    Broke it on the trail today...

    Alright, I got the carb apart...and i do me completely apart...and found a myriad of problems. All is cleaned out now and back in. She's idling like never before! there was some mud in there, but i'm not sure if it made its way in there via the fuel tank or the intake. I'm leaning towards the...

    Broke it on the trail today...

    Ok, well I got the thing moving down the road again. The collar and the input shaft on the transmission were stuck together. Also, the clutch prongs had dried up mud jammed between them and the hosing, making them stay depressed all the time. I took a bead blaster to it and got all that cleaned...

    Broke it on the trail today...

    HA! Actually the excuse was honesty... I told the boss that I took a short cut and had a breakdown along the way. See...totally honest! Coppers Cove huh? I was at Hood for four years myself, I think there was some pretty good at out by BLORA, but I never made it out there.

    Oil leak want go away

    Like Buckshot said, it will wiggle right out, that is if we're talking about a 4.2L. When I put mine back in i put some red RTV around it where it would be seated without the O ring and haven't had a problem since.

    Broke it on the trail today...

    Well, it looks like it's going to be the clutch actually. I pulled the external slave to see if I could get a finger or two in the bellhousing and was greeted by quite a bit of muddy pine straw that found its way in there. My guess now is that I've got a cluch that's filled with dried up mud and...

    Broke it on the trail today...

    Gents, i went wheelin' today and got stuck...happens right... Anyway, I was rocking myself out of it and almost there when suddenly I had nothing, no forward or reverse out of my NV3550 with external slave, and an NP231. After a buddy pulled me out, I still had nothing as I shifted through the...

    New Seats a success!

    Ya, both seats still tip forward, the brackets never came out of the Jeep. Thanks for the tip on the garbage bags, I'll keep some handy.

    New Seats a success!

    Thanks for all the comments guys. It was a bit of a concern for me to get cloth seats, especially in Louisiana at the beginning of hurricane season, but I was also tired of burning the hell out of the back of my thighs. I guess it's a trade off, and I'm just going to have to be more mindful of...

    When you say "dead" do you mean it doesn't have any power at all to even turn the starter, or do...

    When you say "dead" do you mean it doesn't have any power at all to even turn the starter, or do you mean it just won't turn over but it will try? If it'll crank, I would make sure that your distro isn't on backwards. Easiest way to do this is to take out the #1 plug and put your thumb over the...

    New Seats a success!

    Fellow X'ers, I got these seats out of a two door Grand Prix in the junk yard the day before yesterday. I'm not sure of the year though, probably between 95-99 would be my guess. Anyway, they were in great shape, but they didn't bolt directly in. I had to drill one hole in my Jeep's base and...

    YJ Body Lift and Tire Advice

    In my opinion, whatever that's worth, I don't like to go over one inch with a body lift. The only reason I did a ONE inch lift on mine was for a little rubbing I had and I needed to attach my swing away tire carrier bumper to the frame...don't ask. When you lift just the body without anything...

    Dead yet again

    Dylan, here's a picture of a ignition module for a '87-'90 2.5L. As far as testing it goes, I don't know. All I did was make a phone call to AutoZone and they said they hadn't done it in awhile, but they still could. Sure enough they figured it out and it came up bad on their tester. It's just a...
