Hi all, It's time to fix up the ol' CJ. So, I'm looking for a good condition CJ or YJ frame to swap all my gear onto. If anyone has one or knows of one in the PA area, please let me know. Thanks! -X

Thanks for the input, guys. Patching the current frame is an option I considered, but I know there's at least one other spot starting to rot. So, I might as well go with replacing the frame. I'd like to protect the frame while I'm doing all this. Does anyone know about galvanizing? I've...

Sadly, I've found a pretty decent size crack and rot in the frame by the motor mount. One of the options I'm considering is getting a new frame, adding a lift and replacing the axles, then putting my tub engine and trans/transfer case on it. The question is, can I use a YJ frame to replace my...

Holy crap! We thought you were one of the thousands that spontaneously combust each year. Glad to see you're not.... yet. -X

Ha ha ha! It's so funny you brought up that song. I just had a co-worker send it to me last week. ...a big fat drunk disgruntled Yule-tide Rambo.. Aahhh that guy cracks me up. -X

8. Yep, 8 miles per gallon. On the highway, though, I can rock out a good 11... sometimes. My 4-banger TJ got a consistent 16mpg with combo of city/highway. -X

How'd I confuse that?!?! My apologies. I hear you about the Audi looking nice out of the box plus all the "standard" features you get in one. I never questioned why it cost substantially less than the comparable BMW and Mercedes which had less features (no AWD, 6-disc in dash, or heated rear...

You're a little high on the expectation for the Jeep. Book is ~$8,000 and since this isn't quite a buyer's market nor is it a rare vehicle, I would suggest you could hold out for $7,500 on a private party sale. Oddly, Autotrader is showing dealers selling them for $11K to $9K depending on...

I've got a Sub box that I had in my '98 TJ. It holds 2 12" subs and fits nicely behind the back seat firing toward the tailgate. There is a single +/- connector on the back so it is wired on the inside (parallel / series). It could use recarpeting, but at minimal will need the current...

My brakes have never been that good, but about the time the front wheel bearing went, braking has started to feel like stepping on a marsh mellow. I'm going to replace my master cylinder and wondered if there was an upgrade while I was at it. 84 CJ7. Axles/brakes are stock now, but I plan on...

So, this is much more personal than expected. I've got to say, though, that Sparky's origional response to the JK guy was spot on. It wasn't insulting at all. Heck, Mud agreed... and that's saying something. Everything else from there on was bit over-the-top for me. So, I'm not discounting...

"Familiarity breads contempt", my friend. It's odd. For as long as I've been around, there's been bickering. However, there's many more threads with Jeep questions and even more answers from our all-knowing brethren. Times are tought, now, too. In the past, I've had many a thread discussing...

After 2 years of abuse, I can't believe the CJ still shines up this nice. From a couple feet away, you can barely see the rust peaking through. We're off to Camp Jeep tomorrow. Sadly, it's getting towed down to VA, but we'll show off it's stuff on trail rides!

Sounds like the YJ clips a little different, but the steering wheel / horn should be the same. I forgot my CJ's wipers are on the dash, not the stalk. I'm really not sure how that effects connecting the stalk, but I imagine if it's a sleeve mechagnism, you could probably figure out the...

My CJ's was broked when I bought it. It was not the lever, but the switch itself. If you broke the lever, you'll just need a new one and a phillips head screw driver. If the lever came out with broken white plastic, you'll need the turn signal switch and can use your old lever. 1. You take...

Aluminu does disapate heat better than metal. However, you really shouldn't be worried about heating issue with a 4 cyl. even given your local. The one you're looking at is 2 row which is pretty average as radiators go. For example, I'm looking at 3 and 4 rows to cool an 8 cyl. Corrupt runs...

The exhaust was done header back right when I got it. It's custom fabbed dual exhaust with Flow Masters. I went three inch to match up to the headers. I, too, have fought with trying to seal the headers at the block. Copper header gaskets have been doing the trick for about 6 months. Lucky...

I'm looking for headers for a 360. The PaceSetter and Hedman headers are in price range. Anyone have opinions of either? Thanks, -X

5 minutes tops on a CJ/YJ type. If a TJ bikini top hooks like the factory softtop, it would be even quicker. Worse case... 5 min. On another note, it took roughly 15 minutes to install. Measure for center, pre-drill holes, screw in header, hook top, done. -X

I truly feel for you here. My gf spent 4 years building her credit up from credit card debt she got after high school. Last year, she decided to use her tax return to pay off her final CC debt and end the credit card nightmare for good. Lesson learned, right? They reported the late payment...
