    AmCar Tuesdays / Amcarowe Wtorki (Warsaw, Poland)

    Possibly, didn't have chance to talk to the guy... Or a gal, I don't know! Plates may be just for show, so no guarantee it's actually from TX. But that thig is huge, hard to imagine that back in the day that was a "regular car" size. There is always like 5 cop cars or so on Amcar Tuesdays...

    AmCar Tuesdays / Amcarowe Wtorki (Warsaw, Poland)

    After attending couple of car meets I thought I'd share this one, because we had not one, not two but three square bodies in one place at same time ;) That's the record I think :) No, but seriously, there are some regular car meets that happen in Poland, with Warsaw being the capital and...

    Rear bench won't latch

    Answering to myself for anyone for future reference, but I solved the issue. The thing I've noticed looking for how to fix the bench seat is that my arm rests were pointing way up compared to the photos I found indicating that something is off with seat geometry. So I loosened 4 T45 bolts on...

    Newbie

    Hi Sid, welcome! Ah, the prices you can get square bodies in the US! That makes me jealous.. I'm just about 5000 miles away from AR and at that distance a nonworking burnt engine SBC would be couple of thousands $$$ >.<

    TH350 To a 700r4 transmission

    Unlimited mile warranty on a transmission that can be easily damaged by misaligning one cable, I wonder if this warranty is worth anything...

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    Did the mod, ended up buying a different one than linked above. Steering is so much more precise now! Some notes: -These plastic inserts holding both halves together are most likely PTFE/Teflon. It emits highly toxic fumes when heated. Do it outside and mind the wind direction. -After removing...

    $40 well spent on OEM buzzer

    I want a buzzer too! Just found out this weekend that there is a nice big socket labelled BUZZER under the dash. Obviously empty as I almost forgot my lights couple of times. Buzzer has multiple prongs, does it have a different buzzer for a different thing, e.g. no seatbelt, open door with...

    Headliner questions

    Also some foam or other insulation between roof and headliner board may help reduce heat wanting to unstick the headliner. I used Sovereign Trim Stay to glue the carpet to plywood sheets that act as my headliner, it suppose to be a high temp adhesive, but didn't have a chance to test it yet in...

    Rear bench won't latch

    Hi, my 3rd row bench won't latch to the floor. It won't go down enough for the latch to engage. Before I try to find the solution myself can anyone see something wrong with my bench latch? Nothing seems off, apart for the fact it bottoms out near the handle before latch can grab the rod in the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Added missing window tint on one side and replaced scratched and discolored (and too transparent) tint on barn doors. It's so hard to find a brown tint that would match factory tint, had to go with a 20% brown which is not that brown and more transparent than factory tint.

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    It did it again, so I jerry rigged vacuum gauge on a cowl measuring vacuum past the check valve. I can also see that the system holds vacuum for couple of hours after parking before it finally reaches zero. I can clearly see the pulses from cruise control solenoid especially when it is at 19...

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    Thanks! Can you help me with identifying which one is more likely to fit? Both look slightly different than the one in 1st post, however make/model/year is matching. https://allegro.pl/oferta/drazek-kolumny-kierowniczej-cherokee-xj-88-96-13823223053...

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    I'm twenty seven pages deep into this thread trying to figure out the purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all this mod does is eliminates/reduces the slack in the steering by replacing easily wearing out "rag joint" with a Jeep shaft that has some integrated rubber dampener integrated in the...

    rusted drum

    I guess it happened outside of transmission, as if it was inside and rusted then I guess it shows a bigger issue with moisture and more rust on parts.

    Getting voltage to the up and down on all windows

    Not exactly sure what your issue is, 1.5 V should be much less than the minimum needed to activate an automotive relay, usually it's in a range of 5-7 V when it clicks.

    Issues with seatbelts

    I fixed my rear seatbelts. It is possible to pull the plastic cover off the retractors up and then to put it back in place, helped by the fact that the bottom part of the cover does not want to stay closed anyway. Left lap belt issue was caused by the belt folding over itself and not wanting to...

    How would an interior light stay on if you pulled out the fuse for it

    My $0.02: The guy is using 20 A range for that test. It is good for initial check, but far for good for measuring actual values. For measuring anything (electrical, distances, temperatures, whatever) you want to use as much of the measuring device range as possible. Measuring milliamps on a 20...

    How would an interior light stay on if you pulled out the fuse for it

    He pulls the fuse in order to measure current. He breaks the circuit removing the fuse then connects is back together with a multimeter instead of a fuse. Multimeter set to measring current has a resistance close to zero ohm.

    Issues with seatbelts

    I'll try aiming for that particular part, maybe that's what stuck. I have also tried using blunt force on retractors to un-seize the ratchet and it didn't help ;)

    Issues with seatbelts

    I can feel these hanging weights with my fingers and no amount of playing with them makes these belts free. I want to disassemble everything, inspect it, clean it, grease what's greaseable and reassemble it knowing that they are in a good working order. I twisted and slipped T50 wrench in a...

    Ideas for missing headliner

    Progress! I settled on using 4 mm plywood as a base and a carpet material shown before. I used a high temperature trim glue after trying out some other adhesive on sound deadening which failed miserably in a 34 deg C heat.Carpet is rigid enough so that the plywood does not to be as wide as the...

    Is rear side window identical on 1990 Burb and 1980s dual/bonus cab?

    Thank you all, I'm afraid that in a meantime someone just bought the whole part truck out of the scrap yard :(

    Cruise control works for a while then starts to lose speed

    A follow-up: Cruise seems to be fixed. Where was the leak - I don't know, I bet that the best guess is from Rusty Nail with the vacuum pod leak around the nipple. Now it seems to have more power, I can feel how it accelerates and slows down a bit in cycles and even has enough force to downshift...
