New member with new to me 78CJ Usual slop in the steering - PO welded steering bracket to frame after breaking the two left forward steering bracket bolts, Wanting input on using structural blindbolts in place of the broken bolts on the frame side of the steering gear bracket. As opposed to...

Replacing the rotors/brakes etc while i got the wheels off for my lift install. I am not familiar with the dana30 quite yet but i've done my youtube due diligence and all. When I pulled the hub cover off there was a piece I have not seen in any of the material i've watched - like a large spring...

Hello, New member here. I recently bought an '86 CJ7 Renegade from a friend about 3 months ago and have been having a blast working on it and driving it when the weather is nice. I joined the forum to hopefully find answers to issues and maybe meet some cool people that are into Jeeps as much...

I'm putting carpet in a weekend driver CJ7 and debating on whether or not to get the mass backing on the Stock Interiors kit. Most of the benefits I've seen for the mass backing are related to heat and noise insulation which I'm not concerned about at all. But how does the mass backing affect...

So if you have been following my discussions lately you would know that I am trying to make this 304 run good! Recently I have had a MC2100 carb on the 304 and it ran well except for a backfire and bogging from idle to WOT in neutral and while driving. Now I decided to put the Edelbrock 1406...

So I got my 304 running good at idle and it’s drives smooth. The only problem I am having right now is backfire out the carb and bogging when I do a hard acceleration from idle. I’ve boiled it down to timing and I’m wondering what the timing on a stock 304 is, initial and total? I’ve had it at...

So recently I had a MC2100 on my 304 and it ran well except for it backfiring and bogging when accelerating more than nothing. I had an Edelbrock 1406 laying around and decided to rebuild it. Followed a video and pretty sure I did it right. Slapped the 1406 on the 304, no spacer and correct...

Is there a write up already on the operation of this system. I don’t want to tear it if I can get it to work. The 85cj7 I just bought ( my first one) is in very rough shape but has more options than I have ever seen( ps,pb,ac,cruise, factory hardtop, side steps. But I think the were all...

Good Morning, Last year i replaced my head gasket cover on my 1984 CJ7 4.2 straight 6. In the process i needed to disconnect some air/vacuum lines to gain access. During the reassembly process i could not find a home for one hose line and now my Jeep is failing its fuel cap pressurization...

I have an 84 CJ7 that currently has 31x10.5x15 Bridgestones. I have a 2” body lift and the tires look really small on this jeep. I’m not real happy with how they perform either so I’m thinking of upgrading. 30 or so years ago I had an ‘85 with no lift and ran 33x12.5x15 and as I recall, they...

So I just got this 85 CJ7 with a 304 amc in it. This is my first amc engine, and first one I've done really anything with. I know enough about engines to build them, but not enough to hook them up really. So my problem is that recently I replaced the cam and lifters because I had a flattened cam...

So I just got this 85 cj7 with a 304 in it and the PO said there was some knock last time he started it. When I removed the valve covers and tried to crank it the front right 1st valve wasn’t moving at all. Removed the rocker and pushed on the rod to see if it was set and it was springy, like it...

Replacing wheel hubs on a 1985 CJ-7, I was wanting to go with Warn but after talking with them, they apparently no longer make hubs for a CJ-7, neither standard or premium. I have a Dana 30 front axle, 5 bolt, 27 splines. I have seen some recommendations from old posts for Mile Marker hubs but...

I'm selling my CJ7. I bought as a project, but don't have time or location to actually work on it. It does need work on body, paint, etc. The seller that I purchased from did the engine work at a racing shop in Florida. He also installed a T5 transmission. I put new 33"s on it when purchased and...

I have an 83 cj7. Upgraded shocks to fox performance 2.0. Upgrading steering stabilizers. Currently there are 2 in a double bracket attached to axle. Where can I find a bracket like this for the fox bushing ends? The cj7 bracket has old type ends. Anyone done this before?

Looking to buy a set of acme full fiberglass doors for CJ7. Will travel a reasonable distance and pay a reasonable amount for them. thanks!

Hello! New here! Growing up I’d heard stories about the American flag painted jeep. Yesterday in a random Craigslist search I found it. My grandparents old jeep that they bought off the showroom floor in ‘76. Long story short, it’s back in the family. First and now the third owners of this...

I removed the cover on my Dana 300 transfer case to change the gasket. I found these two rings in the pan... I'm no transfer case expert but I don't think it came this way. Hah. What are they, where do they go and should I be sh!ting my pants because they are not where they belong?
