i would if i had a trailer, big enought to park the jeep inside and work on it, motorhome to tow it and two more freinds with the same set up

i installed a tc drop because of vibrations i was experiencing after i put my rc 3" lift on a couple of weeks ago. I am thinking about getting a dynomax turbo exhaust kit and was wondering what kind of cold air intake would be good to install with it

I have been taking lots of pics. Can't wait to get home and download them onto the computer and see how they really turned out.

Sorry that happened but I am glad I wasn't the only one to bust those center pins, I think shims were my problem. So I might try to reweld the perches at a different angle.

98CherokeeSport · 11-12-2009, 09:40 AM

ya you broke your centering pins, brian broke his and now i broke mine! lol damn shims!

tampaviking · 11-12-2009, 05:37 PM

If this trend continues I might as well go pick up a spare rear driveshaft

Haven't done anything yet. Still trying to find a way to solve my slow throttle response problem. Thinking about doing a Sea Foam treatment.

troy fritz · 11-27-2009, 02:25 PM

I rotated tires, fixed blinkers, tightened all trim, fixed arm rest lid, changed front brake pads, greased front end, relocated vac bottle to under hood , and put frint bumper back on. I ripped it off on my last outing. Now I have to change my diffs and tc fluids.

4Doors · 11-27-2009, 04:07 PM

Just made a deal to buy 5 Ravine wheels w/tires from a guy for $100 total! I'll pick them up tomorrow afternoon!

greencherokee · 11-27-2009, 06:07 PM

built my own cold air intake and put an oil breather on

98CherokeeSport · 11-27-2009, 11:26 PM

i toasted the shims i just put in a few weeks ago. so instead of getting new ones i went the permanent route. i pulled the rear end out, cut off the spring perches, mounted and welded new spring perches about 6 degrees forward. no vibes now
