post some pics up, I’m trying to get this forum started again!!!
I honestly wouldn’t waste your time on pittsburgh offroad, that board is full of a bunch of people who talk a big game but never do anything. Do yourself a favor and go else where
try:jeepforums.com pirate4x4.com blwa.org
and read, read, read. A HUGE wealth of information on those boards
I will agree with you on that one i found that one out about an hour after i joined pgh-offroad.com . i am a member of jeepforums.com and surf pirate4x4 often. i have found that both sites have helped me countless times already and i have only owned the jeep for 2 months!!!

~ Ahhhh yes, herculined many rusty parts. That stuff is TOUGH.
4 door love what do you have?
I just picked this up about a month ago.http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Jacks HEEP.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Jacks HEEP.jpg)
So far I put a new exhaust, including catalytic for $260 shipped LMAO. Also, new front calipers, pads, and rotors ($75)!
I just purchased these rear frame repair pieces that I am welding on January 2nd. ($250)http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Frame Rails.bmp](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/Frame Rails.bmp)
The wanker who had it before me must have like aluminum/chrome on Jeeps.
I just had my dad order me the Smittybuilt Rock sliders poweder coated black for the sides, and I am painting the grill inserts black as well. It will make a HUGE difference on the way the HEEP looks.
Other than that the major mechanical issues have been taken care of. The last stop will be to Jtech for front U-joints.
January and February will be a 4" lift and 33/12.5 BFG Mud tires.
Why did I sell my Maxima and 350Z for this thing again?
I love it!
Am on jeepforum (Huge info. site), backwoods jeep club, and Jeep Heritage site from Pittsburgh. Need to check out 4x4pirate.com .
love the jeep if you have some extra time check out this build thread!!! one of the nicest tjs i have seen in a while!!!

I love that orange 4runner. Most of the places you guys go, are they state run parks, private property, tresspassing, or what? Those look like some awesome trails.
All of the trails in those pictures are either very very roughly taken care of state roads or private property which you pay a nominal (10 bucks per day) fee to park and ride.
ZEX - jeep is looking good, when you’re ready to lift it let me know I have a buddy who might be getting rid of his 35’s for something bigger

Thanks for the offer on the 35’s… It is a 4 banger with 4.11’s. Without re-gearing, 35’s would render 5th gear unusable under its own power. Its a D.D.
Some meaty 33’s will have to work for this one.

tell me about it, I used to have a 4 cyl TJ and it wouldn’t do anything faster than 60 even with a tailwind

LMAO - what size tires?
I currently have 235/70/15. I can go 75+ without a problem now.
Debating on pulling the sway bar and track bar. I would think it would get sloppy though. Others beg to differ.

they were 31x10.5x15’s bfg at’s, it went anywhere a tj on 31’s should go and then some:
as for pulling the sway bar, if its your dd, I wouldn’t do that at all. It will be a pain in the ass trust me
As for your track bar, you need to have that on your jeep to steer, if not you basically cannot steer at all

i remember that jeep !..i think i still got the vids & some pics from wheelin that 1 day with us
Here’s one of my “trail rig”
This thing has been alot of places it shouldn’t have made it…but enough speed and/or carelessness gets it there. 4wd is not currently operational though which has inhibited further use until fixed.
