    Fairly New LEO

    Some of you may have noticed a lack of activity from me the past month or two, and for good reason... I just finished my 5th week at the law enforcement academy for the Sheriff's Office. Before that was a series of ride-alongs on several shifts to become familiar with the office and some of the...

    Stroke of bad luck

    Yesterday as I was leaving the apartment complex, I was forced to take a different route due to a UPS truck and a FedEx truck blocking my normal path of travel. Had they not been there, I may have never seen what is in the pictures below. I don't know this Jeep owner, but it was definately an...

    Dana 30 Axle Seals - replacement

    So the YJ has bad axle seals in the front (Dana 30 w/ vacuum 4wd disconnect). I've read some online write-ups on how to replace them using some threaded rod, large washers and/or large sockets, mallets, and other various hand tools. I have the new seals (have had them for some time), but never...

    Bad Thermostat?

    So my YJ (Project Salt) is finally back in my possession after a few months of it being garaged (in another state, nonetheless). What I'm noticing now is the engine temperature gauge tops out around 150 degrees F. If I remember correctly, it used to be closer to 200 F. Last year the whole...

    New to Virginia

    The last weekend in August I moved from Pennsylvania to Virginia. The 3+ hour drive to see each other was quickly getting old, so I moved in with my girlfriend. She used to live in PA but got a promotion to work in Washington, DC. I figured that my then-current job wasn't going to have any...

    Back on the road!

    Last night my '93 YJ came out of the 10' x 30' storage shed that it's been in since mid-March, and made a short trip under its own power! After removing the body from the frame and fixing and replacing numerous parts, this rebuild experience is drawing to a close. At this point, the majority...

    Greasable Ball Joints - Dana 30

    So I'm in the process of replacing both upper and both lower ball joints on my front axle (Dana 30). I removed the brake equipment, hubs, axle shafts, and knuckles. Today I installed the passenger side ball joints, both came with the zerk grease fittings. I took liberty and flushed out the...

    Wheel & Tire Sizes

    I'm looking to upgrade to the 31x10.50R15 tire size for my YJ (after the lift kit goes in). I've currently got the 15"x7" factory wheels, and was wondering what wheel size would be best for that tire size. I spoke to a local tire guy who recommended the 8" wide wheel due to the sidewalls being...

    Lift kit questions

    Looking to add a small amount of spring under axle lift to replace my currently stock suspension '93 YJ. Don't need anything over 2" of lift, as I won't be going off-road too often... sometimes to the beach and some wooded areas in South Central PA. I just want a little bit of extra clearance...

    Steering Shaft Removal

    I need some assistance with removing the steering shaft of my '93 YJ 4.0L, so that I can remove the body/tub from the frame. The Haynes manual isn't of much help on this topic. I have removed the top compression screw from the steering shaft (just above the u-joint), and will be removing the...

    Washer fluid bottle bracket - YJ

    Looking for a bracket that holds the washer fluid bottle for a '93 YJ. The stock bracket was removed with the fender and will not be going back on... too much corrosion/rust. Searched Quadratec's and jeep4x4center.com's websites with no luck. Any suppliers for this bracket out there besides...

    Body / Tub Removal

    I'm seeking the advice of those that have done this before... I've got a '93 YJ, 4.0L, that needs repair work done to the frame, so the plan is to remove the body for better access to the frame, find hidden trouble spots on it, and then clean up the frame to apply anti-rust. Over the past few...

    '93 YJ Fuel gauge / sending unit 20gal.

    From what I've gathered from researching previous posts, my problem is not unique. I own a 1993 YJ with a 4.0L engine & 20 gallon fuel tank. There have been some issues with the fuel gauge / sending unit that I have attempted to correct, and have been successful with... to a point. The...
