Redrooster - 1. Still researching what top end will be with 34's and 1:1 final drive (even though my current trans has 5th), but would like to be able to comfortably do 65mph. 4. You mentioned "Wrangler" in your post. It's for an '84 CJ7 w/ pass side drop, so I'd stick to the chevy stuff...

1. http://www.chuckschevytruckpages.com/73-87specs.html - Lots of spec info. Gearing is about 3/4 of the way down. Looks like a lot of variety in axles over the years. It's good info if you're looking at the same swap. -X

Quite some time ago, Jps4Jeep said that a beat 73-87 chevy 1-ton pickup would be a good buy to upgrade axles. http://www.jeepz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16521 Since there seems to be an abundance of these and the transmission also sounds nice, I have a couple questions: 1. Gearing. Should...

I thought this would be a quick easy search, but I'm coming up empty handed. 1. Does the trans take transmission fluid or gear oil? I've got a T-5 transmission and D300 Xfer case. Any advice on brand or type? 2. Also, is there a certain type of gear oil I should use for replacement in my...

Quadratec's service is very good. I work 5 miles from them, so they are local business for me, too. Their return policy is very lenient. I've returned things for full credit that were two weeks past their "cut off". They also match prices... even Internet prices. When you call, you can give...

Don't mean to Hi-jak, but Dingus, are you ever in the Reading area? I swear I saw your rig on 422 near the Wawa a month or so back. I almost stopped. -X

Have you checked out the events section? The PA guys always post their digs there. Maybe there's some Jeepers in your area posting as well. http://www.jeepz.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10 -X

Wow! I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by the photochop or the fact that TC had a picture of the real thing.... handy.

Ha ha... Mud said "anal".

Zing!!! I did not glue my gasket down. When I redid the body, I replaced the windshield seal as well. Screwed it down and knobbed the windshield in. I reseated the windshield after a month or so while I was going over re-aligning the doors and such. It dripped a bit for the first month...

Alright, I've got to be the voice of sanity here. $5K IS steep. I've seen them sit and sit and sit around here (near Philly, not too far away). You're no stoop; you can fix what is ailing a Jeep... and that's part of the fun. BUT... three things worth considering: 1. When I bought my CJ7...

That's a shame people have to be like that. The guy tried to get you to buy that sweet body kit he's been looking at on Ebay... every day. The shame of it is that the insurance won't replace the $30 altezza's, but will give him $150 for a factory light housing. That'll leave him enough to...

The ones from the Jeep site are photoshopped into the backrounds. That's tacky. -X

Yeah, what Bounty said. If I'm not mistaken, the wiring for the motor goes under the windsheild, which would have meant a hack job or moving the windsheild anyway. -X

TK? That's weird... weird enough to not be right.

What kind of Jeep? A YJ or TJ? -X

As the rest said, it is a matter of preference. I will tell you though, that heat wouldn't be my concern. I have a CJ7 w/ a bit of an overheating issue. The heat from the motor / heater blows me out and I wind up turning the heat off and cracking a window. It has hard doors currently and a...
