    CJ7 - Opposite from everything you know

    I think 30mpg isn't too lofty a goal. The Mitsubishi J54 with the Japanese diesel claims 35mpg in the same shape and blocky aero dynamics. The limiting factor right now is going to be an automatic tranny. The 4x4Labs kit doesn't support the automatic. Back to square one...

    CJ7 - Opposite from everything you know

    Thanks for the ideas. To the question about budget... I'm not interested in putting 40k into the jeep, but 10-12k for drivetrain and suspension is in the range. Throw another 2-3k in other stuff and I'll be all in under 20k. Time will be my constraint... I've got three other Jeeps and a...

    CJ7 - Opposite from everything you know

    CJ7 - Opposite from everything you know

    Yes 4wd, to handle in the snow and a basic camping trip, but that's it. Would need to be high gear ratio. I don't think the yj is soft enough or fuel efficient enough. I like the Toyota option. Has anyone done a diesel in a cj yet? A small German diesel converted to run on recycled...

    CJ7 - Opposite from everything you know

    I have a 76 CJ I'm going to start on and had a thought. I want to do something that hasn't been done before. I'm thinking about taking this project in a completely different direction - It will be 1. Super soft road ride. 2. Primarily focused on fuel economy and not horsepower. (engine...

    Multi Layer Steel Head Gaskets

    Is it worth it to pay $200 as opposed to $25 for MLS head gaskets? The 3.0 V6 in the 4runner uses a steel block with aluminum heads and is notorious for blowing head gaskets. Is the best way to combat the dissimilar metals with a MLS head gasket?

    CJ Narrow Track Stability

    I have an 83 CJ-8,wide track. But I just bought my teenager a 76 CJ-7 narrow track. Here is what I'm wondering AMC made the switch from narrow to wide track axles for rollover reasons. The WT axles went under the same chassis as the NT axles. For safety reasons can I compensate for the...
