    Cobra 29LX and Wilson Little Wil- SWR Help (Extremely High)

    Some metallic paints will mess with the swr reading. You are making sure to check the swr with all the doors closed. This will affect it also.

    1987 XJ- Which Tranny?

    The PO got 145k out of the first BA-10/5.. I've gotten 125k out of this one and I'm still not having any sort of shifting issues with it. It really is about how they are/were cared for.

    Mail Jeeps

    I had a pair of 76 DJ-5D's.... 232 with a TF auto tranny. Both were 2wd's. Most of them in the lower 48 states were 2wd. If you found an Alaskan model, it could be the much larger World Cab models. Those were based on a CJ-6 frame. One of the best thing about the DJ's... all those mirror...

    I had the same issue on my 94 5.2... turned out my cheap distributor cap had cracked from the engine bay heat. Another known issue on these motors is the intake gasket, it can split and cause a leak.

    Another new guy...and the newbie questions?

    Its going to remain a DD for now, so its either 2" and 30's or 3" and 31's. I don't want to deal with some of the reliablity issues with going larger.. Also its most likely going to stay on AT's. I really liked the BFG's and Bridgestones I had in the past... I like the full-time 4wd system...

    Another new guy...and the newbie questions?

    Hello Jeep folks.... I followed Travis and a bunch of NAXJA folks here, and I really love some of the things I see here. Now that I am finishing the build of Midwest trail runner Jeep. I'm looking for someway to rescue my 94 ZJ from ending its life as a beat down DD. The expedition vehicle...
