I’m having trouble finding a paint shop in the area. Anyone have any suggestions in NH, ME, or Mass? Every shop is either collision/insurance or classic cars. Thanks all. This is not for my scrambler, it’s for a 93 Eurovan Camper. Thanks!

Anyone have a suggestion on a good source for a full carpet set? I have found a few old references but those who had a full set now only seem to offer the front.

I am looking at electric power steering for EJ-8. I can’t find anyone who has done this before in an 8 or 7 but I keep coming back to this cj-5 kit and I can’t figure out why it would work in an 83 cj5 and not a 84 cj8. Any thoughts? I expect it won’t be bolt in but I assume it would be close...

I am might be losing my mind (or finally accepting that it’s already gone) but I could swear I read in a thread that a forum member produced high quality body mount kits. I searched but couldn’t find it. Anyone remember the same? If not, any suggestions? Complete kit, the softer and quieter...

I am looking to downsize tires a bit. I am currently running 31’s with a 2.5” lift. Does anyone have pictures of 30’s on a similar lift? I don’t want it took look “leggy”.

One of the annoying things with my conversion is the loud vacuum pump used to power the brakes. I planned to replace it with a quieter pump when I came across the electric brake idea. Has anyone toyed with installing something like a Bosch iBooster? It’s used in several ICE and full electric...

I am looking at possibly pulling the trigger on a safari top for my LJ. Any chance members have a discount? For the few that have one, any thoughts on rack, interior light and other options?

Anyone have interest? I believe MORE Bombproof engine mounts for the 258. Shipping and future considerations.

For those whom have used Speedhut gauges, what color combos have you found that are closest to stock? Am I crazy to think “Black Dial // White Numbers, Blue Glow” is correct? Anyone happen to have before/after shots? I’m not in a spot to light up my dash at the moment…

I am investigating the value of an aluminum flywheel for my EV conversion but, for obvious reasons, options for one behind the 258 are slim. Does anyone have a suggestion on providers who may not be "googlable" that may offer such? As an alternative, are there engine set-ups which have the same...

I am working through battery placement for my ev conversion. I plan to have 3 or 4 modules in place of the gas tank. My old tank was 19 galions and the skid plate is almost perfect to protect the battery box, with one exception. I need 31 inches of width and I think the skid plate is only 28...

So it begins... First step in swapping my 258 for a Hyper 9. Going electric and there’s no need for a gas tank.

I am one of the unlucky folks that lives in the NorthEast and does not have a garage. Normally I put the Jeep in a storage unit for the winter but this year I want to get some fairly significant work done. I am looking for a a temporary garage under $2k which can handle the snow load and has...

All, For a project I am planning, there is a benefit to move from power to manual steering. I am curious about experiences with both set-ups on 31x10's. I have power steering now and its seems almost to easy. Any thoughts/recommendations/religious mindsets on one vs the other? The conversion...

I've been putting off attacking a chunk of rust that has formed on the body just behind and below the driver door. I got under the jeep today and quickly realized why there was rust forming. Someone had filled the drain hole in the rail below the floor (not the one in the floor) with a solid...

All, I have a constantly squealing belt problem. I assume it’s the alternator belt as it started just after replacing it. My first action was to tighten the belt. Once I did so, I noticed the alternator was out of alignment (see below) where the two pulleys are not on the same plane. Any...

All, I'm chasing a vacuum leak and am planning to replace my intake and exhaust manifold gaskets. I have two questions... For context, I am running a rebuilt 258 with the Mopar MPFI set-up. 1) My mechanic whom has worked on jeeps for a number of years is questioning the two-piece gasket set-up...

All, I have been dealing with the dreaded MPFI ping for awhile to the point where I dont like to drive on the highway because the revs cause a constant ping. I do run 93 octane and the engine was rebuilt 6000 miles ago so not much left to try. I am at the point where I am seriously contemplating...

Any suggestions on a header supplier as I look to upgrade my 258? Coincidentally, I keep telling my wife that's its great not to have a car payment but she has started to retort that a new car would be cheaper... Guess I need a new tactic. BTW, I have been in Singapore since early January...

Apparently my brake booster needs to be replaced. I brought the jeep to my mechanic today to fix a vacuum leak I thought was in the throttle body but turns out its in the brake booster and the brake booster is shot (I didnt ask for a whole bunch of details). Does any have any advice for a stock...
