hey there, i'm scott. i'm a bartender here in palo alto, ca. been wheelin since about age 5 when dad took me backwards across the 'con. just bought another project. it's a 40 err 50...ish cj3a. just did a shakedown trip to hollister hills and broke the frame at the rear shock mount. boxing the frame starts on saturday.
see ya on the trail.

im new here, and i need help ! just bought a 90 yj and she has the axle flip done already, but cant find out what the rearend's are out of ? the brake's look like a ford set-up but the bolt pattern is 5x5 1/4 ? i do know they are 44's . and my other promblem is ever time i hit a bump in the road she jump's to the right really hard ! iv'e done every thing i can think of ?????:confused:

I haven't been on lists in over 10 years since the AMC one was getting 60 messages a day in my inbox. I tried to search on this and found some info, but am a little confused as to what to search for. I have a '55 Willys that I want to use as a work truck (need reasonable milage and comfort) so I'm looking to do a frame swap. I would like to stay all jeep but haven't had much luck finding anything close in wheelbase. I don't have any experience with frame work, can weld a semi straight line, and have done very limited body work before. Any suggestions?? I was thinking of a '70's model wagoneer with a 304 and an AOD from a newer one. Any suggestions???

Newbie here saying hi. Just bought my first Jeep, a '90 XJ 4.0L. Looking to do 5+" long-arm, 33's, 231 Doubler, body armor/bumpers, etc. I would like to share what I learn, pick up some pointers and have some fellow jeepers to share my bank account misery with.

Just picked up a 1985 CJ7 Project that was half baked. This rig has a 350ci chevy small block , proflo efi, ax15, d300, pushing 33x12.5 MTs on stock axles. I will be doing an axle swap amoung other things and look forward to tapping into the Brain trust found within these walls.

I am very happy to have found this site and thank you all for the great input and inspiration I have seen here.

I bought a 97 zj 2 1/2 years ago. It has a 5.2 v-8, quadra-trac (I can deal with it for now), 4.5" lift, with 31x10.5x15 dick cepeks FC-2. I'm gettin ready to put 31 BFG A/t on it and play with 32x10.5 out in the woods. I love my jeep. I'm up for any advice on 4wheelin with it. I'm from Alabama by the way. 24 years old. I go to college and workin on my RN degree and work full time, so as yall can see I'm in need of a hobby that I can take anger and frustration out of me at the end of the week. LOL, that don't mean I want to beat up my ZJ. Anyways, I'm lookin forward to all the info yall have and just talkin about 4x4s and wheelin them. Thanks

60's? MOGS! MOGS! MOGS!
I signed up to this group because I'm new to 4 wheeling.I have a question about dana 27 and dana 30 front axles. Will the ring and pinion from the 27 fit the 30?

Noob here. Lurked for a while. I got 2 XJ's. One slightly modded and the other is being turned into a trail rig. Plan on running 35's with and exo cage or mybe not its just sheet metal.

Here it is

98TJ on 35" MTR tires with clayton long arms, armor all around including a custom cage, 4.56 with OX front and rear, on D44 rear with discs, Teralow 4:1, Warn winch and skids everywhere, etc etc etc

Just bought a 72 Renegad CJ-5 with a fuel injected rebuilt 304. I am planning a build including a stretch of the wheelbase, etc. Should be fun. Now that I need some real help, JU does not cut it.

Hey everyone. My name is James. I live in Hudson, WI but go to college in Houghton, MI (Michigan Technological University).

I have had a Jeep now for 3 years. My first was a 1998 Cherokee with a 3 inch lift and 31's. I now have a 1991 Cherokee with waggy d44 up front, amc 20 out back, 4.10's, welded rear, open front, 36'' TSL's, and leaves on all 4 corners.

I have been reading on this forum for a long time, I joined awhile ago, but never bought a red-star until today. I really like the conglomorate of information that can be found here, so I hope my stay can be enjoyed, both for my experiences, and for learning about others.

Here is a pic of the Jeep.

Ok so Im John and I've only been wheelin for about a year and a half and I have a pretty 95 ZJ Limited that will eventually turn into a big pile of metal on huge tires :D . WOOO!

