    It wasnt' that bad except for getting the linkage for transfer and shifter right. The spacer they gave for shifter had to be cut down to clear the console and go into 1 3 and 5 gear.

    can't do alignment on tj 03 wrangler

    I think the shop yesterday just didn't want to mess with it. Hopefully I'll get some good news back today. That sounds good about the ball joints and even if I have to get the axle housing it still sounds fixable huh?

    can't do alignment on tj 03 wrangler

    I bought this 03 wrangler knowing it had been wrecked in the right front but all seemed well. I went to get an alignment and the guy said he couldn't do it because the frame was bent and the knuckles were out too many degrees....isn't this a part on the axle and repairable. I took it to a frame...

It's clean and appears not to have been ragged out. 120,000 miles and the guy wants $6900 for it. I am wondering what kind of milage to expect and if this is a decent price? He has...

    soft half top for 82 cj7

    I think that's what I'll do. I have soft doors but believe with imagination and a little welding I can fabricate some latches for them. I put a new top on a couple of years ago but every time it goes on and off it's a little worse for wear. There aint' no such thing as being warm in there...

    RE: Spring compatability It was a washer that goes between the small differential pinion gear and differential case. I don't know that it might have been in the differential case for awhile and finally worked it's way between the gears. Any way it had and the way I relieved it was to back the...

    82 cj7 rear end trouble

    After studing the diagram in the manual the only thing it can be is the spacer/washer that sits on top of the pinion gear. I rember when I had it apart that they were kinda hard to get to stay put when sliding the gears together. I am going to try backing the bolts out of the bearing caps and...

    Nope it wasn't the brakes...that would have been too easy. I can take my hand and reach over the spider gears and feel something about the size of a tin can lid in between the spider gears and the pinion gear. All I can think of is a shim has come out and got between them, but I don't know how...

    Although I am at work I've been thinking about this all day. I looked in the housing and did not see any thing visible without tearing it apart but remember hearing a noise when backing up that may be the rear brakes. I am wondering now if it's possible that I have a brake seized thats the...
