1045105 Mine shoots way up to about 40 at idle on a cold start in cold weather, and it will jump to 60 or so iif I'm accelerating while its cold. Once it warms up it generally hovers between 15-20. jim 85 CJ[addsig]

1045237 The 258 holds 5 or 6... the manual says six... but mine seems up to snuff after 5.[addsig]

1046795 Well at the very least this guy seems like he's being honest... the pictures are fairly vague though, I think that you will have to get a good look at this one up close to make sure that it is ok structurally and mechanically. I don't think that 3k is a bad price for a CJ in fair...

1046798 Your CJ-7 would probably be considered rarer if it was a 76-79... because I think that all the autos from those years had quadratrac. However, that does not mean that a quadratrac-equipped CJ-7 would be more desireable. Those drivetrains are not considered as durable, and I think that...

1046803 I agree... I never lock my doors either just to make sure someone doesn't get impatient and cut through a window or something... Its better just to keep nothing of value in there and allow easy access. This past summer, someone went through my CJ for the first time since I've had it...

1046841 what kind of jeep is it?[addsig]

1046842 How's the paint, frame, interior, drivetrain, tires, etc.? Any other mods? Got any pictures? The more detail you can give, the better people on this board will be able to estimate a price. With older jeeps, you see such varying degrees of use, wear, mods and restoration that its...

1046880 I don't know if its this way everywhere else... but here in the DC area it seems like alarms are just about as pointless as it gets anymore. No one really pays any attention to an alarm going off, and i think that more often than not they're just viewed as a nusance. Its kindof a...

1046881 here's a chart you can check out... jeep tech: tires jim[addsig]

1046974 here's one you can try... its a willys board... jjournal willys jim [addsig]

1048679 Good call Rob... I was reading a post title not too long ago that made me think the same thing. I know that some of us may know each other (and are on the board a whole lot more than others) and that that might raise the comfort level enough to say certain things... but there are alot...

1048688 can't you just pull the wiper stalks off at the base and reposition them so that they are lower on you're windshield? oh, and happy new year! jim[addsig]

1055731 rest assured that if its stock, it is a t-176... it was the only manual available behind the 304 in 80[addsig]

1058532 If you're talking about buying a complete aftermarket top, then yes, the tops are the same dimensions... the only issue you might run into is if you need soft doors as well. Earlier CJ7s had a different latch design, while the later ones have the same striker as a YJ. Now if you're...

1058535 I'm pretty sure that cherokee's came with either an AX-5, a BA 10/5 or a AX-15 actually... I'm not sure those shifters are compatable with a T-5[addsig]

1049752 Yeah... it does break the seal, but its easily fixed. Mine was already broken when I got it, and a lot of water was coming in. I ended up putting a small bead of silcone down and it stopped the leaks.[addsig]

1058889 Yeah it is on the fly.... but on CJs you also have to lock the hubs. The transmission you're talking about is a t-150.[addsig]

1044132 When I bought my CJ it had (and unfortunately still has) 2" aals ... and I can tell you that the ride is stiff. The other thing is that the the springs seem to flatten out after a while too. I'm starting to notice that the front of my jeep seems to be a little closer to the ground...

1044346 Doesn't the 4 banger have fuel injection? I didn't think that they made any 4 cyl YJs with carbs? jim 85 CJ[addsig]

1044349 According to this, you've got throttle body fuel injection... AMC 150[addsig]
