    Well, there goes the engine

    Yea I’m not from the area I’m currently in. Took it to one shop and he just said to run it till I can’t stand to listen to it anymore then swap in another motor. Needless to say, I’m looking for another shop.

    Well, there goes the engine

    You happen to have a parts list? I’m facing a terribly loud knock and I know I’m on borrowed time.

    3.73s for 33s

    I’ve got 3.73 R&P you could have but it will probably be more costly than finding a Dana 30 and just swapping the entire axle.

    Has the TJ reached classic car level?

    Go price any 3/4ton and up diesel right now. It’s ridiculous. If I didn’t need mine I’d be down to a half ton in a heartbeat. But to answer your question. I drive an F250 diesel pickup

    Frame swap options

    I believe TDK will be the route I choose. I’m due for a trip out west again anyway!

    Frame swap options

    See I know nothing of what it would cost. Another thing I’m not sure of is if you can paint over the galvanized shit and it stick. Not really sure I’d want to be rolling around with a silver frame lol

    Frame swap options

    He gives two options actually. You can buy the frame as it came off the jeep for $1900 or for the extra $500 he will prep it. I supposed a guy could always go and look at it before the prep.

    Why do people think Jeeps are unreliable?

    Probably from lack of maintenance from previous owner and a dishonest sale ad. And most people in general aren’t going to research or go over it thoroughly enough until after the purchase. Then the excitement wears off and the negativity begins.

    Frame swap options

    Mine will eventually need a new frame. Would you go with a takeoff that’s been prepped or say a new TDK? FB guy has some southern frames he preps with por15/fluid film and wants $2400. TDK is $3800 raw or $4400 galvanized.

    Has the TJ reached classic car level?

    Man what’s up with Ohio? My TJ was $56 to renew in Belmont county. $20 in just tax.

    Has the TJ reached classic car level?

    The market for certain things is crazy right now. Like the nada trade in for my pickup, I barely paid more than that for it brand new. Now 4 years and 130k miles later they’re saying it’s worth that.. I’m seriously thinking of selling.

    Can’t seem to find Method 304 wheels in stock anywhere

    Guess I can’t have my cake and eat it too. Oh well. I think I’ll just back order the methods. Hopefully that will give me enough time to figure out what tire I want. These 10plys have to go!

    Can’t seem to find Method 304 wheels in stock anywhere

    Yea I really don’t want them outside the factory flare. Can’t seem to find a quality wheel for a decent price that fits my wants. I may end up going with the quadratec rubicon’s, it’s about the only stock wheel I like the looks of. Plus it’s a 15x8 with a 4” BS. Thoughts ?

    Can’t seem to find Method 304 wheels in stock anywhere

    Specifically the 304 machined double standard 15x8. Can’t find a full set anywhere. Also, how big a deal is the 3.5” BS, seems like they will stick out a fair bit.

    Steering gearbox suggestions for 35s

    Yea that’s why I was really leaning PSC due to it not being a rebuild. Just wanted to see if there was another company I was missing before dropping the coin.

    Steering gearbox suggestions for 35s

    So this is the last piece for the whole front end rebuild. Looking at PSC and readhead.... are there any other quality brands? Suggestions please.. and yes I’ve done a forum search.
