    YJ and proud of it!

    Okay fellow jeepers... I seem to get quite a bit of crap from time to time for having my YJ, with its square headlights, and whatever else, but to me, a jeep is a jeep is a jeep, and it seems like, if anything, the YJ would actually be one of the more rare, and more sought after breeds, because...

    have you guys seen this crap?!?

    Well, they finally did it. What a bunch of jerks! Now jeeps officially look like every other stupid vehicle out there. Very disappointed in the company right now. :(

    Less talk....more action.

    Okay everybody. There's been a lot of talk about stickers recently, so now that they're out, let's see who's real about it.

    what next?

    Okay... so I went out on my first real run today, and it was AWESOME. We had lots of fun and it was a big turn out, but now I've got the disease. I need more upgrades, but I have no idea where to start. I know gearing is important, and that first and foremost, I need a bigger lift and tires...

    is there anybody out there???

    Hey all. My name is Travis, and I've been looking for what feels like forever for some people to go wheeling with in the area of boise. I joined a local club, but so far its just been a bunch of eating pizza and talking about wheeling rather than actually doing it. Looking forward to getting any...

    switching over to synthetic gear oil...

    Is this anything like when you change over to synthetic engine oil? Meaning that you really have to flush it all out, and get it all nice and shiny clean before you make the switch? If so, what is a good method for accomplishing this? Also, what is a good quality recommended brand, and weight?

    painting a radiator...

    I want to make my radiator look a little better than it currently does, but im not quite sure how to go about it. Do I need to not paint the fins, or is it okay to do that? Also, I was wondering if I need to use some kind of special paint to handle the heat. I would like to go with a kind of...

    no help???

    Did I somehow do something to **** everybody off here? I've tried to post a couple of threads to try to get some help about which vehicles have swappable parts for my 90 YJ's steering and suspension components but have gotten absolutely no replies or help at all. I find it extremely hard to...

    whats compatable?

    So im looking into picking through some of my local junkyards for some things that might be in better shape than what is currently on my YJ. Problem is, there aren't too many wranglers in any of the yards around here. There ARE, however, tons of Cherokees, rodeos, land rovers, and just about...

    removing stabilizer link bars---

    So im replacing almost all of the steering components, and bushings, and I've run into a problem. When I try to loosen the castle nut for my link bars, the entire bolt spins. I see nothing to grip on the other side to try and get it to hold in place. I've tried vice grips, and c clamps with no...

    am i STILL the only one?

    Seriously? Im the only one from the boise idaho area? I see sooooo many jeeps out there. This can't be true. Maybe everyone else is too busy wheeling, while im sitting online looking for em?

    radiator fits??

    So I was picking around in my local junkyard over the weekend, and I was actually pretty surprised to be lucky enough to find some of the stuff I did. Got some nice new d ring shackles with mounts. A nice aluminum hi lift jack mount, chrome valve cover, and 4 brand new HELLA off road lights with...

    tailor made or make my own?

    Alright guys. I need some input here, from people that know what they are talking about. I can always count on Jeepz for that. People keep telling me that I need a store bought winch plate. They say that if I try to make my own, it wont work out as well. I disagree completely. Im not sure if im...

    great prices on parts!!

    I broke one of my fender flares out on a run this weekend and came across these guys on my search for a replacement. Thought it was worth sharing with my Jeepz peeps: http://www.oconeeoffroad.com/servlet/the-template/springsale/Page

    bushing kit or what?

    So the wife and I went for a long scenic drive in the jeep over the weekend, and I knew that we wouldn't be able to go racing down the freeway in my 2.5, but what I wasn't prepared for was that when we were at a high speed, every time we hit a bump or took the wind from a semi, it felt like I...

    coil spring conversion??

    Is a coil spring conversion a plausible idea on a YJ? And if so, what would be the pros and cons of this kind of project? Estimated cost? Products to use etc....

    i have a really really stubborn u joint. help!!!!

    Does anybody know of a good way to get an old u joint out of the drive shaft? I've tried the ol two sockets and a vice method, and I've tried beating on the u joint with the shaft in the vice, and it is just really really stuck in there. I even tried soaking it in penetrating PB overnight. I...

    completely distracted...

    How many of you out there park your jeep outside of a window at work and then find yourself staring and having offroad visions when you're supposed to be working? Is this even healthy or should I park elsewhere?

    Liberty chip overload???

    I pulled into the grocery store parking lot today, and saw a girl with her liberty (newer, not sure on the year) hood open, and she was banging on something with a wrench. It didn't seem right, and I can't stand to see a fellow jeeper in trouble, so I pull up next to her and ask if I can help...
