Re: Re: Advice please: '90 YJ Conversion
Bill,
I suppose we have to agree to disagree here. I was very pleased with the
2.5L's performance in my 89 YJ, sprung over on 33's with 4.10 gearing.
Highway included, I was not dissapointed. Drive it like a Jeep, not a sports
car.

It is a great mill for this properly geared. Cheap to feed (longer
wheeling time), easy to cool and weighs less too. Many years ago (in
70's) I had a freind that lived near NC/Tenn border that had a old 51
Dodge military truck that looked like a Jeep on steriods with a flat
head six and a top speed of about 45. It weighed about 3 tons and had
military type tires around 36 inches tall in it and a engine driven
winch. It was a tank off road and would go anywhere you pointed it and
had right amount of power and gears for off road too. (first gear low
range was about 2 MPH tops) If hill was too steep to climb you could
winch yourself up in short order with good line speed and never worry
about battery dying or winch overheating. I had a chance to buy that
things years ago and kick myself for never doing it. It was 100% stock
and it great shape too. Once on a old loging road we feel through a
old wood bridge about 4 or 5 feet into creak below with a few feet of
water in it. We simply drove down the creek for a while until we found
a place to climb out and blaze a trail through brush and small trees
to get back hillside to old logging road. It was a blast to drive off
road. A V8 would not have made it any more fun to drive or able. The
silly thing even supported a snokle but we never used that feature.
