1044431 Hey thanks Chinard... I was pretty sure on that TBI thing.... But in response to your other question... Webber does make a carb for the older 2.5L. I did a search earlier on another board to try and find some info on it that I could relay, but I couldn't find anything. jim 85...

1044451 I've been hearing people debate the pros and cons of this for a while... I kinda lean towards thinking that its on the ghetto side, but only because I question what drilling a hole in the middle does to the integrity of the puck. Some people use boat rollers too (you can pick em up at...

1044454 Couldn't hurt to try Jim at 2001 Jeep Parts... He's located in NJ and has tons of OEM stuff from way back. You'll probably get a better response calling though... don't know how often he checks email. good luck, jim 85 CJ[addsig]

1064410 I'm up the road a bit in Arlington... hopefully its nice enough this weekend for me to get the hard top off jim[addsig]

1064731 Don't listen to these naysayers, of course you want your YJ to look like a CJ! :lol: Seriously though, I have seen it done, but you do have to replace the fenders too if I'm not mistaken... I'll see if I can dig a link up or something. jim[addsig]

8000 210 ft/lbs @ 2000rpm

16000 Also, it might not hurt to check out your fuel filter... does it happen when your tank is close to empty? Just a thought.

27000 It was a 3 speed

55000 My friends stock YJ rubs just a bit in extreme situations with 30s... with 31's you really need about 2", preferably of suspension lift (in my mind at least). Good Luck! Jim 85 CJ

91000 What years are the two jeeps? The good one is definately pre-1980... but the second one (if newer than that is an 86). if this is the case you cant swap the transmissions that easily because the good one has a dana 20 while the newer one has a dana 300. Additionally if your parts jeep...

94000 I think you should be able to run 31s without any lift.

151000 When I bought my CJ it had rs5000s already on it, and there's nothing wrong with them... but if I were you I'd get the 9000s... it definately sounds like its worth the extra $$$

164000 97 was the first year of the TJ

180000 I'm with terry on this one... a 304, 360 or 401 should bolt up with relative ease... as far as your t-176 is concerned, some CJs in 80 and 81 had a 304 and a t-176, so it should be ok.

186000 I know that you're hating that tire rubbing sound, but a shackle lift of 1.5-3 inches will seriously mess with your ride and your steering geometry. Keep in mind that for 1.5 inches of lift, your shackles will be 3 inches longer than stock. When I got my CJ it had 1.5 inch lift...

203000 A 360 is definately not the original engine... but the transmission is something that you're going to have to call into question. Its kind of impossible to know for sure how much of a headache this will pose without knowing what kind of transmission it is. Being the pessimist that I...

225000 Yeah, they used the 258 through 1990, you can look for some amc cars too that had the 258 (amc eagle, concord, etc.) Good Luck, Jim 85 CJ

232000 Transfer case switched from dana 20 to dana 300 in 1980... the switch in t-cases also caused jeep to start using different transmissions such as sr-4, t-176, t-4 and t-5 instead of the earlier 3 speeds and t-18 four speed. In 81 (i think), jeep started using wide-track axles for...

243000 Check out www.2001jeepparts.com Call the phone number on the website and ask for Jim... he can probably help you out... plus its really cool to go out there and check out all his stuff. He's out of Mt. Holly, NJ.
