Here's an oddball suggestion. I had the same problem with my '81 CJ-7. Mine wander developed after the wheel bearings were repacked. Some dolt (that would have been me) did not get the spindle nuts torqued right as I did not have the rare (at least at the auto parts stores around here) socket...

Hi_C, I've looked at the wheel spacers too. The brand you mentioned that slip over the existing studs and bolt into place and also have their own set of studs seems like it would be a strong setup. Remember the rear AMC 20 axles used the hub to "cut" splines into the shaft (or the other way...

Any opinions on the Durabak stuff listed in the rags? I have a CJ5 that will hav some sort of spray in liner when I get that far. How about the wheel wells and frame etc. Been quite a while since I've posted. Kids, job, and moving have taken their toll. 8)

1041615 I have been driving stick shifts for a while and was told by my grandfather years ago to always shift into first and then go to reverse. He said something to the effect of back when transmissions weren't synchronized this was the way to keep from grinding into reverse. It has always...

1041688 St. Marys, OH (Otherwise known as a west central corn field). [addsig]

1041689 Terry, Congrats on a site that has been around for a couple of years now. It's nice to see something on the net last and not become a fly-by-night thing. Many a late night (early morning?) has been spent settling my now 19 month old daughter back down to sleep. Only problem is she...

1041691 My 258 has only ever made about 13-14 mpg since I've had it (3 years now). The carb on mine is my problem. Planning on switching to a 350 within the next 12 months (already have engine, just need time). Figured mileage would not be much worse with a mild build. [addsig]

1041710 Here is another big vote for "NO POPUPS" Nothing screws up a good surf like popups. Thanks for taking that stand Terry. [addsig]

1041730 Thanks for the info on the axle swap. As far as the engine goes, most of the offroad I see is MUD. The ability to spin tires to clean the tread is important. If I'm looking to go with 35's or 38's which engine would be better suited for mud play. I know the rest of the drivetrain...

1041804 Worst car had to be the 1985 1/2 Ford Escort. Found On Road Dead was a regular occurance. Hated the car. Went from that to a '89 Honda Civic...great little car. Wound up with 2 Honda Accords at once. Gave 1 to my 18 year old daughter for graduation; wife still drives the '91 with...

1041806 Can't answer the TJ part of the question. Sorry. There are some aftermarket gauges available from Quadratech or 4 wheel drive hardware. They are LED electronic items. Look kinda cool in a different sort of way . Have thought about switching to these myself as the speedometer can...

1041807 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The old saying goes that Jeeps are built not bought. Anyone asks, tell them you have a fund set up to buy 33" tires and would they like to contribute . It all takes time and money. Go ahead and spend it we'll make more. Either way enjoy your...

1041808 Had a chance to look at this CJ-5 (not a CJ-7 like I was told) this weekend. Body is in great shape. Has a 2" body lift, 4" suspension lift, Black Jack headers on an AMC 304. Carb is a Holly that has had a backfire go through it (does this trash it to the replacement point or can it...

1041837 Jack at Christmas is a great idea. Depending on the size tires you go with the factory "jack" may not help you if a tire needs changed. As for offroad, AAA doesn't make towing calls to the middle of a mudpit . Depending on who you wheel with (always a good idea do wheel as a...

1041838 We don't have emissions testing in midwest farmfields unless it is for cows . The title is clear and this is a go . Once I have the beast and sort things out I'll fill you in...stay tuned . Owner says 500 cfm Holley experienced a backfire. He is under the impression the carb...

1041868 Officially newer waves first to older. Same age, less mods goes first. My thought is at 55-65 mph going opposite directions makes for a net speed approaching 110-130 mph. Do you have time to figure all this out in the couple of seconds after you figure out it is a short wheelbase ...

1041869 Unh unh. Wifey's birthday is 21st and if I forget that she will have my Jeep. She thinks the statement "It's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand" fits me just fine Think of us poor Jeepers not in attendance while you are drooling. D [addsig]

1041879 Had to get it done...it's my only ride to work Amazing what can be accomplished when the pressure is on. Any idea why the PCV valve keeps popping out of the valve cover Do I need to try a new grommet? TIA for any suggestions. D [addsig]
