I had the same wheels on my 72 Chevy, they were magnesium American Racing

That IS strange. Yes, hello Brother!

I ran a stock 30 with a lockrite in it spinning true measurement 34's with a throttle body 350 and SM465. I broke a u-joint once while jerking someone out of a bad hole. You can upgrade the axles and joints or go whole hog for the 44, it's your choice. My opinion would be to lock it and upgrade...

Do a search for a seat on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market even though you only need the trim it will give you a bunch of places to contact and maybe you'll find what you need. Good luck

When you say the battery is dead do you mean there's no juice in it, or it's just not getting where it's supposed to?

Original front fenders, 4 doors w/power windows, rear gate w/power window, tan leather power seats - all rust free and operational from an Arizona truck - $500.00 for everything or make offers. All parts off and stored in garage in Central New Jersey 08533. Due to the size and weight of the...

Never had a problem with my 20. We bent a piece of rollbar tubing up over the pumpkin and used straps to pull it down to the tubes then welded them. From what I've been told the one-piece axles are stronger than the stock 44 axle but not quite as strong as an upgraded 44. There's no question...

If it were a wire rubbing I would think it would happen all the time not just when the button is pressed. I've had problems with the internal ring and that caused the horn to blow when I turned the wheel. Sounds like a relay hanging up to me as well.

83 CJ7, if I get another one it's got to seat 5 can't leave anyone behind anymore.

If you find a 5 sit in it an make sure you're comfortable. I found the 5 to be a bit cramped for me.

Haven't had a lot of time to cruise the board except to skim over the topics when my browser opens. Today I took some time to look around and have to say that there are a lot of new names that I don't recognize. It's still the best Jeep board on the web by far and any newcomers should stick...

Don't think there is such a thing as adjusting your valves with hydraulic lifters, pretty sure they're set and forget. I did find this when I did a search: Adjusting lifters on 2.5 4 Cylinder - JeepForum.com

Ok, I thought I remembered a thread a long time ago about heat, maybe under the passenger side. Wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

Isn't there an issue with heat from the exhaust on TJ's?

Okay, I just saw that the GM 4 2.5 was used from 80-83. In any case I would use the good running Jeep 2.5, look for a howell set-up and regear. You'll be surprised by the difference the fuel injection will make on it's own.
