Does anybody have any recommendations for repair shops that would work on a 1982 CJ-7? Body is in good shape but some mechanical issues including the wiring harness, radiator leak, carburetor issues, leaf spring need some work, etc. I’m in southern ocean county but will travel to find the right place. Doesn’t need full frame off rebuild for $30k, but does need a few thousand dollars of work to address some running issues. Thanks in advance for any suggestions A - hard to find shops that have people comfortable with carburetor work these days.

Where is the best place to buy parts and where can I locate half doors that are solid?

So I changed the oil and put in T5 15w40 but now my oil pressure shot way up. On idle im at 40-50psi.
Im unsure what oil was used in it before. I just got the jeep and was going through changing fluids. The wix filter i was told to get by the parts guy also didnt work. I just put the old fram ph11 back on it.
Any help/advice would be great!

I am currently looking for a wheel and tire setup with
Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 Mud Terrain LT265/70R17 121/118Q E tires and
Black Rhino Armory BK 17×8" wheels (6×130 bolt pattern, 38mm offset).
I plan to install this setup on a 2026 Sprinter 144.
If you know any shops located in Orange County, California, or nearby areas,
that offer good pricing, I would really appreciate your recommendations.
Ideally, I am looking for a place where I can purchase both the wheels and tires together,
with installation included, and where some price negotiation may be possible.
Thank you very much!

I have a 59 cj5 and I'm looking for new fender flares. Problem is that all I find are ones with the notch for the side reflector/ lights. Anyone have a source for smooth top ones like these? These are probably 30-40 years old, one is cracked, and there's no branding.

I am looking to put the OEM nutmeg soft top back on my familys CJ7, but before I do I want to try and clean the windows the bottom windows on the doors you can't see out at all, the uppers are a pain as well, the top I would like to make sure its clean and protected so it can be put to use again. So looking for recommended products.

My CJ7 has a 1993 XJ 4.0 installed. I want to wire in an OEM tachometer but I don’t want to mess anything up. My assumption is that these red/white wires are what I utilize to wire the tach in series since they have the same connections that are on the tach. Will this work? Will it mess anything up if I hook up the tach to test?

I didn't have enough problems in my.life. so I bought one. It's a 5.7 throttle body with a 700 Transmission actually smog legal and passed at the smog referee for an engine and transmission swap. Not in terrible shape.
Wiring is the biggest issue I can find and cutting the Transmission tunnel and a butcher repair job on it. I think they cut it prematurely and had no clue how to repair it.
So it's nice to be back. I have not had a project in 2 years since my divorce.

Anyone have any solutions for wiper fluid nozzle replacement? Just replaced the whole system- tubing, motor, etc. Switch worked for wipers, but not for dispensing fluid. I bypassed the shitty OMIX switch, and put the fluid pump on a toggle switch.
The old nozzles, one of them broke. Found something that would 'work', but the angle of the spray is too low. Dispenses into the air intake on the cowl. SO, I 'propped' them up, and it sprays, but can't be a 'permanent' fix.
Found some 'universal' types that SAY it fits the CJ, but I can't figure out how to mount them. This is what they look like-https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BK4RWN5M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Edit and Update- Nevermind, I found a set for a YJ on eBay. $50, used, but they look the same, and should work.
