    T-5 to T-176 transmission swap

    Will the shift lever and fulcrum parts from a T-5 (5sp manual from an 84 CJ7) fit on the T-176 transmission? I'm hoping to save some money and swap in the 4sp T-176 sitting in the garage rather than have to spend $$$ on a new input shaft for the T-5. However, all I've got is the transmission...

    Free tan soft top quarter windows YJ

    I tossed the actual soft top and rear window since they were trashed, but these are in decent shape if anyone is local to 19468 and wants them for free. I hate to toss them. Thanks! X

    2nd to 3rd sticking in 2000 TJ.

    Does anyone have a linkage diagram for the TJ 5sp? I've got a 2000 TJ with a "new" transmission... that doesn't have a warranty. So, yeah, I'm leary of that. Anyway, it sticks shifting from 2nd to 3rd. It shifts smooth with any other change. It also shifts easier from 2nd to 3rd if you...

    Bikini Top Windshield channel on a TJ

    I want to get a bikini top for a 2000 Wrangler. I would like to either have the windshield channel stay on the vehicle with the factory soft top up OR be able to install it when needed without using tools. Are there any brands / items that will allow either of these options? Basically, this...

    No 4WD light on 2000 TJ

    ...and by that I mean, the 4WD light doesn't exist on the dash board. Four wheel LO and HI both function fine, but no light comes on. When I looked closely, there were indicators that said "Part Time" and "Full Time" I think. It also looked like the indicator that I've seen described as...

    A little more clearance, please.

    The newly aquired TJ has a 2" suspension lift and 33" tires. On the road, it's fantastic. No rub at turns; No scrapes on bumps. Off road, however, the tires rub horribly on the fender flares... and what appears to be the fender itself. Mostly the front. Is this typical of 33's under a 2"...

    Grinding/Vibration in 4 Lo - TJ

    My 97 TJ , manual trans, has a grinding noise and vibration in 4 LO when moving. You can feel it in the transmission shifter and in the gas pedal. In 4 Hi, I swear I notice it very slightly, but my girlfriend (who drives it just as much) says I'm crazy and it's only in 4 LO. In 2WD, it's not...

    Back in the saddle again...

    Not that I ever truly left. The old CJ is still alive, kicking, and spinning around when I something better to do than work. I did, however, pick up a new edition to the family. As is always the case, it's about a girl. Two girls, actually. The beautiful love of my life wanted a Jeep she...

    Wanted: Good CJ / YJ frame

    Hi all, It's time to fix up the ol' CJ. So, I'm looking for a good condition CJ or YJ frame to swap all my gear onto. If anyone has one or knows of one in the PA area, please let me know. Thanks! -X

    YJ frame under a CJ

    Sadly, I've found a pretty decent size crack and rot in the frame by the motor mount. One of the options I'm considering is getting a new frame, adding a lift and replacing the axles, then putting my tub engine and trans/transfer case on it. The question is, can I use a YJ frame to replace my...

    12" Subwoofer box for Wrangler - PA

    I've got a Sub box that I had in my '98 TJ. It holds 2 12" subs and fits nicely behind the back seat firing toward the tailgate. There is a single +/- connector on the back so it is wired on the inside (parallel / series). It could use recarpeting, but at minimal will need the current...

    Master cylinder upgrade?

    My brakes have never been that good, but about the time the front wheel bearing went, braking has started to feel like stepping on a marsh mellow. I'm going to replace my master cylinder and wondered if there was an upgrade while I was at it. 84 CJ7. Axles/brakes are stock now, but I plan on...

    Ready for Camp

    After 2 years of abuse, I can't believe the CJ still shines up this nice. From a couple feet away, you can barely see the rust peaking through. We're off to Camp Jeep tomorrow. Sadly, it's getting towed down to VA, but we'll show off it's stuff on trail rides!

    Header Opinions?

    Trail Hawk

    I really like the direction of this thing. According to the article the flairing will be bent sheet metal, not plastic as would be assumed. http://www.autospies.com/news/DETROIT-AUTO-SHOW-Jeep-Trail-Hawk-Concept-11461/

    2" receiver fit.

    OK, I put a 2" receiver on the rear of my CJ just to be able to have a rear tow point (D-Ring). For Xmas, I got a very nice bike rack that mounts in the receiver. However, the bike rack is very loose in the receiver and bounces around a lot on the road. Has anyone run into something like...

    CB / Two Way Radios

    Can anyone enlighten me a bit on these things? I'm looking to monitor trail chatter. My gf picked up Motorola Talkabout T5000R's. They's FRS/GMRS. Will they work to hear public CB channels? Do people typically use CB channels anymore? I've read a bunch of stuff online, and it all says...

    360 Vaccuum lines

    I have a 360 from a 77 Wagoneer. Just to the passenger side of the oil filler tube on the block is a nut with two vaccuum lines coming out of it (opposite the temp guage probe). Does that fitting go into a water jacket? I've got an aftermarket temp guage I'd like to use to troubleshoot some...

    Electric Fuel Pump

    Anyone use an electric fuel pump on a carbed motor? I'm looking for opinions or insight. During my last Paragon escapade, my Jeep died going up the steepest hill of the day. A couple people attributed it to overheating as I was running hot all day. However, I tried starting a couple times...
