Since this group has become plagued with disease, Where do you guys/ gals post now? It was always great how friendly and helpful everyone here was. It's a damned shame to see what has become of it. I can't believe that there's no way to trace back what ISP that crap is coming from.. Is there no...

A while back I ask here about changing the differential gear ratio in my 2002 TJ, 4.0 (had installed a 4" lift and 33" tires, need to change gear ratio) It has been a while since messed with this , got married in there somewhere, and also lost the thread. Anyway I do remember that basically...

I currently do not have a 4WD but have front wheel drive car instead. I want to sell the car and get a 2WD vehicle such as van. However.... I am a bit concerned abt going back to rear wheel drive in a van. I was thinking..... if a person carried a kit of say a set of easy on/off tire chains, a 12...

Ok guys don't laugh to loud. I have a 1976 AMC Hornet Sportabout with a 232 the car is a tank we love use it for camping mostly. We take it places our friend can't or won't take their newer trucks or suv's and it has a larger cargo space then most of their suv's. The engine is getting tired and I...

I'll be heading out at the end of the month from Seattle, WA to Richmond, VA. I've got a stop in Idaho, Reno, Vegas, the Grand Canyon, and of course, Kate's place! Anyhow, I'll probably be traveling alone in my 99 'vert Mustang. I had a friend that was planning on coming, be he cannot afford...

We went out for a drive yesterday. Just turned left and went until we turned right, Got lost in the beauty that is all around where we live. We happened upon a road that we HAD to take; www.selby.ws/road.jpg it was long and windy and we took some offroad spots and found some hidden places but...

Got the trans pulled out of my 89 YJ, now trying to remove the flywheel for surfacing. It doesn't show any signs of being burned, grooved, rutted, or pitted, however it is shiny. Does it need to be surfaced? Six 3/4" bolts hold the flywheel on, and the flywheel just cranks the engine over when I...

Hi All, I want to install an engine oil temperature gauge on my '01 TJ without having to drill a hole in the oil pan. What is the easiest way of doing this. One of the local shops here suggested perhaps putting a tee on the oil pressure hole on the block and see if it works. I thought I should...

Does anyone have a spec sheet on the CJ7 frames? I have a 1984 wide track frame if that makes a difference. I have been donated a frame and axles that I would like to use but I need to verify that it isn't racked or bent or out of square in anyway before I invest a lot of time in the...

Hip Hip Hooray! Good riddance to bad rubish.

Gentlemen, I'm having some problems tracking this down. When I accelerate hard or get up to a certain RPM (about 3000) at cruising, I get popping coming out of my exhaust & a huge lack in power. The engine has never stalled, but I can't go any faster in that gear due to the misfiring. I've done...

In a recent post from Bill, he remarked about my hotmail address. I in turn said something about his having an AOL account. It came across as I was belittling people who use AOL for being novices. Bill claims to be so very internet savvy, so I was, in a way, comparing the two. I apologize to...

When you have a choice, it is always best to pull with your vehicle in a forward gear. That is, pull in Drive instead of Reverse. The gears in the diff are cut in a manner to make them stronger going forward than backward, you need to leverage this design consideration instead of ignore it. When...

First off, thanks to Mike Romain and DougW for thier input and help previously. It's been a while, so if you do not remember, that's cool. Doug might remember putting up pictures I posted on his website of my post-accident '93 GCL (red). Here is the saga since my last post... Would you believe I...

The lift on my tj right now came with 1 inch transfer case drop spacers, and only replaced the lower control arms for the front and back. I had the SYE kit added and a pair of adjustable upper rear control arms added so I could get rid of the spacers and adjust my pinion angle. It has a cv...

Several of you ask "Did you get the dual top option?" You guys were laughing your M-Fing ASSES OFF! We just finished wrestling the soft top on. Sonofafeathepluckingboingdyboingdybeeach! Damn, I'll be glad when this thing stretches out, it's tighter than a duck's butt.

Hey group, I've been lurking around here and posting the odd time... I'm sure it may have been done before but I would love to see a thread with people posting a link to their Jeep...stock, modified, big or small I'd love to see them all... Here are mine 2003 TJ (HIS)w/ 3" ProComp suspension lift,...

Does anyone have any ideas why diesel is selling at or above premium gasoline?

So, my wife is pregnant. Now, I'm facing the terrible situation of possibly having to let my 97 TJ Sahara be put up for sale. My wife hates driving the TJ and I'm not sure I feel comfortable having the baby in there either. So, what to do? Any advice from people who've made it through with...

This is a request for Subaru, Jeep, Toyota, etc. to produce something like the old Subaru Brat, which was essentially a 4WD car with low range gearing. With today's engine technology it could get gas mileage in the low to mid 30s on the highway, while having true off-road capability. Today's...
