I can get one at Napa, 85Amp, for around $85. Or A mean green, 120Amp for around $300+. Hmmmm Is 85 Amp enough to just run 2 fog and 2 driving lights (non-LED). ?

Anyone recommend an Alternator with higher output than the oem replacement? Are they typically in stock at parts stores, or do they have to be special ordered?

"these gauges have been engineered for better, longer performance over the factory version and rely on an internal resistor system." https://www.quadratec.com/products/917209_01.htm?gclid=CjwKCAjwj8eJBhA5EiwAg3z0m1GlKreY5spdthgD5AKxVxkSY2uLkZ1bCNCowD1nzYTcjcQ9Wq-k0hoCx4wQAvD_BwE Is that an...

I have a similar problem... temp started reading low and it seems the also throw the fuel gauge off. So is the conclusion that the voltage regulator is the "weak link", the primary failure component? The reason I ask is that the previous time I had a gauge fail it was the wrapped resistance wire...

Wow, this goes beyond my bandwidth for messing with electrical stuff! Here's what I wish: If Crown/Omix stuff doesn't last, why doesn't somebody just make a quality oem gauge!? I'd be happy to pay more for quality! But since that probably won't happen, how about this. Can someone pinpoint why...

In my case it’s not the sending unit. I checked them. I went ahead and changed the temperature sending unit even though it checked out good, but sure enough that was not the problem. IIRC, There is a voltage regulator involved with the gauges. They operate in the range of 0 to 5V not 0 to 12V so...

I have a similar problem. The temp gauge reads WAY low, and since it started reading low, now the fuel gauge also seems to read a bit low. Hmmm

Interesting stuff here.. These guys have the parts to go to coil/coil-over: https://davescustomsunlimited.com/shop-by-vehicle/jeep-cj-45-86/suspension-steering/?sort=featured&page=3

And the bigger question I have is ... How much better would the ride be on WASHBOARD roads? https://www.jeeps.net/threads/coil-over-conversion.2276/

For some reason I can't find this rack on their website.. Am I missing something?

I LOVE mine. But it's not "perfect". Annoying thing is that there's a little bit of interference with closing the driver's door. **BUT** this could also be due to my old worn our door hinges causing mis-alignment.

I need a new exhaust. I'm not too concerned with : - Trying to increase the engine's performance - The sound (I prefer LESS noise!) I AM concerned with - CLEARANCE (my previous muffler was bulky, ended up rotating and hanging down lower than x-member/T-case skid plate! Other than that, is...

Is there a certain type I should get for my Jeep. Or will just any Extinguisher do?

Good point! Access

How do you guys attach fire extinguishers to your roll bar? On my roll bar (not the main hoop, but one of the two angled parts going down to the bed) has two holes through it that look like they are from the factory. Is this where an extinguisher is supposed to go?

The machine shop determined the taper was gone. They measured it. It was a Comp cam ("rv"). There were stainless steel valve springs. Also, I drove under a heavy load, 3000 mile road trip, long long hours each day through hot summer weather and over mountain passes. But Istill don't think...

Thanks for this, it's very helpful.. Can't beat first hand experience! In my case, I had a head go bad after 25k miles. I don't know why. But I really DON'T want to go through that again! Mechanic said the top of the cam lobes have a slight angle to them (by design) so that the lifters get...

Cool, thanks! Are you saying the additives don't have the problem of being bad for cat converters?

I have never gotten a conclusive answer to this question... Some say today's oils are NOT good enough for a flat tappet engine. That a zinc/ddp additive is needed. Other's say buy a high-quality oil and you'll be ok. I don't want to risk it. Does anyone know for sure if there are modern oils...
