Just wondering how many people on the forum own CJ?

I'm working on a an '81 Scrambler that is pretty rusty. Needs cab floors, bed floors and a patch here and there. Probably wasn't worth saving but I got it cheap and weighed it out vs what they want for one that's been poorly patched I thought I'd build it so I knew what I had. Well I know my...

I know this is a great place for Jeep info an I know it's off topic but I was wondering if I could get some help with trouble shooting a problem with my sons '99 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4? There are times he can be driving it and the engine will just die. Almost as if you turned the key off. It...

I've got a set of chrome CJ Laredo wheels that were cleared from the factory and it's all cracked, turned white and flaking off. I took some thinner to a spot or two and under the clear the chrome looks new. It takes some rubbing and soaking with the thinner but it works. If anyone has done this...

I've found a Ford bulldog 4speed trans from a late 80's 4X4 truck that can be had pretty cheap. It's behind a 300-6 at the moment. Would this work and bolt up to a 304? If so is it a pretty strait forward swap?

My new scrambler.

I bought anthor Scrambler, it's an 82 one owner that's pretty close to the way it came. I will take and post pics soon, been kinda crazy getting Christmas stuff done an so forth. Anyway I noticed the inside door handles are missing the cover that go around it, I thought no big deal I've got at...

OK...It's like this see... all the leaks that my good ole AMC 304 had were getting on my nerves. So I bought a bunch of gaskets (timing cover, front and rear seal pan gasket and a few others and I spent some quality time under my Jeep. I think I got it sealed up pretty good. Whilest I had the...

What is the best way to rust proof a frame? I'm talking POR15, Chassis Saver, Magneticly charged particals,Epoxy Primer/Paint, undercoating, Bacon Grease, Voodoo? Opinions, notions, suggestions, lessions and guesses will be appreciated. Will soon be working on my Scrambler frame. Tryn to get the...

A friend just bought an '05 Rubicon with the 6 speed trans. He was showing me yesterday how it was kinda hard to get it to go in reverse. I drove it and tried it myself, it feels like it's in but when you ease the clutch out it'll grind like you didn't push the shifter back far enough. It done...

My Jeep reminds me of an unappreciative teenager. I drug this thing home, raised it up from a cast off heep and what thanks do I get? A leaking wheel cyl! Now I know your thinking why all the fuss. But everything in the brake system is new except the booster as of 4 months ago ( lines and all)...

My son is going to look at a Comanchie this weekend. It's a friend of a friend kind of thing. He's needing something cheap to drive and this one is at least priced right. ($500). I was really hopeing it was the 4.0 but it's not, It's a 2.8. I've had friends that have had G.M 2.8's in the past...

A while back I picked up a couple of bags of concrete mix at lowes thru them in the back of the Jeep. On the way home I couldn't help but notice how much better it rode. Mine has an old leaf spring lift that just seems way too stiff. Anyway today at work we were cleaning up and I found a Scrap...

I put a new CD player in my Jeep when I first got it on the road a couple years ago. It worked great for a while, then the volume knob wouldn't work at times. Then back in the summer it started blowing fuses to the radio. Finally it laid down for good. I run mine with just a bikini top all...

About a month ago I bought an Auto Zone brake caliper for my '79 CJ5. I had considered rebuilding the one I had but everybody I mentioned it to including the guy at the parts counter seemed to want to talk me out of it. Everybody seemed to have the same opinion, "you can buy one for a little...

My buddy is taking the lift out of his CJ5 and dropping back to stock springs. He's just bought a set of 32x11.50's and is hoping they will still work with the stock springs. They're mounted on 8" wheels. I'm thinking they'll fit, he'll probably never take it off road so if they're snug it'd be...

Has anybody got some good pictures of the rear tub mount on a CJ5? It's the very last body mount and it's a boxed section. Any pics would be helpful. I'm fixing some of the badly rusted inner bracing on my tub. I think I know how it used to be, would just like some pics to confirm it and know...

Wow, didn't even know the forum had an arcade. That junky jeep game is pretty tough. My 7 yr old was diggin astroids, that makes me smile.

A fellow Jeeper was telling me that it was illegal to drive in TN. with your windshield folded down. I couldn't believe it and am still not sure if I do. I mean I can ride my Harley without a windshield as long as I have eye protection. The Jeep still has a windshield, it's just folded fwrd...

My son borrowed my CJ while I did some work to his truck. He called yesterday and said, " Hey there's a grinding noise comming from the transmission". Crap! I really didn't need anything else to fix:roll:. I guess I get to see what the inside of a T-176 4speed looks like:scratch:. Oh well, it...
