I got this jeep when I moved upstate. I wanted the 4WD for
the heavy snows we get here. I guess that’s what they meant by “Snow Belt”. My
first improvement was to replace the stock tires with ProTrac Mudders. Then the
carb was acting funny so I designed this diagnostic interface to help trouble
shoot the onboard computer. After three months It was better BUT I was happy so
I made a custom adapter place and put on a Holley 500CFM 2BBL. That help a lot
but the exhaust left plenty to be desired. I swapped in a high flow monolithic
cat, a turbo muffler, and some side pipes. Much better. After a year I pulled
the muffler. The side pipes have their own muffler cores. Runs really good now
except the axles couldn’t take it. I blew a front U-Joint but only after I spun
one of the rear axles after shearing its key. I quickly installed one piece
forged rear axles. So what’s next ? I’ve collected most of the parts from a
Chevy S10 4.3L TBI Injection setup. I plan to swap this in soon.