I got my first jeep (97 TJ) a while back and thought i would finaly sign in. got a 2" BB, 31's. so needless to say i got a while to go. but like im sure all of you know it takes a while to build ($$$)

Newbie from NC here. My first vehicle ever was a Jeep and since then, I've been hooked. Working on my fourth Jeep now, a '97 TJ Sahara. Pretty stock right now, but looking to build it up right nice in the future.

hey the names aaron, pirate by far has the best threads especially for anybody that wants to make their jeep there own. this is my first subscribed forum so i'll be hopefully showing you my current project of custom crawler. by the way im 19 establishing residency in CO so the money is limited but i hope you all appreciate the hard work im gonna be putting into it. thanks for the info so far. peace

Just a beginning wheeler...

I like to 4 by over pieces of wood. That is pretty cool.:smokin:
What is the best ways to keep my rig clean? Sometimes water will spash on it when I run over wood. Also I read that if I take my carpet out I can fit "48 tires, is this true?

been lurking for a bit, finally decided to register and post...I learned all I know now over on Jeeps-offroad, looking to learn more here.

Ez all, Registered to sort of get back in the game. Got an 84 CJ-7 that isn't running at the moment, needs help.

Can't let it sit any longer though!

Hope to do lots of posting and learn a good bit! :)

Whats up? shawn 27" just traded a pick up for a heaping pile up 83 cj7.I need to learn as much as possible if I want this thing to leave my garage.

Hi

been reading this forum for quite a few years and its been a big part of my mod decisions. thanks for that.

My jeep is a daily driver, 5.5" RE LA, detroit in the rear, stock diffs with 488's (flame away, waiting for it to break) turning 35" boggers. Rest of the mods are minor.

Figured it was about time to make an account. I've been researching the mopar engine swap and planning my upgrade strategy to handle that torque load.

Only big plan I have in the near future is to build a shop large enough to house my projects, toys and tools. The jeep will be wheeled as is until I have that shop filled with the good stuff.

Whats up all. jay here from the south burbs of chicago.. I got a 92 YJ 2.5 sup lift and 1 inch Bl.Just got don't doing a frame off resto on it.

Okay, here goes.

I have a 2000 TJ sport with a 4 inch lift.

Not sure if I'll be able to post this, so I thought I'd at least put something here.

1987 XJ 35's, locked, gets used

Hello,
I am RJ, I have a 74 J20 that is desperate need of repair and build. I have been doing research for a few months now and am starting the teardown and rebuild process.



RJ

Hi, my name is Frank and I own a 1979 Jeep CJ7. I've been looking at this forum for quite few years, looking to get info on rebuilding and modifying my Jeep. I'm located in Montréal, Canada.

I started working on this pile of Junk:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/FrankCJ7/Jeep%20Lac%20au%20sable/3.jpg

And with a few years of hard working, it now looks like this:
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y142/FrankCJ7/Jeep%20chez%20Gab/JeepchezGab001.jpg

My Jeep is mostly mostly stock, AMC 304 with automatic transmission. It has a fiberglass body covered with Line-X. Suspension consists of a SOA with a rear anti-wrap bar. Differentials are D30 front and D44 rear, once the CJ completed it will be locked front and rear.

Future mods:
Beefier axles (Mog's would be my dream)
Beefier braking system
Cross over Steering
Boggers
Full roll cage
and may be a Chevy 350 with SM465

Hey, my name is Evan i just bought a 91 YJ. Although im new to owning a jeep im not new to off roading its been my favorite thing to do for years. I have tons of friends with jeeps and finally i have my own. I live in maryland and look forward to advice and opinions on how to mod my new baby.

:confused:

Figured I'd just jump in head first. I'm not really familiar with forums, but I have a project that I'll need info about. I have a 76 chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 that is about to rust away but it runs like a haint. I plan on putting it all in my 1979 cj5. D44 front, 14blt rear, 350, turbo350, and np203. It's a huge project, but my brother-in-law owns a machine shop, so I have access to everything I'll need. I'll appreciate any help I can get.

Kevin

Hey all. New to the forum and jeepin for that matter. Got a CJ7 that now has chev 350, TH400 auto, Dana 300, SOA, Dana 44s, 38" TSL. Lockers front and rear and a 8000 lb winch. Thats the good stuff. Bad is the only thing holding it together is rust and bondo (thanks to the previous owner I dubbed bondo boy). Oh well a few replacement panels and scrap metal and she'll be good to go.

