Another one of those age old debates. Are headers better than manifolds or are manifolds better than headers. In the typical Jeeper type answer – it depends. Personally on a trail Jeep manifolds will get the job done and sometimes will be an advantage. Manifolds: More restriction usually equals more low end torque. Torque is …
The ultimate off-road tire. Gives the traction and confidence to go anywhere, and get back, even through the most extreme off-road conditions. DiggerLugz power through deep gumbo mud, dirt, sand, and over rocks. Tough, aggressive appearance. Still just as “streetable,” with longer treadlife and lower noise (compared to Radial Mud-Terrain T/A). TriGard construction for serious …
Most of us who have owned a Jeep have experienced the Jeep Wave. To some newbie Jeep owners it’s a source of confusion until either; you figure it out or someone explains it to you. It’s a fun following unique to only a few types of vehicles. Around the internet there are many pages dedicated …

BTW the Liberty off-road package added a few skid plates namely under the front diff, transfer case skid, and gas tank skid. This package also included …

If you think I am wrong, as usual let me know. 802,086* – Wrangler TJ 1996-2006632,231 – Wrangler YJ 1987-199527,792 – CJ-8379,299 – CJ-7 …
We all know the fun and freedom of a convertible vehicle, we also know the potential security problems with them also. Some of us have been the victim of theft from our Jeeps. I feel it beneficial to go over some common sense practices when leaving your Jeep somewhere. Realistically, if someone wants something bad …
Recap: In the last few years of the CJ series and the first few years of the Wrangler YJ Jeep outfitted the 4.2L (258) 6 cylinders with an electronic carburetor referred to as the BBD. The Carter BBD is a two barrel carburetor that came in two variations, one is computer controlled and has a …
