1070108 Wow, that is a pretty slick idea, Tug! [addsig]

1070109 Would upgrade swaps be, more or less, bolt-on changes? By this I mean no fabrication, expensive adapters. or etc. PS- Assuming that I upgrade to later model Jeep hardware. Like... going to an NP-231 t-case and AX-15 transmission. [addsig]

1070110 A fair amount less than $8000. :-) The one that I am eyeing has less than 6" of lift. Which is good, because I do not want too much. [addsig]

1070113 That is a gorgeous looking CJ7. I need to find one of those! :-)

1070124 The one that I am eyeing has a 2" body lift. It might be against the general Jeep rule, but my Jeep is most likely going to be street duty. So I do not need a big lift and huge tires. :) [addsig]

1070127 The braided hoses do look pretty slick. [addsig]

1070136 Are there performance mods for the FI 6-cyls? Altho, I do not really plan on adding too much. [addsig]

1070163 http://www.zandm.com/ Contact Z&M and see if they know of anything. They provide the goodies to use Ford 5.0L V8s. I had a possible lead on a donor Ford Mustang, so I researched the Ford 5.0L swap already. :) [addsig]

1070655 Order one of those How-To videos for transmission rebuilding. I have a buddy who does Mustang 5-speeds without any manual at all. Rebuild kits are chump change compared to having a shop do the work for you. [addsig]

1070656 Around town driving, I would say 3000 miles. Mostly highway miles, I would say 5000 miles. (Assuming you are using a non-synthetic oil.) [addsig]

1070657 That is good, because I am leaning towards an '87. The stock Jeep is going to see mainly street duties. When it comes time for the Hemi swap, I imagine I will be replacing the 5-speed with the 727 anyways. Thanks for the input, everyone. Much appreciated. [addsig]

1070672 What comes in a Sahara package on YJs? As far as I am aware, just a decal special. Maybe seats with map pockets and carpet. Specially, I am talking about 1988. :-) [addsig]

1070714 I forgot to change oil in my 4.3 S10 once. Went about 8 months (8,000 miles). I am pretty lucky that was back in the days that I had to commute 30 miles each way, since my oil was not really too bad. Oil pressure was still good, too. I love the GM 4.3! :-) [addsig]

1070842 Way over my budget, but that is a killer CJ7! [addsig]

1063361 Has anyone ever installed an early Hemi in a Jeep? I am curious if the task has ever been done and/or if the idea is feasible (without any major pains). :) [addsig]

1063595 A few little questions, for my curious nature. (I'm obviously not a master of Jeep history.) When did CJs get rear seats? Always? When did CJs get an optional hard top? [addsig]

1064634 Thinking about getting a Jeep later this year for a possible Hemi conversion down the road. Is there a good engine/transmission combo to look for in a CJ-7 that would make it easier for a swap later on? I'm envisioning a 331-354 Hemi with an auto transmission... I think people say to...

1066506 Were the transmissions all floor-mounted? Were automatics on the steering column? [addsig]

1066723 Does anyone make better rollcages for the old CJs? Or is the stock bar the only real economical choice? I know *anything* can be fabricated, but curious if there are pre-fab alternatives/add-ons out there... [addsig]

1066731 This question is geared toward people with older Jeeps. Do you have normal coverage? Can you get "classic" (read: cheap) coverage on an older Jeep if it is not a high mileage vehicle? I am curious how some of you insure an old Jeep. Seeing as "liability" is the majority of normal...
