Disconnecting swaybar, K&N filter question, engine mod questions
 

Um, just checking here... I have a 4 inch lift, and stock brake lines. If
I disconnect the swaybar, is there a chance that the flex will pull the
brake lines out? (2001 TJ)

I see alot of those K&N airfilter kits on jeeps. When I go muddin', it's
ALL OVER the engine compartment. Do those guys go muddin with those
filters? If so, how do you keep the mud off/out of the filter?!?!

Finally, after looking over this newsgroup... I take it that all those
aftermarket engine mods (k&n, headers, throttle body spacers, jet chips,
etc) are crap? Unless you added ALL of them up together, and spent all that
money.

Is there anything simple or cheap (ya right huh?) that can be done to the
4.0 engine for performance? Not that I'm in need of the power, I think it's
the best already. The only thing I've done is add a flowmaster 40 muffler
to the thing, I love that sound.

well if you have money to give away for those "go fast" items, just send me
a money order for what they total and I'll send you a nice new roll of
aluminium foil that you can use to "chrome" things on your TJ like your door
handles, gas cap, mirrors, even your bumpers can be done (for this the cost
will double as I will have to send you the jumbo roll).

Re: Disconnecting swaybar, K&N filter question, engine mod questions
 

me guesses if you wanted horsepower, you should-a bought a mustang ?((hehe))
I sold my cobra for my Rubi and I lovin' it !
seriously though;

- not sure on the brake lines.

- K&N makes a difference where more air is going to make slightly more HP,
like my old cobra but just how many horsies are we gonna gain from allowin'
more air in to a 6 banger ? eh.. secondly, I think for the nearly nothing
gain on a K&N upgrade, I would be more worried about getting muddin' & stuff
in the engine.

Yes, there is a chance of that. You can get extended lines for less than
$100.

I don't like mud too much, but I know the K&N filters are reusable.

Headers are not crap - they will add HP along with better air flow from the
k&n. I would not buy a tb spacer - they are crap! Don't know about the
chip...

> Is there anything simple or cheap

Not on a jeep.
