I still have my orig soft top that came with my 97; but its been in the attic for a few years since buying the hardtop; had I not done that, I know that I would have had to replace the soft one before that winter. Thread is starting to unravel in a couple of spots. On a related note what is a...

I wasnt very happy when my wife was rear ended while driving our TJ; but to hear my wife tell me that the whole (plastic) front end was laying on the roadway off of that Infiniti QX56 that hit her, (probably more typical of what someone writing for CR would drive) I laughed my azz off!

the biggest PITA is the 12 point heads on the bolts (a torch helps there; a real one at taht with oxygen and acetylene; a hand held propane job is a joke) if you were closer I'd say bring it over; they take me about an hr a side, and that's on jackstands. no press needed. and if you paid more...

plenty of wrecked Grand Cherokees around to donate their 318s. and being the same company you might have to outsource less than you think. Dakota v6 and V8 stick transmissions are the same as jeep stick transmissions except the bellhousing meaning no hassle with T case placement or driveshaft...

What about those of us that BUY Jeeps because we WANT a simple vehicle with less "excess baggage" to break? All cars need work periodically; all of em (whether their snob owners like to admit it--or not) and Jeeps are simple to do that work on, and again alot of stuff on Jeeps, that simply...

easy; once you get the right one

never had a "good" goodyear yet.

exactly the swap I was wanting to do when I had my YJ (but the wife wanted something bigger; so I got the XJ for her to drive; when we had the 2 Wranglers, the TJ was "hers" and I was the one to put up with the underpowered 2.5 while she had the 4.0) I like the XJ other than the "extra" doors...

Oh my Gawd; when did they get that expensive... I mean they used to be like $10-12.

I have 2 Jeeps that I need to know what drive gears should be in there; one XJ and the other a TJ; both '97 models. 1) TJ, 4.0, AX 15, 3.07s, 235/75-15s stock size was 215/75-15. I have had a few tickets in this thing in the 10 years I have had it, and the ****tards always write me for a...

I recently was in on a front axle replacement on my buddy's XJ. his old (wreck damaged) housing was a "low pinion"; the JY replacement is a "high pinion"; 1) did they offer both styles of axle, in a TJ? 2) for the same gear ratio, does "hi pinion" or "lo pinion" make a difference as far as...

but again; from 4.56 to 4.88; little or no difference noticeable. I have 3.07s as well; I don't 'wheel it much (mostly have 4WD because I live in the country and we do get a bunch of snow here) with 235/75/15 tires my 5th gear is about useless. and my Wrangler with the 3,07s is worse on fuel...

is there a chart somewhere that related tire size, gear ratio and speedo drive gear size?

he went from 3.73s to 4.56s; and didnt seem to notice a change; I doubt that going from 4.56s to 4.88s would be much change either. Certainly not enough (to me anyway) to be worth the expense. also what are the plans for those old 3.73s? gonna sell em?

That very well could be the case; made of a different material. if so I may well be looking for a set of "sahara" ones as they were all body color. what about the aftermarket wider ones? are they paintable? (OK OK I mean will paint stick to them for more than 6 months?)

I know taht he used the adhesion promoter and the hardener. as far as "quality shop" it was but it was a school; and the teacher, in taking them to paint for me, said that he was leery of the type of plastic taking to the paint that well; he even called PPG and asked them for their...

because it just WILL!

No, the Saharas were body color.

350 Shivvy?:shock::bomb::crazy::?| sell em and put either a Mopar 360, Big Block 383-440 or an AMC 360/401 under that hood.

plain ol' Rustoleum? that would have been cheaper than the qt of paint I had mixed. (I did the top, the bumpers etc too; which are all holding up fine) the guy that did this called the paint co and asked; he himself is a body shop instructor at the local career ctr and because this is such a...
