Any Jeepers in here?

I saw one once that was a pistol grip. I can't remember where, though. It looked great.

I thought about putting a standard A2 grip on mine, but I feel like it would be kinda awkward.

I may just end up with a Hurst T-shifter

However, I have a ball of stellite that could be millled and engraved to make something cool

I just bought a jeep this past winter on my vacation to florida, its 97 grand cherokee laredo. The only reason I bought it is because its in great shape and it was a good price. I was going to leave it stock but I've changed my plans. I dont know much about jeeps at all and was hoping some of you could help. I want to lift it in the next few weeks, does anyone know how much lift I would need to clear 35s? Also if anybody has any aftermarket parts that will fit it and would like to sell let me know. thanks

I finally got my jeep out to test my new lift. My mom got me a Tachyon HD video camera and I mounted it in my jeep to record the ride. I did a little video editing to show you all how it went. (sorry if it doesnt work, this is my first attempt at video editing/posting)

Edit: if you click the picture it will take you to my photobucket account so you can watch it.

A friend of mine has a grenade for his t-case shift knob. It's sweet.

I think Quadratec has those.

Most gun shows have dummy grenades you pick up for cheap. They have a hole drilled in the bottom that slips right onto your stick. I used to have one on my old F150.

I am thinking about this for sure.
Will I have to take it and have it threaded?

I used one for years. I drilled and tapped the side. Eventually I unscrewed the "fuse" off and used the body as a shift knob. It was a lot more comfortable to use this way. Now I'm just running the original knob from a '47 CJ2A.

I didnt thread mine. I just jammed down on the stick and it stayed good. The hole is in the bottom so it stands up instead of on the side.

 

[tr1gg3r]

Personally I would want it threaded and jam-nutted, but that's just me. Of course, I also have access to decent taps, so that probably plays into my feelings some.

I want one for my ZJ's automatic, maybe compress the latch to use it like the button/safety switch.

Or can I just defeat the safety switch?

Off to some Jeep forums to look (although I've been to some on others and the folks there usually wrong on basic stuff- not too good some of the bigger name forums).

I would go to rough country's website and see what it says. I would say at least 5.5 inches, if not more. You are going to be talking 2,000 in parts and tires doing it correctly.

 

[Hookeye]

If it has a D35 rear you probably ought to change that (with 33's, let alone 35's).

I drive a Jeep Recovery vehicle, does that count as a Jeeper?

 

[Hookeye]

You can call your Sportage whatever you want

Anyone know the legality of mounting my 1919a4 to my jeep?

He probably drives a Hummer and thinks he can go anywhere and to save face, he just reversed it since Jeeps are hummer Recovery vehicle.

Nope I'm a nice big friendly ford bronco

When you say big bronco I'm guessing you don't mean the late 60s bronco? I'd say I'm jealous if so.

But any other body style bronco, I'll pass.
