Just an update. Since last post. I found a Jeep mechanic who fixed the loss if power issue. Spark plus, updated alternator replaced & the heater blower. The Jeep has been running like a champ with no issues. I haven’t upgraded the tires to 33s yet because I bought some mustangs. 1 in 2018 and another in 2019. Now my Wrangler is wrangling the ponies. I still have not taken the top off.

Next is to get side storage speaker boxes.

So what was the loss of power from? spark plugs?

Yes..it was the spark plugs and timing was off. To date.... no issues. :)

Sorry for bumping the thread. May I know what brand of Jeep fender flares are those? Bushwacker?

Update as of June 2021...

It's been a while since I posted an update.. Here is what I've added:

My Jeep would vibrate when drive on the freeway and when I accelerated. I found out I needed a New rear drive shaft to accommodate the lift and the tires.

I replace the new drive shaft.

I also upgrade the tires to 35" MT ... they rub when I take a deep bump and a big flex. Took it to PISMO Beach Sand Dunes and it was Awesome!

Definitely need to add another 1" lift.. I might swap out the Rubicon 2.5" lift for a 3.5" or 4" lift.

Also added a side step to help the kids get in. I had it welded on as the screws were too weak. Bought in on Ebay.

Updated photos to follow.

Do you have the correct size bump stops?
2.5 to 3.5 isn’t a direct swap you might run into more vibes. Consider a 1.25 in body lift before going 3.5 or larger. Body lift may require 4x4 linkage swap

well my circumstances has changed.. apparently I took my jeep out to pismo beach sand dunes... all the kids wanted to go, but we are a family of 5 and the yj only seats 4...safely... Wife said it's time to sell the YJ and get a NEW JEEP that seats all 5.... I guess I'll be posting it up for sale soon .

I"m not sure how much yet... I just know I have a loooooong list of repairs I have done that I know I won't get back

But definitely getting another Jeep.

What specific MT tires did you install?

[TerryMason]

Noooo......

Would a JK be wide enough on the back to seat three? I know my TJ is barely wide enough for two people back there.
What about an XJ?

[JPNinPA]

One site states JK are 4 with max of 5 passengers. So i guess you have to consider how big the kids are???


Grand Cherokee L has third road seats
