Clicking instead of cranking should probably be diagnosed in this order: Battery state of charge Cleanliness/tightness of all connections between...
Cool. Thanks! Also, the Chilton's manual shows an electrical oil pressure gauge and the Jeep has an electric sender and harness down at the...
I've gotten most of the wiring into this CJ7, but all the emissions stuff is missing and it had been chopped on some so if anyone has a nice...
It's possible - the rear fenders both lean one direction about 1/2". Can't find obvious evidence it was ever hit, but it's not perfectly straight....
That's what I was thinking - the tub's going to have to be caddywampus on the frame ever-so-slightly to fix it.
After putting the front end on this CJ7 I've been working on, I have some alignment issues. The tub is perfectly centered over the frame and the...
