just switched from my jk to a tj... i know some things are different so i just need some questions answered...

I have a 5in long arm rubicon express kit on the jeep with 36in tires...
Will i need a bigger lift or trimming for 37's- 40s

Performance wise what can i do... No intake , it has a snorkel
Already have cat-back
Any chips? Headers? Replacement engines?

I'm still new here, and I can tell you are new as well and I would like to advise you to remove this, move it, or pretend to leave the site all together. The guys here will destroy you in the hardcore section, they will remind you its not tuesday, and they will flame the shit out of you. Just my warning, good luck with your questions.

Your early for tuesday but I'll help.

Just get some 40's and put them on, dont worry about tire rubbing better axles steering gearing SYE body protection etc.

Do get a TB spacer a snorkel a cyclone for the air filter for 18% better fuel economy and power. Sounds like a sweet rig

Oh and welcome noob.

do your self a favor and check out the /forum/67-jeep-non-hardcore/

i love it

Scotch740 · 11-15-2009, 06:56 PM

1) Congratulations you bolted on some shit.
2) OR even better perhaps you bought it already bolted on

3) Don't know the difference from break and brake.
4) Decline excellent information from l&tcustomsllc

So Read this.

When your done reread it.

Cute Jeep by the way

jk12177 · 11-15-2009, 07:03 PM

so your saying get a tb spacer?

and its not bolt on...ive welded so many parts, fabbed the 4 link rear, fabbed the cage in, the corners are welded on , the axles have plenty of welding and it wasnt bought like this

YredJ · 11-15-2009, 07:07 PM

Yes and I like the chrome ball hitch, dont forget bosch wiper blades.

serialkiller · 11-15-2009, 07:20 PM

really you plan on running 40's with dana 44's??? Are you fucking stupid or do you like to do trail repairs?

jk12177 · 11-15-2009, 07:21 PM

hahhah your bagging on me for a ball hitch and no... ive ran 40s on beefed up 44s for some time... you just have to know how to drive not to break them

YredJ · 11-15-2009, 07:39 PM

I figure you cant break them getting grocerys...

Dude, you cut and paste from your craigslist add then? Why are you selling it, I thought you just switched from a JK? All I did was google all that crap you put in your first post...

Beat95YJ · 11-15-2009, 07:43 PM

d44's will not last long with bigger tires. Think about axles. Limit your bump travel for bigger tires to avoid rubbing. You have plenty of lift unless you want to prerun the thing.

and yes, the tb spacer will make a HUGE difference.......

people like you piss me off, you come over here , tell everyone you had a jk then ask some random dumbass question....now, dumbass= jk driver, thanks...

now, head over to jeepforum.com and ask the question again, so everyone there can tell you how well 40's work on a d44, and stroke your ego about how badass your jeep is.

oh yea, stop being such a cry baby too.........

No way, it came with the stock shafts to use as back-ups! Sell those 44s and get some real axles to handle 40s, and while your switching them ditch that radius arm setup. Even then its still pretty much a bolt on rig in the Jeep world.

1. My daddy this, my daddy that. Are you 12 years old?
2. I have done so much welding this, wrenching that, I am so awesome my awesomeness is awesome and THEN you post the craigslist description?
3. In 2 more months you will start complainging about your post counter not changing.
4. In 3 months you will complain about the search feature.

Go away

Might add...you should hope that Chit Chat doesn't get a hold of this...

Not sure how safe I would feel in a cage that was "fabbed" by somebody that is confused by a TB spacer
