mount hi-lift? when putting on the new stabilizer, do you leave the piston compressed all the way or extend it at all?

My cj-5 front end and steering has a mind of its own. After replacing worn tie rod ends and connector arm from pitman to steering knuckle and front end allignment, I figured things would be straight. It still wanders constantly, is very difficult to keep straight, and its like there is no...

the arms to the wipers inside the windshield frame seem to be bending themselves out everytime i run them for about 30 seconds. I bend them back, just for them to work themselves back out of wak and sieze up. Any suggestions or has anyone had this problem? Thanks

Thanks for the intel. I had to pound out the hub bolts, but they were in super tight. The Haynes shows them as a one piece unit.

I'm doing the brakes on my 79 CJ5. i got new rotors and after romoving the locking hub and getting the old rotor off, i don't understand how to get the hub assembly the the locking hubs bolt to off of the old rotor! Is it all one piece? thanks

I have the same problem but i can fix it by turning the wheel back and forth until it locks. Make sure your wheel is locked in place, then the ignition should lock too. if not buy a new tumbler cylinder and crap, its cheaper then having you jeep stolen.

I know this has been asked a thousand times, but what kind of rub if any will i get from 32's on a CJ5 with a one inch body lift? I plan on a suspension lift soon but the tires are coming first. thanks

I'm putting on the kentrol sport cage extesion kit or whatever its called in my CJ5, (anyone who has worked with it will know what i mean) Anyhow, does anyone who has installed this have any tips for cutting the notches just right in the kicker bars that connect to the existing roll bar? I'm...

My 79 Cj5 has been sitting idle in the garage for over a year now while i have been doing the body work. Before i start it up this spring for the first time, what are the main maintance issues i need to tackle all around the the vehicle, IE: fluids, plugs, etc. I want to make sure everything is...

SPRING SPACERS I'd say put it in the middle for sure, and have fun shifting!

I am deciding what suspension lift to get for my CJ5 and it seems that the 4" rough country fits my budget best. Is this a quality product and does anyone have one on their rig? I need a product review. Thanks

Power steering pump trouble I used to be a frequent poster last year when i bought my CJ5, then i had to go to Iraq with the Army national guard in January. I actually saw some broke down CJs in an Iraqi army bone yard over there, I should have parted them out. But now I'm back and in the...

My CJ5, (258 6cyl) has been sitting in pieces for over a year and has not been moved or started in as long. Out of nowhere the power steering pump started leaking, got worse, and eventually dumped all fluid. I just thought it was wierd since it has been doing nothing but sitting. Does this soud...

1044543 That jeep is cherry! Is that the original red white and blue trim package and original top? As far as i know, super jeep was only a trim package like the renegade, meaning that the only difference between it and other CJ5s are the flashy stickers. Any body part or mechanical for a 73...

1044924 Wow, that is not nice at all, what a tease. Especially for Northeast OH residents like Baretta and myself. I'm in the same boat, CJ in pieces and 2WD ranger hates mud [addsig]

1044925 Wow, that is something else. You have really diversified this board. Thank you[addsig]

1044926 I'm Bob, I have a 79CJ5. Starting next week i will have more posts I'm sure because i start ripping it down. I appreciate the know how of fellow jeepers. Don't be fooled by the username, the Rengade sticker is only skin deep.[addsig]

1045407 Go to Austinjeeps.com, they have the original black gauge cover on that sight somewhere. [addsig]

1045913 Thanks for the info. And Yes, i was going to paint them the color of my Jeep. [addsig]

1046028 I am dealing with the exact same problem now. Not enough cash right now to get a fiberglass body. Barretta speaks the truth . The diamond steel wrap around for the the rear is a beautiful thing since i''m not very talented in body work . I'm patching the holes and bad spots with...
