I replaced my transmission mount and the torque arm bolt and bushings. Now a have a vibration when I down shift to slow down. Any ideas??? Also, how tight am I supposed to tighten the torque arm bolt? I tightened it until the top bushing was slightly squished. The bottom bushing has a...

Yeah my 2000 TJ did that as well, I sold it before I could find out what was wrong with it. I did the whole smack the dash thing and that did cure it for a while. Probably in the wiring harness like someone else mentioned. Give your dash a little tap next time it happens.

Thanks for the advise!! I just had a new exhaust put on, and had them turn the pipe to the side but it is behind the tire, not in front of it. I only have a muffler and a resonator on the exhaust.

I just bought an 83 CJ7 and the exhaust smells like gas and, well... exhaust. More than usual though. I know a few people who own CJ's and thiers dont smell as much as mine. Every time I drive it I have to change clothes because Im saturated by the time I get home. The Jeep runs and idles...

Re: North and South Man, I just want more power. Can it really be done without a v8 swap? What do I need, maybe a new catback, K&N intake and a chip. Is that all I can do for the most part? And would all that increase power as well as fuel economy? Thanks!

What does a factory hardtop weigh? Im making a hoist and I figure I should probably have an idea of how much weight ill be lifting. Thanks!

All I know is that the larger you go in tire size, the slower your Jeep becomes and the engine and transmission will have more strain on them. Unfortunately I have no experience with a 4 Cyl so I dont know if it will handle the 31's fine or not. Hopefully you will get some more replies. Good luck

RE: How do I take the doors off? so say my tires were actually 33", which gear of the two (32 or 31) would give a slower speed? thanks

RE: Selling my Jeep.... Ive checked several charts and some say 31 teeth and some say 32 teeth for 33's and 3.73 ratio. Does anyone know for sure which one is accurate? Thanks!

RE: CJ5 Lift thanks for the info and advice
