but Pete will it always be a beater? a little time and money invested now can save you in the near future. if you plan on restoring this truck (or anything close to restoring) u might as well just on greatlakes and ask for some help. someone will have a welder and the know how, u supply the pans and beat up knuckles. i don't know if it is as much of a situation to buy the panel, but i think that's the only way to go. PS< won't the aluminum make the oxidation accelerate?

shermanparts.com they will tell you a dealer close to you if you don't want to pay for shipping. they are the only place that i know of that makes them. the guy also said that the full XJ quarters will work if you modify them, but i think he's smokin somthin...

I keep getting the feeling that the TPS units are poop in the jeeps?

moped's kick so much @$$....seriusly. i'm aroused jus thinking about one

use a single stage white, lol it worked cherry on the mustang to hide the body dings you still get some gloss, but kides the little imperfections quite well

the D60 and D70? If they're the 5.67 ( i htink?) that would be pure madness with 37's or even 40's!!! i say do it :brows:

its a current challenge faced by the supermileage team here at the UofW...might have been last years problem i think. i htink they had trouble finding the right trans to axle ratio and it ended up pooping out the engine. silly engineers..

that is a damn good point, and that definately just ended any thought I had on further researchign the topic lol! i definately would take a tranny over a variable axle What about both??? It could be the ultimate highway"er"

see i disagree, I love the look of ground affects on street machines. I had though about building a steet/strip MJ, but decided offroading is more fun and I don't have one of those. I would love to see a stroked engine be dropped into a street MJ, it could definately destroy a lot of the v*'s out there.

I don't think you can change it on the fly. Now i have no witenssed this for myself, so if this is BS, I apologize, its all hear-say is what i'm going on. I was told that its an adjustment( whether it be a switch, or bolt of whatever no idea) that allows you a change in the rearend without taking it apart. still has to be done manually, just extremely easily.

the 6spd is suppose to be standard (and I sure hope it is) I would also like to see them go to the variable gear rear end. 4.11's for towing, 3.07 for highway...it was done befor in a chev i believe. I will have to confirm that one though. and if not, its a heck of an idea i think. problems would defiantely be the accurate mileage? maybe that's why it hasn't been done for so long. a 4cyl deisel should be pretty decent on gas n e way no?>

Attention all club members: I would like to start a thread listing all the websites you know of that supply a lot of the common and special parts that are available for the MJ crowd. Whether it be tires, suspension, body panels, great paint, interior, raw materials, anything. I think it would be a great idea because everyone has their own niche of websites they stay on, and would like to venture to others. Please share away, and try to watch out for duplicates if you can! Thanks for the help.

what about possible sticky?? where should i place this little gem?

i would like to see a refernce section...ppls favourite sites, great prices on lifts, tires etc. WHERE TO BUY BODY PANELS/REPLACEMENT PANELS anyone else? :cheers:

where you driving in Michigan.....LOL!!!

true true, i forgot monstly american... for all those interested in knowing, Red-Green is an inventor, pioneer, and canadian hero of ductape. you would not believe the solutions this guy can come up with. lol. I recommend researching him ASAP. :bowdown:

i think some red-green tape would be the best bet. seems to fix everything

how are they with the tranny's? I've never seen the deisel shift hard, but i've HEARD of it. word of mouth could be misleading, no suprise there. but i know in the rice rockets, their is a tendacy to really hammer the gears when it shifts on an auto. you can feel the whole car jump when it shifts (and trust me, its not the new power and torque)

:needpics: What all has been done up to now?

there are sooooo many diesel chips out there, but I can't help but worry about them. I've seen a lot of friends rice rockets go KABOOM over those chips, and Ive seen 1 diesel as well. seems like risky business to me. Banks Power would be about the onlyu place I would trust for it

the deisel (from the website) that would be in your libby would be the same in the Gladiator as of right now, but a different version. the Gladiator concept has more torque, but same HP. i think there is about 50 FT.LBs more. Which is better command trac or select trac? (these are the same concept as NP231 and 242 correct?)

good site thanks for the post Pete, is it the same I-4 that's supposidly going into the gladiator?

how bout some used 36 mud boggers??? $100....

you could have the trans and clutch out of my 89. who wants a 5sp n e ways? NO idea if it is working properly or not...or if I will ever need it lol :wrench:

i heard that the start up cost do ge the cooking oil thing was expensive?? anyone else have n e idea??
