Secrets of the Bubbacon reveiled!!! My 79 and my 86 had the same round fender flares, those are not stock Gadget. Tell the truth now. Its a wrangler with a CJ front clip. You were affraid of being shamed for having square lights. It's ok to be square as long as it's ONLY your Jeep. :wink:

Yup it is in the Catalog. Look one page before the "After market extended flares" They have my CJ ones for $69-79 Wrangler ones with the small extension and the TJ models. A set of four for under a hundred. I plan on getting new CJ ones. But man would I have liked to have seen these before I...

Duece and halfs rock!!!!!!! 8)

Has anyone tried to polish them with some white compound?? And has anyone bought the factory set from Quadratec for $99 bones?? Are they any good?? Just thought I'd jump on the thread and ask some questions I had on the topic.

WHO?????? :lol: :lol: Only when they get to turn right too. Non-Nascar fans usually have never been to a race in person. Like myself. :( I used to never understand the draw to outlaw sprints but the wrecks. THEN I watched one in person, ate sand, got it my eyes...

Great thread and link!! I am sure Skyjeeper was trying to point out that 4.0s commonly pumps oil into the air filter system. Usually its only the pvc system has gotten clogged with sludge. I figure you have already checked all the hoses and passage ways. On that note, the 4.5 idea sounds...

2 wheel low Glad your alright. Never fun to roll over.( ok after it's all over it kind of is. :wink: ) I have done it in the back of a VW Sciraco three time down a cliff. I have just a lap belt in my old CJ but I wear it anyways. I DO NOT want to test it though. One of my future mods is some...

You lucky dog!! That's great!!! With injection, manual trans and 33's I get about 12 mpg.

:lol: :lol: :lol: I tried that once with my 86 CJ7. $7500 later I had to dump it for 3K. Fix what is broke or weak and treat it right. THEN repeat if neccessary. Doesn't he know you can't buy "Non-$#it-happening-insurance." :D Tell him to call Bohannans Auto Service in Bentonville PH #...

Definitely try to retighten the flange bolts on the exhaust. After they heat up a few times they always seem to loosen a bit. If you can snug them when she is warm without burning yourself that always works great.

I know lots of mechanics but most work full time and tinkering on the side just isn't what they like to do. The Manual trans a transfer case is going to be the hard one. I believe Acme still does manuals. The axles brakes and steering can be just about anyone. Does he need gears or just bearings...

5 Goodyear Wrangler GSA 30x9.5.15 Yea the V-dub engine is the 1500 I believe.

If your Omni is the base model it should have the Volkswagen Rabbit engine in it. So if you ever need parts again look for those too.

Yes you have to remove the steering wheel to get to the next item. Remove the wheel nut and washer, and you might as well remove the three screws and horn button assembly. Get a steering wheel puller or prepare to beat the snot out of the wheel with a hammer to remove it. (Put the nut back on a...

Check out the new FourWheeler Mag, they have a great write up Beyond winching basics. Shows you how to calculate loads, slope, type of stuck, and what your winches "PULL RATE" really is depending on were you are on the spool. Not to mention a ton a great ideas for pulling things in strange...
