I'm in central Virginia, but I'll go further to do some wheelin'... Been to Paragon, Tellico, lotsa places in between. Even made a trip to Moab many moons ago. As long as I have the time, and the Jeep is cooperating, the drive distance doesn't mean too much to me. --Chris

Trail riding... same thing as others mentioned, it consists of a little of everything such as mud, water and such. Or even just dry back woods trails that take ya out where non-Jeepers won't go. --Chris

Screen name is Greywolf... former cop (over 12 years in two rural central Virginia agencies), welder, blacksmith, and Jeep nut. I currently have 7... one in parts, one needs total resto, the others always need something, hehehe... father of one (shared custody), I hunt, fish, camp,. four...

Hey ya'll, Does anyone know if there is another type of transmission (auto or standard) that will bolt up to the GM four cylinder that is in my 1981 CJ-7? The thing has a lot of power and torque for a four banger (not ot mention really low mileage) and I can't afford a swap right now so I'll...

1059781 Well, as they say, the locks only as good as long as the person who's trying to get into the box isn't THAT serious about it. Truthfully, the Tuffy products have, from my experience, been some of the more reliable set-ups as opposed to many of the other after market add-ons. Short...

1059783 Theft? Hmm this is near the top of the list... I had a radio, speakers, CB and BOTH bolt on antennae's stolen off of one of my Jeeps anout 12 years ago when I was a cop. Oh, here's the kicker... the thing was sitting in the police department parking lot when this happened! I've...

1054961 Hey, how's it going? I had 32's on stock CJ's everything from 32'2-35's on a spring over. No problems with any of them. Only problem I notcied on the stock ones was if I bottomed out REALLY hard they tended to bite on my fender flares a bit. Thinking with a 2.5" lift that wouldn't...

1054962 Hey Bullet... ya might try going by Sears and getting their new "rounded nut" removal tools. No I don't hvae the name of them but I have both sets (how smart is that?)... These look kinda like sockets but have a blade type of device made into the inside of them. The more you turn...

1051533 Hey what's going on? If you can find them (usually at a Firestone shop) there are "Sidewinder's" as well... nearly identical tread pattern to the BFG all terrains and yet in my area about $30 cheaper per tire... I've been running 32x11.50's on several of my CJ's for many years now...

1053552 Welcome to the world of Jeeps... Not too sure about the Wranglers, but I know on my CJ's (the 5's, the 7'2 and the 8) the tops can be folded down on the rear tailgate area. All of my tops are made by Bestop. It takes a little doing to get the knack of folding one down like that but...

1053558 Allegedly the YJ means "Yuppie Jeep" (fitting since it came out when all those sorts were going strong) and the TJ means "The New Jeep" (so called because of the fall back to round headlight and such). Truthfully? I dunno... but that's what I've heard, been told, read and seen in...

1071813 Hey, Alternator is good to go. Haven't found any vacuum leaks... I just have a sneaking suspicion some (most?) of them are in the wrong places... Course figuring out the shop manual is a feat in itself... [addsig]

1071826 Hey, Quite familier with the Harrisonburg area... I'm in Charlottesville. We end up on Blakey's Ridge in Madison a lot or Peake's Mountain over on your side. See Ya, Chris[addsig]

1071946 Only things I can suggest are: if you use the shroud make sure that it's the right one for your application (or as close as possible)... ie: the V-8. I ran into a similar problem some years ago when I had a high performance engine put into my Chevy pick-up. The factory shroud...

1074598 Did a spring over lift on my CJ-7 some time ago... Towing is the better option so you don't risk possibly breaking something. However, you don't have to weld the rear end to ensure it's at the proper angle. If you put the right shims in it between the rear and the springs you'll be...

1074779 Hey, ya gotta work with me a little here, this is my girlfriends Jeep and she expects it to be as near to perfect as possible. Is that even possible with a Jeep? hehehe If it is, I've never had the privilege. Personally I'll stick to my CJ-7 and my Scrambler. More room for my...

1074902 These are just a few areas that I've found over my time owning and fooling with Jeeps to REALLY look for problems... 1. On the front of the frame near the front spring shackle, check the frame for cracks and such. From fatigue and HEAVY use this area can crack. It is repairable if...

1076897 Hey, we hit the trails pretty often in the Madison, Harrisonburg and Winchester areas pretty often... Alot of the places we go are close to or even within the boundaries of state and/or national forests but we stay on the open trails and have never had a problem. Even get down to the...

1073925 Hey there... one heck of a deal ya got on the rims. I have a set exactly like them on my Scrambler. Have had them for about 14 years now. They're typically called "Turbines" but I don't know who makes (or made) the things. Ah well, who cares right? Ya got a great deal, sharp...

1048030 Hey ya'll how's it going? Hope someone out there can help me out. I have a 1982 Jeep Scrambler with a 258 in-line six cylinder (non California and no a/c) and an automatic transmission, and dana 300 transfer case. Does anyone have a HIGHLY detailed copy of a vaccuum diagram for...
