    what's the perfect CJ7?

    1042452 Yeah, exactly what Berettajeep mentioned! With ARB's front & rear. Now, the cost of your planned restoration. Can't be for told. Too many variables to think about. Mainly, what shape the vehicle you start with will determine aproxmatly how much your going to need coin wise. If you...

    powertank, scuba-tank, air compressor...???

    1042454 Well, I have an on-board system, (using a saden style A/C pump) it wasn't hard to install. and it works great! has for some 15 yrs now. I've seen the Power-tank in operation, it worked killer to. Only thing about the power tank is that it freezes the delivery line right at the...

    1980 cj-7 258 cu. in. engine all original

    1043470 Plain and simlpy NO! For mild wheeling, your CJ will do just fine stock. When you get into the "Hardcore" stuff then you can think about dumping the coins for lockers. I know, everyones defination of hardcore is different, I define hardcore as anything that looks inpassable! Huge...

    83 CJ7 Quit running on highway

    1043471 No spark= no juice to coil. The coils function is to amplify battery voltage up to 25,000 to 40,000 volts. (somewhere in between) The disribuator's function is to distribuate the spark energy from the coil to each of the spark plugs. It does that through the dist. cap, rotor and...

    FULL FLOATING DIFFERENTIAL

    1043472 Jizeep you've got the terms confused. Full floating axle is the correct term, the differential or carrier is what the axle shafts slip into,recieve power from. A full floater, will prevent the wheel from fall off the vehicle if/when the axle shaft breaks. Held on by the bearing...

    powertank, scuba-tank, air compressor...???

    1043473 My on-board system runs air tools better than my home 3.5hp craftsman air compressor! Yes, at 150psi I have no problems seating blown beads! RayOvac, for a pressure switch, try Extream outback products for one if you can't locate one locally. The compressor my jeep has is rated to...

    Spring Over Lift

    1043474 That's basically what's involved. You might have to lengthen the rear, and shorten the front drive lines. Also, you'll have to deal with steering geometries. New pitman arm. I've considered doing that swap on my CJ-5, but havn't yet, ( I haven't ruled it out) The sway bar being...

    I feel dumb for asking, but how do I .....

    1059287 Only thing I'd add to Brokejeep's procedure is to start with the wheel that's farthest from the master cylinder. The chiltions or haynes may state this. You might look into getting one of the "hand Pump" vacuum bleeder systems. They make bleeding the lines so much easier...

    converting a.c. pump

    1059293 I've done it. Probably 18yrs ago now! Still using it! :-D Still runs & operates great! While wheeling up in elevation, the pop-off valve (set at 150psi) occasionally blows off excess pressure due to elevation changes. First couple times, scares some stuff into my shorts! Big...

    Locking rear differential

    1059295 For those who don't have lockers and want them, this is all good. But, don't expect that a locker alone in the rear will prevent you from gettin REALLY stuck again! Sure, a locker will help you get through some stuff that you'd get stuck in/on with an open, but locker can and will...

    Clear diff covers

    1059296 I've seen first hand what granite can do to differential covers! How bad rocks can tear up, rip holes into them! Steel covers can be "pounded" out and welded shut if needed. These clear covers, you smack them hard enough, you migh not be able to seal them up. Go through some deep...

    temperture sending unit

    1059606 If you choose to get a new temp sending unit, be sure to bring your old one in to verify the new sending unit's length. The mounting hole for the sending unit is very shallow, and some sending unit have a longer shaft than the stock one. You might not be able to screw it in. edited...

    Air compressors

    1059612 Oh yea, it's been done. Many a posts about it. I did mine up almost 15yrs ago. You can get A/C pump brackest from junk yards, from jeep vehicles that had A/C they'll bolt right up to the block over the alternator. Or you can get complete kits from a few different places. The kits...

    Speedometer Cable

    1059614 Is it not connected now? If not, why? There is only ONE place the speedo cable can connect to on the transmission. You may have to drop the skid plate to find the conenction point. On my T-18 the speedo conenction is on the left side. [addsig]
