Subject: Cooling system upgrade time
Well the tstat on my 87 XJ took a dump last night. Anyway it's running just about the first mark (140* ?) with the a/c on and about ~165* with it off. So I think it's stuck open. Guess if I have to break open the system I might as well uipgrade to an open system. Any recommendations on where to get a radiator and what type?
Thanks

Subject: Update on Yellow Optima Batteries Group Buy
Well, I have do have some good news and some bad news. I thought I
would be getting new batteries but they are not. They are only 2
months old and pulled from ambulances to ensure that the ambulance
always has a new battery in it for safety reasons. My understanding
is that these batteries were not pushed hard at all and even in some
cases never used at all depending on the activity of the ambulance.
Good news is that they will be load tested, and will be just as good
as new. The guy who got one for me and one for himself thought they
were brand new because they had 0 signs of use. This probably
changes this for some of you that are interested, if you still want
one or two let me know.
Price will be set at $100. Also there is a limited supply of these
but I should be able to get enough over the next few weeks to get to
everyone. Please e-mail me if you are still interested.
Thanks,
Angel

Subject: Anyone know where to get a winch fixed?
I am looking at buying a used Ramsey winch from a co-worker of a
friend of mine. It's off his full size Ford-250 built into his
bumper, so I'm pretty sure it have an 8000 lb or larger rating on
it. Only problem is that is won't send let the cable spool out but
it can still pull. He only want $50 and I have to pull it from the
truck myself. Is this something I should look at or is it more
trouble than it's worth? Anyone in the group know how to fix a
winch or know of a company that does?

I have other obligations to take care of after work, but could

Because I dont have the tools or the knowledge to do it my self. I could

need to have it fixed by tonight so I can goto work tomorrow.
I have the complete wheel to wheel rear end. And the numbers on it are the

I'd suggest looking at it yourself before taking it somewhere. It

Dave,
The factory hood vents are nice, but what purpose do they fulfill by
sitting over the air box and the battery? I vented my ZJ over the

The Willys project is coming along. We have the gantry up and are

I can tell you that the vents on my 98 5.9 Limited work well, you can feel the heat coming out of them for sure. I would have to think that Chrysler engineers did lots of tests and the like before they placed the vents where they did. It does the trick on my beast so I see no need to move them (and then have to fill in the holes)

Subject: Re: PLEASE HELP MY JEEP!!(Getting the parts today)
Swapping in an axle is pretty easy if it's a bolt-in replacement.
Here is a likely sequence of steps:
(1) Drop rear driveshaft.
You can just disconnect the axle end of the shaft.
(2) Disconnect shocks.
You can just do lower ends and let them hang.
(3) Jack up Jeep and place on jackstands.
You'll want to place the jackstands under the frame
to let the rear axle/springs droop. This means you
need some tall jackstands or some wood blocks to put
under some shorter jackstands.
(3) Remove wheels and brake drums.
(4) Disconnect parking brake cables.
You have to do this at each rear wheel. (I think. I seem
to be spacing it on this.)
(5) Disconnect brakeline(s).
If the new axle comes with brakelines attached, then you'll
just need to disconnect the soft line from the hard line
T-fitting on the axle housing. Otherwise, you'll need to
remove the hard line from your axle to install on the new
axle. The breather tube attaches to a hollow bolt that
holds the T-fitting to the axle tube. Simply remove that
bolt to remove the T-fitting and hard line from the axle.
A brakeline wrench might be needed here as the brakeline
fittings are brass and a brakeline wrench will minimize
chances of rounding off the corners of the fittings.
(6) Remove the u-bolts the clamp the axle to the springs.
If your u-bolts are bent or the threads are messed up,
you might have trouble reusing them. Be prepared to
get new u-bolts.
(7) Place a jack under the axle and raise to take weight off
the springs.
(8) Raise jack enough to lift jack off the springs.
(9) Remove lower spring shackle bolt on one side and let
end of spring rest on the ground.
(10) Slide old axle out.
(11) Slide new axle into position.
(12) Reconnect everything in opposite order of above.
(13) Bleed brakes.
Make sure ahead of time that you have plenty of brake fluid.
Hope this helps.

Great Writeup Roger... There are a few Changes since he has a TJ and not a

No spring U-bolts to disconnect.

Sooooo...what's the bottom line? When do you need to have it rolling again? Is tonight a "must do"?
If it's your only transportation, we'll figure out something and hammer it out tonight. But if you can a wait a day or two, and get things planned out, that would be a bit easier.
Concerning tools, what do you have and what do you need? Got a floor jack and jack stands?
I'm a leaf spring guy, so would like some input you guys with the roundy-round springs concerning anything special for axle removal. Is the concept the same - support Jeep by frame, allow axle to droop and then simply unbolt everything?

Hello. I have a YJ and have had both stock mirrors and after market mirrors. The ones I have now are the Steelhorse replacement mirrors that were !supposed! to have dual focal points on them. Well, as it turns out, they don't. Anyway, I've tightened the torx screw as tight as I can get it and they still turn down when I hit highway speeds. Has anyone gotten the stock style mirrors to not do that? Can you put some goop in there somewhere or something? Also, to pass along some bad press to you guys, I bought the mirror relocation brackets also. Well, when you mount the passenger side mirror, it sits too far forward and you can't really see out of it. So, they are worthless for that reason. What a pain!

