    New Bestop Seats in YJ

    1056528 I don't have any input on the seats. I do have 5 inches of lift and much larger tires than stock without any center of gravity issues. I think with myself and the tens of thousands of other Jeepers in this same height situation, without problems, I wouldn't worry too much.[addsig]

    Cracked exhaust manifold

    1056683 Figure all of the stress, money, time, gas, traveling, putties, sealers, and welding to fix a crack that just can't be fixed properly,is expensive in itself. And if you do some how seal the crack, in time it will crack again. STOP! Install a new manifold, or better and cheaper...

    Cracked exhaust manifold

    1056687 Note: Replacing it with a used manifold is also a waste of time and money. It is already close to cracking due to age and milage.(and it will) If you don't crack it putting it in. It takes the same time to install new parts as old, and more time to do it again.[addsig]

    tire situation

    1056785 Rubbing: The rubbing will be largely determined by the back spacing of the wheels, and the amount of articulation you get. The amount of articulation with or without disconnecting the track and swaybars. If you are just street or even dirt road traveling you might be ok. Offroad in the...

    tire situation

    1056786 Note: The best way to check your Jeep out before trail damage is done is to find a club in your area with a ramp, use it and see what you need, or find a big rock or wall and test away. It's cheaper and less pain to fix it first. 8-) [addsig]

    belt replacement

    1061044 I have a 1989 Wrangler YJ 4.2 I-6 and to replace the serpentine belt the alternator bolts need to be loosened and the belt removed. When you readjust the belt there should be a place in the front of the alternator bracket for a 1/2-inch ratchet used to hold the belt while you tighten...

    1062228 F.Y.I. I installed the TJ flares on my YJ and if your interested, go to my web pictures and you can see the flares installed along with pictures of the pieces that were cut off, cardboard templates and the comparison between the TJ and YJ flares. This conversion is pretty straight...

    Crack in door...

    1045426 That is a stress crack. Sooner or later it finds it's way to most all Jeeps. There is a band-aid fix to keep it from cracking further. Drilll a very small hole at the end of the crack and this usually stops the travel. I have a 1989 YJ, used as a daily driver and for weekend rock...

    cold air on feet!

    1045473 If you have no cables, look under the dash on the passenger side (all the way to the right between the vent box and the outside of the Jeep) and you should see the vent lever (near the courtesy light) slide it so the vent is closed (usually that means pulling it twords you) That works...

    need help w/ my tail pipe

    1045753 The exhaust system on the YJ is pretty simple. There is a hanger up front by the transmission, one behind the muffler, that uses a rod and a rubber mount (to eliminate rattles and heat transfer), and one at the tail pipe end (it is also a rod welded to the pipe) which works great...

    Half doors won't lock

    1045756 Are the doors factory Jeep? It is unusal that both doors have the same non locking problem, unless it was done intentionally. If you remove the door panels, you will notice the linkage hooked from the inside lock and the outside key cylinder attached to the actual door lock. It might be...

    Problem in gas tank?

    1045757 First check to see all your connections are tight and the wires are intact. (Although this does not usually cause the gauge to be inacurate) The fuel sender mounted into the top of the tank is a float actually inside the tank that can be adjusted to change the gauge reading. (By...

    Ranchos New Toys

    1045758 I have the first model Rancho 9000's on a Jeep used as a daily driver and weekend rock crawler and after originally adjusting them to eliminate nose diving at hard stops, I have never touched them again (3 years ago). The fronts are adjusted to 3 and the rears to 2. If and when these...

    Half doors won't lock

    1045795 CTJeeper: My locks had that problem several years back. A little door lock lube sprayed into the key hole and the lock unit solved the sticking. Jeeps take a beating with all of the offroad dirt, a little TLC gets them ready for more fun. [addsig]

    wiring harness

    1045816 Natty: Changing out the whole wiring harness seems overkill on a 94 for what might be a small problem. If you think the fuse blows when you shift into reverse, then start looking there. If this is an automatic, look at the shift linkage for broken or grounding wires, at the tail light...

    lucas oil stableizer

    1045835 I have used their products in several of my vehicles including my trucks without any problems, right up until I tried it in my Jeep YJ 1989 4.2. I am not sure if it was the Lucas oil stabilizer, or all of the other products I have tried added together over the years. Maybe the Lucas was...
