Well the tranny was getting much worse on the 10th AE, mine are are still stuck in St. Louis and I can't get a hold of Twin89Stangs so I figured I better stop driving the 10th AE and fix my Jeep. As always parts were cheap, bought two new loaded brake calipers, with pads and new everything $48 each. Bought brand new rotors, $29.00 each, they gave me the older styl dipstick and tub I wanted and the alternator bracket. Installed all of the parts, changed the fluid in the rear end... dman nice to be able to stop! Having owned the vehicle for 8 years I was wishing I had of spent the money a long time ago, nice to slam on the brakes and not be transported into the other lane!



Now I just need to replace the upper radiator hose and the heater core and it's back to 100%

 

good stuff.

 

No good stuff would be if I said I had my trannies in hand and ready to put in next weekend!

 

well at least u got another car running. unlike myself

 

I love my Jeep in that manner, 2 years ago I did all new brakes front and rear, parts were under $200 if I remember right, truck is old faithfull I tell you

 

Yea, I have had my CJ-7 for 8 years, have turned every bolt on the ******, no ****. I used to tear it apart and put it back together cause things weren't the way I liked it, but it has taken a lot of abuse.... a lot of abuse LOL.



I just rebuilt the 258, bored it .040, but the weber 2 stage carb on it.. damn it is nice, plenty of HP that is for sure.

 

Its nice being able to crawl under your vehicle without using jackstands.

 

LOL you mean sit

 

Yea, thats true.
