    The wonderful carter carb

    I've got both. The weber runs like a scalded dog but as you mentioned is quite a bit more expensive. The weber also is supposedly hard to tune, but I can't verify whether or not that's true as I've never fooled with mine. Mine gave me no problems for about 5 years and still runs great, but I...

    T176 stuck in first gear

    Glad I could help. My T176 did that about 4 days after I got the Jeep and luckily I had a buddy who previously had the same problem so he knew how to fix it. Before mine locked up it also had a kinda sideways feel when going in and out of reverse. I got the "Shifter lever repair kit" and that...

    T176 stuck in first gear

    Take off your shift boot, take off the boot on the bottom of the shifter. Where the stick goes down into the tower there is a dome shaped piece that hold the shifter in place. Push down on this dome shaped piece and rotate it counterclockwise about 1/4 turn and the stick/dome shaped...

    Hard top from a CJ7 to a wrangler?

    You'll have to open the liftgate on the top first (which is not easy with a spare in the way) THEN you can open the tailgate. You can grind the bottom of the liftgate on the top out so the tailgate will open without opening the liftgate on the top, but you'll have a little gap there and it will...

    AMC Model 20 differential problem

    Sounds like you spun a hub on an axle. It's really common with the stock AMC20 rear axles. You have an splined axle shaft and the hub slips up on the splines. Weak design and a lot of times the splines will give and you get an axle that spins in the hub. If you jacked the jeep up off the...

    A Duck For Sale!!!

    We had one in Hot Springs that sank a few years ago (sightseeing duck) and a few people drowned. Lots of lawsuits from that one. Another guy had a BUNCH of these things he fixed up and used for duck (waterfowl) hunting on the Mississippi river. He had about 4-5 working ones and about twice...

    Vandals Suck

    yeah we caught our local tire shop manager throwing nails out around the granary. The truckers who were hauling the grain were *****ing about getting flats all the time so we started lurking at night and sure enough the douche drives through and throws out a handful of roofing nails.... He...

    Big Box Mart

    You do make a good point. You will not find any cheap chinese tools in my toolbox, you will not find any cheap chinese pots/pans/utensils in my kitchen. I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" in MOST cases. BUT WM is hardly the only company that is carrying a large amount of...

    Big Box Mart

    I'm not criticizing your decision NOT to shop there, in fact, I suggested that to people who do not like WM's business tactics. If you suggest that Walmart is "The great satan" to me, however, I will point out that they are not. They're another company in business of making money. Nothing more.

    Big Box Mart

    So what about Kmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes, McDonalds, Coke, or any other hugely succesful business? When any business is that successful it will be at the expense of some other business. My local hardware store (which was WAAAY overpriced but did have some items not available at WM) was...

    Big Box Mart

    No one is forced to do business with WalMart and no one is forced to work there either. People always demonize any company that is hugely succesful. It's a free country, shop elsewhere, work elsewhere, and don't sell them your products if you think they're gonna screw you. No offense but I...

    Shock Absorber preferences

    RE: My jeep from space Yep, ES3000's are what I bought new and have on one jeep. I hate them. I have RS5000's on the other jeep and I like the ride. Don't have any idea how old they are; they were on the jeep when I got it.

    back up lights not turning on

    Re: RE: Aging Jeep- For 2000 and up jeep owners What transmission do you have? T176 4 speed is on top of the transmission next to the shifter and the T4/T5 (crooked shifter) is on the drivers side of the transmission. If you get a test light there should be power to the switch on one wire...

    2100 2150 throttle linkage.

    Re: I got hit..... and he ran! I got a factory throttle cable for an early 80's CJ7 with a V8 and it snapped right into place on my 2150 and works fine. I didn't want to try rigging something up so I thought I'd try it and it worked fine. Derm over on JU was the first person to mention it...
