Not trying to be an ol' lady here but your maximum tow rating for the unlimited is 3,500 lbs. due to the longer wheelbase over the 2,000 lb. max for the Wrangler. Can you move something 1.5 times over the maximum rating for your rig? Sure but not safely. Aside from breaking the law, your...

Ah, lets think about this for a minute. If, as Elevatorman says, "Towing capacity is based on vehicle weight,brakes,and overall ability to pull and stop safely," then I'd say a suspension lift could have an adverse effect, at least to a small degree. With the lift comes a higher center of...

Believe me, we all understand where you are coming from. We are not trying to be flippant with our responses but just advising not do something now you'll only end up re-doing down the road. For a 2-1/2" - 3" suspension lift you have basically four choices: (1) Coil Spring Spacers, (2) Coil...

...and how you plan to wheel it off road. Just a thought, IF this IS your daily driver, I mean, something you are going to spend a lot of time behind the steering wheel in, then why wouldn't you want a "top of the line lift"? Cheese out on your shocks and/or springs now and you'll kick...

Just thinking about your question still and thought it may help if you take a look at how someone built their TJ over a period of years. Stu Olson has a great web site with a treasure of "how to" information on modifying and maintaining a Wrangler. Take a look at: Site Index

As a Rubicon owner let me say that it is definitely not necessary. Is it a way to go if you want something "pre-built" from the factory that carries a full warranty? Yes. Front and rear locking differentials (esp. rear) are very desirable and the NV241OR transfer case is a proven winner, and the...

Bienvenido friend! There is nothing wrong with your computer. Do not attempt to adjust the monitor. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it brighter, we will bring up the contrast. If we wish to change the colors, we will adjust the gamma. We will control the horizontal. We will...

I haven't used these products yet but am an overall fan of Eastwood's stuff. The list is too long to remember of everything I have used from them but I've never been disappointed with the results. They worked as advertised as long as the full procedure is followed. They have been in business for...

Actually, Johnson Controls acquired Optima battery from a Swedish manufacture back in August, 2000. Optima batteries are manufactured by Johnson Controls in their Monterey, Mexico facility. See video: Contact Optima Batteries Ð Contact Us - Customer Service - Public Relations - Advertising...

Ian, find out what year it is then we can offer a reasonable guesstimate at what it might be worth. However, without some good photos it's gonna be tough. Example: Rust ain't gonna creep up in just one place. If you have some fairly severe cancer going on on one body panel you'd better...

I too, change oil frequently. I do spend the extra coin on synthetics for everything there's an application for as I am sold on the added benefits and performance characteristics. To me the additional expense is just cheap insurance. Whether or not there's a shread of validity of this I have no...

I'm not an automatic transmission specialist by any stretch but as long as there is no clunking or jerking while going from Park or Neutral into Drive and there is also no long (>1 second) delay of it engaging when shifted, I'd say it's pretty normal. Due to our Jeep's lower gearing and low...

"If" you have the fab skills, time and tools, then I'd agree making your own would allow you the most freedom in getting exactly what you want or need. However, a piece of safety equipment like a roll cage is not the project to learn how to bend and weld tubing on. Ensuring good design...

'Zactly my thoughts. Love the 5150's, wating to move up to the 5160's.

According to the VIN decoders in the links I've listed, a serial number of 57548 (almost smack middle in the span between serial numbers 45923 through 68815) would indicate a 1957 CJ5. Yes? '55 CJ5's carried the serial numbers from 10001 through 27006.

According to Novak Conversions, "1987-present 4.0L engines require crank position sensing (CPS or CKP), so any installation using an earlier 258 bellhousing requires a modification to accept this sensor. Novak assists many customers with these bellhousings. Note that 4.0L flywheels have a tooth...
