You have corrupted her well.Took the wife out to dinner tonight, and we parked next to a TJ with a substantial lift on it. On returning to our car, the owner of said TJ showed up, as well. I complimented him on his rig, and asked him what lift he was running. He looked at me somewhat perplexed, and then said "Ummm...a Bilstein?"
When we got in our car, my wife says "He doesn't know anything about his Jeep, does he? Just drives it 'cause he thinks it's cool...(sigh)". I just had to laugh.

LOL I am constantly looking for the "right one". I like the '75 Pacer X the best (first year, and the "sporty" package). I also like the wagons, as the last year or two could be had with the 304 V8. An AMC V8 will bolt into any of them, of course, including the 401 (same exact block size as the 304). So yeah, Pacers be good!Hey @Squatch what do you think about the 1976 AMC Pacer?

Edir forgot the :iloveyou:
You're preaching to the choir, Brother!yeah those were good motors and they came in old CJ's I wish they would put them in jeeps now. Not necessarily the 304 but something other V8s, I wish it was an option on the tj way back then.
A friend of mine up in WA had a straight 6 Gremlin and he would take it off road with our 4xs, it was funny as hell. I mean he beat the living crap out of it and never killed it. I mean we had to winch it over things and drag it out of ruts sometimes, but he would wheel the crap out of it. He did finally sell it and buy a F250 4x4, but he sold it as a running car though.
Say what yo will about the old AMC's but they were runners!
Especially the CJ'sYou're preaching to the choir, Brother!
Just thinking he ordered a kit from them. But then again I am half asleep.LOL Well, but if you look at the link you offered up, it does appear to me to be nothing more than shocks one would use with a lift. It does not appear to be a lift, in and of itself. Or am I missing something? It was his answer in the form of a question ("Ummm...Bilstein?") that leads me to believe he knows little of what's under his rig. That, and since joining this forum, I still have not ever heard of a Bilstein lift. If there is such a lift for the TJ, then I'll recant my assumption of his lack of knowledge, and fess up to my own!
Entirely possible. Either way, my wife's comment made laugh. That truly was the point, and value, of my post, my friend. Nothing more.Just thinking he ordered a kit from them. But then again I am half asleep.
I understand that. My wife told me yesterday that she needed an oil change and i needed to move the jeep out of the garage so she could do it herself. She id starting to be a good wrench turner.Entirely possible. Either way, my wife's comment made laugh. That truly was the point, and value, of my post, my friend. Nothing more.
Mine just pointed to an all white '01 Sahara that's at a dealership, and said "Okay, I can see myself driving that. You can buy it. Seriously. Is it for sale?" LOLI understand that.

Who here remembers what it is that @Brian J Theriault is referring to when he used that phrase? I know I do!

I’d say 75% of society lives WELL beyond their means and is up to their eyeballs in debt. Living off credit cards, and living paycheck to paycheck. I am so glad I don’t have that struggle. It’s easy to fall into that trap tho I’d imagine.Trust me, I wonder this all the time.
I was having a conversation with my step-dad the other day and I was talking to him about how with the average new car price starting at 50k fully loaded and all these pimped out Jeeps, either I'm not making as much money as I should be, or there's a crap ton of people who are just making massive amounts of money... but where do they work that they're making all this money?
Either that or they are living entirely off their credit.
