Re: TJ Won't Start

If the starter is bad, you might want to spend the extra money and get a quality starter. (dealer)

Re: YJ on Tons Build Saga

2 questions..
1, how did you check tongue weight?
2, have you upgraded the receiver on your truck? The factory one is only rated for 500/5000.

Re: Evelyn Howe

Yesterday we brought Eve's Jeep from Gloucester to her Brothers house in Norfolk. He has plans to "fix it up" with her son Tim. I told him to keep us posted as there are a bunch of Baystaters that want to help with this. When I loaded it on the trailer, I noticed a couple of things right a...

Would have been a great race between that and my old Ram. Difference being my truck was 4WD, weighed 7K, co...

Re: New gears

I have Motive Gear ring and pinions in my Scrambler. Good product. If your price includes parts for both front and rear axles it sounds pretty good. I would check on Summit Racing just to compare prices.

Re: Jeni's New Truck

So may need a ball mount this weekend. What style is best? I have always used: http://www.etrailer.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/pics/2/7/2753_tn.jpg But thinking this style might be a better option. Questioning the "adjusting part, seems like a weak link. http://www.etrailer.com/Merchant2/g...

FjR68 Frank, I'm pretty sure the Tundra is built in North America, with more Made in USA parts than the American trucks. If Toyota offered a 1-ton wi...

Keep looking Duncan, that's way too much $$ for that axle.

They can be found with 4:10s for a lot less than that. Probably closer to home too.

Re: Exhaust System - Muffler & Tail Pipe

Any setup that will increase flow will increase power and MPG.

I would go to Lou's Custom Exhaust (multiple locations) and have them weld up a new system with a Flowmaster muffler.

Re: Beadlocks? What you running how do you like em?

These are DIY I bought used for short $$. Holding up well, other than rock rash, but I have touch up paint. They are very heavy, and on the highway feel like they are square, although that could be the bias ply IROKS.
