Hey all...just out here on Long Island wheelin my bone-stock 2010 JK...

http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y367/tg426/IMG_6826.jpg

Upgrades when time and $ permit but for now just trying not to get too stuck. Been on JKowners for about a year but have been making a bunch of friends with other 4x4's. Saw a lifted orange XJ in Holbrook today with a Pirate4x4.com sticker so figured I would log-in here...very cool rig, anyone's???

Howdy gang! :)
Virginia based Jeeper.
2006 LJ, DD so it's basically stock. Heard many good things about Pirate 4x4 from friends figured it was time to join so I could search the threads and learn from the wise/sage/insane who have gone before me.

Im new to the jeep and 4x4 thing but I am learning as I go ... I got a 87 YJ project going on and am full of questions ... Thanks

I have been surfing this forum for a while, and finally decided to check it out officially. Been on JF for a while, and also member at Rovers only and a few others. I own a 05 Rubicon LJ, and a 04 LR Disco. I wheel them both as much as I can. The LJ was getting to a point where it isnt getting driven on road as much, so I keep the rover pretty much stock for on road driving, with only a 2" lift and 31" tires. The LJ has a 5.5" RK LA lift, intake, exhaust work, and too many mods and toys to list here. I am always tweaking something on it. I am an EOD tech (Explosives Ordnance Disposal (Bomb Squad)) in the Army, have been since 2007. Entered AD in 1996 with a break in service. Reenlisted in 2005. Currently on my 6th deployment, and in Afghanistan as I write this. Should be home in June. Always looking to expand my knowledge of driving, modding, maintaining, and repairing the machines that I love to play with. I will update with some Pics of my toys when I get home..

Kinda a newbie... New to this forum. Love being in the woods any way possible, especially in the jeep. Or any vehicle for that matter. :)

Yep i'm new and just bought my first jeep. ssoooo here we go.

How often should i change the air in my tires?:flipoff2::flipoff2:

New to the board, great site!!!!! Did you know diesel fuel makes an excellent replacement for engine oil? Just be sure to add a lit match to the mixture after you fill the motor to its proper level. If a match cannot be found, you can use a small stick or piece of paper. Just make sure your engine is at operating temperature and running at time of ignition for best results :mad3:

Hello new here from KY. Just bought a 95 yj with a 4cyl. That has stock suspension. Still havent decided on the lift yet. Thinking of a spring over and 33s. Joined the site hoping to find a few deals on parts and info on what I would need for the steering compnents if I do a spring over. All help will be appreciated.

new here from Oklahoma. Got two 4x4 on jeep and one yota. working on repairing the renegade or selling it and starting over with a different CJ

68 cj 5 350 upgrade 36x12.5 and new to everything. I got steering upgrade issues and i know how common that is! Putting power steering on a Dana 27 how do you set up the tie rods on the passenger side?

New here fom Australia. I have a 96 ZJ grand 4.5inch lift, cage, trussed and locked front and rear, frame plated, custom front and rear bars, tsl's. It needs some work but looking at racing it this year

Hello Everyone!

I'm kinda new to this site, but not to the 4wheel life. Yes, for those that catch it, I introduced myself and my Jeep in the 'Yota newbee into thread the other day... Deleted that post, and put it where it/I belong. Simply my mistake. Show me the plank! I'll walk it! Lord knows I've survived far worse!

Below is my current 2005 LJ Rubi. Not going to bore anyone with a list of mods. done to her, although have some big suspension changes coming in near future as time and $$s allow...

Hey, I'm Eric I live in south-eastern CT I've had this 93 XJ for around 3 years and have been building and wheeling it since the day I drove it home. It has some goodies dana 44 rear, custom tom woods driveshaft, rc8 winch, surco safari roof rack with spare tire mount, and 35"s are soon to come.

One of my favorites, pulling a stuck F350 out of 3 feet of snow with my little beast (taken after I pulled him from where he was stuck out onto the road).

