    sas?

    I have a similar goal and assuming the transmission and transfer case are already taken care of and everything else is in good working order you will have to go dana60 to spin 40"s. your 4.0l can easily spin them and if built properly it will be able to put out the torque you need to even spin...

    http://www.rocktheboataudio.com/speakers.html I found better subs here. I just cant find 6X8 waterproof speakers. Instead of trying to cram 6x9's in I was hoping someone might have an idea as to what the best alternitive size would be. Thanks

    So far it looks like I can swap in 6X8's on all the doors and be OK??? does anyone know where I can get pre-made speaker pods I can adapt to my interior? doors? I also noticed issues with the fuse on the pioneers, is that still an issue? If it is still an issue, is it still worth it to...

    Big hp out of a 4.0l ohv

    I could not find the answer right away so i figured this might be helpful for others. When you look at swapping a v8 you might want to consider this instead. "We offer ported cylinder heads, cams, forged pistons to raise the compression ratio. To make 400 HP you will also need a 125-shot of...

    slotted and dimpled rotors?

    Hmm I know a bit about brakes. It depends on the percentage of use the front rotors take that decides the rotor type. I personally lean towards slotted rotors. They are actually designed to work better when hot. I like http://www.frozenrotors.com/ best. They started the " frozen" craze and...

    Manual transmission help 400hp 37" tires?

    For manual enthusiasts I did find out that the t5 can be made to swap right up to the 4.0l ohv and there is a older adapter that can be used to connect a transfer case. That also means you can swap a TKO as well. If you want I can find the part number's. Although many of the parts are nla ( no...

    I am going to sound like a nut but I wanted to avoid an automatic... I just find a manual is so much better on the trail and they tend to last alot longer. Tooling and messing around with plates and a drill press takes time that I don't have. Unfortunately I am hoping for a simple swap...

    Ready to spend over the "8 " months around 20k. If I needed to flex I could spend more, but really I wont need to. I have access to shops and tools. I can weld and tool quite nicely. Reality is, I will take alot longer to decide and I will change my mind too many times. This could take a...

    t5 ford 9" sas

    No offense taken at all. I prefer the even heavier old school ground hawgs, but they are not as good on the rocks. Yes I have a lot of experience. BUT you are 100% right about the goal. I tend to get plan and final product oriented. I am already “wheeling” my current rig. I have been...

    Manual transmission help 400hp 37" tires?

    I have done a bit of ford research with the manual trans and it looks like I could use the np435 as a ford product swap. As long as I can find a bell housing it should be a good option. This could work out after all. "The New Process 435 transmission was used in Chrysler (1963-1993 ), Ford...

    Manual transmission help 400hp 37" tires?

    I am going to quote supersix as to the hp for the 4.0l ohv. "We offer ported cylinder heads, cams, forged pistons to raise the compression ratio. To make 400 HP you will also need a 125-shot of nitrous or a turbo system." I'm going with a NX system because I will not need the extra power...

    t5 ford 9" sas

    After I swap in the manual transmission and transfer case I had planned on upgrading the TTB and dong a soa. I hoped I could run 35" at first while I cut out the fenders and installed flares. My final product would run 37x13x15 or 38x11x15 boggers. Most of the work camburg does would allow me...

    Manual transmission help 400hp 37" tires?

    Real simple ; I thought. I need to find a good manual transmission i can bolt to a 4.0l ohv. Please Don't ask about the 400hp, the important part is it is a v6 and it will be spinning 37-38' tires. I am willing to use a divorced transfer case if i have to. I was told a t5 is not good...
