There are racks that mount to the body and rear bumper and not the roof.

Bestop sailcloth and also the headliner. That's what I plan on getting anyway. It's a Jeep, that means the roof gotta come OFF when the weather is good. :shades:

I haven't noticed ours sagging at all even with the blizzards we've had the last two years here. I keep the blower on 2 or 3 and it's fine after it warms up. I set it on the floor-defrost mix, my daughter who usually drives it sets it on the dash vents. I did see that Bestop has a soft-top...

I always wanted one of these CJ-5 campers.

Dunno. They just looked it up in their catalog at the exhaust shop and walked across the street to the parts store to get it. I ran into the same problem you had at 4WD Hardware, their catalog said the Magnaflow would fit the 2.5L but their computer said it wouldn't. I could have bought a...

I got ours for my daughter about a year and half ago, she will be going to college this fall. It's a 4-banger automatic, probably the least desirable TJ, but it was in real good shape for a '97 and only cost $4300 after I haggled the used car lot down when my mechanic found some repairs that...

Yes, you will need to give it a little gas as you let up on the clutch. Otherwise it will stall. Gas passenger car engines don't have nearly the torque of diesels and the gearing isn't as low.

We have a '97 4-banger also. I had the cat replaced last year, got a universal fit unit welded on by a local exhaust shop that does great work for cheap. About $120 for the cat and $60 to install, if I recall correctly. The Jeep was displaying symptoms of a plugged cat, besides which the...

In the grand scheme of things $700 isn't a lot of money when it comes to vehicles, so you may want to reevaluate where you stand with this particular Jeep. Just a fiberglass tub will be around $2000. Get rid of the other vehicles for something you can drive every day and peck away at the Jeep...

There would be somewhat less drag if you put the t-case in neutral also. I would. If one has an automatic (I know you said yours is a 5 spd) then you should put the t-case in neutral and leave the transmission in Park or disconnect the driveshaft because the back end of the transmission will...

Welcome. I don't post a lot but it's a nice bunch of people. BTW, I've had a Valentine ONE for over ten years. Saved my butt a bunch of times.

If your wife is the low-maintenance type, once she figures out how to get the roof off in the summer you might never get the Jeep back.

This is very true. 4x4's go better in snow but they don't stop or turn any better than anything else. Basically 4wd works by letting you power your way out of problems...but if you're already going too fast then you're SOL. On snow-covered roads A/T's are better than M/T's and dedicated winter...

My daughter's second Jeep...and her first one.

Crown Vic at Moab.

Luckily I only live about 25 miles away.

Taurus Millenium PT-111 9mm.

NAPA's house brand shocks are really Monroe Sensa Tracs for half the price, about $25 each. That's what I got, perfectly happy with them. Also if you belong to AAA you will get a 7% discount at NAPA if you show them your card. I got the NAPA brand steering stabilizer for cheap too.

I'm guessing it's a military issue deal. It's more of a truck parts place and not Jeep, but try Memphis Equipment. Military vehicles for sale, surplus military vehicles for sale. Ah, nevermind. No Jeep stuff. Fun site to look at though.

I bought a pair of uber-tough drill bits, one for pilot holes and one 1/2", I'll put two holes in each side and run a hose in to try and flush out the rust. Frame seems solid and I already painted the outside of it with POR-15 last year. I'm just trying to keep it from getting any worse and...
