    My buddy is selling a pink 79 cj

    Thought I'd drop this here for folks and to help out my buddy. He's selling a 79 cj on ebay. Btw, this was not one of those grand canyon pink jeep tour things, but it IS a pink cj. :) Jeep : CJ : eBay Motors (item 300391305061 end time Feb-03-10 17:53:29 PST)

    Jeep won't start- In need of help

    Have you pulled the codes from the check engine light or hooked up and odb2 reader? when your check engine light is coming on, there's generally a procedure for finding out why. If you're odb2 then you'll need to plug an electronic reader into it, sometimes auto parts stores will loan these...

    Leaking power steering fluid though cap?

    look at the brain on brad! :) that's probably what was happening then because the old high pressure line had kind of a twist/crimp in it. It was super bad but it would definitely restrict flow. Oh well I'm not opposed to replacing parts that I don't trust, I'd much rather spend a little bit...

    where are all the roof racks?

    Well, I let you guys talk to me into a tire carrier :) I found a good deal on one with hi-lift mount, 2x jerry can mounts and a two position tire holder. The PO had it custom build and even though it's a bit on the heavy side, it's bullet proof. I did have to cut off the jerry can mounts and...

    Leaking power steering fluid though cap?

    So, I was on the trail last weekend, I'd stopped to check on something and when I got back in I turned the wheel to move back onto the trail and smoke POURED out from under my hood! I stopped it, got out, raised the hood and saw that the smoke was coming from right around where my valve cover...

    Leaking power steering fluid though cap?

    No, it actually ran almost dry, then I had to watch it and fill it about once every other day since then. So unless filling it to the appropriate spot on the dip stick is overfull, it's not that. It also blows out when it's at the very bottom of the stick (when I fill it)..

    Leaking power steering fluid though cap?

    I noticed after wheeling the other day that I had fluid dripping on my front diff. Further inspection revealed that it was power steering fluid. I looked all over for a leak but the only place that looked like it was really covered in it was the cap. Also, the fluid is spraying back into my...

    Mounting a swing out tire carrier

    Hi gang, I'm mounting my swing out tire carrier to my yj today and I'd like to see how other people have done it. Right now I'm leaning toward using the holes on the frame where the leaf spring shackle mounts are but I'm open to ideas. There are no mounts on the carrier now, just flat metal...

    where are all the roof racks?

    When you find a cheap Tig Welder, buy me one too.. I can't seem to find a good used tig welder for under $1500 My bad, meant mig of course. FYI, when my buddy went to buy our tig welder, they cut him all kinds of deals, I don't remember the price but all told it was about 50% off the list...

    where are all the roof racks?

    I've seen that thread, I don't want to mount to the actual top though, I'm going to run supports down the side and mount to the body in-between the hard-top and the body it's self. That way my hard-top is still removable.

    where are all the roof racks?

    I was wondering about it being top heavy, I think with tire and everything it's probably not more than a couple of hundred pounds, will that make much of a difference? The swing out tire carriers, which I see a TON of, seem to be about the same in price to a roof rack. Heh, and if I can make...

    where are all the roof racks?

    Since I bought my jeep I've had a plan to build a roof rack. I even have a fancy idea for making the front half of it removable to that I have the open space above me when I'm running without the hardtop on. I was going to start laying it out and buying metal this weekend and went looking for...

    Can you ID this carb?

    I pulled this weber carb off of my 89 yj 4.2L, it ran great but I've installed the howell tbi, so carb goes to ebay. BUT, I can't figure out what it is, I THINK it might be a 38 DGES but I'm not sure.. It has a few markings: on the front: a number 1 with a circle around it and Made in Spain...

    Roll over

    I'd like to point out something that was done wrong after the wreck (probably). They should NOT have gotten them out of the jeep and walked them down the hill. In a rollover like that, back and neck injuries are very common. I'm assuming since there was a chopper there, they called it in...

    Off road survival kit

    Hi gang, I'm new to jeeps but not off-roading, with my other vehicles I always carried a survival kit for doing emergency repairs. I typically carried extra u-joints, a selection of grade 8 and 5 bolts, misc screws and nuts, fuses, relays etc. The jeep being a new monster to me probably has...
