Instead of sharing my CJ with my wife I decided to buy her one for
herself! Agreement is I get to pick the modifications she gets to
help pay for them and turn the wrenches to put them in place.
Here is my question to the group: How good are fiberglass bodies
for a CJ7? I need to replace the tub and windshield as rust is all
that remains. I see that glass is half the price of steel and I'm
having a hard time finding a good used tub in the local (within 300
miles) area.
Any tips or advise would be appreciated

Matt:
Did they tell you anything else about this H20 contamination? What kinds of problems were you having with the diffs that brought the dealership to this conclusion? If there is water in the diffs I would think that changing the diff fluid would take care of the problem. This would take about 4 quarts of redline (this would do both diffs with some left over) at about $7.00 a quart and some gasket making material, good stuff about $10.00. Total cost $38.00 tops.
Is there something that I might be missing here? If so help me out gang.

Subject: Hell Yeah!!
This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.
America: The Good Neighbor.
Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable
editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as
printed in the Congressional Record:
"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most
generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of
the debris of war by Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave
other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the
interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956,it was the Americans who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the
streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in
to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes.
Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars! into
discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about
the decadent, warmongering Americans.
I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the
erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other
country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why
do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the
moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk
about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American
technocracy, and you find men on the moon -! not once, but several times -
and safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store
window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued
and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are
breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home
to spend here.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through
age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad
and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both
are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other
people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to
the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during
the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired
of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with
their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at
the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is
not one of those."
Stand proud, America!

Date: Thu Sep 13, 2001 9:36pm
Subject: Re: Fiberglass tub for a CJ7
Well.....I have a glass tub on mine and have some opinions on the subject
(surprise, surprise).
Pluses:
1) The glass tub is really nice in terms of the straight body lines. But
then a steel one will be that way too.
2) Fiberglass tubs are lighter than steel tubs (but not much).
3) WAY easy to trim fenders!!!!!
That's about where the good points end.
Here are the bad points.
1) Trying to screw or attach ANYTHING to it is a joke. You can NOT use
sheet metal screws and expect it to hold. Everything either has to be
bolted through or extra special blind inserts and backing stuff has to be
used to mount things.
2) Absolutely MUST tie all seat belts to frame in some way, be it through
bars that mount seat and tie to roll cage which ties to frame or something.
Steel is at least a lot safer with this reguard.
3) Wiring grounding is rediculous. Every ground for a wire, light, etc,
has to travel back to the frame. A REAL PITA on Jeep that has some rust on
the frame. Good luck finding a good ground. I have 2 or 3 ground blocks
located strategically around the Jeep just for these types of uses.
4) Body doesn't just bend, it snaps off pieces. My windshield frame is
already splitting after having caught the corner on a tree. At least steel
bends and still holds. Fiberglass delaminates and just plain quits.
5) Did I mention you can't screw anything to it? Try attaching the upper
bikini top rail to the top of the window frame and have it hold permanently.
The screws MUST go into a blind hole and they eventually work themselves
out. Once they work themselves out, they never hold again. And most likely
you will strip out the hole anyway. Just a NIGHTMARE.
So my obvious suggestion is for a steel tub. Even if someone was going to
GIVE me a fiberglass tub for free, I wouldn't take it!!!!!! My Jeep came
with the fiberglass tub when I bought it. Had I known then what I know now,
I never would have bought it. Get the steel one and save yourself the
headaches and heart aches later.

trax. the difference in cost is almost $200.00. I've been told that
in the front (Dana 30) it really doesn't make much difference which
one you use. Opinions anyone?

Just to add, the last time I spoke to Ken at Powertrax in Feb., he
told me both the Lockrights and No-Slips were only "good up to 33"
tires, and that was pushing their limits".
Everyone has probably been told different things, that's what I was
told. However, I have personally been involved with both a broken
Lockright (cross-pin, locker teeth) and a No-Slip (locker teeth),
under a 4cyl TJ with 33s...BUT everyone else's experiences may be

Matt:
Did they tell you anything else about this H20 contamination? What kinds of problems were you having with the diffs that brought the dealership to this conclusion? If there is water in the diffs I would think that changing the diff fluid would take care of the problem. This would take about 4 quarts of redline (this would do both diffs with some left over) at about $7.00 a quart and some gasket making material, good stuff about $10.00. Total cost $38.00 tops.
Is there something that I might be missing here? If so help me out gang.