Sweet paint job! What's with the mini hood scoop?

hello everyone just signed up , name is joey and just got a 76 cherokee chief. looking forward to the ideas and helpful tips .:)

Been lurking here for awhile and enjoy the write ups.

Finally decided to sign up.

Great looking forum!

Nebie to Pirate just saying hi. I just recently bought my first Jeep, it's a bone stock '68 CJ6. For the past 20 yrs I've been building muscle cars and hotrods, but i am real stocked about this jeep build. I will be starting a build thread soon.

Hi, I am new to the 4X4 community. I just rebuilt an 86 Jeep J10 and came here for some answers. The truck is running great, rebuilt motor, transmission, and transfer case. But my front axle wont lock because of a vacuum problem and came here for some answers. I also want to do a soa conversion but my front axle has a lip where the u bolt crosses next to the pumpkin which wont allow the leaf springs to sit flush on top.:mad3: A point in the right direction would really help.
Thanks.

Just got a bastardized 1964 CJ5. Found this site by searching for info on my current steering box which needs to be replaced NOW!!!
Hopefully can get some help on that here and meet some new folks.

New to Pirate. Been wheeling for almost 2 years. Lucky enough to join a group that knows their stuff pretty well. TJ started off as a tow behind the RV. Let's say it's not the same jeep any more.:grinpimp:

Just bought my first jeep, 74 CJ5. Looking for helpful info.

Hi, names kyle. I'm new to Pirate, but i've been wheelin with JT4x4 for the last 4 years in Eastern Connecticut. Just finished my tour in the Navy and am now back home in Texas. Got a 2000 TJ with some stuff. :D

Currently my jeep is on jack stands awaiting some attention to the front axle. It has D44's front and back. ARB and 35 spline chromo's in the rear and a broken stock Rubi up front. Poisen Sypder Rockers, Trail Corners and trail cage. It has 35" Kevlar MT/R's, Currie Antirock and drag link. A 4" Tera Flex SA lift, 1" body lift. Edge Trailjammer chip and throttle body. Header and Magna flow exhaust. Fabtec front bumper with a Warn XD9000i winch and a Warn rear bumper.

I'm new to the whole 4x4 thing. I've been driving a mostly stock '92 tracker (swapped in a16V and 5spd) for several years now as a way to economically get to the mountains in the winter, but have recently decided I want a slightly larger and more comfortable rig. I'm looking at purchasing a 1997-2001 XJ in the near future and figured this would be a good site to figure out what to look for and watch out for prior to purchasing. I have no plans to turn the XJ into a hard-core wheeler (as of yet), but wouldn't mind a mild lift that will allow me to have some fun and go on some of the local trails in the PNW.

hey lads, bought myself a 1991 Wrangler, white with a black hard top.
She's in rough shape but on Thursday she gets a new motor and paint.

No rust at all on her and she drives perfectly, no pulling or road walking.

Is there a thread about posting restos or build-ups?

O and nice site!:homer:

I'm a Jeep guy, and have modified and wheeled four YJ's and 2 XJ's. Now I'm old and in a ZJ Grand! -Gonna do a little to it, but not much, as it will be my DD.
I belong to other Jeep forums, but one in particular has devolved into mostly kids asking whether or not they need to upgrade their alternator to run bigger subs. :shaking:

Hopefully I'll see you on the trails!

Rusty CJ here,
I finally pulled away from Chevy and got a 67 CJ5 or rather whats left of it. Got tired of bouncing around the internet and getting no answers so I decided to join a forum to get real world answers. Does anyone have experience or opions of the following fiberglass body manufacturers;
US Body
4WD
Shell Valley
Kentrol

Thanks

I am obviously new here and I am looking forward to the smart-ass comments I am sure most will leave. I am sure this info will help me a lot in my quest to have the baddest street legal wj without it looking like a pure butcher job

Hi, I am just getting to the crossroads of either staying legal or going trailer rig with an 87 YJ. I would list everything I have but I am keyboard lazy, and no one really cares.

