    Great info! I have iron rock 4" inch benchmark lift, it's good for now. If I keep my '04 wj, I'll go long arm next summer for sure.

    Couple of things those aren’t driles and slotted rotors ….you’ve got the endlink installed incorrectly the bottom needs to be flipped the 1ton steering is great but you need to relocate the track bar you can get it from trail forge relocation bracket for track bar and get the track bar well worth it for the hemi joints speed 250 and change all the joint to metal lock bushing setup way different ride and quiet

      Don't forget you can pull a 231 tc out of a Dodge truck and it bolts right up. Plus sye kits are half ! the price of sye kits for 242 tc. If I remember correctly , the 242 tc can handle 600ftlbs torque and the 231 from the Dodge trucks are rated at 1,300. The 231 also has the wide chain and you can also put a 6 planetary in it . Do a quick Google search tho for the right year of truck to wj .

    I think you should buy wjs and fix em up for the channel, with the overlanding craze in full swing you could buy broken wjs for a few hundred lift em up , fix the death wobble n sell em for a few thousand. theres way too many ending up in the junk yards these days😫

Usually you can see half his inventory is wj's. This is a small operation tho , of about 20 vehicles any given time. Now that there getting harder to find , it looks like he's moving to all jeeps in general. Drove past a week ago and only seen 3 on the lot.

    Did you put the engine in yourself? If so be sure the crank position sensor is in time, this has to be done with a professional scan tool. If the crank position sensor isn't in time it will loose horse power. The toothpick is just to get it close enough to run. I'm running 456 on 32's its not going to go to the drag strip, but it moves down the freeway, like a raised 80's jeep. The I6 doesn't have enough horsepower to push heavy wheels at high speed, there is a price to be paid for lowering the ratio. Lowering the ratio robbs speed for power, so going to 488 you'll probably go from from 65 mph to 55 - 60 mph top end . The I6 is designed to give tremendous amounts of low end torque, and that is what you really want off road. V engines tend not to have as much low end torque. If the I6 won't move with just enough rpm to fill the torque converter, more throttle probably won't help.

      @@dylansgarage3549 Awsome, I drove around for a long time before I figured that one out when the engine started missing at higher speeds. Suddenly there was power more like the old engine! I know it's never going to run 75 mph all day long like it did from the factory, but it didn't crawl like this from the factory either.
      Removing the fan in the winter interesting idea. May pick up a little MPG there. Calli can get warm in the winter though, in the 80's now.