Subject: Hell Yeah!!
This, from a Canadian newspaper, is worth sharing.
America: The Good Neighbor.
Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable
editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television
commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as
printed in the Congressional Record:
"This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most
generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth.
Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of
the debris of war by Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave
other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the
interest on its remaining debts to the United States.
When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956,it was the Americans who
propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the
streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.
When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in
to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes.
Nobody helped.
The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars! into
discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about
the decadent, warmongering Americans.
I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the
erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other
country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the
Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why
do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes?
Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the
moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk
about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American
technocracy, and you find men on the moon -! not once, but several times -
and safely home again.
You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store
window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued
and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are
breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home
to spend here.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through
age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad
and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both
are still broke.
I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other
people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to
the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during
the San Francisco earthquake.
Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired
of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with
their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at
the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is
not one of those."
Stand proud, America!

Date: Thu Sep 13, 2001 9:36pm
Subject: Re: Fiberglass tub for a CJ7
Well.....I have a glass tub on mine and have some opinions on the subject
(surprise, surprise).
Pluses:
1) The glass tub is really nice in terms of the straight body lines. But
then a steel one will be that way too.
2) Fiberglass tubs are lighter than steel tubs (but not much).
3) WAY easy to trim fenders!!!!!
That's about where the good points end.
Here are the bad points.
1) Trying to screw or attach ANYTHING to it is a joke. You can NOT use
sheet metal screws and expect it to hold. Everything either has to be
bolted through or extra special blind inserts and backing stuff has to be
used to mount things.
2) Absolutely MUST tie all seat belts to frame in some way, be it through
bars that mount seat and tie to roll cage which ties to frame or something.
Steel is at least a lot safer with this reguard.
3) Wiring grounding is rediculous. Every ground for a wire, light, etc,
has to travel back to the frame. A REAL PITA on Jeep that has some rust on
the frame. Good luck finding a good ground. I have 2 or 3 ground blocks
located strategically around the Jeep just for these types of uses.
4) Body doesn't just bend, it snaps off pieces. My windshield frame is
already splitting after having caught the corner on a tree. At least steel
bends and still holds. Fiberglass delaminates and just plain quits.
5) Did I mention you can't screw anything to it? Try attaching the upper
bikini top rail to the top of the window frame and have it hold permanently.
The screws MUST go into a blind hole and they eventually work themselves
out. Once they work themselves out, they never hold again. And most likely
you will strip out the hole anyway. Just a NIGHTMARE.
So my obvious suggestion is for a steel tub. Even if someone was going to
GIVE me a fiberglass tub for free, I wouldn't take it!!!!!! My Jeep came
with the fiberglass tub when I bought it. Had I known then what I know now,
I never would have bought it. Get the steel one and save yourself the
headaches and heart aches later.

Subject: RE: Lock Right vs Power Trax
John,
When I purchased my front NoSlip 1.5 years ago it was my understanding it
was rated for up to a 37" tire. The Lockrites were rated for up to a 33".
I'm not sure if that is still the rating but it influenced my decision on
whether to buy the Lockrite or NoSlip.

Subject: [az_vjc] Lock Right vs Power Trax
I'm going to put a front locker in. At this time the ARB or OX is out
of the question. I'm looking for opinions on the lock right and power
trax. the difference in cost is almost $200.00. I've been told that
in the front (Dana 30) it really doesn't make much difference which
one you use. Opinions anyone?
Thanks in advance,
John Butler

Just to add, the last time I spoke to Ken at Powertrax in Feb., he
told me both the Lockrights and No-Slips were only "good up to 33"
tires, and that was pushing their limits".
Everyone has probably been told different things, that's what I was
told. However, I have personally been involved with both a broken
Lockright (cross-pin, locker teeth) and a No-Slip (locker teeth),
under a 4cyl TJ with 33s...BUT everyone else's experiences may be
different.
