1041069 Just a side-note here, but I think it's pretty bold of QT and these other places to charge so much for the mounts as well as all the other stuff they sell. As a retailer of Jeep parts and a fabricator as well, I know that the mount kit costs about $8-$10 for the steel and about 1-2...

1041078 Sorry if I came on a little strong in my last post.... My trusty old compressor finally croaked and I was waiting for my new Hausfeld 80 Gal unit to show up. I've been "on the shelf" for a few days now because of that and I guess it got to me a little bit. To the business at...

1041079 Hey guys, I forgot to mention that I can also get all the sheet metal parts, including full length side panels, complete floor panels with all the supports (front & Rear). I haven't seen those listed on QT's or 4WD's site, but maybe I just overlooked them. A little background...

1041088 I think you'll be really impressed with the finish of the POR-15 as well as its durability. One tip though.... Shoot it instead of brushing it on. Especially if you'll be sand-blasting the frame down to bare metal. A basic spray gun from Sears will do a nice job, and for a few extra...

1041096 Smart move. Let us know how it goes.[addsig]

1041102 Installing power assist would definitely help with your problem, but it sounds like there are other problems too such as a restriction in one or more of your lines and/or proportioning valve. Could be that the drums and rotors weren't properly cleaned after being turned and installed...

1041117 Advance Adapters is the place to get the adapter, but hold onto your wallet. It aint cheap! None of their stuff is actually....[addsig]

1041136 Its been my experience that the boxed nuts inside the floor panel supports break free and just turn and turn and turn and turn, so there is only one way to get the bolts out and that's to cut them..... Once you cut them though, you're still boned because you're left with boxed nuts that...

1041223 (CJ-7's made 1976-1986) expensive, but worth it. All classics are. Yes, it gives a slightly rough ride, but what do you want?! It's a real jeep..... (YJ's made 1987-1995) dime-a-dozen (This is when Chrysler took over and the downfall of the Jeep began) (TJ's) Trying to recapture...

1041233 No, I know some people don't like the ride quality of their CJs..... Hell, I'm not crazy about it either for that matter, but that goes with the territory. It's not only the positive points about a vehicle that make it special, but its flaws as well. For example, people who drive old...

1041235 So we're all cool here. Excellent. [addsig]

1041289 Jeremy, Welcome to the world of Jeeps! $3000 might get you a decent, running CJ-7. Sure, the body won't be too pretty, but you should be able to find something fairly mechanically sound for $3000. Just be patient in your search, check the frame, floors, axle housings, etc very...

1041346 The sealant trick is really the only way to fix it once you've opened up the water jacket aside from taking it to a machine shop and letting them deal with it. Don't worry, the very same thing has happened to a lot of us and the sealant should work fine as long as you used the right...

1041620 Or if you're not comfortable with making your own spacer, take the VC to your local machine shop/fabricator and they'll make one up for you. Usually for a lot less than you would expect too.[addsig]

1041622 get a fluid drain pan, open the drain plug, drain the fluid, then open the fill plug and using a fluid pump, refill the transmission with fluid. By the way, if you have a T-4 or T-5, the manual calls for ATF which is rare for a manual transmission, but Jasper Engines & Transmissions...

1041669 Welcome to the world of the BBD, especially the computer controlled BBD. Bad stuff in general. The pre-1980 BBDs aren't all that bad actually..... The best thing to do is scrape a few bucks together and get yourself the Mopar MPI kit. I've done this on all my 258 CJs and for a few...

1041695 Your mechanic is right. Big Engine & Big Carb = Bad Fuel milleage no matter how well it runs. One major improvement in fuel economy can be made by installing a fuel injection kit on it. I'm pretty sure Holley makes one. I get 20-23mpg highway and around 17-18 in town with my 86 258...

1041727 Those "hoses and stuff" are vacuum lines, and yes, they're pretty important. Bob has a good idea, but an even better upgrade would be the Mopar MPI kit. [addsig]

1041728 Here's an idea...... How about a nice new set of Trailmax seats? I just got the thermal pros and they are so comfortable that I'm thinking of buying another set for my living room! But on a serious note, you can get a new set of seats that will be a direct fit for only a couple hundred...
