Been reading some posts on the "How many miles are on your TJ?" thread....
Lots of guys use synthetic!
How much better is this for your engine?
I'd put it in if it was better....but would I void warrantee by using

I have an 88 YJ 4.2l, L6, stock carter 2bbl, 258 engine. The carb has seen
better days. Re-built twice and now dumping fuel when I come to a stop
stalling the jeep.
I am looking at the weber k551. Any suggestions??

Claims engine/trans strong but needs misc work to pass PA inspection.
After addressing the inspection items, what else should I be looking for/at?

Thanks to all you guys with the TJ manifold advice!! I got a new
custom one online..when I had the old one changed yesterday, the guy
saved it to show it to me. I had gotten under and looked and seen a
few spider cracks, but don't know how I missed that the entire fat

Hey Guys,
 Here's a pic of the main bearings from #2 through #6 where #2 is at the
bottom of the pic and # is at the top.  You can see the worst is #6 and I'm
curious about #3.  What is that thing wrapped around the sides of #3.  Is

Ok guys, don't laugh.  This is running through my head as a possible plan.
If I can get a collapsible engine hoist I think I could pull the engine
without my manager knowing the better.  Then the question is to get the
block to the machinist.  He is only a couple of miles away.

I'm assuming shocks also help control rebound weight.  The greater the weight

I want to make a nifty, simple dash for it similar to a YJ's dash. I want it
to be fairly strong (thinking 1/8" metal) but would thinner to the trick to

Couple questions for the group. I'm looking to do a tune up on my '99 XJ 4.0
and came across some "tune up kits" from various vendors. Anyone ever use
them? Worth the money, they price out from $40 - $55? Am I better off
piecing the kit together myself?

Hello all, first post here at rec. I lurk at alt. but have just started
lurking here ... I'm wondering how much power loss I'm gonna have going to a
bigger tire on my '04 TJ, I realize I'm going to loose 5th gear - not to
upset about that... wondering if anyone may have a suggestion ...

I have just bought four ARB 10k lbs rated tow hooks and before I go and
start installing them (I have to wait for the cyclone to stop dumping rain
in Auckland), I just wanted to ask a couple of questions.  I have done my
research on the internet and found a number of links, an ...

I'm looking for some help and recommendations regarding car alarms and
installations.  Since most of the shops in my area(Philly, PA) want
between $200-$500 to install a unit I'm thinking about doing it
myself.  I have a background in electronics, but not car electrical
