big woody said what i meant. if it wasnt for my add my posts might make more sense. by the way i am a welder and when your a welder you go for more bang for the buck.

im not sayin that they dont work but puting a frame on a cherokee wouldnt make sense. that would be like puting a frame on a frame theres no point. then you have two stiff parts mounted together. all that gets is stress. tieing all the stress points together would be more practicle than just...

i would think a frame useless since an xj doesnt have flex pionts in the body(that why back around the hatch cracks out). i would think that if you made body as rigid as you could that would be better. a big x with some cross members would be a lot better like a [X] in the middle that would be...

i was wondering if the harbor freight winch is good or problem-matic. i dont really care about winch speed or amp draw. just a plan b

i am coming up on a rebuild and i would like to know what the price difference is for a stroker vs a normal rebuild would be in cost. i figure 450 for a normal rebuild kit plus machine work. how much for a stroker? i was just wondering cuz i might just put a vortec 6 if its to outrageous.

check the steering box mounts could be wallered out

check the tie rod ends for any play. if it is lifted it may be the steering design. mine did that for a while i would go wheeling and have to get an alignment every time. i came to the conclusion it was the steering and made my own and i dont have problems.

is it common for it to run 70-80 all the time? i have noticed my dads yj run 60 tops. and things to ckeck?

i have an old old forney stick welder with the plug settings. any recomendations? im not picky but hopefulley i can get a lincoln 300 roll around with the pulse settings.

really you need to do tak welds first. you want it to sizzle and make a nice round weld. look for it to flow into the metal and not pudge over on the edges if it does turn it up. flux is pretty good for starting as its cheap but you will want to upgrade to gas wire because it kicks but.

i hope your gas tank was full when u welded that. but it was pretty nice setup. i bet the lift was wonderful to have. i wish i had one.

the front sway bar is a must. i can take turns alot better with it than without. i took a corner once at 105 and it handled like it was on rails. that same turn a honda civic can only go 85. now that it is lifted i took the rear sway off and just run the front, believe it or not the rear sway...

Re: Acetone will increase MPG?!?! were do i get acetone?

what ever you do dont use gloss rattle can. pain in the rear!! i tried it on a truck and it looks awful. use a semi gloss of flat color. the gloss would be ok for small areas like numbers of graphics. i think that tribal camo would be pretty cool.
