I have seen this radiator talked about on here. I even had it bookmarked last fall and i cant find it. I was going to buy it in the fall for my 95 country. anyways now my radiator bit the dust. I called napa the parts guy cant find it. all he says is the computer shows a postal jeep...

inner or outer rocker ? if its just the outer rocker skin, probably not a big deal. Sure its stronger but i think the real strength is the 90 degree bend of the inner rocker. This strengthens the vehicle front to back and side to side on each respective side of the jeep. Just the outer...

Price seems fair; if they were local I would jump at in if everything checked out with regards to some details. I would go with a local shop. I blew up my engine in 2002 and I learned about golens and I was on the fence whether to go with them or not. They were nice and straight up with me on...

they didnt make nearly as many 242 as 231, and the 242 is unfairly or disproportionally labeled as weaker. It is .... ever so slightly. It has its advantages and if i recall correctly its rated to withstand only about 15% less lb/ft less than the 231, where as the 242 heavy duty in the durango...

never thought of lowering an xj, people have put in both t bird front coil springs i am not sure what years sorry, as well as f150 springs for a lift. You could look at f150 springs that are lowered, or have custom coils made locally not cheap though. If your on a budget as you day, then keep...

good find, especially if the rockers are the worst part/rust limited to that area. Good fair price. About the herculiner on the bumper, dont do it, i herced my bumpers and rockers, and the cargo area. I dont like it, it is thin, dry, and doesnt take well to touching it up. Others have said to...

nope thats a good fair price for one with disk brakes, especially if the brakes are good and dont need replacement. check: http://car-part.com/ for a good idea of whats out there locally near you at the junk yards. Ofcourse if there is a pick n pull near you go there, they never have an...

hee hee easiest fix ever! I have done equally dumb stuff i wont mention:roll:

well that is since 1999-2004 havent been hit in almost three years unless you count the massive steel tube carts at home depot someone bumped my door pretty bad with. I am a magnet i tell ya. :tears: i was at a 4 lane main road and saw a guy haling ass to the red light in my mirror and pulled...

stock i thought was more like 125-150lbs. Could be wrong, i have replaced stocj cross bars and feet with a thule system that uses the factory longitudinal mounts and i have carry wood and ladders and deer and all sorts of stuff up there.

thanks i actually just ordered last week a video from northern tool on mig welding, i have welders i can borrow from brother and cousin. Neither one of them can lay a good looking weld to save their life, not sure i want to "learn" from them lol. Hopefully the video is worth it, i am thinking...

not particularly hard at all, i just ordered a digital camera this week, when i get it i can post pics of my seat adapetrs i had a guy laser cut for me. Steel plate and a grinder or plasma cutter could work just as well. Simply cut out excess incenter of plates, bolt plate to the top of the...

only if you "fail to stop with in safe sure distance" and rear end someone. Otherwise i am not sure if tailgating as in less than 3 car lengths is actually illegal, IF IT IS i sure would like to see it enforced. My jeep has ben hit 5 times parked or at stop lights and red lights. Tailgaters...
