1069364 This is the first jeep i have ever bought, and i paid $1600 for it. It has a bikini top, and half canvas doors, and not much more. The frame seems pretty good, the body needs some work, and i have plain old wheels with 31" tires. It has fainted paint and a couple of rust holes above...

1069519 By George, I actually put the water pump in all by myself!!!! And all you guys are right, I haven't even registered my jeep yet and I am having a whole lot of fun just working on it. I experimented with painting my jeep. I tried the spay paint way. I tried it on my tailgate to see...

1075383 I have a 1980 cj7 with a 258. What would the average temperature be for driving around at about 50 mph. Mine is usually just below 180 degrees, but if I sit in traffic very long it starts to climb. Does taking out the thermostat help keep the temp down? New belts, new radiator, new...
