On the TJ's the X came with the 4.0 stock. It was the least expensive way to get the 4.0 in a Wrangler (if I recall). - John

That's a shame... Too far gone to short cut it. Yeah, time to rebuild or find an other engine. Best of luck - John

Mine has done this in first and reverse since it was brand new. It only does it when the clutch is cold and usually when it's damp outside (like early morning). After it warms up it's fine. Also, my rear brakes squeal horrendously and grab when is's damp outside. This goes away after a...

On a 94 (that is your year Jeep, right? ) I think you have to pull off the steering wheel to get to the switch. The ones I've played with had the harness (more of a long pigtail with a connector) as a part of the switch. The leads are riveted to the contacts and are long enough to run down the...

Why in the world did they bother to make a high pinion AND a low pinion axle? Why not put the high pinion axle in all Jeeps (XJs and TJs) . No wonder why the auto makers can't make any money:roll: - John

You have a nice classic CJ there. Looks pretty solid, too. Definitely worth fixing up. Looks familiar to me for some reason... Have we seen these photos before??? Best of luck - John

I have run a set of regular Bosch platinums in my 05 4.0 and they ran great. I had a bad pinging problem with the worn out stock NGK plugs and it went away with the Bosch platinums. When the NGKs were new they were fine but as they wore the engine pinged. The platinums seemed to hold a crisp...

The turn and brake are the same wires all the way out to the lights. So, if you have turn signals back there the wiring all the way to the lights should be OK. I'm pretty sure the brake power goes through the turn signal switch. If you're sure the brake light switch is good, and you have...

To lose that much oil so fast I would guess you had two gaskets under the oil filter. When you took off the old one the gasket may have stuck to the engine. Then when you put on the new one (which has it's own new gasket) you ended up with two gaskets, one on top of the other. This is pretty...

Looks like your 3B is shaping up REALLY nice, HiHood. Each picture you post shows more of it together. You're lucky to live in a place with good weather so all your hard work isn't destroyed in a couple of years. Nice job - John

I have had a pair of those Olympic "Reverse-a-bars" (the heavy duty more expensive ones) for a few years. I put them on to protect against minor stuff and as a step for my wife. They are OK for trail riding, working in the woods, etc. and my wife loves the step (I even installed them pointing...

Welcome, Scott... Best of luck - John

I assume you are talking about the sewn stitches that are at the window to top joint? I have used this stuff called "Seal-All" on stitches before and it seemed to work pretty well sealing up the stitch holes. It was in a little yellow and red tube - John

No - Take out the spark plugs and squirt the Mystery oil in the spark plug holes. Use one of those pump-squirt type oil cans. Squirt in a good amount (like 20-30 squirts per cylinder, or more even) . Let it sit for a couple of days and then try to turn it by hand with a breaker bar with the...

The color of the internal parts does not matter. Older engines that ran on oils of yesterday often have burned deposits and black coatings in them. I have resurrected several siezed engines by pulling the spark plugs and and putting Mystery oil in the cylinders. The V design engines (like...

OK... I found the part numbers - I hope they are all still valid... The relay was a Radio Shack #275-241... The tail lights are Omix-Ada # 12403.82 (I'm pretty sure this number is for a pair of lights. They sell them seperately too). The light I used for the center high mount replacement...

Sorry, I have been offline for a couple of days... I'll try to get info on all of the parts I used over the weekend. The tail lights were not cheap but they are really nice. - John

I used two hockey pucks under each corner of the seat frame (total of 8 pucks). This raised the seat two inces and allowed me to see the front fenders. One other thing to think about... This puts more stress on the bolts (which you need to change to longer ones). One of the bolts is...

On my 2005 I did the flasher mod (where you add a little relay to the flasher) and it works great. I tried the 1157 LED bulb replacements and they were not bright enough. The side markers and plate illumination were nearly non existant. I saw that Grote makes an LED conversion "module" but it...

If you do end up getting a YJ (square headlight Wrangler) keep in mind that the Fuel Injected versions (later ones) are usually easier to keep running. If you need to pass emissions testing the Fuel Injected engine tends to be easier to make pass. Also, there's nothing wrong with a Cherokee...
