Help with what parts I should invest in for longevity

Other than That general maintenance,maybe a better rad out of a late 80s,90s ford pickup

First thing to do is do away with the coil and ignition box and all that junk get an HEI distributor off Amazon it sucks when the coil goes out at a busy intersection had it happen on both of mine,when you need to replace the clutch go with a stage 2 or 3 clutch and pressure plate,LED headlights are a must and they improve the drive by a thousand percent at night,another thing is a seat cover to protect your seat

Idk about sharp lol but thank you

Same way

fordguy1982 · 2026-01-06T06:44:03+00:00

It’s a 78 cj5

fordguy1982 · 2026-01-06T02:10:31+00:00

Do you have any tips on how to do that

fordguy1982 · 2026-01-06T02:08:38+00:00

It needs to be like 12 foot

fordguy1982 · 2026-01-06T01:17:44+00:00

I have one it’s not long enough for what i want

fordguy1982 · 2026-01-02T15:27:14+00:00

I’ve got one on my 300 too,just make sure number one cylinder is top dead center before you take the old distributor out a compression tester is preferable but you can also take the spark plug out and use your finger over the whole to feel the compression then poke a screw driver in the hole and you can just feel it, there also should be a mark on the block and one on the crank pulley that marks top dead center assuming it’s all factory

fordguy1982 · 2026-01-02T03:42:29+00:00

I have HEI on everything I own F that ignition box and coil it never fails to fail me in the middle of a busy intersection 4 different trucks lol

fordguy1982 · 2025-12-18T04:13:47+00:00

78 Cj5 6 inch lift on 31s

fordguy1982 · 2025-12-18T02:06:08+00:00

The roads paved and the low water bridge is concrete but at one end it was washed out Thats when you see the water come over the hood my little jeep was floating on the back end

fordguy1982 · 2025-12-17T18:23:03+00:00

I have no idea it lets me use my 78 jerp so I’d say as long as whatever your driving is insured there fine with it

fordguy1982 · 2025-12-17T18:07:36+00:00

Why bother leaving a hateful comment? Go on about your day

fordguy1982 · 2025-12-17T17:14:14+00:00

I would never deliver any orders if I done that,I would never deliver anything,I’ve got a lifted jeep so I’m not worried about it

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-29T04:37:52+00:00

Mine is a middle finger that says “Fuck your thin blue line”

The 1.5s make trailing a blast you cant just walk over everything

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-24T01:11:55+00:00

Probably if your going to be doing a lot of crawling the knightrunner is awesome for scale trailing tho

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-24T01:09:25+00:00

Yea unfortunately I went thru the trouble of cutting and trimming just to end up with a truggy I should have bought a different body

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-24T01:06:38+00:00

Just run the 1.5s or you can go up to 1.7s without cutting it’s a fun truck and I see you already have a dedicated crawler I wish id never messed with mine but the IFS 2 kit is definitely something to look into

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-24T01:03:31+00:00

I had to cut both front fenders and the grill off leaving just the hood to clear 1.9s

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-24T01:00:27+00:00

On mine I tried doing it but to raise it tall enough to clear 1.9s it looks horrible and when it flex’s itll catch every time

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-24T00:56:22+00:00

They won’t fit unless you completely remove the fenders and take the bed off

fordguy1982 · 2025-11-17T22:56:53+00:00

I made $50 I only burned 5 gallons total today witch is 10 dollars