Thanks

Another newbie to this site, checking in. '01 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 4" Rough Country X-series lift and 33's. Been wheeling it since I bought it new, and it is receiving front and rear lockers, a winch and some nice new bumpers within the next month or so. Im looking mainly to share knowledge about modding options and find a few folks around the country to wheel with. Been working overseas two of the last three and a half years or so. I'll be looking early next year to do some wheeling in central texas, and in alabama later into the spring.

Old timer, new to the modern day tech of semi-radical 4x4 (where I want to head now). For many years, as a younger man … I always had a 4x4 … typically a Chev/GMC ½ ton. I worked as a mechanic for several years and always had these a bit beefed up. I've done many radical things, in my youth, in these machines.

Anyway, my son got a totally stock tj sometime back and turned it into a nice Moab rock-crawler (we live in Utah). He took me to Hole-in-the-rock in September and gave me the bug … again.

Today I was at a dealer, looking at a very nice Rubicon (30k base), which they had put about 11k worth of lift, winch, long bars etc. on. Very nice and very tempting. But I decided I want to build my own … So … I’m starting a search for a cj7, don’t even care if it runs, actually hoping for stock as can be, so I don’t feel so bad about throwing everything out … I’m totally new to all of this as the tech/terms have long since passed me by … but my son informs me that a couple dana 60’s loaded up with yukon/eaton’s with some darn $2200 atlas power transferring contraption in between them will be a good start. Of course .. I need to learn about suspension, flex, lift, leaf over … on and on .. but heck winter is coming on, and maybe by next spring I’ll have learned something and have a new toy for the mountains of northern utah (my old experience, lots of mud/snow) as well as a companion rock crawler for my son and I to go find some trouble down south.

So, I apologize in advance for all the dumb questions that are likely to follow …

I have being trolling this forum for a few years now, gleaning tech info, reviews and install write ups, finaly decide to join.
Only logical since I keep winding up here via links to answers to questions posted in other Jeep forums.

I'm looking forward to getting educated directly by the professors! :D

Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii

Im a newbie learning the ropes and mistakes. We have some cool wheelers out here and an looking to expand my horizons. Had a XJ with minor mods, great ride, then traded for a new KJ. Well put $$ into it and its ok for a DD plus but a lacking, I am looking to build a dedicated econo buggy.

I have been lurking for a long time.. Great site. KjHawaii

Hi yall
I have a 1991YJ that I blew out the 4 banger, so I bought me a ford 302
and ford four speed transmission. But I don't know for sure if the transfer case will fit it or if I need a kit. Does anyone know this transmission it has two id#'s on it C260210 & C2604227...Help?

whats up! :smokin:

I'm newb'n outta control here..

I really need some pics of a Rubicon with a Budget Boost 2incher lifty. I have to start out modding small.. ya know.

Time to pop my newbie cherry I guess...

I have a '75 Travelall that I played with until I blew the tranny out. It's old and ugly but it's fun to beat on. And it was cheap ! :)

Hopefully I'll have a crawler built by this summer .....

Here's my intro. I have been visiting the site for a couple years now and finally decided to register. My addiction is in my signature. Hope you guys can help me out.

I'm new here and am surprised at the language. You all should be ashamed of your selves for treating each other this way. I hope that in the future if I ask a stupid question you will remeber everyone has feeling and think about what you say. If that doesn't work then you assholes can go fuck yourselfs! HAHA just kinding, we guys don't have feelings.

78 CJ7 in the middle of engine swap and rebuild
(304 -> 360), total rewire, and new gadget attachments....
Hello to all:)

hey all, my name is allen. just signed up (it's great). i gotta 2000 cherokee. in the process of 3" suspension lift. gotta few other little doodads flowmaster and k&n so far been my fave project. gettin it done slowly but still lookin for some tires and maybe some wheels (31x10.50)

fuzz401 I live in Lancaster Pa. and have a 1978 cj-7 that I have had since 1979 dont do any 4x4 any more just been playing at the drages 1/4 mile with it and have it down to 12.6 @ 102 mph on 37" swampers and 4" lift going to try 33x10.50 slaicks on it now to see if I can get it to the low 12's or high 11's

Hello, My name is Steve, I'm not new to the offroading sport but never owned a Jeep until recently. Long story short it was given to me as long as I hauled it away. It's a 76 CJ5 with 304 V8, Hasn't been licenced since 92 and has sat since but I actually got it running with little effort. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=13230457&uid=533924&members=1

