    Any recommendations on lockers for Dana 35 on 98 TJ?

    X2 100%. If you drive it in the snow, you have to go selectable up front, leave it open in the snow and lock it out when you need it on the trail. Auto lockers in the front in the snow will drastically reduce your ability to steer.

    Why did the 4.0 inline 6 go away?

    See, there you go thinking! It's always baffled me that jeep offers a V8 in the Cherokee, a diesel in the Liberty,,, but the Wrangler gets no options at all? 2020 we will finally see a diesel option in the wrangler, but only in the Unlimited or Gladiator? Maybe they should hire you or me to go...

    Why did the 4.0 inline 6 go away?

    Here is a little piece of info I just found, that I had no idea was in the making. If they actually get it going, might see some engine swaps with this in our old TJ's. This was suppose to be offered in the 2019, 1500 pickups.

    4.88, 5.13 or 5.38 debacle

    Auto lockers in the front in the snow when giving it gas tend to spin both the front tires, obviously. That in turn takes away your ability to be able to steer. You give it gas turn the wheel and the jeep keeps going straight, can be a bit scary. "My opinion," if your going to drive in the snow...

    What was your first car and in what year?

    Oh yeah! I had an old 71 Gremlin when I was a teenager. Ugliest little thing I ever drove, all my friends use to make fun of me, till they needed a ride. It had a 3.3L or a 3.8L inline 6 (I don't remember which). I could sit at a stop light put my foot hard on the brake and stomp the gas, it...

    What was your first car and in what year?

    I knew the Maverick would come up sooner or later. Now all we need is the Pinto, America's 1st throw away cars,,, or so they thought!

    What was your first car and in what year?

    1978 Bought a 1964 AMC Rambler for $35. Didn't last long, transmission went out and I let it go. wasn't worth the $$$ to repair. 1979 picked up a 1969 Camaro SS 350 for $700. Still have it.