I am on JF and Reno4x4 as well, but every time I am looking up something tech/mod/fab Google seems to reference this forum the majority of the time. So I paid the $20 to support such a vast amount of knowledge, and wonderful flames in the Hardcore section. Truly a pleasure to read.

FNG checking in. Been a longtime Jeeper and wanted to show what I got. 79 CJ5 with a ton of work into the build. More to come.

https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Country-Boy-Crawlers/111158648969338

My name is Larry I have been fumbling through here for a little while but I need help! I have looked and either can not find or understand why my coils are saging on the rear mostly on the passenger side. I have a 4" fabtech lift with 35" tires warn bumpers winch on the front w/fullsize spare, gas tank skid, rock sliders. I have built my own radius Y arms up front they work great. I have not linked the rear yet. That will happen soon I hope. Are there different springs or rates that would work better for me? I do carry a lot of gear when I wheel and camp. This is also a daily driver, I just went to change my rear shocks and found that I do not have a bump stop on the passenger side. Could I have compressed the coil to far when I had on my 33" tires. :confused:

Hey guys just got my first wrangler I have always wanted one but was always shy of the money. I got a 98 tj with a rancho suspension lift sitting on 33s, banks headers, flowmaster catback with a turn down, AC delete, K&N intake (but I'm gonna put a Airaid with the spacer in her) and im thinking about getting a jet chip as well. Shes pretty much gonna be my toy and unfortunatly DD :(

The rig is again unfortunately my DD and I love doing weekly desert offraoding as well. I plan to put D44 or Ford 8.8 axle swap very soon to run 33"tires thus registering to this site to gain inputs for the swap.:D

Any advise?

Hey guys my name is Mike I have a 99 Cherokee Sport 4.0 Auto 242 Tcase. Hopefully soon getting a D44 front and D60 or 14bolt rear. Have both rears for close to nothing. Also 3 link front, 4 link rear and coils. Like almost anyone else the budget is the issue getting it done. :(

Figured it was about time to join a 4x4 forum to see what else I can learn about my 1988 XJ. I've owned/had it since 2002 and done every single modification myself or with my father. It was an ex-government mule so it has the HO 4.0 and comanchee mirrors :D. I love my XJ and it's ability to show people up with just a 4" Rubi Express/Tomken/Rusty's/Skyjacker lift, 4.10 Rubicon gears, Electrac locked rear Dana 44 and an Electric shift OX front Dana 30. Here's some pics for ya'll.

Anyways, glad to be on board!

Hello everyone,
My name's Connor and I'm a member of a couple other forums and I'd figure I'd take a look here as I've heard of a bunch of great write-ups and info can be found here.
I own a white 95' YJ that I bought last August, I've done a bunch of repairs/replacing broken stuff (now roadworthy and I DD it) and soon I'll be ready to start building :D

Here's a pic:

Whats up all, own a jeep in the 90's (YJ) and now after some friends bought theirs, I got back into it. Now I can't stop spending money on her.

Owning a jeep is like having 2 ex wives. Just constant friggin drain on the finances

Hey ya'll I just bought my first jeep, 1995 jeep wrangler tj. It is cpmpletely stock, well it has a set of 33x12.50x15 aftermarket rims and a 3" body lift. Has some body damage/cancer. But for 900.00 bucks I aint gonna rant about it. Runs and drives 4cyl/5spd. Yes fifth gear is useless at this point. plans are to lose the 3" bl,change gearing install 4" suspension lift and rub the 33's. possibility of going with a turbo. My dd is a 2002 z71 Silverado and my other toy is a 9 sec Grand National. Any advise on my Jeep would be greatly appreciated.

Uncle Psycho checking in. (again)
I been here for a while, mostly lurking.

