For CJ owners, we've all been there. You're driving down the highway and suddenly something stops, pops, cracks, leaks, or takes a dump. Whatever it may be you feel that slow sinking feeling as your machine coasts to a halt. We have all heard of cracking an egg in a leaky radiator, or maybe...

Hi guys! I just bought this 92 yj. Guy before me had it 19 years well maintained. He told me when I bought it that it needed a computer. That he had replaced a bunch of parts and gave up. I bought the computer truck ran much better as it was having problems starting and I had previously had to...

I am working on rebuilding the entire brake system on my 65 cj5. The back braked went fine but moving on to the front, I can't get the drums off. I have tried soaking with pb blaster and hitting with a hammer, heating up with a torch and hitting with hammer and have sparingly used a sledge...
