    4.7 or 5.7 Swap

    That is an interesting suggestion, also there is one laying in my local junkyard. But sadly the 160hp won't cut it for the type of offroading we do here (big big dunes, 70mph and some ratatata).

    4.7 or 5.7 Swap

    Thanks. If I was going for a real build with a real budget I would definitely get an ls and 4l80, no question. But I wanted to do an oem+ kind of swap, I will keep the v8 stock. I am pretty sure it will cost much much less to drop in a Jeep engine in there rather than getting an ls and custom...

    4.7 or 5.7 Swap

    Hello everyone I have an 05 KJ. Since I own it I had very bad luck with the 3.7, first blew up 5 years ago after a year of ownership because of water pump failure, replaced the whole engine, lasted until a year ago when the conrods went knock knock. Now a few months ago I installed another 3.7...

    Ome 947 or 948

    Went on a quick dune drive for 20min and I am really impressed and really feel a big difference in comparison to the stock setup. I was always "bottoming out" on the shocks and was always at full compression when jumping or hitting bumps, now it really absorbs very well. Really happy of the way...

    Roof lights modification

    This is exactly what i was looking for thanks a lot. My kj is an 05, I have very bright led bulbs and a small fog led lightbar, not very bright, I might remove it. I need to see in the distance for dune driving in the night

    Roof lights modification

    Hi everyone, I am willing to buy oem renegade roof lights, I want to know if you can easily change the lights inside, I want to put serious led spot lights, rigid or baja design style. Can you just bolt them directly under the plastic cover ? Also how do you mount the lights to the roof?

    Ome 947 or 948

    L Little update, I finally got everything mounted, I bought some fox 2.0 for the back, they were around 4 inches longer than the stock shocks when uncompressed. I bought them used from a small suspension shop for 120$ the pair, he told me they were for gmc trucks and grand cherokees, they...

    OME strut top nut spinning

    Hi everyone, I just bought a pair of used ome struts with 927 springs, on one of the shock the plastic dust cover inside is moving around and not in a fixed position like on the other shock, also the nut on top of the strut shaft is spinning almost freely, with little effort.. is it normal or is...

    Alignment for 2.5 lift

    I already read this thread before, I was unsure of the end result. So if I got it right it is stock specs but 2.5 to 3 for the caster with the right .5 higher than left

    Alignment for 2.5 lift

    Hi everyone, I am getting a 2.5 lift on my kj (ome 927/947) and have 265/70r16 mt wheels. I have quite a lot of negative camber in the front because of my oversied tires and no lift, I guess it'll get better with the lift and alignment. My question is do i get an alignment at factory specs ? If...

    Ome 947 or 948

    Back from the junkyard, I took the front 927 with ome strut and the 947 coil springs for the rear. Unfortunately did not find shocks for the rear, is it okay to run the taller springs with the stock shock for now? If not I want to put some tj fox 2.0, good idea or not?