Yes, and guess what, if you tighten too much you break the plastic
spacers. The Steelhorse aftermarket
mirrors kind of really suck, especially on a YJ. I'm planning on
reinforcing mine with some stock steel
strips and hose clamps. I'll let you know how this turns out.

P.S. Of course, if you reinforce the mirrors like I plan to do, the
first thing that'll happen when
you go offroad is that you'll hit a branch and instead of rotating
inward the mirror will just
break off altogether. *shrug*

Subject: Update on Yellow Optima Batteries Group Buy
Well, I have do have some good news and some bad news. I thought I
would be getting new batteries but they are not. They are only 2
months old and pulled from ambulances to ensure that the ambulance
always has a new battery in it for safety reasons. My understanding
is that these batteries were not pushed hard at all and even in some
cases never used at all depending on the activity of the ambulance.
Good news is that they will be load tested, and will be just as good
as new. The guy who got one for me and one for himself thought they
were brand new because they had 0 signs of use. This probably
changes this for some of you that are interested, if you still want
one or two let me know.
Price will be set at $100. Also there is a limited supply of these
but I should be able to get enough over the next few weeks to get to
everyone. Please e-mail me if you are still interested.

I can tell you that the vents on my 98 5.9 Limited work well, you can feel the heat coming out of them for sure. I would have to think that Chrysler engineers did lots of tests and the like before they placed the vents where they did. It does the trick on my beast so I see no need to move them (and then have to fill in the holes)

Subject: Re: PLEASE HELP MY JEEP!!(Getting the parts today)
Swapping in an axle is pretty easy if it's a bolt-in replacement.
Here is a likely sequence of steps:
(1) Drop rear driveshaft.
You can just disconnect the axle end of the shaft.
(2) Disconnect shocks.
You can just do lower ends and let them hang.
(3) Jack up Jeep and place on jackstands.
You'll want to place the jackstands under the frame
to let the rear axle/springs droop. This means you
need some tall jackstands or some wood blocks to put
under some shorter jackstands.
(3) Remove wheels and brake drums.
(4) Disconnect parking brake cables.
You have to do this at each rear wheel. (I think. I seem
to be spacing it on this.)
(5) Disconnect brakeline(s).
If the new axle comes with brakelines attached, then you'll
just need to disconnect the soft line from the hard line
T-fitting on the axle housing. Otherwise, you'll need to
remove the hard line from your axle to install on the new
axle. The breather tube attaches to a hollow bolt that
holds the T-fitting to the axle tube. Simply remove that
bolt to remove the T-fitting and hard line from the axle.
A brakeline wrench might be needed here as the brakeline
fittings are brass and a brakeline wrench will minimize
chances of rounding off the corners of the fittings.
(6) Remove the u-bolts the clamp the axle to the springs.
If your u-bolts are bent or the threads are messed up,
you might have trouble reusing them. Be prepared to
get new u-bolts.
(7) Place a jack under the axle and raise to take weight off
the springs.
(8) Raise jack enough to lift jack off the springs.
(9) Remove lower spring shackle bolt on one side and let
end of spring rest on the ground.
(10) Slide old axle out.
(11) Slide new axle into position.
(12) Reconnect everything in opposite order of above.
(13) Bleed brakes.
Make sure ahead of time that you have plenty of brake fluid.
Hope this helps.

Sooooo...what's the bottom line? When do you need to have it rolling again? Is tonight a "must do"?
If it's your only transportation, we'll figure out something and hammer it out tonight. But if you can a wait a day or two, and get things planned out, that would be a bit easier.
Concerning tools, what do you have and what do you need? Got a floor jack and jack stands?
I'm a leaf spring guy, so would like some input you guys with the roundy-round springs concerning anything special for axle removal. Is the concept the same - support Jeep by frame, allow axle to droop and then simply unbolt everything?

I was going to mount my 20 year old 40 channel Cobra overhead,
looked at different types to hool to the roll cage. The guys at
Apollo Communications showed me the Cobra 75WX ST that a lot of Jeep
people are putting in. Talk about a clean set up. The cost of the
Cobra is better than putting in the overhead with my old CB.
Its been since the Jamboree in Florence in 02 since I used the CB
and I forget which channel the club normally uses for saying HI on

Subject: how do you get mirrors to now turn down?
Hello. I have a YJ and have had both stock mirrors and after market mirrors. The ones I have now are the Steelhorse replacement mirrors that were !supposed! to have dual focal points on them. Well, as it turns out, they don't. Anyway, I've tightened the torx screw as tight as I can get it and they still turn down when I hit highway speeds. Has anyone gotten the stock style mirrors to not do that? Can you put some goop in there somewhere or something? Also, to pass along some bad press to you guys, I bought the mirror relocation brackets also. Well, when you mount the passenger side mirror, it sits too far forward and you can't really see out of it. So, they are worthless for that reason. What a pain!

Yes, and guess what, if you tighten too much you break the plastic
spacers. The Steelhorse aftermarket
mirrors kind of really suck, especially on a YJ. I'm planning on
reinforcing mine with some stock steel
strips and hose clamps. I'll let you know how this turns out.
Tony
P.S. Of course, if you reinforce the mirrors like I plan to do, the
first thing that'll happen when
you go offroad is that you'll hit a branch and instead of rotating
inward the mirror will just
break off altogether. *shrug*
