thanks well i think instead of getting a 6 1/2 in lift i might buy a 8 in long arm from rustys offroad so what do you think it only 1900 for the whole kit so its not much more than a 6 so why not get it

Mykal

You do not need 6.5" of lift on a Cherokee let alone 8".
Why do you think that you need that much?


Get rid of that POS snorkel. Its not functional and it looks horrid. There is a reason you got it so cheap.
You would be better off plumbing the intake into the cowl.
Have you or do you plan on doing anything else to waterproof your submarine?

What rear axle is under it?
What size tire do you plan on running?
What type of terrain will you be wheelin?
Is this your daily driver?

Cool, congrats! Def agree with everyone about the snorkel...
I got mine for $200!

i took ur guys advice about the snorkel and got rid of it and the reason i want that much lift is so i dont get high center and dont have to worry about getting stuck as easy went today and got some sheet metal to replace the rusted hopefullly will have them in later tonight wil post pic going to buy some brand new rims and tire 33 but trying to fig out how iam going to make them thinking of doing spacer and a shakel lift any ideas i was told i could do some trimming and make them fit to make it more waterproof iam going to put slycone around the dis. and idk what iam going to do about the computer iam not planning on driving in alot of water just in the mud i just dont want to hydro lock the motor

lol well I'm yet to ever get high centered on anything with my 33's and 6" inch lift. I would imagine a 4" wouldn't high center much. I wheel some pretty crazy ****, and I don't think I've ever even came close. nice jeep though.

wvboy

yea i found a good deal on a 6 1/2 with everything for 600 includes dropman arm quick disconnect and no luck with getting to get my floor in bec some people say they will do something and never keep there word iam about to try in weld them in myself unless there is someone that lives close to me willing to lend a helping hand and thanks for all the help with the lift i just wanna get the right height and only do it once not decide i wanna go bigger then have to buy it all over again

wvboy

here are some pics of the floor and the jeep without that pos snorkel

this doesnt look very safe

well now I know why you paid 800.

Take a look at my floor thread, itll give you an idea what you are in for, its alot of work to do it right, but worth it if you intend on keeping it forever,

wvboy

lol yea that would be why i paid 800 for it and i was actually looking at it today and you did a very good work iam planning on keeping it forever so i wanna do it right the 1st time around but ive never weld it with a mig and not sure if i have the skill to do it well i took my jeep out today and and my oil guage was running low but would go up when i hit the gas what would cause that i was thinking maybe my oil pump is going out also when i go to take off sometimes it will bog down and shut off any ideas would be great thanks

The Blacksmith

more than likely bearings cause low oil pressure, oil pressure will always rise under acceleration.

try changing the oil and see if it helps. You can also use lucas oil stabilizer which helps raise oil pressure, amongst other things.

well took ur guys advice so i woke up this morning went and got me a welding helmet came home and spent the hole day cutting out all the rust and shop vacing so iam going to try in grind everything down 2mm for some paint then going to start welding i got to do some practice welding today and i didnt do to bad just got to get use to the wire it a lil hard to keep the right amount coming out but the time iam done with this i think ill be able to weld with all the patching i got do then iam get some chassis saver and go to town on it thanks for the help guys

wvboy

alright so i cut my sheet metal today and did that turn out to look like xxxx then tryed to weld and that turned out worse than the floor so welding is not a option going to have to pop rivet it in

dont give up so fast. your not just gona be able to turn on a welder and be good at it. give it some practice if you allready got access to a welder i wouldnt pop rivet everything.
