Sorry, a hardtop from a 92 isn't interchangeable with a '97 or newer jeep. jim

Screw extractors are similar looking to a drill bit... the idea is that you drill a hole in the bolt and then put the extractor in (using the drill) to get the bolt free.

Just a little shameless self promotion. :lol: The top is here in Arlington, VA... here's the link... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2433952091 jim[/url]

When I bought my CJ it had 2" lift shackles on it (4" longer than stock). Those things just made it downright scary on the highway. I don't know what point shackles start to cause adverse handling/steering at... but as soon as I put stock size shackles on all my steering issues corrected...

Only 2 wires, the one that its hanging from, and the frayed remains of one on the other side. Would the old (and long gone) stock radio have had a noise filter?

Head light aiming? Yes there is a wire coming from it... its hanging off of it and the wire goes up into the dash a little farther than I can see... if it was stereo related, I'm guessing it must have been some sort of fuse for something. I'll have to poke around a little more once I've got...

I was cleaning out my Jeep today, and I found this small black thing hanging off of a wire behind the cigarette lighter. Its about 2"X 1 X1", and I can see where a wire used to be attached to the other side as well. I know my description doesn't give a whole lot to go on, but does anyone...

Is this your daily driver? CJ's just aren't nearly as comfortable as TJs are if you're on the highway alot... and although you said CJ's are beefy, TJ's are pretty damned capable. And don't even get me started on how much I want fuel injection... jim

Mine's got the draw bar and the ball hitch... and that really seems to be all that there is to it... I've only used it once to tow my old roommates boat, there doesn't appear to be anywhere to hook the trailer's lights up to though :shock: jim

Ya, keep me up informed too... I'm right outside DC as well. jim

Some CJ7's did come from the factory with AC actually... although I wonder how effective it would be with soft top/doors. Here's what Collins Brothers sells, but its pricey, so you might want to look at their used underdash units (under used jeep parts), and then just focus on getting the...

Had the same problem when I replaced mine... the best advice I can give you is to make sure you've pulled the boot down as close to the floor as possible. The more leverage that the boot has against the lever, the more likely it is to pop out of gear. If that doesn't help, I can almost...

bad crank? I had a Blazer that did that years ago... turned out to be a bad ground. Goodluck, jim

Well its good to know that they've had all that work done, but you might want to inquire a little more and see whats been done over the past 2 years or so since 10 years is an awful long time. That price may be fair, but watch out for rust. I looked at a few CJ7s before buying mine, and the...
