 44 front end to fit. I trimmed the fenders considerably and installed a...

Homemade front bumper cut up and extended CJ7 flat front fenders, shackle reversal with outboarded springs tied into winch plate, bumper, and frame rear ice chest gas can and water can carrier receiver hitch mount tube doors, oil pan skid plate also not pictured: high lift jack mount...

To swap engines you will need to install/weld in new motor mounts. Other than that it should bolt in. Honestly I wouldn't install a 258 though, there are plenty of other engine options out there. 4.0L from a newer Jeep, 4.0L stroked to 4.6L, Chevy Vortec V6, chevy 350, amc 304 and 360, etc. The...

Anyone know of any good online companies that rebuild computers? I've had back luck buying used computers and honestly I just don't trust autozone or kragens to properly rebuild or source a rebuilt a computer.

Sway bar? I remember when my buddy broke his TJ's sway bar in the exact same location and he continued to drive on it until he had it fixed. I would still drive it until it gets fixed, just drive accordingly (no quick maneuvers or turns). I ditched the sway bar on my CJ years ago, but i expect...

Procomp makes a variety of degree shims for leaf springs, just check summitracing.com or ebay. You said the RE shims worn out? Shims are not a moving part, I'm trying to picture this but don't really see how this would happen unless the u-bolts came loose which could cause a whole mess of problems.

I have purchased vehicles before where the owner had lost the title. The owner filled out a DMV duplicate title request form, signed it, and had it notarized. I used that in place of a the title when registering it and two weeks later received my new title in the mail. There may have been a $20...

Does anybody know where to buy a new engine computer for a 1994 Jeep 4.0L m/t? The dealership quoted me at $540...I would usually prefer the dealer for this type of part but $540 seems outrageous. Are there any good sources for quality rebuilt Jeep engine computers besides the dealership? Also...

Heavy duty shackles with moderate lift (1/2" or 1") aren't a bad idea imo, but I wouldn't go any bigger. Having a longer shackle can actually increase suspension articulation if you have longer lift springs, which is why Rubicon Express includes 1/2" lift shackles with their 4.5" CJ lift kit...

Does anyone here actually have experience with the new MT/R with Kevlar? I would expect the new tread design to do better in mud than the old MT/R.

Definitely a selectable locker then. ARB air locker, OX Locker, Eaton E-locker. If you want to save some money you could go with a limited slip differential, but you wouldn't get the same performance offroad.

There is a guy on ebay that sells heavy duty bumper/tire carriers in the $200-$300 range, I bought mine from him and it is at least as heavy duty as anything Warn makes. It took about month to get here, but it's a good option if you don't want to drop $500+ on a bumper/tire carrier.

Can't go wrong with a Lincoln Mig welder

I like my Magnaflow a lot, combined with a header and cam it has a nice deep rumble but not so loud it's annoying.

PSI should be around 40 I believe. Disconnecting the regulator should actually increase fuel pressure, I would keep it connected to avoid damaging the pump or causing a leak. There is a number of things that could be causing your Jeep to die; what engine codes are you getting from the check...

The ECU controls the fuel pump via the ASD relay which in turn controls the fuel pump relay; several sensors give input to the ECU to control this. I would try replacing the fuel filter, and if that doesn't do the trick then hook up a fuel pressure tester to see if the fuel pressure is the problem.

I would do it, I reversed the shackles on my CJ7 and never looked back. It will ride and handle MUCH nicer, especially on bumpy dirt roads.

What springs are you planning to use? A shackle reversal works best with arched springs, sometimes guys use sagging YJ springs when they go SOA and the springs actually go into a negative arch when compressed. With a shackle reversal, the change in suspension geometry will push the wheels...

Jeep vs car: Jeep wins (well, usually). I agree with everyone else, time for an aftermarket bumper and gas tank skid, and have a good shop inspect the frame on the other guy's dime.

How low does it drop?
