    Where to buy a new ECU/Computer?

    Does anybody know where to buy a new engine computer for a 1994 Jeep 4.0L m/t? The dealership quoted me at $540...I would usually prefer the dealer for this type of part but $540 seems outrageous. Are there any good sources for quality rebuilt Jeep engine computers besides the dealership? Also...

    dana 44 axle truss options

    The pinions on my dana 44's, especially the front, seem very vulnerable to rocks and I have been thinking of ways to protect them. Rather than welding a flat piece of steel under the pinion and yoke that could bend and hit the driveshaft if the jeep came slaming down on it, I thought that...

    front dana 44 ring and pinion--oil slinger??

    I'm installing a new (posi) carrier and 4.56 gears in my front dana 44 out of a scout II. I already did the rear, and when I took apart the front I noticed a very large oil slinger between the pinion gear and inner pinion bearing. The rear dana 44 pinion did not have an oil slinger here. The...

    trac-loc limited slip carrier ID/applications

    I recently acquired a trac-loc limited slip carrier, and am trying to confirm what gear ratio it is for. I know that it came out of a 30-spline dana 44, the numbers on the case are 43081-B- 2 R3 10G0 Y Any ideas or ways to tell what gear ratio the carrier is for?

    1994 4.0 vacuum diagram--almost done with a frame-off CJ7 restoration!

    I'm almost done with the frame-off buildup/restoration of my 1984 CJ7. All I have left is the vacuum routing and the power steering lines. I'm waiting for a fitting in the mail for the steering lines, but I can't for the life of me find a 1994 vacuum diagram for a 4.0 Can anyone help me out...

    Timing chain tensioner

    Does a 1994 4.0L have a timing chain tensioner? The Chilton manual I have shows one, but I don't remember there being one when I took the motor apart. Is there just that small rubber piece that slides into the inside of the timing chain cover and sits next to the chain, or is there something...

    Stinger bumper

    I'm looking into making/buying a front bumper for my CJ7, and have seen quite a few designs out there. To be honest, I kinda like the simple 2x4 steel bumper that is about as wide as the grill, maybe with a small hoop on it. I was wondering though, what is the benefit of having something like a...

    borla header

    Anyone know if a borla header made for a 4.0L 1998 TJ will fit on a 1994 cylinder head/motor? I'm building a stroker and came across a used borla header for pretty cheap, not too worried about exact fit in the engine bay/lining up with the exhuast or anything as the motor is going in a CJ7, but...

    Piston ring gap and rod bearing replacement

    So I'm finally piecing together my 4.6L stroker, and thus far it's been a nightmare. I had the pistons in the block when a machinist told me that the hypereutectic style i was using required a top ring gap coefficient of .0065-.008, giving me roughly a .030 gap on the top ring. So I pulled out...

    Procomp Xtreme Terrain vs. BFG A/T

    So I'm looking to get some new tires to replace the bald all terrains on my Nissan pickup now that the rains are here, which is now my daily driver since the Jeep is still in the OR. My biggest concern is traction in snowy/icy/rainy weather, since I head up to the mountains almost every weekend...

    Why Jeeps are better than hummers...

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=lpxoomyFs_0&feature=PlayList&p=F3FC73B680B1FF3F&index=8 This is a collection of clips showing how much hummers suck. Notice about 30 seconds into the clip how a Jeep just drives right by the stuck hummer with no problems, and when the hummer finally moves out of the...

    Project Jeep and boating trip on hold for a while...

    I was mountain biking today and went through a section of trail that was a bit beyond my skill level...really rocky with lots of drops, and coming out of one turn the front wheel slid out and hit a pretty big rock head-on, sending me over the handle bars with my legs stuck in the frame and the...

    Super Swamper TSL SSR

    OK, soon I'll be buying new tires for my project CJ, and I had planned on getting BFG MT's which is what I've run in the past, but have been tossing around the idea of a radial swamper. For those who have run the Radial SSR Super Swamper, how do you like them? How long have they lasted you on...

    Dana 300 issue

    I'm trying to rebuild my dana 300 transfer case and have dissasembled everything, except I have not been able to pull the shift rods out. Is there a trick to doing this? I took the front output housing off of the case so I could take all the gears out while I thought it over and let everything...

    U-joints

    I'm going to get some custom made driveshafts soon, and am going to have to decide what size u-joint to go with. The Jeep is going to have a ~330lb/ft stroker turning 35" tires with lockers, and will see some hard wheeling. Any recommendations on u-joint sizes? The rear will be a CV if it makes...

    35's...

    I've been reconsidering a few planned modifications to my CJ, and was wondering, what's the fastest you would want to go with 35's on a CJ7? It will have 58" wide scout axles, a sway bar, RE suspension with shackle reversal, rancho rs9000 shocks, and agr steering...maybe even a trac bar if it...

    Supplied air respirator

    I've been looking at supplied air respirators for when I sandblast and paint my Jeep. I'm not looking to spend too much, but don't want something that will jeopardize my safety. I noticed some units that are sold pretty frequently on ebay, they are the blue survivair ones, i think the model is...

    35 spline dana 44?

    I'm looking into getting some mosers for my Jeep, and noticed that Moser will make me 35 spline axle shafts for my rear dana 44 and ARB makes 35 spline carriers. However, I've heard a few draw backs about this, and have no idea if they are true at all. First I heard that 33 or 35 spline shafts...

    Racing Seats?

    I'm finally considering buying new seats for my CJ7, seeing as the original ones are torn up pretty bad. Since I have 5 point harnesses ready to go in the Jeep, and my stock seats let me slide around way too much offroad, I'm thinking of getting a pair of racing seats for the front. Any...
