73’ CJ. Not even sure how much of it is even CJ anymore. The body isn’t, the engine isn’t, the axles and transmission are not. We modded power steering as well.
Been in my family since before I could walk. My father and I have frame off restored it 3x now. I’ll do it again with my son in a few...
This is what I am thinking and looking to confirm. I don’t necessarily want to be over geared for 35s as that’s likely where I’ll stay (and am.) They are heavy 35s though at 73lbs each. That gives me some comfort being slightly over geared spinning so much mass. The plus side is that the weight...
Also- does brand really matter based on the 3-5 available? I happen to be looking at revolution gears because I can get a small discount on them. There is also Yukon and spicer. Seems from my reading that you can basically throw a dart and where it lands is fine between the group.
Just need some validation. I’ve read arguably every thread for the last 5 months and “decided” on 4.56 on 35s.
Stats:
-overland on 3.73
-35” MT Baja boss with 2.5” lift
- live at sea level 1 mile from the ocean
-no load or heavy gear
-no towing other than a utility trailer a few times a year...
I like a little “flair” so had the idea of getting those as well. Curious if I could completely cover the letter faces in wide painters tape then use an xacto to trim. Once masked id spray them with Mojave orange. The idea would be all black single layer with just a touch of orange only on the...
I just did one for a winch opening. I would mock it in cardboard and get it perfect. Get a piece of aluminum and use a metal blade in a jigsaw. Sand the burrs off the edges. Give it a few coats of bumper black and you’ll be in business. Secure it with what looks like 2 machine screws and nuts...
I did a small write up on the T spacing on my badge install. Had good info from another member. Messed something else up… but my T spacing is perfect!
It’s pretty weak. On the highway on a slight downhill it may shift into 8th at 75mph for a brief second. Any slight hill at all and it’ll drop down to 5th or 6th to get over it. Merging onto the highway with a healthy dose of pedal down it’ll rev around 4-5k rpm’s until you finally let off the...
$500 or BRO
Plate blurred because there are now 2 threads which told me not to.
Had on my Jeep for maybe 4 weeks. No marks or signs of wear on it. Can accommodate factory fogs using some of your hardware. Only selling because I was impatient and ordered another style also on back order. That...
I’ve got alerts set for these and haven’t seen one yet. Of all things though a 1 year old clearlidz popped up. They want $1200 which is too steep for used though.
Makes me want to fly out to wherever you are and swap your parts like some sort of jeep fairy god mother. Mostly for my own benefit because it’s fun.
