Casey.T Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) Your gonna love this..... Timing Belt??? Do you know if it has been changed recently?? Need to check and change it... cheap insurance against replacing the motor as I did... Thorley's Headers to eliminate that Tap in the mornings when you start it... Suspension Lift Body Lift hehe Welcome Edited February 2, 2007 by Casey.T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowManR6 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 ok just to be more specific, with the timing belt, just changing it...? elaborate sorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 yeah, if it hasnt been changed, or you dont know if its been changed, it's likely due... we have a few members who learned the hard way... For offroading, your first good mods are tires (theres a tire review thread, have a read...) and recovery points... then you can look at lifts, and protection. Welcome to the board!

ShadowManR6 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 (edited) ya i got myself and a friend (jeep grand cherokee) starting to see about putting some time into our trucks, now at this point cause of cost, i know a body lift would be cheaper, but for the sake of better performance would a body lift or suspension be the better choice at this point, anyone outta las vegas, nv or that particular area? nothin but dry stuff around us hehe and thanks for the welcome Edited February 2, 2007 by ShadowManR6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowManR6 Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 what would be the appropriate range for a body lift, been lookin at the 3inch anything more seems unneccessary at this point (runnin on 30inch tires atm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88_Pathy Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Do a 3 in suspension lift a rear locker and 32s and it will be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
