    That's way too much to pay, you should pass it up. Now what did you say their address was again? lol

    Transmission Jumps out of 1st Gear

    Not following what you mean by "deliberately set the gear in place"? Aren't all gear shifts, other than missed shifts, deliberate? ;) Now I'll have to check to see if mine pops out. I wouldn't know, since my hand remains leaning on the shift knob and doesn't come off till I'm done rowing gears.

    Dirt Everyday with a KJ.

    "We are going to take 2 low buck trucks and hammer them to see which one is still running at the end of the day" Translation: we're going to do whatever we can to try and break them. The ending didn't surprise me at all.

    Won't shift out of 2nd!!! HELP

    How did you "fix" it? Did you install the previously mentioned Transgo plate kit? If all you did was straighten the original plate, and screwed it back on, then having a problem again is understandable and to be expected.

    Quick Rant: Jeep Spare

    Maybe the previous owner was testing the validity of Murphy's law. I've always carried a spare, and never gotten a flat. Now I gotta go find some wood to knock on (prof, feel free to run with that one....it's on a silver platter). :happy175:

    Replaced Ball Joints on JBA A-Arms today

    Right, that's why the need for a spacer. The spacer sandwiches the boot to prevent grease blowout.

    Battery Tales...

    I'm 4+ years and counting with my red top junker, Optima made by Interstate.

    Replaced Ball Joints on JBA A-Arms today

    The ball joint shaft has a taper and will only go so far into the tapered hole. The spacer is put there to fill a gap and support the boot. Keep in mind, the ball joints are for GM vehicles. They just happen to work on our Jeep, with a little retrofit imagination.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Tape worked a little while for me, till the sun beat on it enough and got it gooey and loose. I then used a coat hanger, hooked under the glass, up and over the top of the door.

    Me and My '05 Limited, Riding On Air

    I use Spicer heavy duty greasable u-joints in all my projects, and is what I put on my driveshaft. I want the availability to grease things, and the zerk fittings are well within easy access. If you had a high hp street/strip vehicle, or a dedicated rock crawler where you're jumping the axle, I...

    Bearings kill two engines inside a year.. Mechanics clueless

    Poor maintenance and neglect for one. And high rpm's won't destroy the bearings, unless there is an oil supply issue or if the integrity of the bearings are already marginal. Buying an engine with 140k miles on it is a complete crap shoot, it could die in a week, it could go for years/miles. The...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    If you get down and sight across visually, you'll see that the inboard "frame" rails hang down 2-3" below the rocker panels. The way those sliders tuck up, the frame would still be the lower of the two.

    ISO 02-04 Renegade Fender Flares

    If you find any, might as well buy some lottery tickets too while you're on a lucky streak! ;)

    How far is too far with high miles?

    Mine didn't have much body rust either, and it drove well, but the frame was toast. What state is the CJ coming from?

    How far is too far with high miles?

    Of course it does, that's a "feature" Jeep built into those models. By the way, 1986 was the last year for the CJ series, an 02 would be a Wrangler TJ. Another popular feature of these models is severe frame rust. My old Wrangler nearly folded in half from a rusted out frame. I'd want to see...

    Help!! Jeep is making a bad noise.

    Wow, that ain't right. You did grease that one? ;)

    Error Code P0430 Catalyst Efficiency

    3 possible causes: bad oxygen sensor(s), bad cat converter, or a leak in the exhaust system. Having the same error code with old and new O2 sensors, you should be able to rule those out. Any exhaust leaks?
