ya.. thats kinda what I was thinking. Thanks

OK- Nobody in the world seems to know the answer to this question! I have looked at tie-rod installations on-line: Some folks say left hand thread goes on the passenger’s side others say left hand thread rod-end goes on the driver’s side???? Any input… Thanks

I have a very quick question- What side of the vehicle does the left hand (reverse) thread tie-rod end go on? Thanks!

4 Wheel Drive hardware makes a fantastic, well priced YJ lift. I would have a hard time sepending the money on a lift kit that gave me 1.5" of height. YJ's are low to begin with, you should reasearch 2.5" kits. A 2.5" kit would work well with your new 31" tires.

Hey guys- Has anyone installed an electric fan in front of their 258? I am curious as to the size of fan that would keep my jeep running cool. What fan size, or what brand has worked for you? Did you place the temp sensor in the manifold or radiator?

I have a shock length question concerning my 79 CJ5. The 4WD Hardware 2 ½” lift kit that I installed was sent with shocks that appear too long. When the vehicle is sitting on a level surface I have about 2 ½” of shock piston exposed on the front shocks and about 2” of shock piston...

Thanks for the advice. Did the MORE mount require any modifications to the cross member or frame, or was it a direct replacement?

If I convert to power steering on my 79 CJ do I need a new steering box mounting bracket? Thanks

Beat ricers? Sounds like you have the wrong car. My CJ is for driving slow! In fact my bicycle is faster off the line. I like spanking stupid little ricers in my very fast hopped up Volvo V70 Wagon. Keep the jeep on the dirt bro….

Thanks for the beta!

This month I will be converting my 79 CJ to power steering. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions about where to find the parts? I have located a pump bracket but need everything else. Thanks for the Beta.

I just put the TFI upgrade on my 79 CJ5. It was the best $100 bucks I have put into the jeep! My Jeep has never seen 75 MPH before the upgrade.

You could make sure all your emissions related vacuum lines are in good shape and have vacuum where they should. I had a Datsun 280Z that would not pass and it was a simple vacuum line.

I guess your gonna need to cut and splice them on to the new TFI coil plug. The (+) is red and the (-) should be green, this is also the tach wire. The new TFI plug should have a red and a green wire attached to it. Does that help?

Its pretty simple: The old coil has a (+) and a (-) wire attached to it, the TFI coil has a (+) and a (-) connection as well just move the wires from the old coil to the new one. To make life eaiser buy the $3 plug that plugs in to the TFI coil.