I first got into offroading about 30 years ago with VW Baja's, Both the wife and I had one and loved chasing each other around in the woods. I'm in the process of building another one now. I'm building adaptors to install portal type axles in it out of a bus. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=772438&uid=533924&members=1

Another one of my offroad vehicles is a 98 Chevy ZR2 Blazer that is mostly stock except for the 2" body lift and a few added accessories. It has really surprized me for a factory off road vehicle and have had lots of fun with it. It even got featured in the 2005 Oct. edition of Petersens "Readers Rides" Pic of the Month. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=783364&uid=533924&members=1

Oh yeah, Almost forgot the quads, Nothing special but we love to drag 'em out in the woods or down to the Oregon Dunes. Seems these are the only offroad toys I own that I never work on. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=10363390&uid=533924&members=1

Anyway, I'm eager to learn as much as I can about my CJ and figured this would be the best place to start. Hope I can be of help to someone someday on this forum because I know a lot of you will help me.

Thanks,

Steve

Hello all im a newb here on this huge info hiway to paradise lol
currently building a 88yj 350/sm465/205 44ft 14ffrear waggys and im looking for all the help i can get, and will help who i can my name is Sean, so hello and ill see you all on the forums ..

Hey there. I'm Raydon.. new to P4x4 and offroading in general as well. Just picked up a '90xj for a good price... First up, Rubicon 4.5" I think.. any objections? Send a pm or something. Later

Good Day,
Well I am a newbie, even though I have had my jeep for awhile. Actually have had 3 Jeeps in my life and this one I can actually use for offroading/rockcrawling. More rockcrawling because you dont see much mud or dirt here, even though its my DD. So if I break it I am screwed!

The first jeep was an 85 CJ7 4 banger manual but when I went overseas it had to go(USAF) wouldnt meet the standards. We purchased a 95 Grand and it saw some snow but that was it, couldn't find a place to wheel over there with out gettng into trouble, Germans are funny that way I heard stories of places but it was more a DD than anything. So I finally made it stateside 2 years ago and sold that (it had too many issues) to buy a 04 Rubicon.

This Jeep has seen some hills here in Southern NM but that is it till May(hopefully Moab) she is stitting stock except for stereo and removal of stickers(if thats a mod). I do plan upgrade but not sure when since I have to finish my HD modifications.

Ok since I am new here is there a page on how to use a search engine, basiclly I want to find out all the info I can find out before I make a final decision on what lift kit. I am leaning heavly to FT Ulimate 4 incher. I would search but there are way to many posts but I am looking to educate myself.

Thank You

Another newbie!! I run my Fj40 wherever i want here in Québec Canada!!
Hope to you somewhere!!:D

Hi. I'm Rick. I had a 1977 cj7 back in the 80's for 10 yrs. I changed the engine, tranny, t-case, body, interior, etc. Did a lot of power lines, mud runs, hill climbs. Sold it in 1992. Haven't had another one until now( life got in the way). I just purchased a 1975 cj5 rolling chassis. Gonna start from the ground up. Problem is, I'm not much of a motor head. I'm ok with my hands and figuring some stuff out( online research ) , but I don't know how to put it all together. At least with the 77 cj7, it was all there. I just had to change things. With only a rolling chassis, well..... that's where you guys(and girls) come in. I have a basic plan of what I want to build, I just need advice on how to do it. Anyway, that's my story. Thanks for having me.

Im new..but i figured i'd say hi here first.. aaand off we go.

Yet another newbie, been a long time reader just registered.

My name is Cory and I am in Louisville, KY. Been wheeling a while but nothing like some of ya. Had built a nice cj 1 ton with "little" 36's and just recently got a new rig, and 90 yj with spoa 33's and welded rear but other than that bone stock. but that will change!

See ya on the trails

And yet another FNG. Great info available on the site! I gots a 2000 tj 2.5L 3" lift with 33 MT/r's. Does alright for it's size. In process of ordering parts for full width axle swap & coilovers up front. will post info when it's started.

hey im rich....not literally

i wheel a 98 TJ SE 4' and 33's......little pussy jeep
im currently in wyotech and will be building my jeep up this spring after i graduate

:shaking: :flipoff2:

Newbie on this forum and a newbie to Gran Cherokees. Been wheeling for 20 some years in various vehicles from open axles to lockers. From dirt roads to rock crawling. Now to make this Grand into a rockcrawler. Gotta love Jeep axles.

