Terry- I found out from the guy I bought the jeep from he got the wheels at The Tire Factory about 4 years ago. I searched their web site and think I found the right ones; it is a little hard to tell with the reflection in the picture. I can go to the local TF around here and check if you...

I've had this kicking around for a few years; may not be exact but should work.

Unfortunately I did not get a matching spare but I only paid $5,200 for the jeep. In the Northwest that is a smoking deal so I guess I can't complain about the spare. The jeep was filthy on the inside though; it came back pretty much with a lot of elbow grease. It has been a few years since I...

Terry- The center caps say American Racing. I'll call the guy I got the jeep from as he may know, however I think Les Schwab Tire Centers out here in the west carried them last I knew. These are 16" rims on my jeep. How do you get the window crank handle off. Is there a screw or does it just...

The ability of the drivetrain to pull weight forward (and stop ) is one thing but tongue weight is another issue that can’t be ignored either. Depending upon the lift the capacity could be less, more, or the same. Driving down the road on the axel stops is precarious at best. Also consider the...

Here is a picture of my new-to-me toy I just picked up. 1999, 4.0, auto, 112K. I also picked up full hard doors (not shown) but need to do some adjustments to get them to close. (sagging to low at the strike) I tried to loosen the hinge screws but not much luck; stripped one, loosened one, and...

Hopefully it will be fixed by only the alignment but don't be supprised if you have a few bent parts that need to be replaced too depending upon how hard the tap was.

I think Sheppard10 might be talking about heat from the CAT that could wreck the liner on the floor over time if it can't take the heat.

Round head lights and coils springs = 1997 to 2006 (TJ) Square head lights and leaf springs = 1987 to 1995 (YJ)

Its the Weber. This is from the been-there-done-that department.

I agree, it must be a lunch box locker you have. I have Lock Rights and quite frankly they can be scary in CJ5 causing the jeep to hop, skip, jump, & clank as you go down the road. One characteristic of the lunch box too is when you have the power on it will resist turning on asphalt to the...

The easiest swap to get a 4 speed in a stock 1973 CJ would be a T18, either CJ or the Ford version, as it was a factory option between 1972 to 1979. Try these links: http://www.jeeptech.com/convtrans/cjt18/ http://www.jeeptech.com/convtrans/fordt18/index.html http://www.jeeptech.com/trans/t18.html

Not sure if you have one but the canister it’s self could be bad, saturated or cracked, even if the hoses are all good and connected they can smell.

Normally I would agree with the leaking coming from the top driver’s side hoses of the tank; I have found that just tightening up the claps will do most of the time without having to drop the tank; but if you can smell gas as you go down the road I would think it is coming from the front. I...

Gees Mickey, those things looks like they should drive themselves! Look good though.

I’d go back to the mechanical pump, don’t know why it would have been changed but I guess we don’t have to understand what a PO was thinking. It might be good to redo the whole fuel line system while you are at it including dropping the tank and checking the pickup and filter. Before I...

YJ half doors are pretty easy to come by as most guys are trading those off for full doors if they can find them. Try Craig’s List and your local bone yard.

Just a thought, but maybe some of your fuel problems are related to the electric pump. Is there an accident/rollover kill switch attached to that thing?

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending upon your point of view) your son has been bit with the jeep bug and most likely will forever be inflicted with the malady. There is no real treatment short of feeding the beast with what it craves, jeeps and jeep parts; not even a 12 step program will be...
