Hey all!
Name is Tanner and I'm new to the site thanks for having me.
I really want to get out and get my jeep dirty, so far it has been a really awesome rig. (First time jeep owner here)
Just got my 97jeep up and going, I'm ready to rip some trails.
I'm good for weekends and evenings my cell is 250-634-2980 text or call any time really.
Spec of my rig so you can have an idea.
97 jeep
4 inch lift
33 murders
Are front bumper
8,000 pound warn winch
V8
Good to go
that thing an auto? I would highly recommend hooking up some serious support for that thing including a BF B&M cooler and at least one temp gauge to warn of impending irreversible damage when you get it in the mud.. and any other situation where liberal application of the skinny pedal is necessary.
looks killer though. cant wait to hook up for a run. just trying to Finnish my cooler install on my slush box..
also you running cb? or vhf at all?
Hey man thanks for the response!
I have been looking for a cb to buy for awhile now if you know of one for sale I got cash in hand for one.
Yeah its auto what does a BF B&M do?
It had the stock temp gauge is that one not so hot on these?
Into doing any work to it to make it better off road.
I'm good to go this weekend if you wanna rip something.

I don't keep extra cbs on hand however I like amazon.ca for pricing and free delivery is nice when you can find items with it. think I spent 60 on the cb 20 on the cable 40 on the antenna and another 60 on the custom antenna mount as I was unhappy with all other options. so around 180 altogether, I did a whole lotta research before I bought a thing so that I knew what I was putting together. not all manufacturers are equal. stick with good recognized brands like cobra Firestick and K40
Big fucking B&M cooler to keep your auto trans cool. the stock temp gauge is ok at best for engine temps but you don't know what your trans is doing. think of an automatic trans as using a grinding disk to spin the output shaft or a a constantly slipping clutch. they generate heat, when you put bigger than stock tires on them without changing your axle gears out it puts a greater load on the engine and transmission thus generating more heat... when you reach 200* Fahrenheit the fluid starts to break down (this is where the burnt trans smell comes from) at 240* irreversible damage is done as the rubber seals in the trans start to break down, for every second your foot is on the accelerator the trans build 1* of heat at 300* you have approximate 30 minutes or miles until complete catastrophic failure of the clutch material and your no longer moving under your own power.
not to scare you out of taking your rig out, but I seriously recommend it sooner than later unless you plan on rebuilding the transmission at a later date.
yah I am up to my elbows in my own endeavors at the moment (including my own BF B&M cooler) as well as having other friends who need help on their projects.
but information is free for all so feel free to ask about anything. (that and its way easyer to type a few instructions out for someone to follow while feeding my newborn than it is to drill holes and weld.
when my shits together here and insured I will post up a group meet n greet for a big group of us core guys and allot of our new follower's
Know the best place to grab a bf b&m cooler?
Really rather not wreck my trans.
Also in my zj the all time 4x4 isn't always ingaged it seems. Is that normal? 4-lo works awesome but the back wheels just kinda spin in normal drive. Do I have to hammer down to engage the front diff or something?
Welcome to the site tanner. Truck is looking rad.
got mine off amazon.ca 130 bone and thats right free shipping
on your transfer-case selector, how many positions do you have 3,4 or 5?
NP231: Part time transfer case used commonly in XJ's, YJ's, TJ's, ZJ's, etc. It offers 2wd, 4 part time, and 4 low.
NP242: Full time transfer case used in XJ's and ZJ's. 2wd, 4 part time, 4 full time, and 4 low. The 4 full time feature is unique from the NP249 as it does not use a vicious coupler (what goes bad in the 249), but instead a mechanism that operates similar to an open differential.
NP249: Full time transfer case used exclusively in 93-98 ZJ Grand Cherokees with 4 full time and 4 low. The 249 utilizes a vicious coupler used in conjunction with the center differential found in the 242. This makes for very efficient, and very effective full time operation. 93-95 lack the ability to lock the center differential in 4 low, while a revised version in 96 changed this.
