    Wanted CJ5 parts

    I got the Jeep down from the ranch and started working on it. Looks like the carb is flooding so I'll be working on that. He needs some mirrors as they lost one and the other is cracked. I thought I had some in my parts piles but can't find them.

    Wanted CJ5 parts

    One of the things I need to fix are the seats. The original seats sat out in the weather for 30 years and were junk. I found some Dodge van seats and I fit in them just fine. My friend however doesn't fit well since he is taller. I found a complete set of BestTop YJ front and rear seats that I...

    Wanted CJ5 parts

    No big rush. He wanted it running good before labor day but a top can come later. I just want to keep the pigeons in his barn from pooping on the seats.

    Wanted CJ5 parts

    I fixed an old 72 CJ5 for a friend years ago and now it is coming back for some needed maintenance. While I am giving it a tune up and some fixes I would like to add some extras. We put on a Warn 8000 winch on it but they lost the controller so I need to find one. I would also like to add some...

    Old 12v generator

    My Dad was cleaning out his garage and gave me his old 12V generator that he built many years ago. We used to use it to charge our trailer batteries. I fired it up and it runs great but doesn't seem to put out any voltage. This thing has an old car generator on it that most likely needs service...

    On what we expect to get out of it I need to drive it first to make sure everything in the drivetrain works as it should.

    Should I put on tires ?

    Those look interesting, if they were 15" ones I would just swap them onto the XJ rims.

    Should I put on tires ?

    This little 2001 XJ followed me home and I've been fixing it up getting it ready to sell. The Jeep was my father in law's and it ended up with my brother in law after grandpa passed. They gave up on it because it kept on stalling on them. The stalling was just a dirty IAC. I just swapped in a...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Well I shouldn't change oil after a long day at work. On my 08 Grand Cherokee with the Hemi, Chrysler put the filter in a horrible spot where you can't see the filter mount very well. I took the old filter off cleaned the mounting surface but didn't notice that the old filter's o ring had fallen...

    Winch rope

    The one I fixed looked similar except the bridge was also busted. There is a hammered Rustoleum grey that is a good match to the Warn paint if you want to go cheaper on the touch up.

    Winch rope

    I am finishing up my new winch mount for the 9.5TI Warn that I fixed up. I want to run a synthetic rope on it and wanted opinions on which ropes I should look at, length, capacity etc. There are quite a few out there but want to get one that will work well with the 9.5. It will be on my...

    Jeep CJ grill on Commando

    Look up my Commando build, https://www.rme4x4.com/threads/the-family-commando-build-project.66704/page-2. You will see what 76-86 CJ fenders and grille look like on a C104 Commando (mine is a 73). The fenders bolt on fine but don't go all the way down to match the Commando tub. I ended up...
