The standard ratio for grand wagoneers is 2.72 which is just hopelessly tall. It kills the auto and makes a very sluggish truck even on stock small tyres. ....
31s (ie my firestone rmts) on stock rims won't rub your fenders except at the point where the bottom of the sill meets the wheel arch and then only when under...
The simple answer is that your stock GW 7" wheels will work with those tyre sizes perfectly. The 31s are the maximum safe size to go on the rims BUT their...
Hey guys, Thanks for the tips and help. Lots of great info to consider. I am pretty sure the mtr is due for some help. The timing chain skipped a tooth and...

I am interested to know if there are any motor swaps that I can do on my wagon to get better gas mileage and also more power out of it? Can a motor be swaped...

Unfortunately, any motor swap you do will end up costing you a whole lot more money than you would ever save on gas. Not only would you have to swap the motor,...

With as much talk about gas milage as there is, I thought I would relate some facts. I will be comparing my daily driver 98' XJ versus a Toyota Prius hybrid. ...

A: Are you sure it was the timing chain and not the dreaded cam walk destroying the cam gears? Make sure the new engine comes with a front cover (which is the...
A: There is no drop in replacement "other brand" engine without $$$ in adapters unless you already have the drivetrain. Check your catalytic converter first...
I have zero experience with the 360 but I've taken dozens of SBCs out with a plate on the aluminum intake and never had a problem. And I usually take those out...

IIRC There was one member that had a FSJ and claimed he was getting over 22 mpg with his stock Jeep setup using the I6 engine and maybe a manual trans. Most of...
I think it depends too on how long you intend to run the GW. I am converting to a diesel engine. Cheap not in the short run but considering WVO and SVO it...
This is why I'm driving, besides my Jeep, an '85 Chrysler Fifth Avenue.... My plates cost next to nothing for taxes, my insurance for both vehicles is under...
Thanks Chris, I know the stock wheels would work well, but two on my Grand Waggy do not match, and instead of finding two replacement stock ones, I would like...

lol I guess that is one way along with towing it behind a motorhome or another FSJ. This is keeping it 100% Jeep. Cumins engines are possible, or what Jim B is...

... fun. sorry i can't offer much in the line of carpeting suggestions other than BJ's, but changing the heater core in an SJ *can't* be all that bad. i mean,...

What adds to the fun with the FSJ is that some studs come thru the firewall from the inside and some from the frontside to the inside. Then there's the stock...
You're right, Tom, it is outside on the firewall. I can't explain exactly how it leaked inside the car. The box had a bunch of leaves & dirt that built up...
I was just curious<g> I'd heard in the past that BJ's set was better as it included the tailgate piece & some other sets do not, I've also heard some don't...
