I was woundering if there was anything special to the common t-case lowering kit. In all the pics i have seen it looks like a 3/4" - 1" peice of steel with two holes and longer bolts. Am i mistaking or is that all it is? I'm just having a hard time justifying $50 for a few pieces of scrap...

As known i have a 2door xj. I want to put my doors on quick hinges and make a set of half doors for the summer time, so i can make my A/C into an air comp. i think i know the lay out i want but i was woundering if i need to leave the outer frame of the whole door for the unibody or if i can...

if you want better fuel milage dont worry about your RPMs all that much and do what i did. Put in a vacum gage in your vehicle. Drive by vacum the more vacume you have the better MPG your getting

i keept it old scool and put on a classic glasspack cherrybomb. it was cheaper then a regular muffler and has more of a grumble.

Wow, thank you guys for all the info. it all is really help full. And tgoff thank you, i reed both articles and they were very helpfull. The idea/setup i was thinking of doing was very simular but I forgot about oil, so the oiling/ lubing is now a good idea to desing in befor i start the...

i was thinking the same thing, Though i haven't done this yet i was planning on placing my up along side the gas tank filler neck and let it breath right by the cap.makes for a good refrence point to know when you start gathering water in the axles. Mr.X:peace:

Ok the topic at hand is turning my AC into an air compresor. I have an 88 cherrokee with quick disconect doors and half doors for the summer, i lve in RI so the summers arn't that hot.I was going to convert my leaky AC into an air compresor with a few ports and a holding tank in the rear. I was...

if its your family fun truck and DD I'd keep with recovery minor lift(3-4.5") slightly aggressive on road off road tires. Maybe cargo area. navigation, safety (for family)

keep it simple engine needs 3 thing fuel, air, spark. if all three of thoses are good check tire presure, brake drag. also remember your driving a lifted jeep with 31s its not a tunner kepp it easy on the right pedal i know of a lot of people that get bad milage and dont know why, then you get...

Yea I live in RI and they salt the hell out of the roads here too. I also have a 2door jeep, i went the same rout and took the plastic off the door and put herculiner from under the rocker pannels all the way up to the lower pannel bend(the bump out that goes 1/4 way up the door.) The hurculiner...

Does the spacer really make any differance? I am just curious, i have seen them all over the place but never knew weather or not they were any good. Do they help fuel economy at all?

I would definatly go with what chris said. Spacer in the front and a shackle extension in the rear. Here is a 1 3/4 lift kit. Its daystar wich is a good name and its from quadratec so they will be easy to deal with

the easiest way is to jack up vehicle. rest axle on jack stands and then if you have a coil spring compersor or acces to one that will make your life 100% easy. compress sping until you can fit spacer under slowly release spring jack off jeep and you done.(hehe i said jack off) Mr.X:peace:

yea Rough country is a good cheap lift. itll handle a little well.. rought but good. And for better flex in the front you can put in disconects on the sway bar links Rought Country gives you. The way i made disconects was with 2 clevis pins(21/2"by 7/16)2 washers(7/16) and 2 safty pins. I put...
