Drives good so it's a good start to a really nice jeep when done. My wife said it looks like a piece of crap ! But...

    Build sheet question (lets see them build sheets)

    Ha Ha Y'all so funny , where is said additional gallons of gas ( mine said 8 ) that is how much gas they put in it as it left the factory. This will depend on how much it will need to be driven to deliver to where it is going. On and off the train , the car hauler Etc. My build sheet said Zone...

    1999 TJ Reverse Door Handles

    What TJ I should buy?

    HYRYSC , I see you are running the type of fender flares I want to do on the jeep I buy. How do you like them ... I'm guessing you are running 33's with a bit of a lift. I will be running 31's no lift to slight leveling with wheels maybe sticking out just a bit over stock. Do you think I will...

    What TJ I should buy?

    Oldtimer , I get the 33's with 4.88's it takes that to run them . The 4 banger I drove with 33's Monday had the stock 4.10 gears and was stupid . I put it in 4 wheel drive at the end of my test drive and it sounded like I turned on a garbage disposal . 33's are hard on everything , it had...

    What TJ I should buy?

    If I buy a 4 banger I will only run 31's with the stock 4.10 gears and this jeep most of the time will never go over 45 mph , top speed limits were I am driving around is 55 mph and that's the most this jeep will see. I don't drive wide open throttle all the time and I'm not trying to see how...

    What TJ I should buy?

    Okay but what do you have to do to get a 35 to hold up. Everyone I know has blown them up . I'm not making a rock crawler , I just want to drive the jeep through mud and rough roads and not blow the rear end out . I know many who have put the 8.8 in with a sye and had zero trouble !

    What TJ I should buy?

    Parts to build the weak dana 35 are expensive and for 400.00 I can get a ford 8.8 4.10 positrack with disc brakes and a swap kit.