But, recently, I just bought back the '91 Jeep Cherokee from the daughter. She just dont want to have to work on it. she dont do mechanics... her loss....
It has 260,000 miles, and needs a few things.
I plan on a 4" lift and bigger tires. I just gotta search this forum to find out the info I need before I start.
Iaint no stranger to wrenching, I been wrenching my own shit since the '70's. just got done building my '72 Shovelhead, and road it to Oregon and back...

I also have a '71 Jimmy. I met a couple members here, up at Cow mountain a few months back, Jackyl and a couple others.... dang memory, sorry I cant remember names... but they are a great bunch of guys to go wheelin with for sure.
I hope to meet up again and go see Hull Mountain, as well as more of Cow.
I am in the middle of welding in a full roll cage. I am welding direct to the frame, so I have the floor all cut up, seat out etc....

Hello All
New to your forum, new to rebuilding Jeeps!! Ive done plenty of builds in my 20's but those were Sprint cars and Late model stocks, this is a whole new world to me.
I have a 74 CJ5 with a I6 232, I picked it up a few years back to use for taking my sons bow hunting with me. This jeep and I have a history as it belonged to a college buddy that I hunted with all the time out of this girl and he was letting her rot in the high country.

Im not doing a complete rebuild at this time as kids take up most of my extra time & funds LOL but I have just recently rebuilt the motor and slowly trying to get her up and running again.

Hey all, newbie posting here. Bought a project cherokee a few months ago, already have some tons for it on the way. Going to throw some 37s/beadlocks on it and an exocage. Been out of the 4x4 game for a while, so using the forum as a place to get tips and tricks and seems like a great place for some deals on parts. Look forward to doing a lot of reading

Ok, checking in. Sorry no pictures of my jeep to post, just a rusty 79 CJ5 I have bad for the last 20 years. Never liked jeeps till I got this one. I bought it for my now ex-wife, within 3 months she rolled it and would never drive it again. I kept the jeep out of loyalty, it figured her out before I did : )

ill have dumb questions but as you see my gladiator come to life knowing your input made it happen, you yourself will feel more accomplished. More intellectually advanced even.

1969 Gladiator Tornado 230-6 4x4 with transfer i think is dana 18. 7ft box, civilian body. sat 20 years in a forest under a willow 850 kilometers from where it stands now. Paid $700 after hearing it run with no rattles or backfires. Ive drained/flushed everything twice minus the diff and transfer. clutch and brakes need rebuilding.

Tore out seats and ceiling, mice got it bad.

Having the damned-ist time getting the rear drums off. 2 days of heat and hammering and not a budge.

any suggestions?

ive never added a photo but ill try now

how do i add photos?

Hello everyone!

hey just checking in, great site, I have been checking it out for years just never got around to joining up. Working on my best friend's 1967 cj-5. I will always have some type of 4x4 in my life. My first one was a 1972 Scout, it is on it's third life and at my bros house now.

http://s1185.photobucket.com/albums/z348/chris_kolar/?action=view&current=WP_000555.jpg

So I f't the dog on this one, my first post was a question and not my intorduction. Let the flames begin I know I got it commin because of it. At least I didnt ask how to do a SOA on a YJ in the hardcore section or put a picture up of my own truck in the diesel rice thread and ask what you fellas thought. :flipoff2: So for now I'll just sit back here in the land of entrapment lovely Clovass NM and play with the search button.

New to the site. New owner of an 89 YJ Wrangler. Already started dumping money into it. Need to do a tranny rebuild next, then a flat dash (maybe CJ dash) conversion, then new wheels and tires.

Any help or ideas with the dash would be appreciated. It's a south florida open jeep so I"m getting rid of the defrost, vents and speakers (no radio).

Thanks.

Noob checking in. I've got a 06 TJ thats about to be completely torn apart again. Bought it bone stock.