Hi guys. I've got a 94 yj with 2" shackles, welded rear and 31s. Since I made the mistake of welding a 35c I broke an axle. So now I'm in the process of an SOA, 8.8 rear and plan to run 37s. I still haven't decided on the front axle. Any suggestions? It's gonna be a little while until it's done so I figured I'd do a little web wheelin'.

I also have a 91 Dakota with a 3" body lift and 31s and a 93 F-250 LB on 36s.:beer: :smokin:

Checkin in. Long way to go to get to where I wanna be.

Just checkin in, Newbie on board here.

Name is Jason, and I am a Certified Jeep Tech living in the Burlington Vermont area. Currently have a project / winter beater 97 XJ, 4.0L 5spd, almost bone stock except a rear add a leaf and some BFG A/T's. Plan to go up in the spring and start with my spares set of MTR's then work my way up to 33's. I also have a semi daily driver 04 WJ 4.0 Laredo, with Terraflex budget boost and 245/75/16" GY MTR's, and a bunch of other little doo-dads. Also have a couple Volkswagens, and a BMW. Had a few Audi Quattro's in the past, and a ton of other misc German cars over the last ten years. Lost track of how many cars and Jeeps I have had over the last 12 years, but its somewere in the 50-60 range.

I'm a n00b here.

I watched/helped (in that order) a friend/coworker build his 98rubi into something to turn heads. That was more or less my intro to real jeeps/wheelin.

I remember him showing me some videos from this sight a few years back which brings me to now:

I'm selling and saving at the moment. Selling that is my 2001 Golf GLS 1.8t which has been good to me, but is now too small for my family. Saving some money to buy a 07 wrangler 4-door, 4x4, 6 speed.

As far as my offroading, most of it is done on my mountain bike. Rock crawling? On my trials bike.

I mainly want a jeep because I know that I can count on parts being around for it forever, and I am sure I can keep it running.

Thats all. Check out my sig if you're looking for a good reliable Daily driver that gets 25+ mpg.

Been lurkin for a little while, figured I'd pipe in. I own a 95 YJ, fourth Jeep, first one to see use as a trail rig. Used to wheel an 86 'yota till the frame broke and I came to my senses. I've been through a 79 Cherokee, 78 J10, 87 Comanche and now this. I usually wheel at the Cliffs (http://thecliffsinsaneterrain.com/)

Just another new guy on the forums. I've been messing with Jeeps for ~10 years and I've been playing with Tacomas for ~3-4 years. I'm currently building my third Jeep. My Tacoma is my DD and family "car".

The newest Jeep is a 1998 TJ Sport with a 5 spd. I rescued this Jeep from a miserable life. The last 3 owners were highschool girls. It had a 3" BL and 31" street tires on some hideous alum. wheels. I ripped the carpet out only to find no fewer than 5 tubes of lipstick melted in various places, along with more hair clips than anyone could ever need. I could have bought a hi-lift with all the money I found stashed/hidden/lost throughout this Jeep (though I'm not complaining about that).

I'm currently running the stock engine, trans, xfer and axles :nuke: with a 4" superlift, 1" daystar, 33x10.50 BFG MT's on black steel wheels.

Future plans-
a real roll cage, onboard air
axle swap (mog portals sound nice) :cool2:
engine swap (probably go diesel...4bt, maybe something lighter if I can find it)
transmission (nv4500 most likely, but it depends on the engine I pick)
xfer case (atlas II)

Well hello all I am new to this site. I have a 2006 Wrangler, and have had Jeeps since 1970. I hope to hear from some of you and share my experiences.

Hello,

I have been reading the posts on here for quite a while, and finally decided to sign up. I think the details of my YJ are in my signature.

Not a newbie, checking in :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff: :flipoff:

Obligatory newbie check-in! Obligatory description of my Jeep!
Obligatory joke and smiley with middle fingers!:flipoff2:

Newbie here from Georgia with just enough knowledge of the lingo to keep me from looking like a troll. Was glad to see Pirate add the Newbie Jeep forums from those of us who aren't at the 1000 hp rock climbing stage yet.

GR

this is my first post on pirate, long time user of another site (not JU) figured i would see whats over on the dark side :flipoff2:

I am a newbie, 93 yj with 35's mild buildups. Many others in the works.

