    Engine advice

    I run 35's with the 2F and it does OK. I can run 70mph on the highway but 75mph is all she's got. 65mph is pretty much it for comfortable driving speed. If I were to do it again, instead of working over the 2F, I would go with a standard 350 and build it to around 250 - 275hp with a torque...

    What is your 80 getting for Christmas?

    Finished laying down two nice coats of bedliner for the interior floor last night...turned out pretty nice and it was super easy.

    For Sale 1994 FZJ-80 'The Batmobile' is for sale

    Man, that is tempting. I loved my 40. But, I suppose the whole point of what I am doing is to offload projects so sadly I must decline. But...$6k and the 80 is yours. :popcorn:

    For Sale 1994 FZJ-80 'The Batmobile' is for sale

    No, I pulled out all of the carpet but have not done anything with it yet. If it does not sell, I suppose I need to do something about it. I have a '74 Chevy, a Harley, and this 80. I just bought a new house and my kids are getting into stuff now so I have to pick and choose. I really don't...

    Overkill Armor Protection 101 - Belly Skid Plate

    I have not had a chance to put it to use. I had a birf and front axle rebuild that just got finished up so the 80 hadn't hit the trails.

    Fuel Efficiency

    On a good tank: 14.5 mpg hwy 12.5 mpg city sucks and going to get worse with the armor and lift 50 mpg Harley Sportster Now you see why I ride to work most days. :grinpimp:

    Expedition Rig

    Great idea but I agree with most in the respect of the price. $15k isn't going to be enough for you to make it worth your time. For example, I am building a similar rig and here are my estimated-ish costs to date and I get parts for CHEAP. I also do most of the work myself: $4,500 94...

    Wooden Roof Rack

    That is cool and smart...I hope it holds up but you saved yourself lots of dough and it looks good :cheers: I built one out of an aluminum ATV ramp and some 1/2" flatbar. In total, it cost me $62. I am using the stock roof rack and U-bolts and have not had any problems, just don't load a ton...

    Rear Axle rebuild costs and time

    If it matters, I had my rear end rebuilt with all new OEM parts for $690 total. I had my mechanic replaced everything but the pinion and ring gears.
  14. spike6901

    What is the best option; rebuild or replace rear diff?

    That is cheap...but I am assuming that is only labor? I had mine rebuilt a few months ago and changed all bearings, seals, etc but kept the ring and pinion. It was $680 but I used all OEM parts.

    Wheel question

    The stock wheels are hell for stout. And, they look great when you rattle can 'em.

    Overkill Armor Protection 101 - Belly Skid Plate

    I just mostly finished my transfer case skid. 1/4" thick, 43lbs of steel = overkill.

    The Skid Plates - Full Body Protection

    Thanks for the comments...lots to think about. If there is a problem with mine, I can just torch it but people who may buy them may not be able to 'make them fit' if there is a conflict. For my style of wheeling (weekend runs with occasional mountian trips) these skids will be more than...

    1994 Cruiser oil leaks

    Sealers can work but you have to use 'em every oil change. My '73 Chevy truck had leaks and I used the stuff along with high milage oil. ...going on 3 years now with no leaks but if I don't add it when I change the oil EVERY time, it will start up again.

    Alarm wiring

    Definatly not factory. If it were me, and it was, I would remove it all. Once you disconnect it from your main harness that lives around the steering shaft, follow each wire and terminate it all. You will be much better off getting it all out and eliminating the possiblity of a short...