Hi my name is Ken. I have a 1984 CJ7 that I just finished a frame off rebuild. Took me 8 years to finish it and there were times I thought I'd never finish it but I did and what a blast it is now to drive. Dropped a LS1 in it and just recently got it past the CARB police so it is now smog and street legal.

I also have a 1973 CJ5 that I've had since day one which needs a little engine work to get it back on the road.

My names Jeff.I'm from the Great state of CT

Welcome John! Nice to see you up here! How did the back cement thing work out?

How do folks!
Been turning wrenches on Jeeps since 1976 when my Dad bought me a 44 Willys MB in 3 trailer loads of parts. Since then I've been through 4 other Jeeps and have recently settled on a '73 CJ 5.
It's under construction for family fun on trails. Will get some pics up soon- after the motor (304 built way overboard for an AMC) is running.
Earn a living teaching high school auto shop, so I am blessed to have the best job on earth- not to mention a brand new million dollar shop.
Been around pirate boards for a few years but never registered. Now that my students and I are building a Toyota truck it seemed like I needed to go legit.

sup im new got a prob with my jeep its a 95 yj that can barely make it up grades .....big hills are tricky for my 4 banger any advice would be awesome!!! thanks everyone

Hi! I'm Ken from OHIO, new to this forum. Been a jeepin' nut since 1974. Have a 1971 CJ5 that runs great, use it as farm jeep, and trial ride in TN. Also have a 1959 CJ3B that's sitting in the shop. I'm scratchin my head tryin to figure out what to do with it!

I've been on Pirate a few times before i registered. Being on Pirate is like watching a hockey game...you ask a question, 14 or 15 guys reply (none agree) :flipoff2:, then they throw off the gloves and start name callin'...well not exactly like hockey, but close.

Hey everybody,

I have a 76 cj7. I posted up a summary of my build in this area. But like all projects it is never really done so I've got more to do. Great site for info.

Hi I'm finally registered !!! I drive a 97 tj not quite pirate worthy but hope to change that:D

Hey all! New to the site I'm from southern California currently building a 81 cj7 did a full resto on it waggy front 9 inch rear 4.5 re kit ready to dent and scratch the pretty paint!!!

Rick from northern Minnesota. been 4 wheeling off and on since about 1967. current rides are my:

1983 Ranger 4x4, lifted, 2.8 v6, 4.56 gears, detroit in the rear, exploder springs,
5 speed, 215/85x16 tires.

1966 CJ-5A (recently acquired), bone stock with 134 F head, 3 on the tree,
4.27 gears and safari windshield. doesn't even have a top... yet! i just
started the mild build with a Saturn overdrive and 30/9.50x15 tires on the
stock rims. body work and paint are next.

been awhile since my last jeep so thought i'd start here on Pirate4x4 for ideas.

Alfredo from ft worth, Texas. Been 4 wheeling for about 4 years. I bought an 08 jeep Wrangler unlimited. I've always wanted a jeep but two doors were never an option since I am in a wheelchair. So as soon as the 4 doors came out I started looking into them.

I grew up with my dad owning a scout and living in Arizona do I guess
I've always been around offroading.

Here she is in Hot Springs earlier this year.

Checking in- From the Chicago Suburbs, I got a 94 YJ, currently under the knife getting a CJ front clip on, the project that has now taken me about 2.5 years to complete, long story.
I've found more answers to my questions while reading here, so I decided that it was finally time to join.

-Cheers

So, I'm starting post at this secton, just had lots o f 4x4s, Zukis, CJ, the last one was a XJ.

Now I've bought a wreced TJ, and starting the build...I'm thinking about put a CJ front clip with tube fenders, front 3 link, leaf springs on rear and of course, keep it low...

I got 2, 1 driver to build and a basher.

hi,

reading pirate4x4 for a while now ... great info and inspiration :smokin:
so ... decided to sign in and pay immediately my yearly contribution.
not really a payback since this forum is giving me muuch more.

