Welcome! I looked at your albums and saw one (or maybe both) from Coon Creek. I guess that means you're from West TN? If you ever come East, several of us are over here. Drop us a line.

Carfax is a good idea. I'd also take it somewhere (to a good 4wd shop and/or mechanic's--with the owner's knowledge) and have it checked out. That might cost you $50 or $80, but you'd get a sound opinion on the mechanical condition of the vehicle. They might be able to spot something you...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't all the parts from the doors forward be interchangable with the same-year CJ-5?

Excerpted from the National Review (for those of you who don't know, a very conservative magazine) Online (Read the full article here: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MjQyOTgxM2M0YWMxOTdhZDcwMzlmMDU1ZGYxNzFkMmQ= ) The continuing efforts of a fringe group of conservatives to deny Obama his...

The job bank isn't even the worst problem the UAW has caused the American auto industry. The greatest problem is the level of benefits the car manufacturers have to pay. Here in the South, our auto industry (American divisions of foreign manufacturers) is doing just fine. That's because the...

The short answer is yes, several manufacturers will make a tire that is about that diameter with a street tread. Of course, if you have a funky rim, then you might have trouble (for instance, I don't know if you'll be able to find a 33" diameter street tire that fits a 15x10" rim). You almost...

That's an awesome Jeep--and I don't even hunt.

Yes, you can get a Tera Low gearset for a Dana 20 that will give you a 3.15 low range. If you're happy with your high end, then that's what I'd do. The T-18 is a great transmission.

Does anybody know anything about the old worm gear Ramseys? I don't see them much any more. I know that they're real old school technology, but they look foolproof. Also, they draw less amps than a planetary gear setup. I see that they're still sold retail, but they seem much more expensive...

I use a fiberglass antenna that extends above my roof. So far, it's gotten smacked around, but hasn't broken off. It actually attaches at the bumper--not the spare. If you attach the antenna lower, you can get more length without going over the roof line at all or as much.

Maybe I'm being thick, but why do you need a salvage title and to do the whole buy/sell scam? Just have them give you the difference between the two prices in cash, and keep the Jeep and repair it. Or is this an issue local to your state?

My steering wheel keeps pushing closer to my belly every year. I don't understand why AMC made such a thing . . . .

If you're looking to step up in off-road ability, I'd go for a serious Mud Terrain tire (some are streetable, too), and selectable lockers (there when you need them, but out of sight--or feel, as the case may be--when you don't).

Add me please.

Truth be told, it doesn't seem to me that what the story describes is too different from what one experiences at a Jeep Jamboree--folks who love their machines and love getting out and making them perform in the woods. Personally, I'll wave at Jeeps, but I'll also wave at other 4wds which are...

6 bolt hubs from a CJ? Should be 5x5.5.

Count me in, too.

It doesn't seem to me that there's an objective answer to this question. It all depends upon how much you value power over gas mileage (or vice-versa), how quickly you need to get up to speed, what you're trying to do, etc. My old YJ used to have a light that came on telling me when to...

The T-176 should suit your needs well. I think it came stock with this set-up. It's stronger than the T-5, but doesn't have the overdrive. The T-18 is awesome, but I'm not sure it ever came from the factory with the 300 transfer case. You can get an adapter, but it will cost you. The T-176...

The 1972-75 models are basically identical, but there were changes made to the body after 1975. I'm not sure what they all are, but I'm pretty sure one of them is that the windshield channel was altered, meaning you have to have a different style of top. Another, of course, is that the older...
