    Rocker Panels

    1048966 Bounty hunter... Their not overkill for the stuff I get my self into. Yeah, there's just a little weight there also. However, my T-18 with the granny first doesn't care. I pull my Jeep to all the area's I wheel, because it's geared to low for HWY driving. (top sp of 62.5mph)...

    jeep 258 to ford 302 swap

    1048970 As mentioned above, chevy 350 are much more common. But if you already have the 302, well, your almost there. How much modification you'll need depends on how big your foot is! If your a "smart wheeler" and keep your foot "out of it" while wheeling you can probably get away with the...

    1049634 Screw extractor may work. I tried to remove my hinges, (got a new frame to install) but ran into the same problem. I don't think I'll be reusing torx when I do get them out. For me, those torx are a waste of material! If one comes out, SAE goes back in! The rear diff cover is...

    Aux. Light switch placement?

    1049649 Joopin, I'd forget about getting a light bar. You won't be happy with the way they illuminate. To install a light bar, you have to drill somewhat big holes into your windsheild framethe for the wires and the mounting hardware. These holes become cancer to your windsheild frame...

    1049769 6's are in fact WAY better than the 4's. As you probably have experienced, the 4 banger barely has enough poop to get it's self out of it's own way. The 6 has more HP and torque, which is nice when you have a jeep loaded with camping gear. Some other things to look at before...
