    456000 Ahahahahahahah !!! The other day I was driving along in my CJ when I came to a 4 way stop sign. Across from me, a new wrangler rolled to a stop with a pretty girl behind the wheel. I had just yanked the top off mine and the day was a warm one, but, she had her doors off, but the top...

    458000 What i hate is new TJ's with the hardtop come hard doors. They take the top off but leave the hard doors with the window frames on them it makes the TJ look funny. I don't understand why it seems SOOOO difficult for TJ owners to relocate the mirrors to the windshield brackets like the...

    CJ7 tops

    480000 There are 2 bows. The forward one goes straight up, that one will work, but the rearward one goes rearward. The CJ7 to 10" longer than the CJ5 so I'm sure this bow will be too short. Or course if you are handy, you could go to Home Depot, buy a 10" length of 1/2" EMT electrical tubing...

    Buying a new jeep which options should i get?

    485000 Yes, by all means get the SPORT. It'll give you the 4.0L 6. I've heard tell thats a lethal amount of power for a Wrangler. I had the 4.0L in a 98 Cherokee and we pulled a 5,000 pound RV trailer up & down California. It made some pretty serious upgrades too. There is an option for 30"...

    Fuel

    495000 My 77 7 304 has a fuel return line. You didn't connect your pump suction to this line my accident did you ? Any way you may be outta gas ? Fuel does evaporate when standing for a long time. Could your e pump be bad outta the box ? it does happen. You didn't connect the hoses backwards...

    Fuel

    498000 10-4. My fuel system is designed to be sucked from the front, so trying to push fuel that far might be the problem.

    No Doors Illegal?

    502000 Yeah, I thought about that when i bought me first CJ years ago. I found that CJ's were classified as trucks which do not require the same stict safety requirements passenger cars do, i/e that hugh iron I beam in the doors of all passenger cars. All Wranglers YJ & TJ both have doors...

    What year? Which Jeep?

    515000 If you intend to do some hard trail running you don't want one that's too new or pretty. FI is more efficient, but, keep in mind if it fails 40 miles off the blacktop... Older carb systems are easily patched on the trail and some guys actually carry a spare fuel pump & carb which do...

    how do I identify my engine

    520000 HOTROD< Sound great, except.....304 heads on a 390 ? Does the 304 heads have large enough valves & ports for the 390 breath like it should ? My 304 is a boat anchor @ 11mpg highway & 4.5mpg 4X lowrange. I've been thinking of a GM 350... My wife's '98 Chickaree with 4.0L blows my...

    Man. VS. Auto hubs ???

    531000 I'm not sure if the current auto hubs work like the early auto's did but here's what they used to do : The early auto hub used to work like a ratchet wrench, lock in the forward direction only. Which is usually ok, but.... When I am working sloppy stuff i ease my jeep gently forward so...

    Electrical problems

    534000 Yes, Yes there is. A few weeks ago i watched the CRANK & CHROME SHOP on TNN do just that to an early 80's CJ. They bought a sweet kit which contained EVERYTHING !!! it had the correct connectors which pluged right into the switches and heater and ign and all. The kit goes for about...

    1977 CJ7 304 overheating

    536000 I'll have to go look at my 77 7 304 to get those numbers for you. My 304 does not have a fan clutch. I thought that odd and thought about buying one. Before i did tho, I kept wondering why it did not. I've also wondered why the rear axle has grease wheel bearings instead of oil. It...

    1977 CJ7 304 overheating

    537000 OK, My 77 '7's fan measures 18 1/2" tip to tip. It is a steel flex fan with NO clutch, hard mounted to the pulley. My radiator has 3 rows of tubes in it. I replaced my radiator a few years ago and I bought a brand new one. I remeber the parts man asking : You got AC ? HELL Yeah...

    Soft Top and Doors

    553000 Yeah, that's a problem with an open vehicle. You can't leave anything in it. I have found you need to conceal everything. I bought a backseat which has a lockbox underneath and provided alot of space for stuff. I built a center console which has my stereo & cb concealed in a lockable...

    modifications

    564000 31" is the usual max size. If you have a YJ your in luck. The leaf spring lift kits are the cheapest. My RANCHO 3.5" kit cost me $336.00 some years ago. I think they're still there about. If you have a TJ....OUCH! The cheapest lift kit I have seen for a TJ is a 2" kit for $550 But most...

    577000 You need to service E V E R Y T H I N G !!! You have no way of knowing when or even if anything has E V E R been serviced. So you need to service everything & keep a record. >Buy a service manual. >Change engine oil & filter >Replace all filters (air/pvc/fuel) >Change front & rear...
