Can't believe I am even debating this; but, some unforeseen things have made driving a manual transmission possibly difficult long term. So, I am debating a change over to an automatic during my rebuild. I know the simple things... Just trying to see what I am missing. I know I will need a...

Panning my restoration. If it all works out it will happen this Spring! To begin, this rig (once done) will go back to being a daily driver (even in winter). I bought the rig with a very small rust spot. Daily driver for 5ish years and completely rusted out. A few years ago, I bought a...

My original plan (years ago) included bedliner for the cab and bed areas. I have read where some people argue against this (it traps moisture promoting rust, can be difficult to remove, etc). I was thinking of removing everything (roll bar, seats, console, bulkhead) and having it all sand...

Has anyone had issue with a half cab using half doors with hard uppers? Trying to figure out exactly what switching back to a half cab will entail.

Still planning things out (won't probably start turning wrenches for a few more weeks). I know these are Jeeps and not going to sound like Carnegie Hall or anything; but, what do people typically do in regard to half-cab soundproofing? There aren't a lot of surfaces. Is it even worth messing...

Still debating switching to a half cab. The largest issue I can find right now is where to put my canoe when I use it. Not a deal breaker; but, certainly something I want to get to the bottom of.

It has been 11-years since I had a half cab on my Scrambler. I am seriously debating going back to one. Anyone know what kind of storage space there is behind the seats? I keep my seats back all the way and just need to know what I am looking at for storing important stuff back there.

My Scrambler came with Laredo seats in it. My older CJ-7 had some kind of stock non-bolstered bucket seats that were just incredibly comfortable. I am a pack rat and have kept both sets. I am torn between which ones I want to use. On the one hand, the Laredo seats seem more sought after and...

Now that I am starting to wrap up my Grand Wagoneer restoration, I am gearing up to tackle my Scrambler. It has been several years since I have posted much here. Honestly, it just depressed me too much to see all the work you guys have done to your rigs as mine sat rusting; but, all that's...

That's what a Non-linear Valve looks like. It is connected to that spaghetti bowl of vacuum hoses. Generally in the front, kin of by where the oil fill is. It connects to a couple of different CTO switches and the distributor. Thanks a bundle!!! Oh, and I am sure I need a couple of small...

Anyone know where I can find a non-linear valve? These are vacuum related parts that regulate the vacuum source. Used on Grand Wagoneers and some Cherokees and Wranglers. Sorry to ask here; tried my other sources and figured you guys may be able to help...

My wife's old Grand Cherokee has a SelecTrac NP-242 (can select between full or part time). My Grand Wagoneer has an NP-229 (full time) case. My Scrambler has a Dana 300 (part time only), My '05 Unlimited has a CommandTrac NV 231 (part time only) case, and my wife's new JK Unlimited has a...

Not sure if this is the correct forum or not... I have questions on tires, age, and wear. From what I have read, tires aged over 10-years are considered a hazard. After contacting BFG, they concur...over 10-years replace them. The reason I ask is that the tires on my new Jeep are way...

Is there any word on the hardtops JScherb was working on with Gr8tops??? Now that I have an LJ and all, I am excited about this. Best looking top on the market. Unfortunately, the soft top on my Jeep is not in as good a condition as advertised and I have the $$$ right now to get a hardtop...

Just wanted to see what others thought about this. I have always considered the LJ a long lost son to our Scrambler (limited numbers over a limited time period loosely based upon a common platform). And, now that I own one, I have noticed that like our Scrambler, it is not covered in any...

Well, I have made the decision to buy an '04 Unlimited. The one I have been looking at is over 2 hours away in Lebanon, OH. I was hoping I could find someone who could take a quick look at the rig for me. I hate buying something I haven't driven...but that is the way the banks are working...

This is a bit lengthy; but, I am in need of some unbiased advice about my daily driver... So, I have found one of 3 vehicles I would even consider getting rid of my '88 GW for; an '04 Wrangler Unlimited... I am just looking for advice one way or the other. I have debated this for a few days...

My goal forever was to use my ACME full hard top with some wrangler steel half doors and fiberglass uppers. However, top removal is a feat (I use to be able to remove my old AJ's top by myself...but last time I tried to remove the ACME top by myself...I had to pick it and myself up off the...

This past weekend my friend drove us to a race in Chicagoland. His vehicle broke down in Chicago Heights. A tow truck driver stopped to help (and had us very concerned about our safety). Very very long story short, he towed my friends vehicle and gave us a ride to Midway Airport to rent a...

I am amazed I am even thinking this...but I have a few questions. I love the strength and bullet proof design of my Dana 300. But, I drive my Scrambler on the road 95% of the time...and the Dana 300 is not the most user friendly t-case for my application. I am debating swapping to something...
