1045836 I have a 1989YJ I bought new. For several years it was mainly used as a beach cruiser. One day, after experiencing an off-road vacation, I started really looking at what I had. I noticed the lack of clearance in the fender wells and the odd reverse bend in the leaf springs. I attended...

1045837 Note: Most lift kits are similar (I use that term lightly) but not the same. Price should not be the deciding factor. There is a big difference in the quality of some of the parts, and the amount of extras you need to purchase to complete the install. Just do your homework before you...

1045852 Greencuke: Whistling noises from a Jeep are pretty normal. It could be anything from a bad door or window seal, window not all the way closed, to a door needing adjustment, and possibly the door just not shut all the way. (Don't laugh, it happens) If you really want to find it, get...

1045931 If you have the time and mechanical ability (understanding that you need to drain the gas, or run it down low, and that it is FLAMABLE) the repair only costs your time. Once the gas is empty (this cuts down the weight you will have to lift) , remove the tank bracket bolts, vent and gas...

1045933 Note: Because of the different size Jeep tanks and the limited travel of the senders. When you fill your tank the gas is actually above the senders limit and usually reads full for a while until it reaches the top of the sender, then the gauge starts to drop. If it's adjusted...

1045934 JeeperWilly: You have opened a can of worms. Everybody will have a different opinion. Some of them will be from Jeepers with lockers and some will be hearsay. Some will be from good drivers; some will be from ones that aren’t. Understand that there are lockers designed for different...

1045935 Get some help, start the Jeep, use the brake, crawl underneath and look/listen for the rattle. jprtroy has the idea. It could also be a muffler rattle. If it's making that much noise, it should be easy to find. [addsig]

1045958 I have a 1989 YJ with a 4.2-6 Several years ago I shopped for exhaust. Just about the time my manifold cracked. I installed a Borla Header. I needed to customise a few brackets because they wern't designed for automatics, but it was worth the effort. When I got to the Cat-back, I...

1045974 You might want to look more into Por-15 before using it in the sun. No UV protection. I have used it in my engine compartment and frame where it looks and works great. Remember, no direct sun. I've also used it on battery boxes, hot rod frames and they even have a paint designed for...

1046002 I have a 1989YJ 4.2 I-6 and the stock muffler dimensions were 2" center inlet with a 2"offset outlet. (Drive shaft side) 10 inches wide x 15 ½ long x 4 1/2 deep. With the understanding that increasing the exhaust system increases power I decided to enlarge the pipes to 2 3/4 (Bigger...

1046004 More input: I had installed a new High performance Cat- Converter (If there really is such a thing) which was left with the 2" inlet/outlet. From the rear of the cat I installed a 2'' to 2 1/2 extension (purchased from most all part stores) This aided in a clean install. [addsig]

1046104 Jeepster05. I have been looking for that extra milage for years. It seems whatever I do my YJ sticks right at 15mpg (on the average) no mater what I do. Re-gearing, MSD Ignition, Borla Headers, K&N intake, Larger exhaust. Get my point. I have just learned to enjoy Jeeping, and when...

1046109 That's interesting. Double Vision. LOL [addsig]

1046206 When I used my 1989 Jeep Wrangler for beach cruising, (It was a phase, years ago, I'm over it now) I played with tires and found the largest I could run stock with no lift and no rubbing was a 245/70R15 on factory mags. [addsig]

1046208 jeeperwilly. Let me preface this with stating that my Jeep is used as a daily driver and a weekend rock crawler that drives to and from the trails. Several years ago I started running with a great club that has every type of Jeep you can imagine. From bone stockers to out of control...

1046435 You can go to your local Sears, they have a "Tiny bit set, with a handle that acts as the hand drill. (that size bit is too small to hold and turn) It's usually in the area with the machinists tools or the puller section. It is not a Craftsman tool. Cost is about $7.oo ? for the set...

1046575 This drill bit is so small, there isn't enough room to print Craftsman. [addsig]

1046687 First make sure your wires are connected correctly and not touching one another. If they are correct it might be the wire between the gauge and the sender. Disconnect the sender wire at the gauge, turn on power and see if the reading is on "E" If it is, it's your wire or sender...
