We get quite a few questions on this, in some ways a lot of ratings do not make any sense and cause a bit of confusion and debate about the Jeep crowd. In many ways I am mystified by some of the ratings too, especially when it comes to the new JK. The rated towing …
I get many questions about so-and-so wanting to swap an engine into his/her Jeep. It seems so often that someone wants to do a swap based on an engine thats available at the time. Either they already have it, can get it for nothing, or it’s real cheap. Doing a swap based entirely based on …
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 …
The SSR Series of Super Swamper Radial/TSL tires from Interco is the next generation of light truck radial tires. This series has many of the OEM sizes for Sport Utility Vehicles and 4 Wheel Drive light trucks who do not want to modify their vehicles but still need the performance of Super Swampers. The design …
This is an age old debate, whether to change differentials to lower your crawl ratio or change the transfer case gears or change the transmission. Here is my opinion – FWIW – that’s “for what it’s worth” in internet-eze. The problem: You feel you need lower something to achieve a higher crawl ratio. Crawl ratio …
Rrrrooooowwwwaawahh. I know that sound personally, it is usually a sound coming from the rear differential. Your Liberty probably has the off-road package and has a trak-lock in there. 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 …
I have been asked by a few for the Jeep production numbers over the years. After scouring the internet and consulting a few reliable sources here is what I can find. 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 …
