working on jeeps

[dodgemrmm]

I am in for all that, as soon as I can get info on where and how to look up parts for spacer lifts etc...everyone please e-mail me links and the like so I can get to ordering, all the help I can get is much appreciated, and the :cheers: and food is on me(hee-hee) Paula

what kinda of lift(s) are you looking at? budget? what type of wheeling do you plan on doing? max tire size you want? is it the daily driver? owned a jeep before? prepared for the highs and lows!? bad gas mileage, putting up with the envrio nuts. lol.

as with most things, but more importantly with jeeps, doing things once and right the first time is the best bet. yeah it stinks to not have the big lift and all the bells and whistles but saving and doing it right the first time is better.

there are tons of companies and vendors out there, some are much better than others. some will not be honest to newbies, selling things you don't need and giving bad info. there are enough people around here that have been there and done that to steer you in the right direction.
my best advice is to RESEARCH and ask lots of questions.

[currupt]

noooooo!!!!!! you couldnt be serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for real? he wouldnt want to do that to his daily driver!?!?!?!? i just dont understand... maybe thats cuz ive got a 60 and a 44 goin in mine soon :flip:

[dodgemrmm]

LOL corrupt, Im a SHE, and I am tiny, I would need a ladder to even get into it, and a safety net to jump out of it!! when the other half gets home, if he decides he wants the jeep and not my truck, he will probably do that, LOL, it does look cool though!! :wink: :D

[currupt]

haha, alright i'll stop, good luck though!

[gtrsnax]

What an idiot, you'd think anyone who is good enough with tools to get a Jeep looking like that would at LEAST notice they've got the passenger seat in backwards. What a dork. :D

[jp]

well obiously you haven't been to any rock crawling competitions lately. that's all the rage on the trails now, the passenger controls the rear steer and you score higher on the rocks course. lol.

jp

[currupt]

really?! i coulda sworn that they used hydraulic rams and hoses for that!? wait, what about the single seater comp buggys with rear steer? wheres the second person! is it a midget?!

[jp]

well obviously you haven't been to any rock crawling competitions lately. that's all the rage on the trails now, the passenger controls the rear steer and you score higher on the rocks course. lol.

jp

yes. that's exactly what i meant, the passenger hangs precariously from the axle and manually actuates levers, toggles and midgets so that the rear steers independently from the front.

note the LOL as the last three letters of the sentence. thus implying a sense of humor, IE: sarcasm.

I like sense of humor. It's #1 in my book, well actually #2 , theres is something much much more important than that but I can't discuss that here.
:wink:

[currupt]

really, you know i couldnt tell! heh, im a sarcastic SOB too. and thats all i was being.

[toplessgirl]

No drama bitches! Be nice!!!!!

[Misfit8]

Well, just have fun bein broke. I spend to much time workin on it and not enough time on the trail and that sucks. :bang: :bang:

[gtrsnax]

I just dont spend enough time on the trail, I cant afford to always be working on it. :mad:

[Misfit8]
