The alignment is a step in the right direction, but what sort of lift and/or shackles do you have? Most of the problems you are describing can stem from zero or negative caster angle. If you have a suspension lift and/or lifted shackles this will impact your caster angle. As for a wide track...

I used Eastwood products on the current project. I wire brushed/ sanded the exterior and used Eastwoods internal frame coat. It's a spray can with hoses that you feed into the vent holes. I used four cans (really 3 would have been enough). It turned the inside a greenish/red and is a plastic...

You're going to find that a replacement crank is next to impossible to find, I went through that this past summer. It was faster ( but still costly) to just have mine re-ground. I may be slightly ahead of you, but that will end this Wednesday. I'm going in for a full rotator cuff surgery. The...

I missing the photos of the pistons, that is rod bearing that's all mangled up. You definitely need the crank shaft checked and it will likely be re-ground. Normally, I'd say to check the piston's wirst pins, connecting rods for trueness, etc, but I'm willing to bet you'll be getting the block...

I think you're reffering to the main bearings or the rod bearings? They are worn for sure and based on the other photos, the PO's were not big believers in oil changes. You'll want to send your crank out for machining as well if you have not already done so. Much like yourself, I'm in the...

You can get a bench bleeding kit from most auto parts stores (it's just 2 plastic threaded hose barb fittings and 2 short pieces of hose) or of you have the old brake lines, you can cut them about 5-6" below the threaded ferrules and carefully bend them back to the fluid reservoir. You basically...

Did you bench bleed the master? Sometimes you'll need to open the poppet on the protioning valve.

The body mounts are sold in kits normally........ Check Quadratec, Morris 4X4, etc. I got a really good deal on mine from Amazon!

I'm no an expert by any means, especially with the newer motors, but for whatever reason your coolant is not circulating properly. The fact at your trans is over-heating is a dead give away. The auto-trans cooling lines run through the radiator....Hence the error code/message. I like Tom's...

You know.... I second what Terry said! We are here to help each other and learn. Not make someone else look bad or doubt their advice. Just my two cents....I'll get off the soap box now...

Like Flatie46 mentioned, it's going to take a big compressor to supply enough air for the blaster, not to mention the mess it will make. If you're only going to use these tools for this job, the sanding disks (Terry mentioned), an assortment of wire wheels and an angle grinder with a cut off...

First off, welcome to Jeepz! You have entered into what I believe to be the very best Jeep enthusiast site around. You may want to invest in three books that I can think of: 1. Haynes manual, 2. Chilton manual and 3. Jeep CJ Rebuilders Manual by Moses Ludel. All three can be found online. The...

Not sure what an avengers supercharger is? Is it a dynamic or positive displacement type supercharger? Regardless of supercharger (dynamic or positive) or turbocharger, each has it's trade-offs as you are aware. What do you plan to use the Jeep for I think is a better question?

So this is a similar problem to the one describe in CJ/YJ/JK section: 88 YJ Fuel Pump Issue. Kudos Mark for your trouble shooting efforts, not many folks go to that extreme! There are a couple of things that come to mind. I’d be inclined to follow 69jeepCJ’s advice of a rebuild kit, if for...

Hey Greg…… Long time Bro! I like your thinking… But consider this: Theoretically, no the Weber would not drain into the ventrui from the bowl….. But anything is possible???? All Weber down draft carbs have an emulsion tube (E-tube) on each circuit that is at open atmosphere. In terms of fluid...

That is quite the setup...... To the best of my knowledge, the 258 didn't come with an external electric fuel pump and certainly not with both electric and manual. It sounds like you have more than one issue. If you research the Weber, I'll find that the electric pump is the way to go. I would...

Thanks Terry!!!!

At this stage, I have removed everything from the chassis. The tub has had some repairs to it, the firewall, fender wells and area under the dash have been coated with bedliner as well. The under-carriage seams have been sealed and fully undercoated. The frame needed to have two of the body...

Thank you Sir! Means even more coming from a friend.

Hello Everyone! I've been busy with my restoration project of what started life as a 1986 CJ7 Laredo. I figured I'd take a few minutes and upload some photos. It's hard to tell by the starting photos but the two owners before me loved this Jeep. 27 years of use, storage and for the past few...
