    Hurricane 6 swap possible?

    The Hurricane 6 has been out a couple years now. Eventually there should be a used ones avaliable. Im thinking this would be a interesting swap if possible. I wonder the weight compared to a small block chevy? Or even bellhousing pattern? They are in the 4x4 pickups now so there should be a way.

    What did you do WITH your TJ today?

    Worked on a new jeep trail on my brothers 160. It follows where the water drains off from above through the woods so has some interesting/challenging spots. It's a uphill trail and since its a jeep trail it's named. My sons can't wait to bring their jeeps next month and try it. They are already...

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I should probably replace my head unit at some point with bluetooth. In my car I like to be able to listen to the music on my phone and charge it at the same time.

    Banks Monster Exhaust vs Magnaflow off-road pro

    I just installed the Banks Monster cat back. only loud when the engine goes past 3000rpm (4.0L) I dont notice any drone that is at a objectionable level cruising at 65-70 on the highway. It still slows down going up a incline at highway speeds but not as much a before. 33" tires. 3.73 gears. So...

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    my head unit is a jvc kdr370 Since the front speakers are in a open space vs the rear speakers in a enclosed space they fill in the sound area to complement the rear speakers projecting sound into the area. I think its good even though the front speakers are not as prominent. I mean its good...

    Anybody put a straight pipe on their 4.0?

    Mine has the stock muffler and its loud at low rpm. Will have to look under there and see if anything has been deleted. I like V8 sounds. some 4 cyl mufflers actually sound good. If someone actually came up with a muffler that made the 4.0 sound great they would probably sell a ton of them. I...

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I just replaced my rear roll bar speakers with Kicker 5 1/4" speakers I got at Best Buy for $76. I have a Jvc head unit that came with my 2003 Jeep. The previous owner had already replaced the rear speakers with Pioneer 5 1/4" speakers which because of the lack of volume I thought were the oem...

    It does take up room. Having a shop definitely helps.

    Storing hard top

    I made this with shelves for doors and rear seat and the feet have casters with wheel locks so I can roll it around and then put the brake on the wheels. Feel free to copy.
