lower jeep

ok so i havent updated lately, i got the 5 speed aisian transmission in :D , it wasnt that bad of a swap to do :cheers: , I'm starting to build a stroker motor for the truck found out the Nova leafs won't fit. :headpop:

I'm getting readdy to build a 4.7 stroker motor :D and i was wondering what is the best way to clean the piston rods can i sandblast them or just soak them in some degreaser? also where can i get a complete gasket set cheap? i called around and found the cheapest Fel Pro gaskets for like $103 for the upper and $33 for the lower parts of the motor, is this a good price for these? Thanks Lower Jeep

for tail light shavers just get some metal and start at the end by the tail gate and bend it around while welding it in and for a roll pan i used a 87-96 dakota roll pan had to cut i think 1 1/2" form each end and 3/8" out of the flange that bolts to the bed and the outside of the pan

the one on the left looks like a automatic computer for the tranny the tranny will not shift out of 1st gear with out this and the second one looks like a cruise control unit i think.

please don't put foam in the bed side, like they said make friends with some one that has a welder because i had a dodge shadow that some one put foam in a rust hole before i got it and had a new paint job on it and with in 3 months it made the hole even bigger. foam is not a good choice for any thing that is going to be exposed to the elements even after drying the foam out and welding new metal in the rust started back before i got rid of the car.

a set of 2000 wrangler rims fit on a mj?

that thing is sweet

o the rear is going lower than that even :D

so i got the bead just about done execpt i got a few welds to grind down , I'm lowering the rear end of the truck again, but this time I'm using a set of leafs from a bud that he had on a 70 Nova that were flatened out and putting a set of air shocks on it to have a adjustable suspension in the back , ill be ordering the air shocks tomarrow ill get some pics up in the next few weeks and days for the work :D

if you look under mj projects theres a few pics of mine as of last year truck looks pretty much the same ill get some pics up when i get the new leafs in and the air shocks next week

thanks all I'm looking for is the back and thanks for the help

what kind of truck will the rear air shocks work on a mj? i was looking at 84-88 toyota shocks but iu don't know if they would work. ps they don't have to be as long as a normal shocks because the truck is lowered about 4 inches thanks

my parents had a 1993 ford taurus wagon in the last year that we had it it was in the shop for 8 out of the 12 months in the year head gaskets blew at 53,000 miles , when they first bought it the rear window would not roll down, they fixed it but then when we got it back the front seat had a sqeack in it and the sale rep. told us face to face that we bought a ford and not a mercedes tehy ordered in a new car with the same color interior and swapped the seat out and put the bad seat in the new car and sold it that way

ok so i want some thing that would give me the best power thru the entire rpm range but mostly in the mid range, but i am still confused about it some but that explained it better than any thing else

so I'm picking up a 5 speed tranny for the truck on sat evening its mot the peugot but the betterone? i think

i would say at least half of the bump stop or remove it all together

x3 that thing is very nice, wonder what it would look like lowered on big wheels :brows: just joking i look nice how it is :D

i just stuck a cone filter for autozone on the factory pipe and got a valve cover air filter and put it on the other line for the brether

am i crazy or is some one else wanting to lower a jeep also!!!!!!!! :eek: :D i bought a set of rear leaf brackets form a junk yard and then a set of 4" drop blocks to add to that, i would reconmend cutting the bump stops down it you do the same as me. i now am working on getting a c-notch to weld in and a mono leaf or 4 link rear suspension with air ride on to it
