1041806 Can't answer the TJ part of the question. Sorry. There are some aftermarket gauges available from Quadratech or 4 wheel drive hardware. They are LED electronic items. Look kinda cool in a different sort of way . Have thought about switching to these myself as the speedometer can...

1041807 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The old saying goes that Jeeps are built not bought. Anyone asks, tell them you have a fund set up to buy 33" tires and would they like to contribute . It all takes time and money. Go ahead and spend it we'll make more. Either way enjoy your...

1041808 Had a chance to look at this CJ-5 (not a CJ-7 like I was told) this weekend. Body is in great shape. Has a 2" body lift, 4" suspension lift, Black Jack headers on an AMC 304. Carb is a Holly that has had a backfire go through it (does this trash it to the replacement point or can it...

1041837 Jack at Christmas is a great idea. Depending on the size tires you go with the factory "jack" may not help you if a tire needs changed. As for offroad, AAA doesn't make towing calls to the middle of a mudpit . Depending on who you wheel with (always a good idea do wheel as a...

1041838 We don't have emissions testing in midwest farmfields unless it is for cows . The title is clear and this is a go . Once I have the beast and sort things out I'll fill you in...stay tuned . Owner says 500 cfm Holley experienced a backfire. He is under the impression the carb...

1041868 Officially newer waves first to older. Same age, less mods goes first. My thought is at 55-65 mph going opposite directions makes for a net speed approaching 110-130 mph. Do you have time to figure all this out in the couple of seconds after you figure out it is a short wheelbase ...

1041869 Unh unh. Wifey's birthday is 21st and if I forget that she will have my Jeep. She thinks the statement "It's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand" fits me just fine Think of us poor Jeepers not in attendance while you are drooling. D [addsig]

1041879 Had to get it done...it's my only ride to work Amazing what can be accomplished when the pressure is on. Any idea why the PCV valve keeps popping out of the valve cover Do I need to try a new grommet? TIA for any suggestions. D [addsig]

57000 After running my I-6 for 2 years in all sorts of conditions, I have decided I need more torque for the move to 35's I want to make. The plan is to build a 350 chevy motor with horsepower output between 300 and 350. My question is what are the limiting factors in the drivetrain going to...

124000 This is slightly off topic but related to a degree. Terry and Shaun this is mostly for you I guess (no offense intended to other computer guru's). I have tried to include a Smiles figure in my sig. file with no luck in the smile showing up. How do you manage this Shaun? Inquiring...

178000 I posted a question for an opinion of a V-8 engine transplant and had no replies. I am assuming the silence says "bad idea". At any rate, I think I have decided to stay with the I-6 and make some changes during rebuild. I am looking for streetability and low end grunt. A cam change...

851000 Terry, A suggestion for a possible tech article. Onboard air using a York compressor. There are good references on Offroad.com for this and I am considering this upgrade this summer. Let me know what you think. Anyone else interested in any other topics? ------------------ Deny...

1041712 I have a lead on a '77 CJ-7, 304, 3-spd, lifted, larger tires that supposedly had some sort of frame off resto performed. Problems I know of at present are a "sputter" in the engine (not too worried about that) and a spun rear axle. Question I have is how bad is replacing the rear...

1041870 Had the pleasure of spending several fun filled hours this past weekend cahnging a head gasket on my '81 CJ-7. Learned a few things in the process. 1. The engineers at AMC were saddists. It took 30 minutes, 6" of extension, a swivel attachment, and mucho patience (not always my...
