Correction....plumbers do poo here....pipefitters do pipe....two different aspects of pipe...its apples and oranges....same but different... I fail to see how I would benefit from actual dom tube here...jyes it may be stronger but for this application I dont see it...maybe if it was going to...

pipe will be fine for sliders...its seamless and i would be led to believe its stronger than erw tubingt thhat i have seen for sale in pre bent kits for cages online....there is no reason it wouldnt workk and if i was able to manage to destroy it that would be the least of my problems....the...

I used some 1 1/2" sch 40 pipe that seamless and 2 90*s on the ends and then took 1 1/4" sch 40 and coped it to fit the 1 1/2 in 2 spots so each rail will connect by 4 spots to the rectangle tube. I am going to use 2x4 rectangle tube to replace my dented up rockers and tie them into the pinch...

I have some genright off road ones that are pretty decent...they are aluminum. I think they are more for looks...they are functional and were easy to put on. When Im at a stop light I can see the heat coming out of them and when it is ideling and you walk around it you can put your hand by them...

The trans mount will have some...about like a rubber bushing...not much though, mainly to take vibration away and isolate it from the body...it shouldn't move much....I had the same type of problem...i completely redid my front axle and suspension and overlooked the trans mount because it was...

I love the 5100's, it is a stiff feeling in the jeep, but I don't run sway bars front or rear and it doesn't get sloppy feeling on any kind of bump or odd lean in the road. It is night and day difference in ride in this compared to my buddies with some cheap shocks that came with his lift kit.

I'll probably go along with the hd kit...is that a pretty smart choice? also what do you do as far as putting some sort of coating between the stiffeners and the unibody after grinding and welding so it doesn't start rusting super fast? I live in Michigan and they salt the road likes like its...

what would consititute front plates? I have JCR inner steering plate and have bumper tie in plates that tie in 7 of the bolts on both sides and go all the way back to the big hole in the unibody subframe...who else makes rear plates besides HD?

What stiffener should I aim for? I like the HD industries kit, but I know I'll only get motivated to put half of it on...if I put one on just the mid section wont I run into problems in other areas?

Well I did my taxes and I'm getting a pretty good check back. Im going to put some money into the jeep. Im trying to debate to get stiffeners or not. If I do I am going to go along the route of the ruffstuff ones. I don't know if they will do more harm than good though. My jeep is about 70...

I am thinking I put the cam sync in when it was on its exhaust stroke...so how would i go about putting it on the other stroke? take it out..and rotate the motor until it comes up to 0 degrees on the timing cover again?

Alright, well I got a 2000 xj without a motor in it. I bought a 98 block and used all of my stuff from my 00 block. I used the block and head, and I had the head resurfaced, a valve job, new valve seals, and hot tanked. I cleaned up the block and put new gaskets in it all the way around. Now my...

thats right next to the flux capacitor right? lol im not new to jeeps....actually i have had three....but my mothers cherokee always seems to have electrical gremlins...and i really don't feel like dinkin out in the cold to fix it because our garage just burned to the ground last sunday....with...

I have an 00 xj that is having an odd electrical problem. When you turn the blinkers on..in either direction, they will blink a few times, and then stop blinking. but the turn signal lever will still be engaged....so where do I even begin to look? I haven't been able to figure out anything that...

We have a 2000 jeep cherokee, changing out front axle shaft u-joints, I have rotor, caliper, tire, cotter key, spring washer off the hub assembly up to the wheel bearing/spindle nut, we cannot get either side off for the life off us, we have soaked it in pb blaster, beat the socket onto it, took...
