1060987 Crap! I have no idea if i have the 38/38 or the 32/36 ... I never bothered to ask when they were installing it... Anyways, I'm guessing it should be easy enough to install for a complete noob like myself... :-D[addsig]

1061209 Actually i had the same thing for a while... there were a couple of things that i did to fix it... First i installed the TFI ignition upgrade... That helped the engine rev up a bit faster and smoother, but as far as the bog when i STOMP on the accelerator, that was easy to fix just by...

1061649 damn, that shiznit is pretty cool. I wonder if you can do the same conversion on an old CJ?[addsig]

1061694 Hmm... A bit harsh, but i see where you're coming from. My other car is a '02 toyota celica, and its a fun little import. Some would say its a bit on the ricey side, but i like to think of it as being subtley pimped out enough to still keep its dignity. I believe a little diversity...

1055403 is the TJ axles that much wider than the CJ? Will i need to do anything special with the differnentials or is it a clean swap? Would i need to do anything to the suspension or ball joints? I'm trying to avoid spacers and offset rims for the simple reason that they place un-necesary...

1055454 I'll have to look into the wide trak/narrow trak on my jeep. I'm thinking that i probably have the narrow trak, but i'd have to measure to find out for sure. Anybody have the specs on how long the wide trak axles would be? I was already planning the flare extensions, thats why i...

1041290 yeah, i'm kinda in the same boat. I'm a bit of a newbie and i'm lookin at either a CJ-7 or a YJ and i don't really know where to start as far as researching the two vehicles. I've seen that there are lots of mods and engine swap projects for the CJ-7 so i think thats probably...

1041384 I had a closer look at that spot where i replaced the heating tube and referenced it in the haynes repair manual. Its the PCV valve. The hose on it was totaly rotted and broken so i replaced it. According to the repair manual, there is supposed to be a filter inside the air filter...

1041411 Thanks for the link... I also found a good article on http://www.jeeptech.com that is nearly identical except for the pictures. It basicly confirms exactly what i suspected in that if one gauge goes bad, several gauges go bad which is what has happened here. Now if only i can find...

1041424 I appreciate the info on the PCV... Knowing kinda what it does explains where that friggin "lawnmower engine" smell was coming from. Most of that smell has gone away after i replaced the tube which is good. Other than the oil smell, i hope that the PCV being disconnected and sucking...

1045777 I've got the borla and its not bad... Good quality constuction and you can tell by the sound that they are not using cheap materials. (nice deep growl) My only complaint is that the piping is all the same diameter as stock... I kinda wanted more flow and less backpressues on my...

1045813 quadratec doesnt cary parts for OEM hardtops. They only carry the besttop stuff (i already checked) [addsig]

1045815 Yeah, you're right... thanks.. Only $170... That's going to save me a TON of money Here's the explicit link. http://www.jcw.com/item.jhtml?ITEMID=9574[addsig]

1045853 Ummm... The radio antena on my CJ whistles like crazy... try looking at that too[addsig]

1045877 found it!! I went home from work early, and took a voltmeter to the electical, backtracing from the battery... My Red + battery cable was corroded through!!! I jiggled it a bit and my jeep came back to life... Looks like its time to make a field trip to the auto parts store and...

1045953 my borla is loud as hell, but then again, my cat converter's been removed... [addsig]

1045966 I just went through all this recently when i bought my '82 CJ7 which was almost ready for the scrapyard when i bought it. First off, check the frame thoroughly for rust. Keep in mind that with older jeeps, a certain amount of body rust is expected. Body rust is easily repairable...

1046082 I'm in... What do I need to do and who do i need to hurt?[addsig]

1046088 You know what? I just remembered... These are no good to me unless they come in metric... (I'm up here in canada, eh!)[addsig]

1048878 On a 4 speed you pretty much HAVE to be able to downshift into 1st on a regular basis. Keep in mind that the power band and gear ratios on a 4 speed are spread MUCH wider than on a 5speed. Downshifting to 1st if you are going less than 30km is perfectly fine, and with the absence...
