1067140 you guys leave the back seat in? I took that thing out the day i got it.[addsig]

1067250 ... yeah especially since you can pick up a sawz-all at HD for 40 bucks and do it yourself! ;-) [addsig]

1067251 my ex-girl had a 2.5 -- It was fine but getting in it after driving my 6 was disappointing. I would never get one for myself. Gas mileage was not much different between the two-- we both got around 17. Although a 4 should get better mileage than a 6, it had such steep gears that when...

1067252 Heat rises -- never, ever run an exhaust pipe under a gas tank. To the side is okay no less than 4" (at the very absolute minimum). If its that close, its also better to raise it vertically so it runs parallel to the top of the tank so that the rising heat will hit less area of the...

1067803 If you're going to stick with 33's I would go with the 4.10-- remember, there's such a thing as too much gear also. 33's with 4.56 gears would make it tough to go 75 for an extended period of time. Would kill your mpg also. Edited to add - 3.73 is added automatically when you add the...

1067976 I would go with the 4.11. In answer to your earlier question, yes you can have too much gear. 3.07 with 33's is not enough gear-- result is when you shift into fifth the engine RPM drops so low that you cannot accelerate or sometimes even maintain speed. 4.56 gears with 33's would be...

1068758 normally i would jump on a recall, but it sounds like they are going to just throw a big piece of plastic over the manifold-- thought maybe someone would have one to tell if there's something special about it-- pros and cons-- maybe gets in the way of aftermarket intakes or...

1068768 think i will.. thanks![addsig]

1069061 this is my preliminary design--- a 3 piece cover attached by steel rods and some kind of locks -- using the roll bars for support: I'll let you all know when it happens[addsig]

1069160 I tried for a long time, with multiple jacks and couldnt figure it out... oh well.. I was a little tense because the install wasn't quite as easy as I had expected. As far as the cat-back goes--here is my review thus far: I went with the Banks stinger system (for the 6). So far it...

1069163 what kind of gear do you need to run 37's? 5:11?[addsig]

1069195 Did they ever sell jeeps in australia? I've seen some wacky old mopars that were originally sold in kangaroo-land. They all had right hand steering wheels and weird configurations -- like a '72 GTX with a slant 6. etc. [addsig]

1069201 it's only got 20k miles now... is it worth a trip to the dealer or just wait til its there for other warranty stuff? [addsig]

1069214 i tend to agree with jeeppicus.... why not just build a chevy? and from my experience, no engine swap is ever easy, especially if it entails a drastic change in size. If you want some more power get the supercharger and bolt it on to the 6 in an afternoon--- still a jeep with comparable...

1069318 ...or if you're really into doing a swap go for a chrysler 360 --at least keep it in the mopar family[addsig]

1069330 One word-- test. Start at the power end and test every connection. sounds like you just have a loose wire nut or bad crimp. [addsig]

1069333 what does the insurance industry have to do with anything? DC doesnt care how much you have to pay to insure a jeep... they certainly dont have to pay to insure your jeep themselves. Does the insurance industry prevent them from selling the 500 HP viper? From putting a 340 HP hemi into...

1069355 But selling a "limited run" would not cover the overhead cost of engineering a new v-8 wrangler platform. And what does that have to do with insurance companies? I don't see any correlation -- I don't even think that a V-8 wrangler would be that much more to insure.[addsig]

1065467 Jeep's an '02 - I got it with pretty much everything you could get from the factory - Dana 44, positraction, 3.73, tow hooks, etc. Like i said before, this is the first time I've ever done a fuel injected vehicle, have always been a muscle car guy. Stuff like the lift and tires and...

1065631 Thanks for the input everyone! I live in PA so the cat has to stay, unfortunately. Otherwise I would have had it off the day i got it. Vavs how do you like the glasspack? I want my jeep to be loud... not rice rocket/lawnmower loud but throaty loud. I assume the glass packs would be too...
