If you’ve driven a Jeep CJ with a mechanical clutch linkage—especially off-road—you know the struggle. Binding linkages, misalignment from frame flex, and a stiff, inconsistent pedal feel can make crawling over rocks more of a workout than it should be. That’s where a hydraulic clutch conversion comes in. We recently upgraded the jeepfan.com 1978 CJ-5 …

The East Coast Four Wheel Drive Association (EC4WDA) has been around since the early days of organized off-roading, promoting responsible four-wheeling and land use across the eastern U.S. Founded in 1965, this volunteer-driven organization connects clubs and individual members from Maine to Virginia, with a focus on education, conservation, and community. EC4WDA works closely with …
This 1978 CJ-5 has been in our stable since 1997 and as soon as we had our hands on it all kinds of ideas filled our heads. The Jeep was essentially a restored stock Jeep with an AMC V8 and a fiberglass body. It’s hard to find a more perfect Jeep to start a project. …
The Jeep NP231 transfer case, used in everything from YJs to TJs and XJs is a lightweight, reliable part of the 4WD puzzle. But when you start throwing serious tires, lockers, and steep trails at your Jeep, its limits can become obvious. Enter the NV241OR Rock-Trac transfer case, Jeep’s heavy-duty, gear-driven crawler that comes factory …
Once a rugged, utilitarian icon of off-roading, the Jeep Wrangler YJ is now experiencing a modern-day renaissance. First produced from 1987 to 1995, the YJ represents a pivotal moment in Jeep’s storied history, a shift towards a more refined but still unapologetically rough-and-tumble design. In recent years, the classic YJ, the replacement for the long …

It was a nice little turnout that allowed people to mingle and talk about their stuff. There was an impressive showing of some older Jeeps along with newer stuff. The …
We always get questions about a Jeep’s transfer case and it surprises me how many people don’t fully understand what this thing attached to the Jeep’s transmission does. A Jeep transfer case is the mechanical heart of the 4WD system. It’s the part that splits power from the transmission and sends it to the front …
The stock NP231 transfer case in the Jeep Wrangler TJ does its job just fine for daily driving and mild off-roading. But once you start lifting the suspension and venturing into more serious trail territory, the factory slip yoke setup quickly becomes a liability. The exposed driveshaft splines and limited slip range are prone to …
The old school incandescent headlights in a TJ are a classic and iconic look for the TJ but the light output is poor by today’s standards.
