Nice!

By the looks of those pics...it would seem that you were trying to sell it. hah

Do you wheel it much Valermos?

**E-99 king** · June 5th, 06:36 PM

I definitly wasn't trying to sell it, lol. I've only had it for 4 months now. I'm definitly keeping it for a long time. The motor only has 400 miles on it since it was rebuilt and it love it to death. I almost bought a TJ at first, but I dont like them as much as YJ's and CJ's. I test drove a few TJ's and they just didnt have that rugged, balls out feel that YJ's and especially CJ's have. I wheel it about once a month right now, hopefully more after I graduate high school. I'm going up to Drummond Island in 2 weeks, and then Badlands ORP in Indiana in about a month.

Sweet, sounds like you have some fun up ahead planned.

Man...you need to quit messin around and throw some 35"s, 401 V8, and rhino-line the interior, lol.

My next mod is a 401. This 304 is great and all, but I want bigger! I will also probably do a SOA to get some more lift.

**DaBluedevil** · June 5th, 08:11 PM

I wish i had the money for a project jeep. It wouldn't be smart for me though. I have no where to keep it and no money to insure that and my daily driver while i'm workin on it. If I did though, I'd definatley rhinoliner the inside and out, vinyl seats, and then of course all the usual for lift and such.

Definately a nice jeep though. You locked yet?

BigYellaJeep · June 5th, 08:19 PM

In the rear, I have a Lock-Rite. I'm planning on putting a full locker up front though.

**DaBluedevil** · June 5th, 08:39 PM

Good call. Lockers are great, especially if you are a mudder.

BigYellaJeep · June 5th, 08:52 PM

Surely there are some more Jeepers out here....

***auto maggot*** · June 5th, 09:09 PM

i had a 74 cj-5 with a amc 360/3spd, same mods as every other 360, edelbrock performer intake, rv cam, headers. then i sold it and picked up a 81 cj7 that had a stock rebuilt 360 out of a 79 waggy in it, put a edelbrock intake on it, 1406 carb, performer plus cam and headers. other pics are just my z71.

**HuNtS** · June 6th, 12:31 AM

if i get another one it's gonna be a newer xj sport, or an mj with a 4.0, one of them will become my project.. maybe i'll go balls out and do a tube frame, and some rigorous sawzall work... turn it into a half buggy xj.. i'd like a 4.0 with a 5 speed though instead of a 2.5 with a 5 speed

**crustybug** · June 6th, 05:44 PM

yup...the 2.5 is not my engine of choice by far. ITts not like its any easier to work on than a 4.0 anyways.

***Rick78*** · June 6th, 05:54 PM

i just thought id let u guys know, i worked on a 94 jeep today, ran like new, had the 4.0, no leaks or anything from the engine, 250,000 miles. But i dont wanna give the jeep guys too big of a head cause everything else was falling apart, lol.

**crustybug** · June 6th, 05:57 PM

lol, you have to change everything else out before the engine goes bad. I heard it was the same way with the 1st. gen broncos, but thats because the body rusted away to nothing.

BigYellaJeep · June 6th, 07:19 PM

Well, I know that my original I-6 that had over 250K miles on it ran strong and dauntless...Never had a problem with it.

Then I made the mistake by switching to an AMC 304 V8 which has given me nothing but problems, hahaha. Ok, so the main problems lie with the engine to tranny matching, but that's a different story.

Dang, you have enough vehicles there Pat?!? lol

**deejuks2** · June 6th, 09:56 PM

**HuNtS** · June 22nd, 09:28 PM

i think hopefully if i can get mine running again (long story about electrical problems) i'm gonna go with a 3.5 inch rubicon express lift, and maybe, MAYBE some trXus mud terrain 33's.. i might trim the fenders/remove the flares also... maybe a little sawzall work.. hehehe

EDIT: what oyu think about these tires yella? http://www.quadratec.com/products/92610_30X_PG.htm
