    Automatic Xmsn Question

    I cant remember if I told you guys but....last summer I went wheeling through some bogs and mud and deep 3 1/2 - 4ft of water crossings 3 times in like 2 weeks.

    BulletProof XMSN

    Thanks for the replies! :) Sounds like the 700R4 is the better xmsn but costs more? I dont need o/d...i just need something that I can hammer on(within reason) and it will still get me home. What can I expect to pay for the parts? I can do the install.

    BulletProof XMSN

    Hello All, I just had my 2nd Transmission go on me. The shop around here said $1500 to rebuild mine and I will get a 1year warranty/12,000 miles. What are my options? I like to play in the mud and dont want to smoke another transmission. Can I convert it to a C-6 or C-4 or is there...

    MT Baja & Lift

    What kind of tire, Baja claws. I have mounted the AE Nitro rims 15x8 with a 3.3/4 backspace with the tires and put them on the truck. The drivers side front tire rubs slightly on the mudflap when I turn the wheel 20degrees or so. I really need Perry's front end or flares for the front wheel...

    Got Tranny?

    I have a '92 Automatic transmission with 100K on it and a transfer case for sale. The Transmission works fine with no known issues and the transfer case needs a motor? I was going to use this transmission for my truck but the shop said they could fix mine with an input shaft and a band, so I...

    MT Baja & Lift

    I ordered from Natltire.com on Monday and received the pkg's today (Thursday). All their tires are shipped for free right now. That saved me $70. Also I asked for a 2" lift and they sent me Skyjacker springs and a Skyjacker rear add a leaf. What puzzles me is what are these camber bushing and...

    anyone done a trap door for the fuel pump on a 1st gen?

    I dropped the tank and could not get the origanal straps back on...its a pain in the azz to do. I wish I would have cut a simple hole. I have also replaced the carpet and know that the rear seats are very easy to remove and the carpet is only held down by the plastic door runner thingy ( 2...

    Where would you spend $2500

    OK...after asking everyone and their brother what they would do, I have come to my decision. I will go with the 4in Skyjacker with extended Radius arms. Since this is my daily driver until spring time ( Then I will pick up a 350Z ) Im not going to run 35's. I will pick up the 33x12.5x15...

    35" tires will fit, but...I'll need ????

    I'm a little confused: a 4" lift kit is more expensive then a 5.5" kit What is the advantage of an inch and a half? Is it driveline angle? Im also thinking that maybe 35's are a little extreme for me at this point. Can I drive it around town with the 3:73 gears that are in it now? If so and...

    Jay Strip went BAD.

    Putting it in reverse at 60mph...Thats called aReverse Slide I used to do that with my Cougar...woohoo you should have seen the smoke and rubber! Not to mention the look on the passengers faces.

    Jay Strip went BAD.

    sorry for the confusion guys... no i did not attempt a "Rockford" or box 180. a jay strip is when you stop in the middle of a hill put the vehicle in reverse or nuetural until you reach about 5-10mph then slide the tranny into first while holding your foot to the floor. The tires are...
