RE: Building a stroker out of a 4.0L My paranoia turned out to be somewhat justified. The tree-guys did damage the next door neighbor's garage with the trailer being used to haul away the tree! I am gratified, however, that the more distant neighbors didn't call 9-1-1 to report a bedraggled...

(Inspired by real-life events of this morning.) You run out to the garage in your PJs and slippers to park your Jeep a half-block away and walk home in the rain. All because you are afraid the huge tree being felled in your neighbor's backyard will fall on your garage and crush the Jeep parked...

RE: imagestation rant Hi-Ya tallen, Welcome to Jeepz-Dot-Com. Regards, Gadget

Hi-Ya randomjeeper, I also had problems with ImageStation "losing" photos. That is the primary reason I quit that I-Net photo hosting service. I also have problems with the Sony ImageStation "User Service Agreement." It is a tough slog to read through that lengthy agreement, but interesting...

Re: RE: Jeep Trailor??? Hi-Ya jeepfan555, I have seen what you are contemplating done several times, but never to a Jeep body-frame. The homemade trailers I have seen were made from the cargo box and frame of a pickup truck. Advantages to using a light truck box and frame are that the front...

RE: Rolling again Sure you can do that! Believe it or not, before automobile air conditioning became a commonplace, people used to install bypass valves in their car heater system hoses to bypass the heater core during summer. The idea was to get that box full of scalding hot fluid out of the...

RE: HOLY SmOKES Try here: http://www.quadratec.com Click on the "YJ" tab near top of page. Type "emergency brake cable" into the "Seach" box at upper left of "YJ" page. YJ e-brake cables start near bottom of page 1 and continue on pages 2 and 3. Regards, Gadget How odd, though? I...

RE: Rolling again OK..."divide and conquer" time. If the engine is flooding, even while running, then something is not restricting fuel flow. I would check the float and needle valve of that CJ carb. (You didn't mention rebuilding or otherwise checking the carb prior to installation.) Also...

RE: Spare Tire Carrier ??? Way to go, Sully!!! Regards, Gadget

Hi-Ya, LazyK, Welcome to Jeepz-Dot-Com. As an alternative idea, somebody used to manufacture a spare tire mount that attached to one of the diagonal rear down-tubes of the CJ rollbar. The mount clamped to the rollbar tube. The spare bolted to the mount plate. The tire stood upright on its...

RE: Finally, the tub off (pics not for shiny Jeep people) That dog is sssooo ugly... The owner should be put to sleep. Regards, Gadget

"Feelin lucky, punk? Go ahead! Take my parking spot! Go ahead! Make my daaayyyy!" Regards, Dirty Harry Gadget

An old-time and temporary metal gas tank fix was to put a rubber faucet washer onto a self-tapping, pan-head sheet metal screw. Then, run the screw w/washer into the hole in the gas tank. I stressed the word "temporary" above, because after a couple of weeks, a common rubber faucet washer...

RE: Re: It On your way east, you can stop to see Sparky. That assumes, of course, that Kansas is still there. Regards, Gadget

RE: Someone might be heading out east.... Man!!! Glad to be here and not there, Sir!!!! By coincidence, Mrs. Gadget was watching the "Wizard of Oz" on cable-TV last evening. Probably right about the time Kansas was being blasted for real. I think I will just go hang out in the Gadget Cave...

RE: $1400 3" Body Lift Hi-Ya, Roundlights, Sorry you won't be here as often. I will miss your wit and humor. Best of luck in the new job. and... Best regards, Gadget

Anyone have glow guages? Nice find, 90Xjay! I have a seldom used full soft-top, with doors, and a bunch of excess CJ-7 stuff to slap on that bad-boy! It would be fun to set-up that CJ for our winter weather, then give the CJ to Mrs. Gadget. Imagine that: a matched pair -- kind-a -- of CJ-7s...
