    Best Carb to buy for the 258

    1.08 MC2100. I wouldn't go much bigger than 350 cfm. It would run awfully rich.

    making a CJ5 into a CJ7 question

    Oh. Being 5'9", I don't worry about legroom often. In fact, lately I have been craving a Miata or Spitfire.

    Supercharger vs. Turbocharger

    Turbos look like snails.

    making a CJ5 into a CJ7 question

    I don't think you'd gain any legroom. You'd gain some storage space, though.

    Man, I wish I had the tools to make my own cage. This is a great write up. Looks great!

    Jeep hard 1/2 Top

    I am pretty sure that a half top from a CJ8 can be mated up to a pre 82...? CJ7. Whatever year it was before AMC put in the roll bar that went to the floor. So in other words, that top wouldn't work for your 86. Sorry, Chief.

    If you want lowdown torque, why not get a small diesel?

    304 fuel mileage

    I was getting 13 to 15 mpg on a 16000 mile reman 258. Turns out I was putting it in overdrive at 55... 1400 rpm. After I started working on it, I realized that 2100 was where I should have been cruising. With my old gearing, at 2100 I would have been going 82mph! I'm in the process of getting...

    The Jeep wave...

    I haven't driven my Jeep in so long, I forget the fun of the wave. One time, this guy in a somewhat built YJ stuck his head out the side, smiled and waved like a mad man. That was funny. There's this one lady who drives a yellow TJ with a hood bra. She never waved. She looks like a...

    Some "handy" work.

    I made two holes right by the rear angle. I was actually thinking about adding a couple more. It's nothing a torch and reamer can't fix. Luckily, my tank is plastic, so it's just fine and shouldn't "leak" rust on the inside. As far as POR-15 goes, I painted some stuff with it, but I must not...

    Some "handy" work.

    Wow, I didn't know you could zoom in like that. There you can see the booger welds on the shackle eyelets in the bottom right picture. I'm glad I fixed those. I'll be making a front bumper soon, too. It'll probably be 2x4 inch rect. tubing. I'll also be finishing up some home brewed rocker...

    Some "handy" work.

    Ok, I thought I would show some of you guys the junk I've made for my Jeep. The gas tank skid came together very well. I was very surprised how it turned out. It turned out not to be much less than a new "shroud" because I had the metal company cut it for me. However, this is 1/8 inch steel, so...
