A while back i was debating on doing a diesel swap. Well my 100k 4.0 threw a rod at the moon, so im cannibalizing all of my parts, and building my jeep from the ground up. The plan is cummins r2.8 diesel engine, tr4050 5 speed, atlas tcase, rebuilt front and rear axles from my 97' f350 parts...

Has anyone here messed around with rear steer? Not when something is broken, like swapping a Quadrasteer gm rear or building your own. What would be the upside to doing so, how difficult would it be to create, and would it be worth the extra time and money? I'm not considering this idea...

So I have a project I need help with. Im rewiring my AC controls to two on/off/on switches. I only have 2 air strength settings that work, and I only use hot and cold, and im fine with that. I made a 6 gang toggle switch panel and im using the first two toggles as my ac/ heat controls. My...

I was dead set on dana 60s, but then I took axle clearance into effect. So now I'm debating between a built 8.8 or a built JK dana 44, or even a built TJ 44. Can someone with experience with these axles give input? I have a lot more experience with Toyota axles and dana 60s. Im locked in on an...

Most of you that read my posts know I want to stretch my frame, or get a new one and stretch that because my frame has some severe rot. But how hard would it be to swap my tub over to an LJ frame? If LJs weren't rare and expensive I'd buy that instead, but I plan on dropping a lot of money into...

So I have an empty fire extinguisher, looking for ideas on how to repurpose it. I dont know if it holds pressure, I was thinking about making a small camp grill or a gas can I love making things into other things, so id like to hear some ideas and suggestions!

So I'm stretching the frame eventually, with a dana 60, so im going to need a different fuel tank. I plan on using the genright comp tank, but it requires coilovers for the rear. Considering im building the suspension from scratch, what size coilovers would be best for 5 inches of lift? I plan...

Does anyone know about a company that sells TJ or LJ body tubs? I'm trying to price out my next build, either tj or lj but I can't find any new, bare tubs for those models

So im trying to price out my eventual engine swap, I could always go diesel but the sound of a small block chevy will always hold a spit in my heart. So I have 2 questions related to more power in the jeep. 1st question. What small block would be the best option for power upgrade and...

Does anyone know of aftermarket dash panels? I like the layout of the tj dash, I just dont like how bubbly it is. Im looking for something more rugged looking but still keep everything where it is. If there really is no dash upgrades has anyone made one themselves, and if so how complicated is it?

ok so I got in an accident on Friday, hydroplaned into a blazer at about 45mph. The frames still straight and sturdy, no leakage, and alignment is still prefect. But I have a grinding noise only when I accelerate into a right turn. I can coast right with no problems. I have no issues or noise...

Alright, so I've gone almost completely down the rabbit hole with jeep mods. While I'm waiting on hardware for the dana 60 to come in, I decided to look at cases, only to give myself more of a headache. My question is, with a 4bt and 3/4 ton setup, 4.56 axle gearing, should I get a Rubicon...

Ok guys, I posted earlier about my future build, but here's what I'm going with. Dana 60 in the rear, dana 44hd in the front, 4.56 gears. 4in suspension lift with a 1in body lift. Tube fenders with 35in tires. Diesel swap is going to be within the next year or so, depending on if I have the...

Alright, looking to 1 ton axle swap my tj. I know I have to weld on the brackets and such, but what do I have to do for clearance of the Dana 60, if anything? Also would like to know what I have to do to my driveshaft to pair with the Dana 60

How ya doin. I'm lifting my tj in the next few weeks, but need a little help. I want something that can take the abuse of moderate - slightly aggressive terrain (deep mud, shallow stream/river, decent sized boulders) but also want to be able to reach highway speeds safely lol. My only...
