I am a disabled veteran with brain damage, PTSD and several physical injuries. I have a severly limited income and many odds stacked against me. This jeep is therauputic to me it represents my recovery. I want to build it to tour the country and maybe do something big like the Pan American...

Matter of fact I have the whole thing pulled apart now. I am putting the shocks thru the floor and trying to reinforce everything. What tips and tricks can you give me? I want to get the max travel out of everything and I want to brace and gusset everything I can. So anything you can share is...

I haven't had to many problems out of the radius arms. I am switching from a trail rig to a fast mover though. Eventually it probably will have coilovers I just want to have the best links possible to get the most out of whatever I use. I am going to have to replace the joints and what not...

I don't have my heart set on changing it. I want to tweak modify or replace it to get the best possible performance I can with out coilovers. So please shed some knowledge on me.

Here's the deal, I have a 5.5 in RE long arm kit. I want get away from the radius arms. Before I go through the trouble to replace a functioning rig I want to be sure that it will be an improvement. I have been eyeing the poly kit and the full traction set up. I would like to re use the...

I want to plate the frame before the hoop goes in so I can tie it into that. Untill then I will run them at that awful angle. I could incorporate the cross shock hoop into the thru the floor hoop for support. It goes from frame rail to rail.

Ok so what psi of nitrogen should I run in my air bumps? They are at 200 right now and can go to 500. Has anyone got pics of an easy to make rear shock hoop?

I just don't like the angle my shocks are at. I would rather go thru the floor than try to revalve them to work at that angle.

I have pics I need to get up. I think the cross mount is ok buy I have already decided to go thru the floor when I put my cage in.

I am researching. I am either going to get a stroker or build a 4.0 and turbo it. I know it won't be cheap but it will be less than 4g. I think that a turboed 4.0 done right would make more power and get better milage than a 4.7. Plus it would be really cool.

Boostwerks makes a manifold. I would rear mount it though. AEM makes nice electronics for it. I am going to piece together a kit.

what about this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350364062791&fromMakeTrack=true I can source the other stuff. electronics etc. I am just thinking there is a way to do it for less than $4000
