We did. What diesel fiasco?

Rick, Jeep runs perfectly and easily passes the sniffer, but it won't pass a visual. It has a cat spec'd for a Mercedes V8 on it as part of the past build. It has two very small spin tech mufflers that have no "stuffing" and they have an annoying drone at freeway speed. Since I no longer...

That is the one that the smog guy didn't believe me about. He didn't believe that bulge was the second cat. Even though I found a picture of it online. Needless to say - I don't do business with him anymore. My current guy "loves Jeeps" and did not crawl under, which is good, because I do...

LOL. That sounds about right Blaine.

I had one fail my other TJ, which was totally stock because the computer said "it had two cats" and he didn't believe me when I pointed to the pre-cat and said this is the other one. The exhaust was clearly stock on that Jeep. Had to find another shop. Smog shops are essentially risking...

That isn't bad at all.

Gee - really? Duh.... How about I come to Franklin and drive up your real estate prices then you can cry about that also....

Perfect. Let me know what they charged you as well - you can PM me that if you want.

There is a great documentary on him. He was slightly more crazy than normal. It's called Tread.

Googled the forum and found older articles and a bunch of recommendations for "normal state" cats. Who has replaced their cat recently and what brand did you go with? 1998 TJ 4.0. Must be Calioforinia legal/compliant. Thanks, Jeff

I've used them plenty. They really do work great. We had our house repiped (very common in CA due to our hard water and copper pipe) and they used similar press fittings on the PEX. I figured if a professional used them, why not. I've sweated many pipes and IMO it sucks. Typically you are...

Robert was no dummy when it comes to building Jeeps and he had it built for JV and to help tow his camp trailer, so I suspect the torque increase was in the typical usable RPM range for crawling.

Yep. I'm assuming correct gearing and built the same - so same level of "lightness", but yes, it's a crapshoot IMO as far as investing this much into the 4.0. Again - my opinion only.

Not sure. All work done prior to me owning it, but I will ask my friend. It was his Jeep. Bottom line is he put almost $5000 into the engine and the gains were decent, but not great. It also has the AEM brute intake and the larger throttle body. Basically almost every "bolt on" mod short...

Here is what my 4.0 has: Hesco AL head milled to get me to just under 10:1 compression ratio. Hesco pushrods, Hesco H264 cam, Harlan Sharp roller rocker kit with Hi perf valve springs, late model manifold swap and load tuned on a Dastec dyno using a Unichip. Didn't get 40HP... more like 27. Did...

Home Depot, buy Sharkbite valves and whatever tools you lack to do the job correctly (pipe cutter, pipe brush, sand paper, etc.) It's about a 10 min job.

PM answered. SPF.

I have my Antirock for sale. Replaced with a Swayloc. I happen to have an extra set of arms from my last TJ that I put a Swayloc on so it comes with two sets. The bolts that hold the arms on the torsion bar are brand new. One Delrin bushing has a crack near the edge, but it's not broken and...
