My New CJ - Already have questions
kenny 84 CJ7
Jeeper
Hello All
First want to say this forum was instramental in giving me advice/help in the selection process for my first Jeep CJ7 . I ended up with a 1984 CJ7 that I got for a good price. It was not the year i wanted or the Transmission (T-5 ) but I'm not a huge off roader (yet) and most important was the body. Which is rust free and with the tub rhino lined. I am going to do all the basic checks through the jeep, brakes, fluids, engine, Transmission , but I have one thing that I'm not sure how to address.
My emergency/park brake will not hold the car on a hill. Is this something I can easily tighten? Should I look at replacing it? Right now I park in gear, but I don't want to chance it on hills.
I'm relatively new to this, and don't have a lot of mechanical skill yet, but ready to learn.
Thanks
