    I can attest it will do it, I drove PawPaws through a shallow end of a pond with the GI snorkel and some FTV. Above the dash walked right through it, but they had marine motors technically. We did a tune up On it and couldn’t get it to run right for nothin. He grabbed a beer and we “studied it”...

    "Custom" styles you may not know existed...(sorry!)

    Hell if I know but there is a funny( in my opinion, I have thick skin) comedian Amari King, look him up and see his opinion

    Welcome, have to say the M38 is enough to make a Jeep fiend jealous!!! Grandad bought one surplus in a crate, had to assemble and seemed like everything was liberally smeared with grease. Dang thing could nearly go wherever you pointed it, but extreme to him was a creek and deep cow sh!t

    "Custom" styles you may not know existed...(sorry!)

    As a womb to tomb Carolinian, currently displaced in Bama, the “Carolina Squat” was wrongfully dubbed by some obese country bro rapper, it is not the taste of 99.999% of Carolinians!!!

    JKS disconnects vs Currie Antirock

    First of all, thanks for your service. If you’ve had “that moment” before you’ll likely have the need for it!

    JKS disconnects vs Currie Antirock

    It really depends on your needs. Aftermarket sway bars, weather single or double will out perform discos. I haven’t ran an anti rock but wheel with a tj equipped one frequently. It’s scary how much traction & stability is gained by an aftermarket bar! I’m running discos myself but will upgrade...

    Quitting smoking

    I feel your pain, I quit for new years( and being in a hospital definitely helps) and went all the way through January. Some trivial BS came up a few weeks back and I couldn’t resist “a smoke will make it better”! Tryin again now and can’t (don’t want to) believe I’ve been smokin 17 years!!!

    Maintenance Schedule B

    The first mod I do when I get a new(to me) car is a full baseline. Essentially you go from bumper to bumper doing ALL maintenance. At worst you’ll know that your components have all fresh fluids, filters, wires plugs(if equipped). I start with the engine and perform a compression check followed...

    Why is the Pitman arm so hard to get off?

    Pullers and pickle forks(manual and pneumatic) can be bought cheap at local parts stores or even Harbor Frieght. If you have access to compressed air a pneumatic pickle fork would make quick work of it

    What could be causing a rattling noise on acceleration only?

    Not sure how strict PA testing is but magnaflow has a nicely regarded cat conv if I recall. I think the price is what supposed to be so good as dealer prices are tuff on the wallet sometimes. I would do a lil research if your interested because some say that the claim of legal is subjective...

    LQ4 6.0 Engine Swap into a 99 Tj

    Like I said SBC is the ticket, I had my last tj tore apart with an om617 MB diesel already mated to a AX15 ready to install. Then I moved in the middle of it for work and lost the motivation/nerve to start hackin my Jeep up for the install. I’d say ease into it and have everything purchased and...

    Will running exhaust out front of rear tire degrade the tire over time?

    I’m well aware of the seriousness of fire safety. I haven’t had a neighbor involved in a forest fire. My statement was simply sayin that a full exhaust, factory exhausts have a turn down on the end as well or bobbed, is dangerous when dealing with high grass. That’s where the common sense or...

    I'm so mad I could spit (underhood light)

    My 97SE didn’t have one either, but like you said it did have the connector. Might’ve been an additional option that SEs weren’t ordered with frequently?

    Will running exhaust out front of rear tire degrade the tire over time?

    I would say a lack of common sense and not treading lightly are a far greater concern than 2 more feet of pipe

    Will running exhaust out front of rear tire degrade the tire over time?

    I personally have no desire for that setup again, if I were to dump it be behind the rear axle at a minimum

    Will running exhaust out front of rear tire degrade the tire over time?

    If you’re lookin for hi clearance many owners just dump the exhaust under the Jeep. Having run a setup like this before, my Jeep smelled like a gas can and was loud as H3LL on the inside. I didn’t run it to the back for the dump, just cut off old muffler installed part store special with a turn...
