Awesome!
What is your ground clearance?

When I get around to putting my seats back into my project, I am considering getting neoprene covers. Particularly, the drivers seat needs re-upholstered (and maybe new or additional cushioning) but until I can afford that... Any thoughts? Weather proof re-upholstering about the same $ as neoprene?
Thanks

Actually, it said to be a mechanic's shop manual.

Has anyone seen a "shop manual"? If so, how does it compare to Chilton's and Haynes? I have an opportunity to buy one (approx. $80 (internet)), but I don't want to chance wasting my money. The manual is for a CJ-8. Thanks in advance for your input.

So....exactly what do we need to do to get the 10% discount from Quadratec?

1. Tire pressure - check your sidewall for max. per max. load.
- the higher the pressure the better the gas mileage.
- personal preference...32 - 35 psi
2. Shim in steering wheel - balance or alignment problem in the front.
shim while in your seat - balance or other from the rear end (of the vehicle).

I'll keep this in mind whenever I get mine on the road.
How long have you been running yours before you had to make this update?

John,
Where did you get the "tygon tubing kit"?

OK, nobody has one. I'll go buy one. Then when you need to bleed your brakes (all by yourself) you can contact me.

I agree with using the first, more basic one. The second looks to be more like a Holloween pumpkin face and somehow seems to be taking a design idea Jeep used with mountains.

Yes John, I am. Thanks for remembering. Would you like to come over and see the progress. I am at a new address.

4" suspension, lowered transmission/transfer case, 1" body lift for 35" tires. Yes, I realize I can put the transmission/transfer case back up where it was. But, for right now I am looking for options without making that change.

For those who have manual trannys, and have done a body lift, how did you compensate for the additional extension needed on the rod for the clutch pedal to the linkage I'm thinking of cutting mine and welding an extension. But actually I'm looking for different ideas.

Thanks

Does anyone have a brake bleeder vacuum kit I may borrow :question:

Thanks Tigercb12 and astape.

Tigercb12, I have the Haynes and Chilton books. Yes, I find them very helpful. I have found out the "Rebuilder's Manual" covers a '70's CJ-5. Which I am told is little to no help for the CJ-8.

Astape, I was told that Summit has something, but I couldn't find it (until now). Thanks

Does anyone in the Wilmington area have a '72 - '86 CJ Rebuilder's Manual? I am considering getting one but would like to see what is in it first.
Does anyone have or know where to get a rollover check valve for an '82 CJ?

Thanks
Glen
