SaharaTJ Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Ok I Need to decided what to get for my tj. It Has come the time to spend some money on doing something to the tj. I came across some extra cash so I have decided that its time to up my tj a bit. my options are either buying a DIY stroker kit or an ARB for my 30. I can't make up my mind on what to do. I would like the extra traction to my d30, on the other hand my engine has a small oil leak and in doing the stroker i could fix that and it would add more power. I can't make up my mind. I might be able to squeeze both if i buy this arb off my buddy. But should i invest in the stroker or the locker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Rod Jeep Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I'd go locker, but if you can do both then that's even better. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 A small oil leak will just keep your engine bay and undercarriage rust free. :jump: :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some research and I could do the stroker kit for about 600 bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 where's the leak? Rear main, valve cover? I'd fix the leak on the exising engine and get a front ARB. a locker will get you more places than more power. I seem to wheel just fine with my 260K renix ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to wheel just fine with my 260K renix ;) I've got a locker in the rear and i got claws there isn't much that has stoped me except rocks which i just done like goin on i do but don't go all out. i've got 2 leaks one in the valve cover and then someone else that i can't find near the tranny cuz i keep getting oil on it. But i think my buddy has his arb and 4.88 for a 30 for cheap so i may end up getting both and spend about a grand in total for the parts for the stroker, arb, compressor and a few small odds and ins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My quick disconnects rusted over just from like the actual 4 days of snow and road salt we saw last winter, and My tj is canadian born so it spent atleast a couple years there till i bought it in the states. my jeep has alot of rusted stuff but it doesn't bother me - gave me a reason to buy a compressor.
