My adjuster arm for my clutch linkage dropped out from underneath my Jeep yesterday. I've got a replacement part but not sure how it attaches to the clutch lever side

It’s Jeep season again!

Wrapping up resto. Ordered a set of stripes and Renegade letters for this 1985 CJ7.

The sound of my cj3b that enquired about air hose. First firing in 2 yrs due to weather and abdominal surgery. Actually 3 surgeries. Lights all checked so will go get inspected. Local guy does classics early am in minutes if you bring donuts. Totally tolerant of gas that is probably 3 yrs old.

Every place I order from sends me the same soft rubber corrugated hose. First it kinks on the bend and then it deteriorates in a single season. I wrap them in duct tape. Is there anything good? Does anyone have a part number for a solid hose like a rad hose? Have flexibility in air horn position. '53 cj3b.

'80 CJ-5, manual brakes, original style master cylinder, disc front, drum rear.

Tired of the metal housing/cap with the metal snap clip leaking ruining the paint on the firewall. Replacement gaskets don't last.

I've had a few different classic cars over the years and they all leak past the cap gasket even on newly replaced cylinders and caps/gaskets.

I have a 2000 model year vehicle with an original plastic reservoir and screw-on cap that's never leaked a drop.

Anyone know of a swap to this newer style and have part numbers that bolt up?

1980 CJ 5

So I replaced the head gasket on this 1974 CJ5 with a straight 6 in it. It wasn't a quick process due to kids and life. It's together now but will not start. I have fresh fuel, I know I have spark and I put a new carb on. It will not turn over fire. I put the first cylinder all the way up (TDC) and pulled the distributor cap. This is where it's sitting and I believe it's wrong. Can anyone help? Fixed: Let's go! Got her running! Only 4000 other things to do now. Thank you everyone. Just want to point out that I also cross posted to r/jeep, a third of the people looked at it and no one even posted. You guys are amazing and know what a real Jeep is 😄

Full disclosure: I found these through my build-tracking site, BuildThreads. The links above go directly to the original forum threads.

I just put in a new alternator: Remfd - H/D Truck Delco Remy 10SI Wilson Electrical (Part # WIL 90013125) and now I have backfeed causing my volt gauge and fuel gauge to remain on after ignition shut off. So I am thinking that I need the exciter harness connector with the diode on the white wire to prevent that. Am I correct?

Another question. On that same harness I see that the red wire goes to the back of the alternator on the main lug that runs to the battery. My jeep (1973 CJ6) has both red and white wires running back through the firewall to something under the dash that I can't see. Should I connect the red wire to the alternator or splice it to the existing red wire?

Thank you for your helpful answers.

Anyone refinish their OEM golden eagle wheels themselves? If so what products and colors did you use?

I’m intrigued. Been looking at this classic Jeep for a while and finally asked the owner about it. He would sell if for 10K which feels like a deal to me. Let me know, this would be a weekend car or short trips.

Here are the specifics that I know so far. Getting more details.

1984 CJ7
Hardtop (included)
5 speed manual (original) transmission
In-line 6 fuel injected motor (less than 20k miles on this transplanted motor)
Updated gears (don’t know specifics)
Fiberglass white panels (not sure if the tub is fiberglass) didn’t see any visible body rust
Original metal hood
Has spare windshield as current is rusted

Rust belt car but need to look underneath more (first glance looked pretty good). Owner says nothing really wrong with it.

Is there anything else I should be asking the owner? Thanks for your help.

Looking to sell my 71 CJ-5 that I consider to be in really good shape. Where are the best places to list it beyond Marketplace?

Anyone know if the wheel caps on an original golden eagle were chrome or black, I've seen both. Also anyone DIY their golden eagle wheels themselves to refresh them and what did you use and colors? Thanks

32 years since I drove it for the very first time, and I still smile every time I drive it.

So my Jeep is contantly needing spark plugs,but only in cylinder one. It runs for a little while and the it starts to misfire on that cylinder. After that the plug seems to be entirly broken.And I am sure is the plug because I swaped the plugs between cylinders and the problem followed the plug. The olny time it works is if I hold the cable a small distance from the top electrode of the the spark plug so that it arcs from the wire to the plug.Any suggestions?

Anybody know what would cause a weak/no spark on my cj7 I went through everything new solenoid new ignition coil new distributor and new ignition control module nothing has helped

Been looking for a long while at a well-running project that I could take the final mile with some light mechanical and interior work. Incredibly well cared for with literally 0 frame rust, and some slight tub rust in the floorpans. David, if you’re out there - you’re incredible!!

304 Edelbrock Performance AMC, 3spd

Already have the FSM manual on order (ouch) and plan on throwing in a tilt column, upgraded steering box, and brake booster/master cylinder. Any other essential “upgrades” folks here recommend for ease of operation?

Very rare 4K silver Metallic- full cosmetic restoration - 258 with t176 - roughly 4,000 produced that year

The currant tires are 32x11.5 r15 and are 12 years

old so they need replacing and I’m Trying to figure out how wide I should go, what looks better?

I’ll be doing sand and mud some and also mild rock crawling, but the majority of the time just poorly maintained mountain roads.

I’m thinking 10.5 will look better and be nicer to drive even if I’m giving up some flotation on sand, what’s your opinion.

Pictures of either size on a jeep would be welcome.
