    1986 MJ build/ questions

    i am not all knowing on GM V6 jeeps but i will tell you that you should get rid of that motor as quickly as possible. I dont know what kind of mounting issues youre going to run into as far as getting the 4.0 in there but you have got to get rid of the 2.8. I did a renix to HO swap on my jeep...

    LWB bed chop for your enjoyment

    nice rear end ; ) lol. yeah the butt of this jeep is going to be as simple as possible. i have smacked both shackles but its easy to drive off a shackle, not easy to drive off a hooked bed. i hate the rake these things seem to get gonna do long arms and 2 more inches of lift in the front of mine

    LWB bed chop for your enjoyment

    the main problem i have is this is actually a daily driver so i have to do everything in these little steps. now that ive made the bed cut i want to basically resto-mod or i wont feel like its finished.

    LWB bed chop for your enjoyment

    yes i want to build a bumper that ties the whole thing together and also again allows for operation on the tailgate, this is just the initial effort. and i didnt cut it to any specific length, i just cut 16 inches out. i wanted to get the overhang and close as possible and its pretty close

    Short arm and steering questions

    terrifying might be a strong word, ive driven a large portion of my jeeps with no sway-bars, itll help you be a much more careful driver, no speeding tickets.

    BIG project, too big?

    I tend to agree. Yeah i welded it while it was still attached to the motor. it was just a tiny little crack when i got to it and like i said i was planning on doing the new headers anyways so it wasnt something i stressed over real hard.

    BIG project, too big?

    First off my opinion of welding manifolds, if you can afford it just buy a good set of aftermarket manifolds, its 500$ that you only ever have to spend once. I used a little Lincoln with gas and didnt get the whole crack so it stills makes noise when its cold. Im saving for Banks headers. I...
