so because of idea changes ill give first notice to this forum before I post it on other ones and craigslist. I am selling my s/c setup this would include the vortech v1 unit, the 3.33 pulley it came with, the 2.5 pulley I bought, oil and return lines, the 6 rib belt I had on it, idler pulley, custom bracket to fit 4.0L, and 42lb injectors. all you would have to do is remove your a/c and bracket get some electric fans and bolt this up, tighten the belt, install injectors, and just figure out the piping. (I would recommend a intercooler) get a tune and you have about 80hp-80ftlb more at 5 psi. only problem is I was having some belt slip under high rpms and this unit is really only good to about 8psi. I just want a lot more power otherwise this setup has been great drove over 1500 miles on the power tour with it. im asking for $1600 +shipping. vortech units are 2000+ new, not to mention all the custom stuff to put it on your 4.0 is right here

alright not selling my setup anymore. decided to perfect it, so new pics soon. currently getting all new suspension front and rear, cobra lsd, bigger wj brakes, removing abs, adjustable proportioning valve, relocating battery, separating s/c belt, intercooler, cleaning up wire harness a little and I haven't touched them since high school (9 years) but all new kicker speaker and a nice 10in pioneer built into the back wall. no more stupid big sub box...... I must be getting older lol

If you search for a post I did on NAXJA I give part numbers for a basically bolt in prop valve to replace the stock combo valve.

I saw one of those sub boxes that go in the right rear fender for sale recently and I was going to buy it.. but then I forgot that I have air pumps there.

ya its kinda nice and its for a 10", that plastic pod they make is only available in 8". I actually already ordered a nice adjustable one from summit. once I get these stupid control arm and leaf bolts out things will start going faster. I have never removed the bolts that go into the frame on those so at 216k mi they are rusted in the bushing sleeve.
