xs 2It would be in your best interest to (if you can and have time) - learn a little about working on your CJ yourself... These things are pretty old and require a pretty constant inspection regiment (they get treated pretty rough).
Being as old as they are - they are actually (for the most part) quite easy to work on. With just a few basic hand tools, we can walk you through just about all the inspection things you need to do. I would highly suggest you get a little dirty and help yourself!
If your up for a small amount of work, we can give you a easy check list to follow to determine what the problem is and also help you to fix it!
these things are a labor of love, you do not buy them as DDs unless you really can do a few items.
the best bet would be to ask advice, and do things as stated slowly, put down an old towell and place the parts in order and alignment as you take them off so you can follow the trail back on.
that diff showed have turned the other wheel backward, now we need to find out why it did not. Could be a simple cure, hopefully it is.
anyway, learning to wrench on these is really a lot of fun, and you have a sense of accomplishment that you are keeping it alive, not someone you are paying. They are an American Icon.
