okay so i just got this 88'xj (4.0, 5spd, 4x4) for $100 (guy said it needed a clutch) get it home (towed) and noticce hte resevior is empty...hmmm...put fluid in, pumped it...drove it around. the thing reaked of burnt clutch though...so we are going to do the slave and cluth anyway.
this thing has a/c that does not work, so can i just pull all of the a/c stuff out including the "radiator for it" so the main radiator will get more air and run a little cooler? (don't want to convert it to onboard air, just want to free up some h.p. and run a little cooler)
next is the cat, i don't have to worry about emisions, the cat looks somewhat new...but it needs a catback badly...so for $105 to my door i'm getting the dynomax cat back and might replace the cat with a strait pipe. if i do get rid of the cat....will it help...or hurt?
now, for the main use of the truck will be onroad comuting to work (construction) and the ocasinal "mild" offraoding (basically muddy orcards), so i don't want to go more than 3" in lift..and don't need crazy articulation. i want to go 31x10 on black craigers...but i might do a 2" ome kit and just run 30x9's. i amd not going to be a hard core offroader...no need to keep braking things and fixing them. but i love the look of the 3" with 31's...it looks perfect to me.
so with that said...woud my drive line be safer (geometry wise) with the 2" ome. or sould i just go with a 3-3.5" re lift?
sorry for a long post...and bad spelling
thanks
