I put a 95 wrangler tub on my 85 cj frame....best thing i ever did...i highly recommend it. Cj tubs have weak sides and are twice as likely to rot out then yj. As for little mods: definetly worth the time. I ended up having to rebuild the body mount perches anyway so that wasn't a big deal....as...

don't go with a v8....take it from someone who has done it. Way too much torque for these little guys. I'm taking mine out and going with the 4.3 vortec. unless you plan on working your way throught the entire drivetrain to beef up the weak points you're wasting your time. I ended up putting in...

the fuel pump is definetly working

it just cranks and cranks.......no hint of any firing....but like i said...it has all the factors needed for operation...i'm clueless...never seen anything like this.

vibration due to 1.75" lift it's an 87....it doesn't have the multi port injection of the post-91 years...it has the early throttle body fuel injection

the 2.5l fuel injected engine in my 87 cherokee won't start!...i'm getting fuel, getting spark, and the timing is right on the money...anyone got any ideas???....i'm lost

1054151 4.2L?...keep the stock replacement...i've tried centerforce...it definetly grabs better, but doesn't last any longer for a proce so high,...plus it's a bitch getting the bellhousing over them if your coming in from below with it...they're much bigger...the stock one i had last lasted 7...

1055844 i also got a question on the topic...how do you bend diamond plate...i was looking to reinforce my corners and rocker panels with some sheet diamond plate of about 1/8" thick...but i have no clue how to bend the corners. [addsig]

1055845 i just put new exhaust and intake gaskets in about 3 months ago...never had a problem...i'm almost sure it's in the valve train...i just hope i didn't blow rings or crank bearings....too much work for this old bird tho it only has 95k and i bought it with 77k on it. Also i've heard it's...

1056000 do you have a slip yoke or a collapsable driveshaft??...if it's the collapsable driveshaft type like on a cj it could be lube from inside the driveshaft that seeped out...and that's really no big deal...i'm not very familiar with the slip type...but i had one on a suzuki and it seemed...

1056002 hey sandrat...funny you mention the highway...one time i was in my 85 cj with a 4.2 (same exact wiring and everything as a yj up to '90)...and of course i was showing off to some other dorks of my age, next thing i know i'm at about 75 (with the top and doors off mind you) and the thing...

1056247 I have a cj and it is very lacking of options...i had the similar problem and i can tell you there is one solution i've found does the trick...believe it or not...window tints...you know like the kind you buy at walmart for $12 per roll. Only solution i can think of other than...

1056936 yea...thanx you guys, lots of info...i was gonna start with stock manifolds out of an 84 ram charger (not where the engine came from) they have the center outlet as you said...i'm taking a really wild guess at the t-176 input shaft...i just figured it fit fine in the 304 and they both...

1057593 We all have our hopes and dream projects...but with all due respect you're reaching a little far. If you REALLY want to pursue such a project i'd go for a cj7 frame...for the most part everything form a tj will fit onto this piece of metal...but still many many mods to be done. But a cj...
