    Grand Cherokee Jeep 1999

    Right on, 4L ! Selec-Trac all the way! That's more like the 1990's GMT-400 select between 2wd, neutral, 4hi and 4lo. That's what you want. The other one is sort of an all-wheel-drive all the time option, most often coupled with the 4.7 liter 8 cyl, but not always. Interestingly, the '98 is the...

    Grand Cherokee Jeep 1999

    Those 1999's have the 4.0 six cyl engine or the 4.7 8 cyl. The 4.0 is practically unkillable and is. Very easy to work on. It's the same 6 cyl as in the Wranglers of the same time period. Everything is within reach and nothing is really too difficult. Starter, oil filter, spark plugs, fuel...

    Overland Bound Founding Principles

    I know it's almost Easter but what kind of resurrection is this? At least SammyC has been seen within the last month or so

    What are some options for good gas mileage in overlanding vehicles?

    The difference in this scenario is that you in your JK could do that all day, every day. While four people in a Honda Civic on similar roads would likely cause it to need x, y, and a in tires, underpinnings and low-hanging exhaust work far more often

    Billstein 5100. Can I lift front w/o lifting rear, What's the best set up?

    No. Shocks do not lift your vehicle. But in a coil-over system, the shock has a "perch," on which the coil spring sits. Stock sets have the lowest part of the spring sitting at x level. Levels and lifts come with multiple rings around the shock, and you can select the height at which to set the...

    Billstein 5100. Can I lift front w/o lifting rear, What's the best set up?

    The Bilstein 5100 front shocks are the only ones with a spring perch. The rears just ALLOW for an added inch in the back. So a taller leaf block, or stronger springs/helper springs to raise the rear an inch and make it look closer to right

    Billstein 5100. Can I lift front w/o lifting rear, What's the best set up?

    The 2014 GMC Sierra and Silverado are coil-overs in the front. So the perch, upon which the spring sits, can be raised or lowered. The rears are leaf so they need a block. Unless the toyota rears are different

    Billstein 5100. Can I lift front w/o lifting rear, What's the best set up?

    Leveled my 2014 GMC Sierra with the Bilstein 5100's. It's just about level but it does shift some weight to the rear. I added a Leer canopy and when I am loaded for travel and camping, seems like the front is a bit higher than the rear and the steering is a bit light. Now I want to bring the...

    Chevy silverado 1500 suspension ideas.

    I think the 20 inch may be an option. Also, replacing them with an even wider version is making this more difficult. My truck came with 18's and I know the base models come with 17 steelie wagon wheels. I removed the 18 aluminum and put the 17 steel wagon wheel on. That's what I intend to use...

    Chevy silverado 1500 suspension ideas.

    I 'very got a 2014 GMC Sierra. So the same generation of the same basic setup you have. I put Bilstein 1500's on mine and the front is leveled to the top setting. My snow tires look positively undersized and the stock 31.6 inch tires (265/65r18) tires still look a little small with the level...

    Mine was originally sold as a passenger-side airbag, but the audible alarm is a value-added feature. And I cant just switch it off