No mud here, some rocks but I am much more into the soft stuff:
(has some advantages when rolling or flipping)

as softcore as it can get :D

... of course modding the "surfboard" to make it more capable is part of the fun :stirthepot:

Hi there, Pirate4x4

Long time lurker here. I've been toying with the idea of getting a Jeep for a long time now and I'm finally pulling the trigger on a 2006 LJ.

http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss234/Eshyn/DSC_4169.jpg

http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/ss234/Eshyn/DSC_4200.jpg

Just wanted to say hello and announce my presence! :)

How do you get banned from JF? Ha ha ha!

Someone was asking for opinions on the compass vs the patriot and I stirred the pot a bit:D To be honest nothing was ban worthy and I got another mod to change it to a temp ban:laughing:

just another kid with a jeep.
69 cj5
basically tore the jeep down to the frame and restored it to stock.
besides a family roll cage, racing seats with 4 point harness, power steering, tilt ididit column, disks up front, gm dual reservoir master cylinder, new dash and gauges, painless wiring harness and 1in shackle lift with 30in bfg mud terranes.
now i am getting ready to tear it apart again.
thinking im going to ditch the dana 27 in the front and the drum 44s in the back and do dana wide track 44 front and rear with disks all around.

Hi.

Holtz is the name... I run a 98 Yota 4Runner and a 02 TJ. I like my rigs dirty and my women even dirtier. :grinpimp:

Here's my obligatory newb post. I actually registered awhile ago but never got around to posting anything. I currently drive a 2004 Jeep LJ with a 4" SkyJacker SA lift, not my first choice but it was on it when I bought it. After looking at other people's builds I can foresee some upgrades to the Jeep in the near future.

I just bought a '97 tj to play with while I'm rebuilding my '87 Blazer. The tj only has 47,000 miles on it and is in great shape----as of today.

Have had a few Jeeps an 4x4s over the years, but now stuck with just the one.
It's a '91 YJ 4-banger that I bought 5 years and 100,000 miles ago for $1,200
Had 31's with 1" extended shackles.
Shortly after did a SYE, SOA, 4.88 in D30 with solid axle shafts, 4.86 in Ford 9" rear.
Running 35"Dick Cepek Fun Country II's
:DGREAT off road but tired of "racing":mad3: to keep up with the club on the road, so

'04 Suburban 5.3L, '99 GM NV4500, 3-spd Stak Monster Box:smokin:, and to top it off,
65" Hi-Pinion Dana 60's with Dana 70 outers, 4.57 gears and disc brakes:evil:.
Planning 4" lift Wagoneer springs front and back with 40" tires.

NOW just how do I cram all that under my YJ?

Making my presence known on here...
Woman Jeeper who owns a '06 lifted Jeep Liberty that's blacked out and DOES get wheeled. Currently run 31" Trxus MTs on 15" Cragars...

Seeing it's not a Liberty friendly site, guess I'll have to buy a P.O.S. XJ to build to just fit in here.:shaking:

It's either that or do a SFA swap on the Liberty...
Pretty sure there's Liberty haters on here, but I've had my rig over at BlackMountain Offroad Park in Harlan, KY. Did that w/o lockers and my Trxus MTs aired down to 20psi...
I'm a chic who loves Jeeps and would much rather spend $300 on a Jeep part than a $300 on a useless purse. :smokin:
That's pretty much it...and if you hate my rig or think it's crap...too bad, I don't care:flipoff2:

Sup. Been creapin round here for awhile. I have a 94 XJ. Nothing special just a 2" bb on 33's. Getting motivated with all the hardcore guys on here. Sorry no pics on my cell.plan is to have it on tons linked with rear leafs.

I've been hearing about this forum for a while, but never got around to signing up. I'm CJ, and I own a 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer that is about to get a Ford drivetrain.
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c227/plato132/Sunflower_Mine_10-29-11_2011-10-29_058.jpg

I'm a 4x4 newb. Every google search I do brings me here, so I figure what the hell and I sign up.