Hey everybody, just checkin in. I've been lurkin around here for a little while and finally joined up.

Nice to find a resource as such.
hope I can add to the mix.:D

Well I guess everybody hates JU but I find it helpful. Guess I'll be flamed over that. I have a slightly modified older XJ but I'm pleased w/ it so screw everyone else. I only joined for insight and problem solving. Hope to find some here!:evil:

New guy checking in 1st jeep--have a few plans--going to keep it simple and have fun with the family

I'm LeRoy and I own an 88 YJ with about 4 1/4 inches suspension lift, 35 12.50 bfg mt's, 4.2L with webber conversion. It looks cool and its fun to wheel "in the sand". This baby definately aint a rock crawler with that C-clip dana 35 and 30 in the front. :barf:. It is what it is!

hey i am new here, but have been wheelin for years, 88 xj with 5.5 re lift, 4.0 puke o trans, and thats about it, having problems with the clutch bleeding, cant seem to get all the air out, :confused: :confused:

Hi Pirate.

4 new members! Welcome to Pirate4x4 guys/gals.

Newbie reporting. Been lurking on this site as well. Too much fantastic info not to be involved!

Not to much of a newbie but been lurking for awhile. 85CJ7

Hello Everybody

I've been a proffesional lurker for a while now.
Thought it best to sign up as my Heep is starting with it's problems, and professional help is few and far in between
here in my neck of the woods - I'm from South Africa.

Oh, There is a Stealership but that doesn't mean much.

I drive a 2001 Turbo Diesel Grand with a '' behemoth'' set of 31'' Wrangler AT/R and an even more impressive 2'' BB

Well that's me.

Ive been reading the forums here for a while, and hunting around for my sort of first 4x4 vehicle. (my first was a toyota tercel 4x4:smokin: ) I have recently purchased a J3000 and am enjoying it immensely. I have a long history with cars and motorcycles, but not really with 4x4s. Heres a pic of it.

Hi
I'm new to this forum, but have been lurking. I have a lifted 4.0L 1995 XJ and a 1998 4.0L XJ (soon to be lifted).

I realize this is a stoooopid question, but where is the search button??

Hows it going, new to pirate 4x4 but been on some other forums for awhile. Got a 86 CJ7 T-176 TFI/HEI hybrid on a freshly rebuilt 258, a inch daystar body lift heavy duty greasable shackles and I am in the market for a lift kit, not sure what kind yet but I do know I want to keep my center of gravity low, mabey 2.5 to 3 inch max lift. Also in the process of fabricatingbumpers rockers and a roof rack system and sanding it down to paint. I got lucky and the jeep is rust free and was hardly ever driven, got it from a family friend for 2200 bucks, whata steel.:D

newbie here... i can build cars and horsepower, but i'm totally new to the 4x4 fabrication thing. I just bought one hell of a project. I hope it's not too much for me to handle. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g143/chris93263/Auto/014_14.jpg check sig for my plans on this rig

hello, just purchased a new JK (currently on order). Looking forward to getting into this hobby and learning a lot from you guys. I've been lurking around and reading for a few weeks now. Some really good info and inspirations project-wise.

My JK will be primarily a DD for now, but as soon as I can - I'll be hitting you all up. Thanks for a great board!

Finally coming over to the Pirate side. I'm on plenty of other BBs, but I haven't been here yet.

Welcome to Pirate guys. Chris93263 you got a major "Project" on your hands. Be sure to take lots of photos and to keep us up-to-date on your progress.

newbie here, just bought a '94 YJ with a 6 cyl. that has 74,000 miles on it. Its going to be a trail only rig so I am building it up. I've got the jeep and a front and rear dana 60 to put under it. For the rest I am on a $5,000 budget. I read somewhere a gm 14 bolt is better axel than a dana 60 is that true, should I sale the rear 60? I've been reading on here for a few months now and I'm gonna get my red star so I can search. Look forward to learning from you guys.

Hello everyone, I'm new and looking for some advice. R/upper shock mount R/side broke off, any tricks to fixing.....

