if it works, it works

A Chevy Volt will get me to work, but I'm still going to drive my Hardbody.

Not in bad weather.

and frame repair!

been there done that

sounds like im not the only one who spends all day every day working on their pathy!! lol

so far we're successful though!

scary stuff ... im about to fix a crack in the rear of my frame and about a 2x3" section of the bottom of the rail that is missing, right by the panhard frame mount. should be fun to fix, at least its the only rust on the frame!!

mine is along the driver side.. and a small spot on the passenger side..so far no body rust..thankfully. Just have to see about getting the rust spots on the frame fixed and i'm good!

Although this is written just about everywhere on this site, look up a torsion bar IFS. It uses metal bars with splines, and the twist these bars allow gives it the "spring". By cranking/adjusting this system to preset at a higher level, you lift it, but you must replace the upper control arms with aftermarket to maintain proper balljoint alignment.

oh!

I've looked at the stuff on T-bars..but never completely understood what they did..thanks for clearing that up for me!

I just remember reading how to index them.. thanks!

again with the flooring it past someone doing 35 in a 55zone?! was it another granny, too? 6k RPM? is that 2nd or 3rd gear?

Yep! I was actually in a hurry..so it really aggravated me after 4 miles... i think it kicked down to 2nd for that to happen..it was pretty intense at the power it brought..

I'll say! When I kick my Mongoose down to second gear I really go flying!

This used to be a nice neighborhood until the grans moved in.

hahaha!! That's funny.

On the plus side..driving like a granny and airing my tires up properly to 35psi, i reached 24mpg! CEL has nothing on me.

Welding tip: Good welds start with clean metal at the joint.

^this x2

clean the metal as best you can

They're on the Juke now.

OH. i was supposed to reset the computer when i installed it?!

Oops..

So how much HP did those stickers add?

140% increase!

he underapreciates his wd21...lol

spell check miss-interpreted his horrible attempt at spelling under powered?

So how much power do you want from an engine the size of a size 10 shoe?

No they dont. I had blanks made at wally world and they worked fine.

does it set the alarm off right away? cause that's bizarre. Unless you're locking it with your keyfob, then unlocking with the key, that shouldn't happen.

ohh..yeah..i usually do lock it with the key fob..

hmm..it sets it off as soon as i open the door.. but what i dont get is..i unlock my doors by turning it twice, with both keys, my original key doesnt do it..yet, my new key will set the alarm off, even though the alarm system LET the key tell the alarm brains to open the doors.. i wonder if the new key wasnt made right or something..?

Valve cover gasket or in my case bad pressure sensor (leaking). Somewhere you have an small oil leak and it is hitting your exhaust, in most cases it is a valve cover gasket but it could be elsewhere. Take a look under the hood and underneath for leaking oil. If you don't see anything try a piece of clean cardboard under the engine, it should be long enough to reach the the transmission housing, next time you park at home.

You just want to make sure nothing critical is leak...

very true! Thanks!

actually my passenger valve cover is a little dirty/moist..hmmmmmm..

*appear to be losing.

*are in the process of easily passing you

lol

That's what i said! There's no way they're getting that.. it's just two jeep friends saying they're getting that gas mileage..when the most i can reach is 22.

what jeeps had v8s? Besides the Wagoneer, I think everything else had either the I4 or the I6?

Grand Cherokee had a V8 option at some point

Only the square dash models have the cruise control switch backlit but it's not on the steering wheel.

The dash switch on my 95 for cruise lights up but the steering wheel controls (set/cancel) don't.

Really? I thought the cruise control switch was on the steering wheel too. Durrr...

remember to get something with a load coil when doing the turn signals so that you don't get flashers on hyper-speed

Mine were 12 bux for 2 lights. I luv em!! I think there are 14 leds/light. Bright! I got the white ones. DO IT!!

if tryign to just get them to glow amber, get a pair of 194a bulbs (standard amber tinted 194 bulbs) or at least good LED bulbs as the cheapie single LED bulbs at pep boys ain't gonna give the effect your looking for

yeah that's what i mean you can't buy el cheapo leds if you want this to work right

why not?

Not for wheelin. Thats how i blew my motor up

cold mud intake...