I'm some sort of useless scientist at work, and I fiddle with guns for fun. My son and I are going to try to ruin a jeep in the near future...

Other than that, i got nothin usefull to add, but intend on making a nuisance of myself anyway. :D

http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab223/Soldierfoley/mud1.jpg
Hello fellow jeepers. Or should I say Arrrg! This is my first jeep and I've had her a year now. Since I bought her I've turned just about every bolt. I've tried to upgrade everything as it breaks but money is tight. Oh well here's a pic of my rig after playing in the mud about 6 months ago. Still havent gotten it all out.

Since I started working I've had a 4 wheel drive of one type or another.
Now my ride is a '91 Jeep YJ 4 banger
Here she is after my 1st upgrade of a homemade SOA, TeraFlex Super Short SYE, ALL done with a $100 Harbor Freight wire welder.
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/91Wrongler/Work/MY%20JEEP/88841347.jpg
And this is after I installed a '66 F-100 9" axle with 4.86 gears I scored for $100 on Craig's list.
http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp289/91Wrongler/Work/ORV%20Park%2024/e7b42585.jpg
I'll post more pics AFTER my next upgrade. 5.3L, NV4500, Atlas II 5:1, Dana 60s with Dana 70 outers.
Been reading the posts, and SURE appreciate ALL the info you guys have thrown out.

Yep guess in a new guy. Got sick of building Toyota's now got into a 91 jeep yj well looking to learn from all forums

I'm originally from Louisiana but currently stationed in California with the Army. I've spent many hours on this forum and decided to check in. I have a 90 XJ with 5.5" lift, 33" kuhmo KL71's, home made winch bumper, RC 9500 lb winch, and on board air. Everything has been done by me. Axles are still stock but will soon be upgraded. I wheel the piss out of it in anything you put in front of me and have never gotten stuck. Flame on!

Just got my 1st jeep. 94 YJ. Live in Louisiana, so a little mud is a must.

New to Pirate 4x4. Semi new to JF. Recently bought a '00 Grand Cherokee for 1000 bucks... decided since it's my first off road rig i'm going to do it right. Just wanted to introduce myself to the Pirate community.

i have this: http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee420/badfair/d20db89a.jpg

i hope everybody is having a Wonderful day after Christmas! I hope ya'll got what you wanted for the holidays!

Well, not really, but close enough. After many many 4x4's of all sizes and favors, I have settled into am '73 Jeep CJ 5. It is built for camping and doing some trail work here in NorCal when the water levels allow for access to the trails.
The CJ is sitting on 44's and über low gears in a T-18 trans.
Just added a fire stick antenna for the 2m radio as a Christmas present to the old girl.

I have stalking PBB for several years now…My wife and I are both into wheeling (04/06 TJ's)… Now that everything is paid off and ready to retire; we will now let the mods begin. :smokin:
I am hoping to go the low COG route for my rigs and keep them as DD’s. I would like to pick up a beater XJ to haul groceries and in-laws.
Currently living in New Jersey (yeah it sucks) but soon moving to southern Utah (yeah).. :flipoff2:

Been stalking PBB for awhile now and figured I'd post an introduction. Names PITT, from Texas but live in NE OK now. Had many 4X4's in different shapes and sizes from a 99 3/4 ton dodge on 38.5 boggers with lockers, an 84 chevy crew cab on 44" groundhawgs with Rockwell axels to a 98 ZJ on 35's, D60front, ford 8.8 rear, ARB bumper, ARB lockers and the newest a 2006 Jeep LJ on 33's with a long list of goodies I wanna put on it. I've been into playing in the dirt and mud since I was a youngin on dirtbikes and quads so it's no surprise I love the money pits that are trail rigs.

