Tubular Straw Holder for Spay Cans

If you have spent any time at all working on old Jeeps in your garage, I know this has happened to you. You're underneath your jeep trying to spray penetrating oil in just the right spot on a bolt you're trying to get loose when **poof**!! The straw for the spray can flys off and you can't find it anywhere. I don't know about you, but I keep a big supply of spare straws from old cans for just such an occasion. Hold-it, Inc has invented a way to keep from loosing the straw in the first place. This tubular straw holder is an ingenious little invention that will keep backyard mechanics from swearing every time they use a sray can with a straw. Check it out! Put it on your WD-40 can next to your Jumbo Duct Tape Book.

That's great because I have a hard enough time concentrating on where I'm going while I drive my Jeep! They claim that these shocks will outperform normal foam cell shocks. This is a great price on a 4" lift for the TJ.

12v Heavy Duty Starters for Willys Jeep Replace 6v Starters

A popular conversion for the early 6v Jeeps was to convert to a 12v electrical system. Often the original 6v starter was retained, and this can lead to problems with overheating, or possibly the starter will ruin the ring gear. Mac's Jeeparts Co. in Corvallis, OR has a solution for this problem. They have introduced a Heavy Duty Gear Reduction 12v starter for the Willys L-head and F-head 134, L-Head 226, Jeep 225 V6, and the Jeep 350 V8 (Vigilante) engines. These starters are smaller and lighter than the OEM starters and feature a 4:1 gear reduction. These are the Key start type, so that you can do away with the floor start mechanism. Prices for new starters start at $225 and they also offer rebuilt units from $150. This is a great way to update your old Jeep and solve all your starting problems.

QuickLever Quick Release Mirror Levers for CJ

Has this ever happened to you? You fold your mirrors in before you go out on the trail so they won't get broken against a tree. Then when you fold them back in after the trail ride is over the mounts are loose. So you have to dig some wrenches out of your toolbox to tighten them. Isn't that annoying? These clever little Quick Release Mirror Levers will prevent this situation from occuring. They allow you to tighten the mirrors mounts at the swivel point without using wrenches. I found some of these at Trail Quest Offroad Equipment in Plain City, Ohio.

NOS Parts for 76-86 CJ

Collins Brothers has a large supply of NOS parts available for the 76-86 CJs. NOS (New Old Stock) refers to parts that were made by the OE (original equipment) manufacturer when these jeeps were built. These parts are no longer being made and are often hard to find. They are great for restorers or other jeepers who want to rebuild thier jeeps with oe parts. I've had several 76-86 CJs and its sad but true, the OE parts are getting harder and harder to find. Most parts sold for these jeeps are now aftermarket or reproduction pieces.

What we do

Our number one goal for the JeepBug web log (blog) is simply this: to help Jeep owners find the new or used parts and accessories they need for their Jeeps, at the lowest price. For owners of newer Jeeps, there is a multitude of companies who offer parts. Finding the lowest price among all these choices can be tough. For owners of older Jeeps, especially the more obscure models, simply locating a part, new or used, can be challenging. We hope to make it easier for Jeep owners to find the parts they need at the best prices, in order to build and maintain their vehicles, so that the sport of Jeeping will continue and can be enjoyed by our kids and grandkids for many years to come.

• Your spouse is jealous of your Jeep
• You have a special agreement with your spouse to not talk about your Jeep over dinner
