I have the HPS hoses already actually, and I’ve got Gates for my rear heater. I haven’t been able to determine if Gates makes the 9mm size though.

I’m trying to update the cooling system hoses on my ‘96 80 to all silicone. I’ve gotten most of them swapped, but I’ve been having some trouble with the smaller sizes. Does anyone know where I could find/who makes 9mm heater hose? I bought a length of 3/8 inch (~9.5mm) but I’ve noticed a few...

I've got some. Still trying to find info on the sending unit/seal

I can tell by looking at the front of the block that it's not from the valve covers- I've replaced the distributor seal and the oil pump and crankshaft seal, but I'm still having leakage from up front. Based on how dry and brittle every seal I've replaced has been, I'm probably going to replace...

I hate to start a thread about it but I can't seem to find info via search on here or google. I have what'd I'd call a Class 2 leak on the underside of my engine. I'd imagine the pan and or main seals leak, but I'm not ready to tackle them yet. There is a channel that goes under the pan in the...

Can someone shine a light on tying this in to the ignition?

Hi- Today I essentially completed the majority of the wiring of a Blue Sea auxillary fuse box. Months ago, I installed two 12v outlets and ran the wires to the driver's seat. I ran 4ga cables from the battery to the box, but I'd like to also insert some form of relay to tie it into the...

I'm having some water build up on the passenger side floorboard of my 96 FZJ80. I ran a good 5-6 feet of weed eater string through the sunroof drains, chased it with some water and a spray cleaner, and it ran clear, but it's still getting damp. I found the AC drain hose that drains to the...

Yeah that's what I thought too. This might be one of those rare occasions when it'd be nice to have a jeep instead :/

I broke my passenger side taillight today whilst not paying as good of attention as I should have. Are there any decent tail light protection options outside of a bumper with built-ins? I feel like the cage type ones that most Mall-crawlers have are flimsy and do more damage than good in an...

Fingers crossed for the seal to swell. If it is the arch seal, would the oil "leak upwards?" Like would the crankshaft pulley or wind/fan pull oil upwards at all? I haven't ruled out the drain plug itself leaking too, but it historically hasn't.

PS I also did the distributor seal a few months back, so I know it's not excess coming from it

I did the oil pump and crankshaft seal a few weeks ago (some may recall my posts regarding a tapping after completion which turned out to be the fan pulley which wasn't all the way tightened) and I think I may have worsened a leak possibly. I've noticed oil drops from the drain plug (aka the...

Armor/bulletproof glass, George Zimmerman-proofing are my first two suggestions

I have a big floor Jack, and I trust it, it was just the jack stands. 6 ton are hard to find and I'm not sure if I trust Harbor Fright
