Let's see your Jeep

Let's see your Jeep

Anyone have any good pictures of your rig? I love seeing what other
people have done to their Jeeps. In an attempt to see some of them,
I've added a gallery to my website that anyone can upload to.

It's completely anonymous if you want it to be (no registration
required), and you can rate any pictures there. So upload your pic,
rate some others, and see how your jeep rates compared to others.

Just go to http :// www .4x4owners,com /cpg and click on the upload file
link or go directly to http :// www .4x4owners,com /cpg/upload.php.

On a side note, my 84 CJ7 is down for the count. 2 months ago,
driving to camp, the oil pressure gauge pegged high (yes high) about 5
miles from camp. I managed to make it to camp, found out I lost about
2 quarts of oil. Needless to say, I blew a seal on the engine. I did
get the Jeep home following that after refilling the oil, lost another
quart and a half that for the most part burned off the exhaust
manifold as it flew down the side of the block. I'm hoping the high
pressure problem is just a PCV valve, but I plan on doing a
compression test on the cylinders to make sure it's nothing more
severe. And I have to replace the leaking seal. But after the past
year, and all the problems I've had with this engine I'm about at the
point where I might just find a new small block chevy for it, and get
rid of the one I have.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing some pics!

Sorry to hear about your Jeep. My opinion is I hate to see others Jeeps for
two reasons.

1. I just got mine and I haven't had time to get it personalized.
2. I see all the goodys I want on mine so my pocketbook goes to crying.

lol

Joking aside, Actually I do like to see others Jeeps, it gives me a good
idea of what I wanna do with mine.

I'm sort of the same way. I've been saving to do some major work on
mine for a while, and I'm finally getting close to the point where I
can. So, that's why I want to get some good ideas from other people's
jeeps.

The past 2 years looking at Quadratec and Tellico4x4 catalogs were
definitely painful though!

Re: Let's see your Jeep

I doubt anyone would be very interested in pictures of mine. It's a
pretty much stock 2 door red 96 Cherokee with about 350,000 miles on it
that I (obviously) drive the piss out of. This past weekend I put
another 1000 miles on it (at 22 MPG) driving through the the mountains
to Gatlinburg TN and back.

It ain't pretty, but I'd drive it anywhere... even with it's funky
ignition switch <G>

Good luck with your Jeep. I just put a couple of pictures in the Jeep
section. Thanks for providing a space, it would be great to know what
each group member is driving.

Thanks. I'm going to try and get the CJ back and kicking before I put
it away for the winter.

Question for you NRS. Where was that picture taken with the mountains
in the background? Looks like a sweet spot.

It's in a canyon near Monterrey, Mexico called "La Huasteca" in the
Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. It has some incredible vistas but
has been invaded by squatters over the years.

High oil pressure should not cause a seal to blow. That would be caused
by high crankcase pressure.

PCV valve has nothing to do with oil pressure.

I doubt you will tell anything from a compression test. A cylinder
leakdown test would be more helpful for the symtoms you have.

Thanks Mike, I'll plan on the leakdown test too. My brother is

he's there.
