Thank you all. It really is helpful knowing that other families are praying and thinking of our (now my) sons and I. What an impact this has been on them. Jennifer, I and boys met many so many salt-of-the-earth CJ-8.com families at the 5 Sandblasts we have been to. Many of you first heard...

In Memory of Wife Jennifer 1975-2025 It hurts so much. 2016 CJ-8.com Sandblast 2023 CJ-8.com SandBlast Edit: I just found this when compiling photos for the funeral home. Jennifer, being raised on a farm, was always interested in getting-in-there with me whether it was with the house or...

No holes or modifications were done to the half cab roof. Those are just foam canoe roof blocks (sold for the sole purpose of roof mounting canoes on automobiles) placed hovering over both the roll bar and the rear edge of the half can roof (where the roof is structurally more sound)

Below is what I did 20+ years ago when I was brand new newbie to CJ-8s (and when I had no hitch receiver). HOWEVER: 20+ years later (now with both knowledge and a hitch receiver), I would have first tried this first (but flip this around into the vertical position): Harbor Freight Bed Extender...

This may or may not fully "qualify" as a "Jeep Landmark", but it was a pleasant surprise when spotted. Inside the Lake Mead National Recreation Area Visitor's Center - 7/30/2019 ... now posting second fuzzy photo that better explains the first photo

Yes, I agree this is odd... all RockAuto vendors list with photos the "L" casting as Drivers front Left and the "R" casting as Passenger front Right. But as you pointed out actually holding the caliper up to the bracket, the bleeder screw would be at the 4 o'clock position. Here's a thought I...

Hi, Sorry I'm joining late... I just saw this. Can I offer a different diagnosis and perspective? My humble 2 cent opinions for your consideration: 1) I believe your calipers are NOW reversed (even though you say you have pressure). That is, they are reversed now that you put the L-stamped...

E2000 fuel pump works fine on my Hesco MPI system. It's a frame-mounted pump used on 1980s Econolines. (It's a plug-n-play installation)

I may have been that other forum member that used CGJ -- I highly recommend them. I bought from them in early 2019. I can't find my old post (IIRC, a number of posts were lost a few years back when CJ-8.com did either a H/W or S/W switch). For future readers... I'll say it again: I highly...

Sorry... my bad. I got the Reman from Clearwater (which sells on eBay under the name Odessa*cyclinder head Clearwater-Odessa relationship) mixed up with the Epoxy-plugged 94 YJ donor salvage yard head.

I think it is really hard to say for sure why your eBay reman head failed. Powerplants are a system of interdependent components and the more variations introduced away from OEM (even aftermarket that supposedly meets OEM-spec but of unknown durability), the less one can relay on the extensive...

That could very well be the case. I'd start by tracing your brake pedal switch wiring... It shouldn't be too difficult tracing that wiring to see if it was intentionally spliced into the TS/flasher circuit during its prior life as a snowplow at the Jeep assembly plant. IIRC, thebrake wiring is...

Welcometo the board OEM CJ tachometer won't work as is with later MPI electronics... Something about an eletronic conversion that is needed. That's why HESCO includes a tach in their MPI package 10+ years ago there was an aftermarket seller that was selling converted oem tachs (as he could...

Already posted: Here's my 2 cents on a budget stroker: https://www.cj-8.com/threads/4-2-with-4-0-head-or-stroker.50424/page-2#post-427346 Simply put: I had a 4.0 remanufactured but with my 258 crank. I kept it long nose with V-belt to save time swapping to S-belt. I just need a reliable...

Agree. For example, intake and exhaust are also part of the equation. Beginning 25 years ago in the late 1990s, there was a lot of 4.0HO headswap hype starting through the mid-2000s (i.e., magazine write-ups, posts at now defunct CJ forums, extensive article writeups... I think the famous...

Sorry to hear you too had a bad experience with eBay vendor Odessa*cylinderhead (also DBA Clearwater Cylinder Head). My experience was bad, but yours is worse. FWIW, I never really noticed much improvement if any with a Odessa/Clearwater Cylinder Head 4.0HO head on a 258 block that already had...

MomoJeep - I see you are in Seattle. There is an awesome and highly affordable engine remanufacturer in your backyard Spokane: S&J Engines. https://www.sandjengines.com/ I shipped them a 258 crank which they reman and then put -it into a 4.0 block they were reman for me -- they even reduced...

Just saw this post. I might be too late, but FWIW... I bought an eBay 4.0HO head from Clearwater Cylinder Head (which now sells on eBay as Odessa*cyclinder head) about 12 years ago for a head swap. I would not buy from them again. I ordered the coveted 7120 casting head and they shipped me...

Another diagnostic step to consider: Before you bolt the driveshaft in, take it out completely and drive in FWD only to determine if the vibration is still there. That would confirm that the vibration is related to the rear drive shaft.

I had the same issue many, many years ago... this though was installing a new Hesco adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I recall one or more of the following solved the leak: - filed bracket so that new regulator would seat properly. - obtained thicker fuel-resistant o-ring - doubled-up the o-ring.
