An angle grinder with a wire wheel worked great for me. My 16 year old son is going to do the inside of his tub next week. We really liked POR 15, for the $ 120 you will spend on herculiner you could probabaly do what you need. The hurculiner will not convert the rust, it will only cover it, it...

I had to do quite a bit of work to the tub to get it where I wanted it, I cut out rust, patched the holes, put a body filler in to smooth it all out, wire wheeled the entire inside of the tub, applied por 15, and top coated with their hard nose 2 part paint, I also did the engine compartment...

If you are getting spark, and you are getting fuel, my money says it is timing. Get the timing mark to TDC, pull the distributer cap, it must point to #1 (or #6 if it is on exhaust stroke) get it as close as you can with an eye ball and then re-time it with a gun.

I have just about finished painting my project CJ 7, as I said befor I had some trouble with POR 15's hard nose paint, it set very fast and bubbled in several places where I had painted the inside of the tub. I called them today and they told me my trouble was caused by high humidity. The hard...

I just got through doing the POR 15 thing to my frame, engine compartment, and under body. It looks great! Your have to use a top coat on anything that will see the sun, the stuff is UV sensitive, I used their cassis coat. I did have some trouble yesterday with their hardnose paint, it bubbled...

My axel is stamped with a single B, 3.31's. I think I will have to run bigger tires, That Rubicon Express 4.5 inch lift sits 3 inches higher than the SkyJacker 4 inch lift on my sons. I called RE, they said it might settle a half inch or so but no more. My 31 inch tires look like those donut...

Speaking for myself, I like the 258, it has tons of usable torq, is very dependable, and gets pretty good gas mileage which means better range. I would drop a rebuilt 258 with a mild cam rather than fool with the head ache of adaptors wiring and all that with going to a V8. my 2 cents! Shawn...

Tug, Where you at? I am in Knoxville Shawn

Johnny, The SkyJacker settled about 1 inch (looks confusing in my post cause of question 2). My jeep is running a 258, I plan to drive it alot, not every day. I believe my gearing is 3.3 to 1. I want to change gearing eventually but I have sunk alot into this beast in the last 6 weeks, my wife...

massachusetts off-road trip Me and the boy installed a Rubicon Express 4.5 (domestic) on my 84 CJ 7 last night, Woa! it's up there! We put a 4 inch Sky Jacker on his (boy) 83 CJ 7 about 7 months ago and was not and is not nearly as tall (same size tires). I have a few questions for the board...

Hey All, I am new to the board, I got hooked on CJs about 8 months ago. I used to be and old bronco guy but when I got an 83 CJ 7 for my 16 year old boy we both got hooked, and BAD. We worked his over pretty good, got it running like a top, looks great too. Well he woulden't stop driving his...

I had that problem after installing lift, T-case lowering kit, and new shifter boot. I ended up buying another boot just like the one on t-case shifter, it is bigger and softer, I spun it around and screwed it in and it looks great. I also had to trim the back of the metal cover over the...

I chose to do the POR-15 stuff on frame, engine compartment and tub. They say the stuff is really tuff, we will see. The POR-5 is supposed to kill the rust, I worried about moisture and rust under the Rino lining. Good Luck!
