That must have been a rough riding SOB with no springs in the rear.

If you are trolling, you have been successful...

*Sigh*

Dude, do whatever you want with the Jeep. Don't listen to the people on this board - they apply way too much pressure to conform to some sort of pre-fabricated philosophy that the Jeep company itself breaches every few years.

Good luck!

Not a threat, just saying, bad stuff happens...

Although a lowered JK could be used for driving practice... OVER IT!!!!!!
That's a great movie - but don't "curb" him! Then again, because they're considered mythical creatures (:toung I don't think Trolls are protected by our legal system. So, I don't know if there'd be any penalty... :confused:

Oh well, it does give an idea where everyone stands and how compassionate we are about our Jeeps..

Right - would I get the same impassioned responses if I went on an H3 forum and asked if it was possible to make one off-road worthy, to match a Jeep?

Wow! 4 pages of responses I just checked back on the forum this morning
nah guys im not a troll, actually pretty well known on the dodge forums
I just wanted to do something a little bit different this time around since my first car was a Jeep, I always wanted another one

sorry if I offended you Jeep guys, to be honest I dont care to be bashed. I've been working on cars since I was a young kid and apart of a lot of these forums, if anyone does something different they get hated on...but with my style of driving, I will end up flipping one of these cars over. Its a very practical car for everyday in the city if you think about it for those of you who live in Manhattan maybe you can relate to this one.

I started drag racing my truck back when I was 17 and have been involved in racing ever since. Not much off roading in the city unless you drive in the bronx, some of those roads will kill a regular car within a few months of driving through them.

So guys enjoy bashing, its all right. Just wanted a simple question answered. If you can't answer it, dont worry about it, I'll figure it out sooner or later.
But don't be surprised if you see a lowered turbo Jeep driving around NY next year, you'll get a good laugh out of it.

Here are a few of my last projects
The neon should be around 650fwhp by the end of the month at 36psi with a full race motor setup

This is my second 2000 Dodge Dakota R/T might of seen it featured in a few Carlisle Shows

This is my old '91 VW GTI 16V with 12:1 Compression 2.1 Liter Motor

My current 2zz Turbo 2000 MR-2 Spyder project

Lastly what I drive with everyday in the city to work, which is what im getting rid of for the Jeep

Default Serious response!

Snake, We had the same response with the guy asking about the 20s on the Wrangler. If you want to lower the JK, I am guessing you will probably have to use the old fashioned torch to cut the coils and get some shorter shocks or airbag it. I doubt very seriously that any manufacturer will mass produce any lowering kits for a JK since there is really no market for it, as you can see by the 5 pages of posts. Everyone is entitled to their own tastes and if you have the money, go for it. I would like to see a turbo or supercharger for the 3.8. If you can do that I would like to see that! I could use about another 100 hp!
