    2001 Jeep Cherokee (Pics) trade for Turbo Buick?

    Been several years since I sold my Grand Nationals, starting to get that itch again ;) . I've decided to let the Cherokee go. I also have a new 4 door Rubicon and just don't need 2 lifted Jeeps. This is the wife's driver and has never been offroad (I use the Ruby for that :) ). I'll sell...

    Where is a good place to sell my GN?

    Sold one GN and now I'm selling the other. Where's a good place to advertise it? I've got it listed on here (but everyone here already has a GN :) ). It will be coming out in the Autotrader magazine on the 11th as well as the web site. I put it on the V8buick board too. Anywhere else on...

    Do I need 009 injectors?

    I'm currently running 009's, that were on the car when we got it. I'm thinking that it doesn't need that big of an injector. The car has a 44 turbo, stock intercooler and all of your other basic bolt ons (Houstin DP, ATR exhaust, 340 fuel pump with hotwire, alcohol injection, Vigilante...

    Fuel Pressure jumping around!

    I finally got it fixed!!!!!!!!!!!! :D I've fought this problem for over 3 years! It was the return line to the tank. I had previously blew the line out with air, and the air made it through, but I guess it has a partial blockage that slowed the gas down. I started with a 90deg fitting on...

    Rare 86 GN I saw?

    Oh yeah, my bumper fillers are falling out as we speak ;) ! I haven't had much luck with Weld wheels. I had one set that warped easily and the replacement ones cracked around the lug holes. If I buy wheels now, I go with Centerlines' billet series. The Drag Stars came on another car I...

    Rare 86 GN I saw?

    Vendor Defendor, Our cars are almost twins :eek: ! Mine doesn't have cruise, rear defrost, powers seats, remote passenger mirrow, or posi. But it does have T-tops :mad: . I'm even running the same wheels as yours.

    Speaking of cellphones....Nextel anyone?

    I've had mine for 2-3 years now and love it. It's not the best cell phone in the world, but the direct connect makes up for it. I've traveled with mine quite a bit, and as long as your around a big city your fine. When you get out in the rural areas, you have signal trouble. The guys at work...

    ? for those of you with roll cage in a T-top car

    Wasn't sure what forum this would best fit in, so I thought I'd try here first. My GN is a T-top car and I can't stand them! Lots of road noise, rattles, leaks, whistles, etc. I've added all of the extra braces, which helped greatly, but the problems are still there. I've even went so far as...

    Getting rid of T-tops, roof graft

    Thanks John, I though of the warpage possibilities but thought that the extra bracing in the roof where it stops for the t-tops would help greatly with this. I had the headliner out years ago, but don't remember what the brace structure looked like underneath.

    Getting rid of T-tops, roof graft

    T-tops suck! I've added all the braces, which help, but the body still twists around too much, rattle, leak, whistle, etc. I'd like to get rid of them all together. I've talked to a couple of body shops about cutting the whole roof off and spicing on one off of a hard top regal, since the car...

    Emergency lights on a GN?

    Anybody running emergency lights on a Turbo car? I'm with the Volunteer Fire Dept. and we are allowed to run lights and siren on our personal cars. I've been running them on my various Jeeps the last couple of years, but this latest Jeep I built was a little too extreme and the Chief frowned...

    New wheels installed- pics inside!!

    The new wheels look great! :cool: But I agree, you definately need to lower it some, to match the wheels. I've lowered my muscle cars about every way possible, so here are a few methods: Cheap; Take a torch to all for coil springs, while still on the car and fatigue them with the heat...
