What if I tried going across the solenoid? I was told before that it should start if I did that. I tried it and still nothing. I guess I'm going to start by replacing it and hopefully it works. Thank you very much for your help Sent from my iPhone using Jeepz

Just replaced the battery and alternator in my 86 CJ7. When I turn the key I hear a click and then nothing. I've checked and rechecked all the connections. So do I go ahead and replace the starter and if so do I replace the starter solenoid while I'm at it. Thank you in advance for any help...

I'm not really worried about keeping it clean. That's the beauty of jeeps. No matter how crappy one looks, the yuppie in the beamer envies you. I think what I am going to do is paint it primer gray myself then have a body shop put a couple coats of clear on it. I don't exactly have the space to...

So I am trying to go ahead with my flat grey paint scheme but the only flat grey enamel I can find is primer. Does anyone know if there is a clear flat top coat that I could use over the primer or if there is a flat grey paint somewhere? Everything I've found has been gloss only. Any help with...

Popped my hood when I got home today and found a puddle of coolant on air cleaner cover and a hissing sound coming from what I believe to be the intake manifold gasket. Eng temp gauge never went above 190. Is this an immediate problem? Or can I still drive to work and back til Sunday as long as...

Currently my CJ 7 is red. Was thinking about flat black but my friend already has one. So I thought about flat grey and make dummy rivets along each gap on the body. Kind of making it like an aircraft. Rivets would be ever 3 to 4 inches apart. What do ya think? Good idea or not Sent from my...

I'm getting ready to rewire and install a fiberglass dash panel. I was going to cut the holes and paint the dash and get the gauges ready. From there I'm not sure if there is anything that would make it easier. Any tips or tricks from someone that's done it before would be greatly appreciated...

For a very long time I've wanted a jeep. Finally about 24 hrs ago a dream was realized! I finally have my 1986 CJ-7. Looking forward to learning from everyone on here and please forgive any stupid questions as I am a newbie.
