Tires will probably rub your lower control arms if using stock wheels. Steering stop adjustment would fix that but would also limit turning radius.

But i noticed jeeps tend to already have a pretty nice turning radius so limiting it a little would a small price to pay right?
and this this an actual question. Becuz i am simply just curious

Depends on the person. Some don't mind; some do.

That's what I run on my 2000.. I only rubbed one time, at full turn, as I pulled out of my friend's driveway, after loading up to move him.
I run Firestone Destination A/T's. So, they're technically only 29.5" diameter. But no rub at stock height.

My 235/75 Destination M/Ts rub cause the tread blocks are huge. My LT30x9.5 street tires rubbed only at full lock.

Not as bad since Alex torched off the plow brackets, but I can lock the tread blocks around the driver side LCA.

might be a dumb question, but why don't you just use your existing hinges?

Is there an official name for when you remove the trunk portion of the roof and windows but rollbars in?

Losing the cargo area is called chopping, putting hatch in as a window I'd just call "clean", rollbars just rollbars lol

Hey guys,
I just replaced my CPS as was recommended, and hoping that it fixes the problem. For curiosity's sake, what exactly does it do? I haven't found a good answer to that anywhere. Just that it causes all sorts of issues when it goes bad.

It's what sets the timing. It tells the coil to fire.

it provides a pulse signal for the crankshaft position in order for the PCM to control the spark timing and fuel injector firing for the engine. If it's malfunctioning, the engine will not run or start, and can even shut off while driving.
