    LCA question

    Quick question, it may be stupid (I'm not looking at the jeep currently, nor have I made any measurements...Just curious if anyone has done it) I was thinking, would there be any benefits/problems that would arise from switching the lower control arm directions. Let me clear that up. I've...

    Whine while moving

    Sheesh. It's been a while. So, I've recently developed a whining coming from the engine compartment. I would normally try to diagnose it myself, but the problem is that it only happens while the jeep is moving. Here's what I've tried: Figured it had to do with rpm's at first. Revving has no...

    lost a bit of power in fourth gear [really, at low rpm]

    Hey guys, I recently replaced the belt on my '94 xj. It had previously been squealing a lot due to a broken belt tension bolt [the one under the steering pump], so I made sure it was good and tight. It is wonderfully silent, but I noticed that I've lost some power. I was wondering if that might...

    Temp Sensor Location

    Hey guys, I'm almost finished with the restore on my '88 chero. It runs great and everything, but it overheats a little [I've got to flush the radiator, no big deal] The only thing is, My electric fan is run off of a switch, so that I can manually cool the motor. However, being an 88, the...

    hand throttle [while keeping existing throttle]

    hey guys, ive been contemplating fabbing up a hand throttle while still keeping the foot throttle [or of as a idle-selector, and possible cruise -if i do it right :lecture: ] this is what i was thinking [rather simplistic, i know but i thought it was the best way. simply add a line from the...

    got bored. soft half-doors

    well, i got bored today after my AP physics exam and decided: "hey, i have thin pipe, a small manual pipe bender die, and a metal saw and 4" grinder.. why not make some half doors" so i got to it, and i have to say, im satisfied with the outcome. i am still deciding on: 1 latch design [if any]...

    she started...but problems

    well, if anyone checked out Daisy's thread, i finally got her started up today, and she sounded ok for having no fluids in her for 4 months... sounded a bit stumbly, but i figured it was due to the airpockets in the fuel rail and antifreeze lines. and the lack of oil thats been in there...
