Replacing Seats on a No Top YJ
3
Replacing Seats on a No Top YJ Before I start, I d like to say that I have read just about every YJ seat swap thread I could find. Doing the swap isn t the question I have. At least not until I get stuck lol.
Since I am going to go topless almost full time with only a bimini/safari top, I m thinking about weather. Located in SoCal, so rain isn t a huge issue, but I still don t want to ruin seats when it inevitably does.
Leather will probably be too hot with this sun. Will cloth get ruined with rain or sun? I see a lot of people use the neoprene seat covers. Are there other better choices out there?
Differential exterior cleaning and blasting
1
Suspension: Stock Happy Easter!
I m thinking of having my axles re-geared with new bearings etc at East Coast Gear Supply (I live in NC, not too far from ECGS and would not have to ship). I don t have the skills or tools to re-gear myself and certainly wouldn t want my first re-gear attempt be on these diffs. ECGS will of course do all the mechanical work, but do not do any cleaning (blasting) or painting. They prefer to work on complete units that have not been disassembled and this is understandable.
I was thinking about cleaning, sand blasting, and painting the differential exteriors before taking to ECGS and I m sure they would like to work on nice clean units. Can they be completely assembled when blasted? Is there much trouble keeping media out of the brakes, axle and yolk bearings and seals? Is it possible to do a first class paint job on assembled units. I also plan to replace and/or rebuild all brake components.
Rochester 2SE Carb Adjustment Hello,
First time posting here, I have a 1980 cj5 I’m getting up and running again after a number of years. It’s running ok but didn’t pass emissions with high co2. I believe it’s running rich idle seems a little high, would like to try and adjust the carb but cannot seem to find the screws to adjust fuel/air mixture.
It’s an Rochester 2se carb with the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder motor. Here is an Amazon link of the carb, can someone help me find the location of the adjustment screw(s)?
Been following for a bit and seems there are quite a few knowledgeable folks on here, appreciate any help you can provide. Cant find much about this carb in the manuals I think they only put this motor in few a few years.

Soft top Issues I recently tried to install a new Smittybilt (#9870215) top onto a new Rampage (#69999) frame kit and it appears that the frame will need to be modified to fit the top. This really irritates me and I am asking for some advice. maybe I am doing something wrong? Thanks
