    Time to collectively go insane!

    Over the Jeep Lower Forty Concept. Because "Unless off-road enthusiasts collectively go insane over the Lower Forty, it won’t go into production." And this thing is about as cool as it gets! It's like a JK Rubicon mixed with a Samurai.

    Welp, I'm done!

    Sold the KJ today to a very happy college student, who couldn't get the smile off his face, which is a nice reward for all the work I've put in to it. I think he'll be happy with his purchase. I gave him the URL to this site & to LOST, so you'll probably be seeing my old KJ around here still...

    For those who've grenaded their front diff...

    What size tires were you running? I just got 32x11.5-15, & I'm starting to second guess myself. They work & look great, but I don't want to blow my diff. Maybe I should take them back for 31x10.5s?

    OK, Time to let the KJ go.

    I'm thinking I'll get a ZJ, or maybe a mid to late 90's Discovery. This board has been a great resource for me in my build, & I'll miss most of you! ;) You can see my listing in the for sale forum. http://www.jeepkj.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43341

    Land rover brags about "Differential Lock," don't we have it too?

    All it is a locking mechanism in the transfer case, so they can have full time 4WD on road, & then lock the front output to the rear output for off-road, so there is equal power to the front axle as the rear... Sounds like a NP-242 to me! & the NP-231 does the same front to rear lock, but with...

    Feeler...would NE1 want to buy my JBA 4" lift with...

    I'm putting out a feeler here. Would anyone want to buy my JBA 4" lift with 1" K-frame drop, & shaved JE Reel axles, Skid Row engine & transmission plates, MOPAR t-case & gas tank skids, front & rear tow hooks, JKS quick disconnects, Mopar trailer hitch? I'm thinking if the buyer is willing to...

    Run 32" tires with stock 3.73 ratios... issues?

    Looking for new tires & I'm thinking it's time for 32"s. I already know I should have 4.10s to do this properly, & I understand the basic disadvantages of running a big a tire on a tall gear (less MPG, more power needed, slower acceleration, etc.) I do plan on 4.10s at a later date, but I need...

    Has anyone used Pathfiner A/Ts? or Goodyear Authority

    I need to get some tires... cheap! I'm looking at 31x10.5-15. Walmart has the Goodyear Authority at $130 per tire & Discount Tire has the Pathfinder A/T for $127, bu8t they also have a $40 instant rebate, making them the better option in terms of price. The Pathfinders look like nearly...

    NE1 Have a JBA 4" lift with the Gen 4.5 UCAs?

    I have the 4" lift with older generation arms, & I'm looking for photos of the ball joint on the gen 4.5 arms at full droop. My older arms look like they pinch the boot a bit & I wonder if upgrading to the 4.5s will solve the problem.

    Do I have 8" Or 9" wide wheels?

    I have 4 15" Cragar Soft 8s. I don't remember how wide they are so I measured... they are 9" wide from outer rim to outer rim, but they are 8" from shoulder to shoulder (where the bead of the tire goes). If they are 8", are they too small for 11.5" wide tires?

    Possesed power windows

    Anyone else have this pop up? I lowered the pax side window, but when I went to raise it up, it came up, but the driver's side went down! I was only using the pax switch. So I went to raise the driver's side window, & while using only the driver's switch, Driver's window went up, & pax window...

    Photos of JE Reels at full droop no boot on 4" lift

    The boot blew out, so I removed it & cleaned out the grease to see how well this all fit together. There is 2.4mm of clearance between the axle & the cup. The joint itself is shoved deep in the cup. & I think that is the only "bad" deal going on with the 4" lift. When installing the clevis to...

    Cradle drop questions

    So, I want to drop my cradle .75"-1" to reduce some perceived stress from my 4" lift. I can't find a definitive "how-to" on doing this, but it looks pretty straight forward. I'm planning on using three to four ~1.5" wide x .25" thick steel bars stacked up to the total height. I'm assuming the...

    I'm thinking this over...

    Do you think someone would give me $7000 for my JBA 4" lift kit, if I included my 2003 KJ limited attached to it? The only draw back is that it is a repaired salvage vehicle. We bought it tat way in 2005 with 21,000 miles, it now has 107,000 & there has never been an issue with it. I'm just...

    This makes a $55,000 Hemi JK look reasonable!

    Holy crap! Well, At least it's already built. The wheels are a bit blingy for me but I'm guessing that at $110K they'd swap them out for you!:eek:

    Will 15x8 Cragar soft 8s fit?

    A good deal may be waiting for me if these wheels will fit: Cragar soft 8, 15"x8", 5x4.5 bolt pattern, 4" back space... So will they fit?:confused:

    Cooling fan With or W/O tow question

    I need to check if I'm correct here.kopkrab.gif My question is about the cooling fan set up. Looking in the parts manual, it appears that the base electric fan/shroud assembly is the same whether the KJ has the tow package or not. but if the tow package is installed, then they stack a second...

    Oh man! I'm getting tired of this!

    First, Working on my KJ is no longer fun, it's just work. Second, Mopar is really ticking me off. Changed the "Life-time" fuel filter. Total PITA. By the way, it's a small crappy filter... and it costs ~$100! Oh, & there seems to be a rumor that it has a built in fuel pressure regulator, which...
