Hey Man..... I know it can be done. I think one of our members, "Superj" maybe, had either started a link or gave really good comments about this last summer. Hopefully he or someone else who has done this will chime in soon.

I'm not completely certain as to what your getting at? But there is a difference between longer shackles and a true suspension lift (4" for you right?). Consider that a shackle only lifts the frame by about half of its overall length because your spring is still anchored or pivoting at the...

Maybe sooooo........ That would explain the "fresh scent" in the shop!

Craigslist???????? I understand about the cost of the Bestop seats. They came with the 85 CJ I bought three years ago. In addition to seeing a lot of car accidents in my career, I can tell you that the driver of the striking vehicle had to be cut out of her car. I simply came too, unbuckled...

They come with a few clips but not really enough. I bought a set of replacement OEM style harness clips which had several variations of them from a guy on Ebay. I just searched "jeep cj7 parts" or I can get the info for you for my purchase if you have troubles.

Hey for what it's worth, I have the Bestop TrailMax High-back fixed position seats for my CJ7 that are about half way down on the link you posted. They are good on the comfort side and will mount up to your factory pedestals and sliders (of you have them). I believe these seats ( at least the...

I didn't see the "5" part either....my bad. The other GM columns are cheaper because not everyone know about the swap or does not belongs to this great site! Also, depending on the year of the donor column, some fabbing will be needed but it is fairly easy.

For the past couple of weeks, I've been working on the brake lines, fuel supply and return, linkage for the Weber and re-building the transfer case. I went crazy with the T-case with stainless hardware and a sight tube for the gear oil. For the T-case, I disassembled the unit, cleaned and...

Hello....... CJ's were made with auto columns, although rare and those that were where shift on the column. AMC used Saginaw steering columns (GM). I recently broke the shroud on my column while rebuilding it and in the process of tracking that part down got a detailed education on them. I...

Other than CJ bucket seats, Im not certain because of the trans tunnel. Here in MD, Craigslists is filled with CJ style seats. You said you have a front bench seat? I've never seen that in a CJ7? Is it a 60/40 style split? If so, you may have a bench out of a early CJ5 or Tuxedo Park model...

Well, I can try to elaborate but I'm on vacation and only packed my tablet so some of the tech sheets and links I'd normally include I don't have with me. The Weber you have is likely a 32/36 or a 38/38 which are both downdraft designs. The Weber you have was not designed specifically for the...

The Mr Gasket fuel pump is not a bad pump in itself, it is installed incorrectly as you pointed out and beyond the improper location, its not likely setup for your Weber. I would not recommend a mechanical pump with your Weber. With a few exceptions, the Weber prefers a constant (mech pumps...

Yes, you can more the ground to the block and it would have just been attached using a bolt, washer and lock washer originally. My guess about the relay is that it is for the electric fuel pump or an electric radiator fan ( if yours has been upgraded). Is the resistor wired to the relay...

The 10110 is pre-terminated and cut to length for the CJ. For the most part, it a drop in OEM harness, you still need to crimp/soldier a couple of things. The 10106 is specific to the Jeep CJ but will need to be cut and the end connections crimped/soldiered on. The big difference will be if you...

Oh the other thing...... You can call Northern to customize any part of the kit you would like to upgrade or if you dont need something that is included (like cam bearings because your machine shop will likely be installing their own brand) they will credit you the difference. If they still...

try going to the comp cams web site, great info there. I went with the one slightly more aggressive than stock. When I ordered my kit from Northern, I got the add on items (on the bottom of the page) like the plast-o-gauges and a couple rod bolt caps (which you'll need if your doing the assembly...

Joe, try Northern Auto. I got the kit for my 258 there and paid a few dollars more to upgrade my bearings. Their customer service was great! As for your trans, I'm guessing you have a T176? Whether you have a T176/177 or a T4/5, the complete rebuild is not overly complicated but you will need...

Well since you checked the brakes already, there are two possible areas I'd look into next. First, remove the rear differential cover and check for containments in the gear oil. Then check the ring and pinion for wear or sheared off teeth. Second, if you have an auto trans, could the noise be...

With a few exceptions, chrome plating with be magnetic ( actually the base metal will be) and you'll see your reflection in it clearly.. Plastic can be painted or it can be chrome (like) plated too, but it's not magnetic.

Does the vehicle seem like its lunging or jerks at take off? Even if just a little...
