    Jeep stock wheels, set of 5, $150

    I have five stock 15" wheels off of a 2001 Wrangler. The clear coat is aging and there is a little rash. The original 30" tires are still on them, with just under 40,000 miles on them. Don't think they ever rotated them, so the spare is brand new. One tire has half tread and the others are...

    YJ hardtop and all the fixins, $700

    For sale is one black YJ hardtop with black and brown full doors, along with my fabbed lift and hardtop cart. I'm not sure how old the top is, but I think late 80s. Normal amount of wear for a top that old. I drove with it on the Jeep for about a year and have no complaints. All glass intact...

    Which ignition module works best on a 4.2?

    I've had a problem ever since I bought this heep last year: It will occasionally die for no reason at all...at a stop sign, going 30 down the street, whenever. It's an every several days type of intermittent problem. It has never done it when the engine has been running more than 15 min, and...

    York air compressor - howto?

    I would like to take the nonfunctional a/c out of my 87 YJ and put in something useful. I've seen some references to installing a York air compressor that runs off a belt, but I can't find a thread where how it's done is actually described. I did find this link: York air compressor for...

    Trying to crank kills electrical system

    This'll teach me to leave well enough alone... I was just finished adjusting the timing and my new Weber carb, and I decided that I would go ahead and do the Nutter Bypass that everyone seems to recommend. It was running okay, but the rpms would wander up and down some. Well, first I spliced...

    4wd light backwards (1987 Wrangler)

    I don't know when this happened--sometime in the last four months while the Jeep's been sitting in the garage--but my 4WD indicator light is on when the lever is in 2WD and turns off when I shift the transfer case to 4H. (It doesn't run again at the moment, but as I recall it stays off in N and...

    idle relays with no idle solenoid

    Do the idle relays do anything if the idle solenoid and the Carter carb are both off/replaced on the 258? This is what mine look like (first picture). What can I do with this? Can I just cut the six wires to the relay socket and put caps on them?

    Alternator bracket 1987 YJ 4.2L

    I just took my alternator off and had no idea this part was involved. I have no clue how to put it back on. All I know is that there is a bolt on the back of the alternator that attaches to a slide on the bracket, a short bolt on the top front of the alternator, and two long bolts on the...

    1987 4.2 - cranks with the key in my pocket!...

    The saga continues. I had the PO's 5 yr old battery die on me last night while I was trying to start the beast. It started out making sickly weak cranking noises, recovered some on a subsequent attempt, and was in the middle of cranking and then it just cut off. Took it in, had 3 some volts on...

    1987 YJ 6 cylinder new Weber 34 carb won't start

    Yet another new Jeep owner. Bought this thing from the lady around the corner as my wife's wedding present in April. It's a Laredo and was pretty much stock with a few exceptions: Most of the pulse air stuff was removed, including the vacuum switches, the little reservoir, both solenoids (the...
