You must have scared the day lights out of everyone on that hill climb. When you crested the top , the jeep was almost vertical . It was practically standing on its rear bumper ! That was awesome ! You are so temping me to get a set of ND's for my '73 CJ5 when I complete its restoration . Still...

An absolute marvel of engineering . Done very tastefully in a BMW . Got to love that .

I totally agree with the t-case flush . Just to be safe that there I s no water contamination and it's just good maintenance . It's very like the slip yoke splines may be worn so replacement may be necessary. Another possibility is the extension housing or tail shaft housing bushing may be worn...

It's a jeep thing , I knew you'd understand !

I'm a bit rough on later models and didn't know the TCM is integral with the PCM . That would make it easy to diagnose with a scan tool , I would say since a TCM must be diagnosed manually and only the drivetrain functions such as solenoids are seen through a scan tool if the scan tool is...

I'll admit , it's flashy and cool but I'm not a big chrome guy either. It just makes it look like a trailer queen . You couldn't take it out to a gravel parking lot much less off road . But if one's got the $$ , it would be a nice addition to the fleet !

Given the fact that you love your jeep so much , the excellent shape it appears to be in and all of the work done thus far , I really feel you'll regret selling it . If money isn't such a problem with regards to investing in tools and related items for maintenance purposes , that's status quo ...

I agree as a first step is to flush the trans fluid and change the filter . Check the throttle valve cable for proper adjustment . Check,the fuse box for any fuses and relays associated with the trans since it uses a TCM ( transmission control unit ) too. It's an overdrive electronically...

Just want to say your off to a good start already ! A YJ wrangler with a 360 of the AMC era ! I got two AMC jeeps , a 1973 and a 1980 . Both CJ5's. Don't worry , you'll get to understand a RENIX era jeep . Research RENIX and you'll see that was the predecessor to Chrysler jeeps of today . No way...

Welcome to jeepz.com X2 ! Great to have female members . Never doubt your ability , just give yourself the chance the chance to understand how something works . I personally love when a woman isn't afraid to take on her own work , just don't want her to get hurt the way I've gotten over the...

Sorry to hear of the passing of your dad . If you decide to take on the master cylinder replacement , your welcome to post back for advice. The new/rebuilt unit should come with bench b,Eder hoses and instructions . I believe you'll have no trouble with it. Only drag is you'll have to re-bleed...

Thanks ! I just knew that folks there would still be wheeling CJ's since they were always popular across the world. I know I'm not the only CJ fanatic in the world , the planet is full of them ! This is great to hear . I do however want to say how I appreciate the jeeps and trucks your club is...

Re-reading your post raises a question ; the brake line replacement. although this likely didn't occur , did the master cylinder run dry at any time ? i ask because if no one was aware this occurred , there may be air trapped in the master cylinder bore chamber and causing the same effects as...

Welcome to jeepz.com . If your confident that the entire system is properly bled and no air exists in any line from fromt to rear , it may be time for master cylinder replacement. Even if there is no sign of a leak from the master cylinder's rear seal where it mounts to the power booster or...

I totally agree . A hydraulic slave is an asset on a jeep . Although I like mechanical linkage ( I'm just old school) , a hydraulic system prevents binding of the linkage when there is movement between the body and chassis. Whether it be a soft body mount or just body/chassis flex , the...

That is great to hear ! Glad we were able to offer advice that was helpful to the repair and ever happier your able to drive the jeep once again after the initial purchase and restoration . Sorry that the PO wasn't forthcoming but at least you've got a jeep that is now dependable . The greatest...

Beer , it's not just for drinking anymore. It would seem that there are properties found in it that serve more than just as a beverage ? Will have to conduct some conclusive experiments this weekend . May take more than a few just to be sure the results are accurate . :drunk:

Your most welcome aamir ! Photos of you guys enjoying beautiful country surroundings and vast landscape are wonderful to see. Just beautiful . What a gift from God as your country is blessed . Was just wondering if the CJ5 and CJ7 are still popular in your region ? I know that at one time they...

There should be a round access cover with two screws on the floor board near the accelerator pedal. Your 1961 should have the floor board clutch and brake pedals as my 1973 has the suspended pedal set up but both will have that access plate . My master cylinder is firewall mounted but your...

So many wonderful pictures of you guys enjoying the summer off road ! Glad you all had a great summer . Mine could have been better . My plans were to begin the restoration of my 1973 jeep CJ5 and my 1980 CJ5 to follow. That was put on hold citing financial reasons . Working at clearing...
