Where do guys buy pigtail connectors? (Besides the junkyard. After moving, I don't have any close by). For my MPI wiring, I'd like to get a wiring harness-side female connector for the O2 sensor. The same connector was on 1991-1995 YJ's. It's a square/box style connector that is a 4-wire...

I may have stripped the rear most headbolt when I did the 4.0 HO head swap a few years ago (and ~5K miles ago). I just noticed today a puddle of antifreeze on the garage floor directly underneath the rear main. The other possiblity is that I just need to re-torque the headbolts as I never did...

My clutch bellcrank is wobbling (part D) on the pedal end... it wobbles about 1" around the bracket ball. I need to take it part to see what's causing the problem... last night though it looked like the bushing (part P) either broke or the retainer (part O) came off pushing the bushing further...

I got a lead on Ramsey winch, but it needs work. For the price, it seems worth it. The big question is whether I can fix it with my average skills? I'm going to take a look at it... here's what the seller said about it.... "The mounting bolts are broken in the case (need drill & tapped), plus...

Back in 2004 https://www.cj-8.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8993, I had seepage (just seepage, no dripping) where M20 pumpkin mates with axle tubes. Unfortunately, I got no replies with ideas. Now in 2008, I got a true leak at the pumpkin where the axle tube mates. The leaks started immediately...
