Technical Stuff

In the few years that I've been into Jeeping I've learnt the hard way that most mechanics are only capable of simply replacing one part for another.  If you want anything non standard doing then you take your wallet in hand and pay big bucks for their learning curve.  In an attempt to build the ultimate Jeep for my needs I've used the net extensively to find out what works and what doesn't.  I've been lucky in that I was able to utilize some professional search tools to find the good stuff.  In fact I've gathered so much stuff that I've started to created this reference section.  I make no excuses very little is my own work, all I've done is sorted it into some form of order in a central place.  Where I've got a source I've acknowledge the author however if you object or come across your own work without the acknowledgement let me know.

	Off-Again's Navajo booster This kit for YJ & TJ converts the brakes into rear show stoppers - how they should have been from the factory.  This write up is by Ron Hollatz on his YJ 'Project Money Pit' but believe me - this is by far the best modification I've ever made to ANY vehicle!
	Saginaw Power Steering pump modifications This conversion provides increased pump assist during low-speed/high torque maneuvers so common in off-road situations. (ie: idling, steep downhill's, navigating boulder fields, etc.)
