I took my wife to the coast for the weekend this past week, and had a little fun in the sand. We mostly stayed around Newport, OR, but we traveled south to Florence as well.
I had a slight misadventure on the south jetty in Newport and got my Yukon stuck in the sand. A recent storm caused a...
I don't know how hard you are on your stuff, but I swapped a 27 spline 8.25" in to my YJ after grenading two pinions on two different D35's. It's been flawless ever since.
Good luck! :)
Well, the engine is in and it's mostly back together. All that's left are a few vaccuum lines and some wires. I got the core support/grille and radiator in, along with the transfer case and drivelines.
One more day of working on it and I should be able to try to start it. Fingers...
Welcome! I think I speak for us all when I say this thread needs pics!
I'm a huge CJ fan and hope to someday restore one. On the other hand, I'm currently in the middle of an engine swap in my YJ, which has me questioning my love for working on Jeeps. :D
Why is it that every time you do a swap you run in to a million snags? I'm currently in the middle of an engine swap. The Jeep is a 1988 YJ with a 258, and the donor engine is out of a 1990 YJ. It's also a 258.
I pulled the original engine and tranny with little trouble. As I was trying...
Thanks Dave. I'll just have to wait and see what happens. Fortunately, it's not my daily driver, as it was every other time I had to swap major components. I will have a week off of work to do it, so I'm going to just take my time and not get worked up over anything.
Thanks for the reply...
A few years ago my Peugot BA10/5 went kaflooey. It got stuck in fifth gear and when I pulled it out it was also full of water. I bought a used AX15 out of a 92-93 YJ and the pilot bearing was incorrect. I bought the '92-93 bearing and it wouldn't work either. We wound up rigging the original...
Thanks! It was the camera in my BlackBerry.
I've always thought shadows of Jeeps looked cool, so I photographed them. It took a lot of tries with a camera phone while driving hahaha
I've always wanted a CJ7 or CJ8, and before I bought my YJ I scoured the Auto Trader and newspapers(this was before Craigslist) for months to find the right Jeep. My YJ just found me, and in ten years I've never been disappointed with my purchase...........BUT, I still long for a CJ7.
Maybe...
I love songs about Jeeps. How about a little C.W. McCall?
(Good effort whoever made this vid, but the Jeep in the pic is a CJ7 lol)
