    Brake Lights not working, everything else is!!!

    Not completely related, but I'm having the same issues with a '96 Explorer. Fuses, brake light switch, etc is good. I have power(checking with testlight) going into the stoplight switch, and power coming out when pedal is depressed. From there, the wire gets lost in a huge bundle of wires under...

    Roof rack on hard top

    Looks nice! Girlfriend has a wrecked '96 exploder she picked up for parts, for her 'good one'. Besides the rear axle, I now have to buy the roof rack off her! But, just wondering why you used tapping screws? Could a person use regular bolts? I don't think I like the idea of the pointy screws...

    Roof rack on hard top

    Keep us updated. I too am interested in a setup like this. My biggest concern is the strength of the top, and how I could spread out the load, on the rack mounting points, so the hardtop doesn't crack.

    How many?

    5 Best one is the current Jeep. One I wish I still had, was a '72 Jimmy, 350 4speed, on 31x10's. Crude, highly capable, and went through hell without breaking. Kept surprising me every time out. One I'm so happy is gone, '77 F-250, 400 auto, also on 31x10's. Plain and simply useless...

    dicuss about china products

    I was just gonna say the same thing about Japan, but ya beat me to it! I remember back in the late '60's, early '70's, any tool you bought from there was cheap. But they'd either bend, or snap. Absolute junk! Most anything else from there, was the same. Cheap to buy, but really, shoulda been...

    Looking into doing this swap. What years 4.0 head do I look for? I'll be staying with a carb, at least for now. What other things will I need to do, and look for?

    jeep keeps dyin out of no where

    Not too many suggestions to help you out here, so here's my 2 cents. Too me, sounds like a possible ignition module. Fords were notorious for this symptem. And I believe a lot of Jeeps used the Ford ignition system. A way to check it out is, next time it dies, pour some cold water over the...

    YJ in -30Celcius

    It's not a issue of producing heat. It blows hot, and lots of it. It's the heat loss that's gonna become a concern. 60 MPH down a highway at -30, sucks heat away FAST!

    YJ in -30Celcius

    Lol! Nope! Not quite that old.....yet. Workin' at it though! Ok. Good to hear. Still gonna rig up the auxillary heater too though. I just keep remembering when it was around 0Celcius(freezing mark), how the Jeep lost heat out on the highway. If it's too much heat, bummer. I can shut them down...

    YJ in -30Celcius

    It's not the winter maintainance, block heaters, oils, antifreezes, etc I'm worried about. 45 years in this climate, I got it figured. But, it's me! Getting wimpy in my old age! :lol: Wanna be warm when I trek out for a few hours, without dressing like an eskimo. Anyway, thinking it 'should' be...

    YJ in -30Celcius

    Ok, here's the deal. A little while back, found this '89 YJ for pretty cheap. Plan was, I'd buy it, and re-sell to make a couple bucks. But...............I LIKE IT TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(go figure!) So now I'm thinking I may keep it, and sell the Dakota that I'm making payments on. But, my...

    87 cherokee for 800 bucks?

    Passed on it. Not a straight panel on it. Fair amount of rust. Oil leaks all over. I knew it was a high miler, but 550,000 KM's(337000 miles)? Would'a still considered it, but he wouldn't budge from $800. So........let it go.

    YJ in rough shape. Parts catalog?

    The more I look at my Jeep, the more I find wrong. May not have been such a great deal after all! Drive train is awesome, but the body is pretty bad. Does anyone have an actual O.E. parts catolog they can download, or a website that I can go to? My floor pans have holes rotted through, and the...

    87 cherokee for 800 bucks?

    So basically, just the more or less normal stuff? I was kinda looking for info too, on what diffy's, trans, or trans case, etc may be the better ones. Not sure what different stuff came in these things! Also, whats the different 4WD systems? IE: quadratrac, etc.
