1044578 Ok, I will try to describe this better. The Jeep handles fine, no problems there .... the ride is just harsh, as in hard on your back harsh. Every little bump is felt, like ANY little bump. It is rough even at low speeds...... almost like there's no suspension. The rear leafs are...

1044643 That seems to be like a stress point ........ seems like an odd location though since there isn't any sharp edge or anything. My buddy noticed the cracks when I purchased my Jeep but didn't believe the guy that sold that it was a stress point. Well, he took a better look at his Jeep...

1044645 Good point.... I'm going to take a look at the shackles, I didn't realize that they had to move, that has to be it since the springs aren't new. Shocks don't really do anything on the compression stroke, this is where it's the harshest. Craig[addsig]

1044946 Well put JeepinGuy ....... figure out your budget and go from there.!!!!!!! Craig[addsig]

1049510 I mounted my CB below the air conditioning vent system (which is below the radio) ... has never come loose either and it's out of the way unless you need it. As for the antenna mount .... my cousin and I rigged our tire stops to accept them, here's the pic. The mount or tire stop...

1051018 This works great on my 91 YJ .... I have my 'reqd maint' light on and thought I would see what it was ..... well, i only got code 5-5 (end of codes) So what's up with that? Craig[addsig]

1051647 I have a 91 YJ and up here in Northern Ontario it gets damn cold. I finally had the thermostat replaced with a good quality 195 unit. What a difference. Even with the very cold weather (-35C this morning) it easily heats up to the halfway mark on the guage. I believe the type I had...

1051847 Is there any sign of vibration at other speeds? Does the steering wheel shimmy at all? Or does it feel like it's coming from the back? What about under hard acceleration? Could be tires .... but I'm guessing U joints. Usually tires (depends what size) exhibit vibration problems...

1052289 I removed mine (jeep is a 91) and found that the only way they would come off is with a hammer. I tried everything and it was the only method that worked. There's a trick though, you need another hammer (or baby sledge) to absorb the impact otherwise it won't work. If you try...

1052431 Ok, I'm gonna snap some pics of the install ........ should have something up tonight for you guys to see. Believe me when I say it's worth the few bucks!!!! Once you get used to it, you will always use it!!! On very cold mornings I also lock it down and raise the idle a bit ...

1052444 Ok here we go, should be pretty much straight forward ....... [addsig]

1052448 and how does it feel compared to the stock unit? give us details!!! Craig[addsig]

1052562 I'm not sure if a brake lever would work properly ...... 2 reasons..... 1) the range of motion is far greater with a shifter, I'm not sure if a brake lever would be able to rev the engine much above 2000. 2) although it looks funny on the stick, it falls oh so nicely on your...

1052855 i just had mine changed and make sure you go with the OEM seal ...... spend a few bucks more and get a quality seal that fits properly. Craig[addsig]

1043223 I've never seen one either!!!!!! (Neither has my Jeephead fanatic cousin) This Jeep was a hard find ........ up in Canada (where I live Northern Ontario) it's damn near impossible to find a Jeep without rust ..... this thing is amazing considering it's age (body wise) Craig[addsig]
