    Need valve cover bolt size

    So I just dropped a grommet (rear most) and 't' sleeve referenced as "sleeve, torque limiter" in @Jerry Bransford s schematic, though mine are 't' shaped and not just what looks like a sleeve in the pic. Anyhow...I can't find it. Just burned two hours reaching behind the block, crawling under...

    Best gear ratio for 33s with NSG370 6-speed

    Depends on what you are doing with it. Dedicated offroader or more offroading than on road, I'd consider 4.56. I have the same tranny and 33s with 4.10s and think its a good combo for what I do with it. By no means a dog and I'm not spooling up to infinity on the highway.

    In an urgent bind: TJ won't crank

    My DD is in the shop, so I'm down a car as it is. TJ got stuck today, wouldn't crank. This morning when I turned the key, it hesitated before it began to crank. Thought it was my imagination, pre coffee, until I got stuck this afternoon. Luckily there was a guy with a rope that got me moving...

    Transfer Case Shifter Handle Extension

    It was pretty tight. I did take the spring off the handle. That left a nice hole in my thumb. I assume you are talking about removing the spring from the shaft that the handle passes through? Sorry for the stupidity, but....

    Transfer Case Shifter Handle Extension

    Question for you if you would: Got my console off Sunday, pulled the clip, and couldn't get the existing handle to budge. It had obviously been wet, at least a few times, and had some corrosion. Being I was on the back end of the flu and in no mood to argue with it, I sprayed a liberal dose...

    Any advice on how to get these lug nuts off?

    When I got my TJ this spring, I bending the lug wrench and not moving the nuts. Cursed whomever put them on. Took them to my buddy's shop....took a 4' long socket wrench with a breaker bar extending it to pop them. With significant deflection at that. According to him, its not from...

    Replace u-joints with ball joints?

    As to the hub/bearing, if one is going, the other will follow shortly, so do both while you are in there. At least thats been my experience.

    Transfer case shifter

    I bought the same exact part; came in this week and its sitting on my counter - tomorrow's project. Didn't necessarily want to hear that, but not a deal killer. How much did you have to trim?

    Painting a hardtop

    I painted my YJ back in the day with a 1 part paint I got at Sipersteins. Rolled and tipped it, it came out great and lasted. Any marine stores near you? Lots of one part topside paints designed for fiberglass applications, they probably can steer you best

    $18 Fuel Injectors?

    I pulled 12 injectors from my outboards last year and sent them to injector-rehab.com. <$20 per and very quick turnaround. I really don't think you can do what the shops do on your own.