Newbie here, and been 4wheelin for about 12yrs have a 93yj and been re-building for the past few years, took it to the rubicon 2 half yrs ago and lets just say it was not ready for that trip, I thought it was f/r lockers d30f/full floater d35r/full floater 4" lift w/shackle reversal. All that did not matter, made it to spyder lake and that was it, lucky we had a weilder in our group.
So now I'm looking for a litte help. I've been stuck on a problem in the rear of the jeep upper shock mount passenger side. It had broke off on that trip, the bolt that the shock mounts too. I'm talking clean break and I was wondering if any one had any other way of doing new shock mounts in the rear?

New (to Pirate) and fairly new to the Jeep scene. Had my YJ for about 5 months now, I've got a Rough Country 4" lift, RE 5" greasable shackles, and 33X12.5 BFG Muds on 15X10 rockcrawlers. Next future mods are TJ flares and bumpers. Soon enough I'd like to have a Dana 44 with 4:56's (front/rear), lockers and a Warn 9500ti.

John here. Just bought an 88 YJ. Looking to get it out of stock mode. I'll try not to embarrass anyone, but no promises.

Hi, I am Sawyer and I am also a member over on IFSJA. I have a 1975 Jeep Wagoneer with a 401. Its nothin to great yet, but I hope to get it a little more off road worthy in the future.

This is Ol'Bob letting ya'll know another new Jeep guy is onboard. I have a 2006 TJ that is stock except the bumpers. The OEM ones were a tad flimsy to say the least. I went with Warn front and rear. Looking now to get away from the OEM wheels, get a bit bigger in the rubber department and start looking at some recovery gear.

Well, well, well, I get a CJ recently change the engine because a i broken it, I put in a 302 ford, and I had been problem with the shaft transmission, furthermore the jeep had long time without movement and consequently the transmission is joined.

Hi, I'm finally subscribed after reading the forums for i don't know how long. I have an 01 xj that is getting some 33's stuck under it once i get some wheels for them. The jeep is my daily driver so it is not getting that much more lift, maybe another inch or two, but for the most part it is done. All that I have left to do before I start a project truck is to just replace the control arms, front and rear axles, do some drive line mods, and maybe hydro assist.

hi, new guy from NC. i wheel a 95 2door sport. 33 firestone destionations, d30/8.25 on 4.5 rough country with custom arms. rockhard bumper and etc.....just picked up a 87 D44 for the rear and a set of 4.88's from yukon.SYE has also been ordered. not bad flex with all sway connected. fender are tight. need to be trimed soon!

Hello people,

I was thinking about swaping in a Waggy d44 front a rear and was wandering if someone on here has done this and mainly if i could see some pics of the suspension and how they set it up. i am in the process of searching and reading. and i just want to say i love this site VERY nice stuff on here.

Newbie to the Pirate Board. I've been wheeling strong the past 3 years in Arizona. There are some sick trails out here. I signed up on Pirate to get build idea's and see whats goin on all across the country.

Hi all,
Enumclaw, WA here. Just bought a M38A1 & it's my 1st in years. I already snapped a rear spring in the 1st 10min I hit the dirt. I'm on here to find info on making my own 4-link. I'm an old drag racer, so I can fab whatever I need, but I thought I better get some input before I take a crack at it.
I'm not seeing where I can do a search on here. Usually the button is on the top. What gives?
I guess I can post pix on here either, huh?

Welcome!
I think you need to be a donating member to do those things...

I figured that out after I posted. I just bought the Jeep (no extra $). I guess you'll have to see it on the trail.
I did find a great thread that deals with 4-link geometry. I think I'm sold on the idea.

Hey everybody I'm from Texas and drive a Yj with a Cummins turbo-charged diesel.

Hi,
I'm from Central California with a 92 yj.

howdy...

Hey all, I'm from Iowa. Daily driver is a 1980 CJ5. Currently building a CJ7 from scratch with 95 YJ frame, glass CJ body, D60 rear, D44 front, 92 Dodge fuel injected 318 from my wrecked Dakota, and Dana 300 xfer case.

Good morning. I'm a newbie to this jeep thing. Been a pb member since 2001.
A friend has parked a 91 Cerokee at my place and I want to get some tech info for it. Pirate has been instrumental with my other project builds so here I am again. I am a dial up user so searches suck for me. Please be kind.
Happy web wheelin, Jason:flipoff2:

Hello everyone. Got an '03 fully-locked TJ- 4" skyjacker w/ 33"s. D30 and D44. Banks Monster exhaust. Basic package. Not a huge rig, but Im mostly a mud guy anyway. Custom sliders, and some armor components.

