    My 1988 wrangler -- a few questions

    Wrangler Value

    Thanks guys. The reason this jeep interests me is that i live in Daytona Beach -- and the price of a jeep is usually on the HIGH scale down here -- and it is very difficult to find a non-modified, "normal" jeep with such a solid body and frame. I do not care for a 4 cyl with that many miles...

    Wrangler Value

    Help! short? wont start! i wonder what a 1988 Wrangler with a 4 cyl and 110,000 miles is worth. Is $1800 a good price? Body is solid, the floors are solid, the frame has no rust. Engine sounds good. Good tires -- 31x10.50. Needs maybe new paint job. Is $1800 a reasonable price?

    Started My 1" Body Lift

    Well, I have decided to go with a 1" body lift. I started to take the bolts out on the drivers side, and everyone has snapped. Now, I guess I will have to drill the remainder of the bolt out. My question -- will a drill bit take care of this, and is it easier to go from under the jeep or...

    Yes -- another lift question

    ok -- maybe a two inch is better. What my aim is -- i was given some 35" tires, and this is what i am trying to get on my jeep. I also like the 'look.' Also, I forgot to say that my jeep is an automatic -- will that cause any problems. Will a one inch lift and maybe shackle lift make a...

    Yes -- another lift question

    I am on a limited budget and am thinking of putting a three inch body lift on my 1980 cj7. The body lift kits listed in Quadratrac say that with the three inch I will not require any shock, spring, or driveshaft changes. Is it that simple -- just put the spacers on and I will not have to...

    Thermostat and Autozone and a Question

    Thanx everyone for all the advice. My jeep finally is running great -- no overheating. I just finished (it is now 3 in the morning) because I have become obsessed with fixing this problem. Because I could not get to any store so late at night, and because I had a thermostat at home already...

    Buying an older jeep vs a newer jeep

    1069364 This is the first jeep i have ever bought, and i paid $1600 for it. It has a bikini top, and half canvas doors, and not much more. The frame seems pretty good, the body needs some work, and i have plain old wheels with 31" tires. It has fainted paint and a couple of rust holes above...

    1069519 By George, I actually put the water pump in all by myself!!!! And all you guys are right, I haven't even registered my jeep yet and I am having a whole lot of fun just working on it. I experimented with painting my jeep. I tried the spay paint way. I tried it on my tailgate to see...

    Hockey Puck Body Lift

    1069736 A stupid question I am sure, but once I get all the body mounts lose, how do I lift the body off the frame to get the hockey pucks in? Is there a trick to doing this? Should I do one side and then the other, or to I get the whole body up off the mounts? Thanx.[addsig]
