1043085 I would stick with the full hard doors... they're good for the cooler months when you want the top down but no doors would be too cold. In the summer when he wants to see the road, or whatever, you can spend a few hundred bucks on a set of 2 piece soft doors that are easy to remove and...

1043515 this is what i want.... i just wish they they were cheaper... Bulletproof Bumpers jim 85 CJ[addsig]

1059620 Yeah, I think they did a shoddy job putting the motor mounts in causing the engine to break the mounts and/or shift again.[addsig]

1059795 Here's some info on the swap... Motorcraft 2100 Swap [addsig]

1060766 Here's a couple CJ-only boards you can check out... JJournal - CJ Board VMag - CJ Board I do understand where you're coming from, probably looking for model specific info and whatnot, but the people on this particular board enjoy a free exchange of info reguardless of model.[addsig]

1061717 Definately look for an original drivetrain if your state is tough with emissions. Here in Virginia, you can't even swap the carb out. If its an original engine, look for a number stamped on top near the exhaust manifold that's usually the year prior to the jeep's model year (mine has...

1063045 It pains me to say this... but if you're talking stock, right out of the box, I think that TJ's are probably the best. The available coil spring suspension is a big improvement, and I can tell you that you won't regret having fuel injection one bit... not to mention how much easier it...

1063062 I don't have any first hand experience with CJs that came with the Buick V6... but everything that I've read about that engine has been positive. Here's a link with a little info... Dauntless V6 Sorry, I can't help with the heater/defroster question.[addsig]

1063664 Yeah, I would consider that if I could, but the weber won't get past emissions here in VA. [addsig]

1063700 That's good to hear Jeff... I've read on some other boards that some people experience 'pinging' after installing MPI, especially if you arent running premium gas... what's your take on that?[addsig]

1063799 Factory hard tops started in 76, the first year of the CJ7. I've seen a few older CJ5's that had aftermarket metal tops and doors, but its hard to say when that started. The rear seat has probably been around since the begining (even though it might not have always been there), I...

1063817 Here's a '41 Bantam with a clear shot of the back seat... Back Seat[addsig]

1063823 Great to hear troy.... are you still using the 4.2L head? You guys are reinforcing my desire to do this... It is a lot of money, but I know that I will not be selling my Jeep anytime soon (or ever), so it seems like its worth it for the added power and reliability. jim[addsig]

1063826 hesco makes an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and hi-flow fuel injectors... they aren't cheap though. Fuel Pressure Regulator/Injectors[addsig]

1064083 This isnt an uncommon problem, and I remember reading about it before. Apparently the ones that are least likely to lean to the left are the ones that came from the factory with the hardtop. The reason is because the springs had more leaves in them if they came with a hard top. [addsig]

1065288 What's wrong with years 84-86? There isnt really any difference with those and an 83. If you're looking at stock CJs a later year has some advantages... you can find one with wide-track axles (after 81 or 82 I think). The roll bar is also more securely mounted after 79. And maybe...

1065328 Ok... I think that this is the Jeep that you're talking about.... Red White & Blue CJ Lets start with the drivetrain... Find out if its running the stock axles... if it is, then it has an AMC 20 in the rear. Hopefully the guy has put in one-piece axle shafts to turn those big tires...

1065396 The main problem that you will run into trying to fit wide-track axles under a quadratrac CJ is that (if I'm not mistaken) one of your diffs is off center, whereas both diffs are centered on non-quadratrac CJs. As far as stability/traction is concerned, it makes sense that your old Jeep...

1065398 Every in a while when I'm bored I'll build a new Wrangler on the jeep.com site... anyway, I think that there is a wheel upgrade option listed there... I could be wrong though.[addsig]

1065403 It would be impossible to get going in first or reverse, but yes you can do it. I sincerely doubt that its good for the clutch or transmission though.[addsig]
