CJ market must be soft. Seller took a sizeable loss. Bought for $12,250 in 2024 and sold for $8,600 in 2026.

Wayne, I am no expert, so other can chime in too. I do not believe there is anything that would "tell" the transmission not to go in gear. Everything is essentially mechanical. Usually what you are feeling is that you can't force the transmission into gear because you can't overcome the...

I'd recommend first making sure that your throw out bearing is actually fully pressing on the clutch pack when you depress the clutch pedal. I'm pretty sure the SR4 is a mechanical clutch linkage (clutch pedal rod to bell crank with an adjuster rod on the engine side of bell crank). There...

Looks like Jeep is making an all-electric Bronco now, starting at $65K. I wish they'd spend more time making their current lineup better quality.

I had this "no-start" happen to me before. I would take a few minutes and check the connection to the coil in that plastic Motocraft U shaped connector. Essentially, the wire terminal spade wasn't making a proper connection to the coil, and thus the no-start condition. That connector really is...

Check the simple stuff first. 1. Make sure Item #4 shown (clutch adjustment rod) above didn't fall out of the clutch fork (Item #2 above). If so, you aren't releasing the clutch at all when you push the pedal. Pedal may feel soft or have no resistance to the floor. Also check that bolts...

I have an NAPA aftermarket ICM and factory distributor I just pulled from my CJ7, which was running. Upgraded to fuel injection and do not need anymore. Not sure if these parts would help you or not.

It's important to note that for the 15-gallon fuel tank, these hoses are NOT the same for years 81-82 and 83-86. I sent the original AMC stamped fuel and vent hose off my early May 1981 Scrambler to MTS years ago. These were the templates that were used to develop their 1981-1982 hoses. They...

Looks like the Postal shown previously in this thread didn't sell on BaT. For posterity, here is the classified from their website: https://collinsbrosjeep.com/1984-jeep-cj-8-alaskan-postal-scrambler-stock-019797/

I kept my eyes out for another classic BW April Fools post yesterday. None this year for 2025. He doesn't do them every year, but when he does, they are usually great. It was fun to re-read this thread again.

You got no heat too, lines have been cut. Not that you need in LA.

I'd suggest trying to find an OEM pair of fenders with as little rust and rot as you can find. Same fenders as a CJ-7 or CJ-5 so there is a lot of them out there. Try looking on Craiglist and FB. Aftermarket fenders don't really fit well and require a lot of "massaging" to get the holes to line...

Hope your repair holds with no leaks. Sounds like the right option until you have a reason to pull the whole transmission someday down the line.

Transmission fluid should not come out of those holes. What transmission do you have? T-5, T-4, SR-4, T-176? Initial thoughts are there is a crack in the transmission casing OR someone at some point retapped the mount hole and drilled too far and got into the transmission itself. Instead of...

I did a valve cover placement (Crown Automotive) in the spring 2024 and encountered these exact issues. On top of the fact that the cover holes were "off", the holes in the cork gasket were also way "off." The cover and the gasket are a system and have to work together, otherwise... leaks...

Below are some ideas I had formulated for a new banner. I am a novice at graphics really, so sorry if the quality is so-so. I like simplicity. I also like to use photos/graphics that I own so I never worry about copyright. I did that in these cases, they are based off pictures of my jeeps...

I hear you on that, time is flying ridiculously fast. I still need to get up that way and have been trying to for a few years. I haven't forgotten about a guy who sent me a speedocluster a year ago.

Been a few years, and curiosity has me asking about the status of this truck project. We want the truck!

I learned again the hard way this weekend, that the absolute littlest lack of contact or wiggle in the red or green wires to the coil (in the horseshoe-shaped connector) will cause a no-start condition. Those wires must make solid contact with the coil terminals, and that horseshoe connector can...

This one makes Vintage Red look like a diamond 💎 That's the kind of rust I'm used to seeing up here. Maybe our rust is a tad bit worse, you have no holes in the frame. That Jeep would be labeled "rust free" up here :crazy:.
