nice work, I'm curious with the black/white contrast, what it would look like if the fender flares were black. surely it could be photoshopped first to get an idea, but I think it might look good. keep up the good work

easier? yes right? no for the most part, the longer the better (close too or matching drag link ideally), and if he can gain an inch or 2 frame side, why wouldn't he?

no problem, I can't remember if the intake is 62mm diameter or not, and I am not near my heep so I can't go check... but the TB comes off rather easy, if you had a set of callipers you could find out quick. if it needed to be bored out... well I'd want to ensure no filings/shavings got into the...

1. I have a 60mm TB, I really didn't notice much of a improvement over stock, but that's because I didn't often drive at WOT (wide open throttle), which is where you will really notice the added flow. Normal driving, stop n go, cruising, etc it won't be much different... until you floor it...

never used it, but this piece looks pretty good http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=852/category_id=-1/home_id=-1/mode=prod/prd852.htm I just wired the 2 speeds to a 3 position switch ON-OFF-ON ON = high speed OFF ON = low speed with one of those safety covers...

Great information thanks. I have done much of what you advised... unwrapped, trace, remove, repeat. Will mark and ensure I keep those vital ones, and try to update this thread in time with how things go. Thanks

wow, your grasp of the obvious is bang on. thanks for, keepin it real! I have an '97 FSM here too, that's what I used to cut out what I have already. There were some I couldn't tell the difference/colours of, but new where the came from/went too... so felt ok getting rid of them anyway. I will...

is that for the 97 harness you mean? I am unfamiliar with the older OBD1 harness' I am thinking I may have to skip this order, and go at it myself. Figure out what I can keep from the stock harness, and cut out the rest. If it's ECU or TCU, it stays. Get it running again, go about tracing...

Thanks for the info. Like I said I've already rid most of the useless stuff from the firewall back, but not I am getting into wiring I am not comfortable cutting out. Stuff from the steering column area and into the engine bay. If I could get a guy to strip a '97 compatible harness so I could...

I have a a trail only buggy, no need for stock lighting, stereo, a/c, heat, etc. I have thousands of little wires running all over the place... many of which I have already cut out (signal lights, interior lights, speaker wires, etc) the point of the mod is to remove all but required wiring...

I am interested in having a guy cut down a wiring harness for my 1997 XJ buggy. He normally does OBD1 harness', cuts them down to; fuel pump, keyed, ground, 12v, etc, bare minimum anyway I told him I have a '97, and we both questioned whether the older harness would work with the newer engine...

making stiffiners with angle iron is simple... it just read like you wanted to make some that followed every little angle of the rails. But when cross cut, they look more like a U then a l_l

I'm not sure what tools the OP has at their disposal... but bending 1 continuous piece metal about 5' long, with 2x 45* bends in it about 1" from another is not a simple procedure. a piece of 3x3 angle iron will work, but then you have the 45* gap...which unless you spend a ton of time capping...

as always, things (as in I) moved slower then expected... but the rear 4 link is in place. coil overs and ORI's didn't get touched, maybe next time. with everything together the numbers look like this; Uppers = 35" Uppers Frame Sep. = 33" Uppers Axle Sep. = 4.5" Lowers = 40" Lowers Frame...

my thoughts 1. a holo sight is only good if there's enough ambient light to see the animal, if there's that much light iron sights would probably work anyway. 2. laser is good as in if it's sighted in, you can shoot from the hip, but you still need to see the animal in the darkness, but you...

all tube work thus far was the imagination of a buddy I had do it. I gave him some "ideas", other then that it was all up to him... I'm rather pleased with it myself tho. no, and that is a concern with only 2 clamps. the way they are laid out they can't really move to the pass side as the...

It's been a little while since I've had time to work on this... September 1st we welcomed our second son, Fallon David McCrea, and although he is super calm and almost too easy on us (just like his big bro) it's hard to find the time to get out and work on this thing. so delete the few posts...

I didn't run mine that long (before hacking rear 1/2 off for a trail rig) but I was able to push the shock mounts further out on the axle, so they were atop the leaf perches. With the shocks further out, and mounted through the floor I could get a much better angle on them, which made for a much...

uppers 75% of lowers mount the lower brackets close to the inside of the frame rail, angled out as far on the axle as possible. any angle you can get on the lowers will aid against rear steer. uppers, against the frame rail like you mentioned, and here's a kick as bracket from RuffStuff which...

this some kind of weird jeep porn? or did someone take the "you can kiss my a$$" idea a little too far?