Hello Pond Scum.
I'm not new to Pirate, but new to this forum. Thought I would pop in here and introduce myself, diehard scout man, but I just had a deal dropped my way I couldn't refuse. A 1979 Jeep CJ-5, basic iowa rust with only 70,000 miles on it. Sat in a shed for 8 years of it's life. A good harley buddy offered it to me for a whooping $100. So I'm going to pick it up sunday. I had a 76 CJ-7 years ago that was a total rust case that I redid and wheeled with for a couple of years until I had a bad rollover that ended its life. Now it looks like I'm back in the jeep crowd again. Anyone know what swaps from scout to jeep/jeep to scout? I know the transfer case does, and I might have a line on a 80 scout with a dana 300. I would like to find one of the fiberglass tops I've seen online for a cj-5. I'll come back in and post pictures once I get it home......and for those that want to do the scout vs.jeep thing....:flipoff2:

:flipoff2: I have been coming to this site for awile but did my first post today. this is my fav site it has alot of very good tech articales. Oh and should I use steal or aluminum hubcaps for better street performence?

whats up guys, just registered for your forums. i currently am running a '90 yj with 3.5" suspension lift, 1" body lift, d44/35 4.56. nothing to special still learning as i build.

thought i would stick to the rules and post up here that i am a newbie to the site. havent been wheelin in at least 15 yrs when i left wonderful tenn to move to michigan and sold my cj now i recently got a 94 yj and my kids are movein out so dads got a LITTLE extra cash to play again hopefully i will be on the trail soon

......and for those that want to do the scout vs.jeep thing....:flipoff2:

you'd probably end up wanting a commando anyway:flipoff2:

still a newbie here i guess. joined pbb last dec, been wheelin since '84. just never really got into the interweb thing too much. the commando has me on the puter more now as does the rocks. going to full width axles and other mods.

I am from LA (lower Alabama) been 4wheeling for over a year. I have a 78 CJ7 that I put a 6 inch lift on, axle spacers, 35 inch mudders. everything else is stock 304 V-8 th400 auto tranny. Now I want to go with bigger axles and lockers. tired of not being able to do what I want. Just wanted to say hello.:D

I is be NEWB. I am from SC. blah blah blah.

just clicking on all the newbie first time threads. I'm chris and I'm a jeepaholic.

My name is Rich from Beverly Ma. I Have been 4 wheelin a few times including a trip to moab, but always in the passenger seat. Well times have changed and I now have my own xj to go wheelin in. Thanks guys and i look forward to your help.

What the Hell happened to the old B?

I am pretty new in here. Just been reading different forums for the past few days, and wanted to introduce myself, and learn a few things.
I just bought a 2000 Wrangler about 4 or 5 months ago, and have been 4-wheeling it twice since then.
I went down to Las Cruces NM. Chili Challenge and drove the Intermediate trails down there, and had blast! Since then, I have 4-wheeled one more time on some local sand hills here in Albuquerque NM.
Like I said, I got a 2000 Wrangler, and when I bought it, it had a 4 inch Rough Counrty Lift with 33x12.50 Micky Thompson Baja Claws on it. It also has a Posi Rear end, but I think it has stock gears.
I am wanting to learn more about 4-wheeling, and also what to do to make my jeep a little stronger without breaking the bank!... Maybe like a grand or $1500

New B, what happened to the old B?

What is old B?
Not familiar... Just introducing myself.
This is the right place right????

I'm very new to wheelin. Pucked up a 96 yj 4 months ago. made my first run @ Reiter up the Wall trail. What a blast!:smokin:

Hello and thank you for all the info the board has provided me in the past. I refuse to do the, " I am not a newb just new to this board" thing. Based on my numbers I am a newb. I hope, at the very least, to learn and to contribute what I can to one of the best 4x4 sources out there.
Peace

Hey everybody.

just checking in. i am a newbie to the site and to jeeps. i have read through the forums many of times and decided to register. i have a 1985 jeep cj7 renegade that i am rebuilding from the ground up. the cj will basically be a trail and sand dune jeep. so i may have some questions as the project progresses.

Hello to all, I am new to pirate4x4 but not jeeps. I read alot of the posts but really do not post or reply to many, that may change. I have several projects going but focus on a 91 YJ SOA with Dana 60s and 40 inch boggers.
