I tried that park it... it will not break.....
The E brake kept poping up, I push with foot and would go back down and few seconds later it poped back up. Kinda like a little kid NO I want to go!

I recut the teeth 2-3 times and better but would still pop. Got one from local jeeper that had some nice parts... works great now.


I guess replace and upgrade till its new... is the only path to reliability. The CJs are 33 yr old or so.

AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l , stock T-18 , stock axles with big brake packages front/rear, power bakes / steering, tilt wheel. Thats pretty decked out for CJ equipment... all stock and the hard top too....Added: Borla Header, jeep alum intake, Weber, MSD Ignition, TeamRush Upgrade & Fixes. Jeep Dana 44 Axle going in the rear.

So Far more work fixing than hours wheeling. The nice spots to wheel here need 1-2 lockers. So to make it need to horse / force more than I would like to ... but it made it.

I have driven 4 hrs into Iowa then back with a trailer and not a single hick up.

Drove 5 hrs up north, wheeled at Gilbert 4 days all day, 5 hrs back work flawless. A friend in his 4 cy fuel injected jeep use 1 less gallon than I did on the way up. He was impressed a 30 yr old CJ could work well and not break.

I did collasp my rusty spring perches on the back AMC20 axle some. I guess even the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l can put some torque out back there. Will be replaced with the Dana 44 new perches in a few wks.

This summer will take a trip out west central US or to east coast and maybe second trip to U P MI. These are 1000 mile trips one way.... so I guess I trust my set up. When I purchased my CJ from Sioux Falls SD it ran out of gas twice on trip to Twin Cities.... that was 8-9 mpg. It now get 23/24 mpg hwy if I am careful with the skinny pedal and drive like the vac gauge is hooked up.

I drove a 1973 Jeep Truck for 5 years or so. Never broke... great truck. I bent the tie rod when stock in ditch once... other than that never broke and never stranded me. So new it could be done... it got 23 mpg hwy



Rescue... I have a 3.54 AMC20 , new moser axles, new bearings & seals, new brake drums and shoes. I was going to use and purchased complete. I am going with 3.73 gears so its for sale..... would like to get $ the axles are $250, brake parts $100. So for all at $ good deal. New parts... there is no rust , dirt, or discoloration on the brakes parts or moser axle flanges exposed.

Missed this post, please follow what I posted in the prior thread. I have no problem if you place and ad and link to it...

It's a jeep breaking down or busting something is normal

 

[Jeepers Creepers CJ]

As a late old friend of mine put it "breaking down and busting parts is all part of the jeep experience". Hence the saying time and time again "JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. I wouldn't have it any other way.:grinjeep:

If so whats your setup.

This whole forum is full of problems and how to fix them. Anybody found a setup that just doenst break?

it a Jeep, we build them and go out and abuse them

taking them out over terrain that others fear

If you aren't breaking things, you aren't pushing the limits.

When something breaks, you beef it and repeat the cycle.

After enough cycles, most of the bugs are worked out.

Then push it harder. . .

You got that right, it's a life time project.
We all enjoy it though or we wouldn't be doing it.

All Jeeps have problems, that's part of the fun.
