Baystate Jeepers

I bought 2 brand new cables from quadratec as both cable were compromised. found 1 that fit, and the other didn't. as the cable that came out had to eye hooks on it and the new cable has 1 eye hook and a crimped end. called quadratec and they said there are only 2 cables for the jeep and that i bought the correct 2 and explained my situation. does anyone have any insight on what i can do. as this is holding me up ha


thank you pictures are below of cable that came out of jeep and here is the cable that came new.

Worse case scenario is look on Craigs list or Market place for a YJ being parted. I have a 74 CJ-5 , there have been times just like this for me. I would have soldered the second loop to the end without one and made my own. You cut a slot in the eyelet just big enough for the lead ball to fit into the eyelet. Solder it or lead it. My mind works differently than most ! FjR68

call Jeff Thorton at Crown Automotive in MA. My best guess is quadratec bought from Crown in the first place but Jeff and the guys at Crown really know their stuff and can help you. 781-821-2276

i went to the website a little hard to navigate. thought id ask on the forums and shoot to the local parts shop first to see what people have done. thank you will give them a call and see where that takes me.

thanks Frank, if i can't find anything that works i guess your idea will be the best. sounds great to me

The website is not great for Crown, but they are based in MA and Jeff T is really amazing. He has owned numerous jeeps and has a wealth of information. The other benefit is they can ship parts within MA even if you are not a dealer or authorized re-seller, sadly for some odd reason they can not ship outside of MA to individuals. He has helped me a lot with my 70 Jeepster as well as my old TJ and some stuff for my JK's as well.

awesome, ill be giving them a call tomorrow. thanks for the info. kinda lame they can't ship outside MA though
