Mostly when I hit a pot hole in 1st or 2nd, it definitely feels and
sounds like somethings falling apart under my feet or maybe the
tranny.  I had a mechanic lift it and take a quick look at the
underside and everything's bolted down good.  Anyone have other

I have gone through at least 4 plastic valve covers in the 20 years I have  
owned my Jeep.  I liked painting them, and dressing up the engine.
I finally spent the extra money and bought an aluminum cover.  It runs  
noticably quieter and little to no oil running over!

Alternative fuel found... renewable source!

I've purchased many plastic valve covers in the 20yrs I have owned my  
CJ7.  I have put silicone around the oil cap, made gaskets and more.
I finally broke down and purchased an aluminum cover.  Runs quieter and  
little to no mess.

resist responding to a couple of posts) because this group, and the

I'm up in rural Alaska and can't shop except via the net so I could use
some help in deciding on a product. My old original tub is rotten so
needing a new one. I'm thinking fiberglass.. don't mind running a couple
extra ground wires. Fiberglass seems easier to work with... and ...

I have a '95 GCL with 4.0L six and 144K miles.
Over the winter, I heard a loud squealing coming from the engine compartment
when I started the engine, and lasted about 5 seconds then disappeared.  It
only seemed to occur at cold engine startup.  Now that its warmer, I noticed

Whining again.
I am still at a dilmma what to do with the soft doors and windows once

A while back I picked up some nice chains at a yard sale and had planned to
used them if needed for towing.  Then I noticed on some of the jeep clubs

Why is that?  Why are tow straps better?  Recoil damage if it brakes?

hoses and clamps are OEM. I currently have original hoses
