Thanks for the link martygras13! The link works just fine. I appreciate the encouragement to move forward with the head replacement. I'm pretty sure it's an original 0331, as it does not have TUPY or anything else stamped on the head when I look into the oil filler cap (per...

Hi martygras13...do you have a specific part # for the head you ordered from Clearwater? My 2000 Sport has begun to drink the coolant (oil level is increasing while coolant level is falling) so I'm afraid that I've blown a head gasket or have a cracked head. I've read that it's better to just...

Here she is! We are very happy how it turned out.

Based upon everyone's information and opinions, I decided to go with a 4" lift before installing the 33s. The Jeep is in the shop (reputable, well-known shop in lower DE for doing lifts) and hopefully we can pick it up later today. I can't recall the brands, but it's getting new shocks...

Thanks JMT. Like I said, I don't plan to go offroading, except around my hobby farm...barely 500 miles per month so far, with probably half on pavement and half on dirt. So what about regearing? Is that necessary with a 3"-4" lift, or is it more of a necessity due to having heavier tires with...

Thanks, mots & JMT! This type of information is much appreciated. While I can read the suggestions about other's TJs, I appreciate the suggestions for my specific situation. I'll definitely wait to mount the 33's until AFTER I get a lift. Now to just decide what lift and how tall. Is there...

Hi everyone, Relatively new Jeeper here. I got my first Jeep this summer, a 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport. My BIL was just upgraded his wheels and tires on his JK from 33's to 37's and offered me his 33's at a price I couldn't turn down. They are 275/70R18 Trail Grapplers. The TJ currently has...
