Procomp FTW

[1/28/01]

I say Procomp or BDS now, but I (the Jeep) was sponsored by Skyjacker in the pics above ....Oh well, that was a lifetime ago!

[H8R]

I'm thinking about upgrading my suspension on my Ram 1500 do u know anything about Rancho?

Rancho is crap. I'd go with CST .

The other ones mentioned are OK. BDS, being the better of the two but CST is a Big Boy lift. : )

intakes for my Z are being installed as we speak, called the place, they said they were half way done... will post pictures of it when i pick it up

they better of wrapped the A/C lines to prevent rubbing, and eventual wearing on pipes leading to damage.. like i told them 2 times to do before i took it in...

That's a cute little motor.

That's a cute little motor.

Yeah, those darn little 6.6 liter motors....

[flynismo]

<br />Yeah, those darn little 6.6 liter motors....<br />

Love it. That's always been my main gripe with Jeeps -- the lack of torque. That 6.6L should take care of that.

Yeah, its a 401 out of '71 Wagoneer with roughly 335hp @5000 and 435 ftlb @3400

Not really sure if H8R was kidding or just didnt really know what he was looking at...I guess we'll find out soon

[Raven07]

3.7 liter here

I was kidding. : P That motor is perfectly suited for a Jeep with 39's, just not much else unless it's in a boat!

Boat Anchor! : P A 400 SBC would have been a better choice. : P How'd you like the Davis HEI? Thank GM for it! hahahahaZ!

Got ya....yeah, that'd be nice!

The 39's were on the old jeep. This one has 33's now and will be getting a new set of 35's shortly. And then that's it height wise for this one.

[H8R]

I bet thats a fun little package with 33's. What gearing you running?

I'm contemplating a Solid axel Swap with my X after it's not my daily anymore. I'm looking for a Nissan Frontier to fill that void. A couple of guys have SAS'd the 2nd gen Xterra using a bunch of JK Rubicon bits.

4.10's which is why I'd like to jump up to 35's. Runs a little high (RPM wise) when in 3rd (the final gear).

My next project is a 4 door Wrangler JK. I am in love and want to replicate something like this:

really not a fan of that...thing.

Looks like the byproduct of a Hummer getting drunk one night and picked up a Wrangler at the gas station.,,,,,,,,

Really? I am in love with this look!! It will be built, oh, it will be built!

not that I think it's ugly, it just has a weird mix of old school and new school. Just looks like it was patched together. Maybe if you tighten up the gaps and clean it up a little I'd have a different opinion,,,,,,,,,,,,

This is more of the direction id like to go. Saw this on in VA a few months ago.

I love the JK's TOO! I was actually thinking about buying a JKU myself! I want the fastback hard top from Wild BOAR! That, with a nice TerraFlex 6" kit with Walker Evans 17" beadlocks and 40" Pitbull Rockers! Ohh yea, and the COD off-road SRT Hemi swap... hahahahahah! Did I mention the RockJock axels!? About 70k later.....

Yeah, you've rattled off some serious stuff there. That would certainly be nasty!

[H8R]

Yup, I'm a DREAMER. HAHA. The X will do for now. : )

[BmoreRav]

Have you guys seen this? Some guy turned his 2002 Mercury Cougar Coupe into a replica of the Bugatti Veyron. Engine is untouched though, it's still a standard 2.5L V6!

Edited July 16, 2011 by BmoreRav

[1/28/01]

definitely slick looking, but with a stock motor? Hahahahahaha!

freaking' ricerz

[H8R]

Not a bad job BUT anyone whom has seen a real Veyron would be able to tell in a split second. The Bug.Vey is HUGE, that mercury..not soo much. ahah!

[1/28/01]

Ugh.....the Jeeps battery drains over night every time I charge it. Anyone know a faster, more efficient way of narrowing down the electrical culprit other than turning everything off and using a 12v test light for every freakin' single circuit? Its hot out and that going to take forever tomorrow...

[1/28/01]

Ding ding, we have a winner!!!! Faulty voltage regulator it is....

[H8R]

I was going to suggest pulling a fuse per day until the battery stopped draining. Then, at that point you could narrow down the circuit.

Volt. Reg external on the Jeep?

yeah, $20 and done in 15 minutes. Huge relief, as I didn't want to start picking and pulling.
