Wow, great links and information guys, thanks a bunch. I'm not skilled enough to do all the electrical testing but I have a buddy who is, so that info will come in handy. Thanks again!

Guys, I posted this question over in the Electrical section, got a handful of viewers, but no responses; so, I thought I'd post it here in hopes of someone reading it with experience/advice to share: I have an '85 CJ7 (6-cylinder) with a fuel gauge that does not work. I don't want to pay a...

Hey Guys, I have an '85 CJ7 (6-cylinder) with a fuel gauge that does not work. I don't want to pay a shop to replace it (they have looked at it and said the sending unit and tank are okay, just needs a new gauge), but I am not exactly sure how to go about doing it myself. I really don't want...

Sorry, guys, I think I should have been more clear in asking my question. I want to tow the Jeep using a tow bar, which I have (5000# weight limit), and my Dad's Explorer (V8 engine, with I think about a 5000# tow weight limit, too). However, the hitch on the Explorer has the 3500# tow weight...

Hey Guys: I have a 1985 CJ7 with the 6-cylinder engine, and no hard top. The tires, I believe are either 30 or 31 x 10.5 (I don't know for certain, and the Jeep is out of town, otherwise I would check), so they add some weight over the stock tires. Can someone tell me approximately what it...

Hi Guys: I have a problem with my '85 CJ7. A couple days ago, I saw a whole lot of transmission fluid on the garage floor under the Jeep. Since I'd gotten it a year ago, it had an occasional, slow leak which I had dealt with by periodically topping it off. Anyway, it is now a big...

I would like to post a pic but don't know how. Is it simple enough for someone to briefly explain it to me or can I email a pic or two to somebody who would do it for me? Thanks in advance...

Hey Guys: I can't lower the tailgate on my '85 CJ7. Due to the age and condition of some of the vehicle when I got it, I figure there was maybe some rust inside the hinges. It did lower, though with some resistance. Now that I have painted it, I cannot lower the gate. I scraped off the...

Sounds like a good, fair deal. I guess I need to measure the height of all four letters (or at least three, since there are two "e's") as the "J" is a cap and the "p" will be "taller" than the "e," right? Also, do I need to measure the width of each letter?

Hi Guys: Been a while since I have been on the forum here. I have been busy shaping up my '85 CJ7. I am just about done and when I am, I will try to post some pics of the finished product. Anyway, when I acquired the vehicle the "Jeep" lettering on the sides just forward of the doors was...

Sorry, but you must be mistaken as I do not have one for sale. There was a guy in San Antonio with one (I forgot his name). Do a search back about 4 or 5 weeks and you should find it. Good luck.

No, but it looks like I will not need one. Thanks for checking, though!

Yeah, droopey, I tried that tonight and it worked--thanks a lot!

Yeah, I did thin it with acetone. It was a very humid day, which may have affected it. But, the more I think about it, I figure maybe I should have cranked up the pressure on the compressor, maybe to 80 or 90 psi. Anyway, while it did not turn out as expected, the texture is kind of cool. I...

:???: Okay, now that I have my bedliner material applied, I have another issue/question. I unbolted the seat belt retractor housing/gizmos from the interior of my CJ7 prior to doing the bedliner, to get it applied behind the retractors. Now, I want to reinstall them, but I cannot get them in...

Well, I finally got around to spraying the liner in my tub yesterday. I went with the Duplicolor product, figuring at half the price of the Herculiner, it was a gamble worth taking. I can always buy a spray can or two more to touch up/add depth, if needed. Anyway, I sprayed it in, and it did...

Anyone have a passenger side windshield hinge that would fit my '85 CJ7? Mine broke yesterday when I was trying to lower the windshield to replace the cowl strip. Doesn't need to be stainless, fancy, or new, just functional. Thanks, Crusader

For those of you who have sprayed the bedliner material in your Jeep (I am doing the compressor method), how should the surface be prepped? I know some folks have said to use Scotch Brite pads to "scuff it up," and prep it until you are think you're through and then do it again, but what should...

I'm somewhat interested, but I think your location and my budget are seriously limiting factors!
