I had a similar problem and installed Bilstein shocks because they promote their "upside down technology", allowing the shock to be mounted...
Thanks. That's a good lead. I will check it out.
Thanks for that info. I have checked the pedal and linkage and that all seems good. I will look to see if there is a check valve in the MC outlet...
No. When I first got the Jeep back from the mechanic who did the install the lines WERE reversed. A friend told me that the line coming from the...
I recently upgraded my 1974 CJ5 with front disc brakes. They work well, except for one problem that I haven't been able to figure out. The...
Thanks for the pics! It makes it so much easier for me to see what’s involved with relocating the shock forward of the axle. I think I would...

Re: “unless you run a shock that you can have the body up” In general, and not having to do with this specific application, if the shock fits does...
Hi Nickmil, I get the idea of "clocking", but I don't understand, "The calipers should be clocked upward 1/2 the distance of the drum brake bolt...

I could write an article about the challenges I have encountered in modifying both of my Jeeps, a1967 CJ5 and a1974 CJ5, by changing from front...
There are plenty of videos on You Tube showing how to disassemble a tilt steering column to tighten it up and replace the turn signal switch, but...
Kaiser Willys Auto Supply was real good about sending me a replacement fuel gauge. Unfortunately, the replacement gauge has the same problem. The...
Doh! You're right. I completely missed the point! I read the prior post to mean that the "new" gauges are supposed to put out 12v and are...
Thanks, Howard. That gives me a lead. A post on that link said: The power to both gauges is wired in series, so the 12v power comes to the fuel...
I just replaced my non-functioning fuel gauge with a new one. The new one is different from the old one in that the new one is "solid state". That...
Thank you!
Thanks for the tip!
While investigating another new noise under the 1974 CJ5 on a trip to Matomi Canyon near San Felipe I found a broken "hanger", which I believe is...