Hello Pirate! I've been creepin on the forum for about a year now and finally got myself a good platform to work on (2004 Jeep TJ X). Thank you for all the help and awesome info. Just reading here, I've probably saved over a few hundred bucks.

Just bought a SYE (installed) and about to buy a transfercase cable shifter from Novak.

Hello everyone. I am in the middle of a 94 YJ 4.0 ax15 dana 300 swap into my 78 CJ7. Been searching for knowledge and this site keeps popping up. Hoping there are some people here that can help..Looks like a great place.

Getting ready to swap some axles, tranny, and t-case under my 79' CJ 7, looking for a better (by leaps an bounds) gear ratio (23:1 to a 59:1). Anyhow, thanks Pirate 4x4 for all the past and future info.

Check this site often when looking for a good source of build info, so decided to join.

Dropping by to land the first post, y'all!

Looking forward to learning a lot from seasoned off road vets as I venture down the beginner trail of Jeep Ownership

Hey new guy here, i am currently stationed in Germany with the Air Force. Me and the wife picked up a 88 XJ 4.0/Auto Red a few weeks ago and i am trying my damnedest to get in through the inspections here. We bought the XJ with a 4.5" RC SCA, trimmed fenders, rear bumper with tire carrier and 34" TSLs. I traded the TSLs for a full set of 33" Gen 1 MTRs and better wheels and started ordering the needed parts to include a 6.5" RC LCA, new brakes all the way around and new exhaust as well as some other minor parts. I learned about this site from a friend and then again while on CherokeeForum. When i get off of work ill add some pictures.

newbie form syracuse IN, looking for tips and tricks for my 76 cj5 build

Hello to all newbie here from the south asking for anyones electrical expertise. I have a brand new LS3 376/480 from gm performance with GM computer and drive accessories. i am in the process now of installing this in my 2000 wrangler. I know this is the place to come for answers so here goes. i have the gm wiring harness and my factory harness. i need to keep the factory harness for my factory instrument cluster. how do i get the old harness to work in conjunction with the new motor ( new sensors )

Whats up, Got a 97 TJ I work as a fabricator by day at a well known and acknowledged and a backyard fabricator by night, going to make as much of my own stuff as i can and buy whats needed. build thread should follow within the next couple of months

hi all new here but I've built many vehicles. this time around I'm going pretty HD with this build. starting with an '88 YJ putting in Cummings 4BT, ZF 5 speed, NP205, HP Dana 44HD, AAM GM 11.5" rear. intend to use CJ front clip and dash. atleast these are the components I've accumulated thus far!

good day to all,

im joining you all from the middle east (Qatar) where i am a british expat working in the oil and gas industry. ive managed to get my hands on a free 1995 YJ which (due to the lack of any rocks here) i will hopefully be converting into a dune buggy. i have worked with jeeps at all, i mainly work with motorbikes, small one seater dune buggies and quads but i have a friend here who uses a 1997 XJ for rally's so i have some support.

hoping your vast knowledge will help me and in return i will keep you all up dated on my failures.....and preferably achievements

Hi there, new guy here and want to introduce myself. Name is Michael, from Longview WA. Retired papermaker, have a 71 Jeepster.

New here. Just signed up today. I haven't done anything to my '98 Wrangler Sahara. Just wheeling it stock for now.

Ill be starting a Scrambler build in a few months. Quick question about rocker protection: Im used to full length boxed sliders welded to the frame and under the rockers on all of my other trucks but notice that the protection for Jeeps attaches to the tub, not the frame. Is the tub that strong to take shots from rocks?

Hello,

Enjoying all the info on this great site!

I have been on Jeepforum for awhile and occasionally find threads over here that are helpful, but I finally decided to register. I have a 98 Jeep TJ that is my baby. My dream car is a beefed up Jeep and this vehicle is on its way there. I am currently in the middle of a V8 swap. I am sure there will be many stupid newbie questions to come. Be gentle.
