1045280 dude, i've been going through exactly the same thing. When i first bought my jeep, the rear PCV intake tube wasnt even connected to the air filter... it was just flopping around everywhere spilling oil and smelling really BAD. Kinda like a gas lawnmower After that, i started seeing...

1045777 I've got the borla and its not bad... Good quality constuction and you can tell by the sound that they are not using cheap materials. (nice deep growl) My only complaint is that the piping is all the same diameter as stock... I kinda wanted more flow and less backpressues on my...

1045813 quadratec doesnt cary parts for OEM hardtops. They only carry the besttop stuff (i already checked) [addsig]

1045815 Yeah, you're right... thanks.. Only $170... That's going to save me a TON of money Here's the explicit link. http://www.jcw.com/item.jhtml?ITEMID=9574[addsig]

1045853 Ummm... The radio antena on my CJ whistles like crazy... try looking at that too[addsig]

1045877 found it!! I went home from work early, and took a voltmeter to the electical, backtracing from the battery... My Red + battery cable was corroded through!!! I jiggled it a bit and my jeep came back to life... Looks like its time to make a field trip to the auto parts store and...

1045953 my borla is loud as hell, but then again, my cat converter's been removed... [addsig]

1045966 I just went through all this recently when i bought my '82 CJ7 which was almost ready for the scrapyard when i bought it. First off, check the frame thoroughly for rust. Keep in mind that with older jeeps, a certain amount of body rust is expected. Body rust is easily repairable...

1046082 I'm in... What do I need to do and who do i need to hurt?[addsig]

1046088 You know what? I just remembered... These are no good to me unless they come in metric... (I'm up here in canada, eh!)[addsig]

1048878 On a 4 speed you pretty much HAVE to be able to downshift into 1st on a regular basis. Keep in mind that the power band and gear ratios on a 4 speed are spread MUCH wider than on a 5speed. Downshifting to 1st if you are going less than 30km is perfectly fine, and with the absence...

1048973 I've been thinking about this as well, mostly due to the sheer amount of things in my jeep that are going to be needed to either upgraded or just plain replaced due to years of abuse. I found this interesting knowledge base article that deals with engine swaps in older jeeps...

1048978 torx bolts are amazing when you are using a drill to fasten/loosen things in a hurry... The heads on the bolts hardly ever strip and they seem to stay on the bit better... However keeping track of all the pieces can be a pain in the arse![addsig]

1054155 This may sound like a dumb question, but how are you starting it? Are you starting it by repeatedly keying the ignition while holding down the gas, or are you giving the carb time to get primed before keying the ignition. The reason I ask is that this is what I was doing when I first...

1054345 Here.. Read this, it may help you. http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/electrical/gauges/ Here's my suspicion... There is a short somewhere in the wiring for your oil pressure sending unit. If you say that it shows max EVEN when the sending unit is unplugged, then that would suggest that...

1054404 Hmm... Whats that in metric?!? I can tell you that 100km/h-120km/h runs about 2500-2600 on my 4.2l with borla catback (cat removed), weber carb, juicebox, bosch platinum sparkplugs, and timing set to about 8 BTDC. edited by: chinard, Feb 09, 2003 - 10:01 PM[addsig]

1054406 hmm... this may be getting a little off topic, chuck but you've perked my curiosity about this overlapping combustion stroke. Do you have anywhere i can look at on this? (Mostly just academic curiosity about how things work) :-D[addsig]

1055403 is the TJ axles that much wider than the CJ? Will i need to do anything special with the differnentials or is it a clean swap? Would i need to do anything to the suspension or ball joints? I'm trying to avoid spacers and offset rims for the simple reason that they place un-necesary...

1055454 I'll have to look into the wide trak/narrow trak on my jeep. I'm thinking that i probably have the narrow trak, but i'd have to measure to find out for sure. Anybody have the specs on how long the wide trak axles would be? I was already planning the flare extensions, thats why i...

1056692 Okay, peeps Time to resurrect a dead thread... :-D I finally broke down and got my tank replaced on my CJ-7 and what do you know... I now have a working fuel gauge!!! :-O :-O :-O They just replaced it with a used metal tank and replaced the sending unit. Of course the skid plate...
