I replaced my transmission mount and the torque arm bolt and bushings. Now a have a vibration when I down shift to slow down. Any ideas??? Also, how tight am I supposed to tighten the torque arm bolt? I tightened it until the top bushing was slightly squished. The bottom bushing has a...

Yeah my 2000 TJ did that as well, I sold it before I could find out what was wrong with it. I did the whole smack the dash thing and that did cure it for a while. Probably in the wiring harness like someone else mentioned. Give your dash a little tap next time it happens.

Thanks for the advise!! I just had a new exhaust put on, and had them turn the pipe to the side but it is behind the tire, not in front of it. I only have a muffler and a resonator on the exhaust.

I just bought an 83 CJ7 and the exhaust smells like gas and, well... exhaust. More than usual though. I know a few people who own CJ's and thiers dont smell as much as mine. Every time I drive it I have to change clothes because Im saturated by the time I get home. The Jeep runs and idles...

Re: North and South Man, I just want more power. Can it really be done without a v8 swap? What do I need, maybe a new catback, K&N intake and a chip. Is that all I can do for the most part? And would all that increase power as well as fuel economy? Thanks!

Thanks, Ill dig around back there and see if I cant find anything.

RE: Re: RE: Stupid ground hog I was driving when suddenly the speedometer and tachometer guages quit working. The engine light and the airbag light also came on. I initially thought the alternator was dying and I was loosing guages and power. That is not the case. The Jeep runs fine. The...

thanks ill check it out. there werent any screws in the cup holders. no insert either.

RE: I know it is personal preference but... I am having someone spray my tub with Line X tomorrow and I am trying to strip as much out of the interior as possible. Does anyone know what the secret is to removing the center console. I removed the four screws near the main compartment and I...

thanks for the replies

What does a factory hardtop weigh? Im making a hoist and I figure I should probably have an idea of how much weight ill be lifting. Thanks!

All I know is that the larger you go in tire size, the slower your Jeep becomes and the engine and transmission will have more strain on them. Unfortunately I have no experience with a 4 Cyl so I dont know if it will handle the 31's fine or not. Hopefully you will get some more replies. Good luck

RE: How do I take the doors off? so say my tires were actually 33", which gear of the two (32 or 31) would give a slower speed? thanks

RE: Selling my Jeep.... Ive checked several charts and some say 31 teeth and some say 32 teeth for 33's and 3.73 ratio. Does anyone know for sure which one is accurate? Thanks!

RE: CJ5 Lift thanks for the info and advice

here is the whole story. something was bent on my stock d30 and my camber was noticeably off. i bought a used d30 with 3.73 gears to swap out my front axle. i bought one with a 3.73 because my stock 3.07 wasnt cutting it with 33's. I was told by a majority that a 3.73 would be sufficient for...

Re: RE: Questions To Ask Yourself Today A shop told me I had to get a different carrier for my d35 in my 2000 TJ to go from 3.07 to 3.73 ratio. He quoted me around 80 some odd dollars for an open carrier and 230 some odd dollars for a limited slip. I said go ahead with the limited slip (or...

I agree about those bfg all terrains. if you are not going to do any serious off roading those are great tires. ive had them on 2 of my vehicles. If you want mud terrains, Pro Comps are great for the money. 15x8 wheel with 33's are a very common setup. As far as the lift goes, I put the 4"...

RE: Zipper on a soft top? Right on, do it yourself and save 500 bucks. I had little experience with suspensions and a buddy and I did mine.

If I bought a Bestop Safari top would I be able to leave that on and then throw my hardtop on. It would be nice to take the hardtop on and off without having to mess around with the safari top. Thanks!
