BTW ... I think it is the 20A fuse marked "Acc". Next to the bottom row on the left side.

I had the same issue ... turned out the fuse was good but the fuse holder contacts in the fuse block were loose. You will probably note the dash lights are not working either. Do not start the engine, but turn on the parking lights. Wobble the fuse around a little to see if the instrument...

I just got done replacing the transmission mount as well as the "torque arm" you are describing. The "torque arm" is about 3" to the driver side of the actual transmission mount ... mine is an TF999, but the drawings show the manual transmission being the same relative location. I got the...

That is GREAT! I attended WB in 2004 ("I used to be an antelope, ..."), got my beads in 2005 but have not yet been on the program side. Currently finding my way around as an ASM, Venturing AA and OA AA. My son's Eagle BOR is 6/27 (YEAH!!) and he ages out in November so I'm trying to see...

You must have an involvement in Scouting to recognize those beads.

I've personally experienced that a few years ago and tracked it down to a failing/failed ignition coil. When I removed the coil and shook it like a soda can, you could hear the oil inside sloshing ... you shouldn't be able to hear anything. I do not recall if there was any kind of test. A new...

What do you know? The more things change the more they stay the same. I remember asking those same questions when I was 17. The only person I didn't ask was my dad because if I had, he'd have kicked my butt for street racing. Being a dad of 2 great kids, my greatest fear is that the law of...

Here is a really good article about what a sway bar does. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question432.htm When off-roading, you WANT each tire to move independently over obstacles. This is called articulation. When one tire goes over a rock or drops into a hole, the weight on the tire other 3...

With budget constraints always looming, there may be an option for you. Take a look at High-Tec Retreading (http://www.high-tec-retreading.com/) for a set of tires. They have a 31x10.50/15 for $60 plus shipping. I've heard great things about them and will be getting a set myself when MY...

Great write-up at: http://www.4x4wire.com/jeep/tech/body/tj_flares_yj/ Plan on doing this mod myself in the not-to-distant future.

Here's how I used all the great advice received on my original request ... One at a time, I took the base plate off each spring, removed the U-bolts then dropped the spring far enough to get the floating shims out. Neither the newly supplied RE shims for the rear nor the factory shims on the...

Where would I go to get longer pins or would a small bolt do the trick? I've got a little extra time as I am waiting for new front brake lines. Turns out I was unable to remove the flexible section (corroded joint) and I rounded the nut ... even using a tubing wrench. GRRR. At least the...

So I'm installing my 2-1/2" RE lift kit which includes the 1" transfer case drop and 2-1/2* shims. My problem with the shims was after putting them on top of the spring, there was not enough of the pin left to go into the axle. They were literally the same height as the pin itself which would...

Re: YJ trans torque arm - UPDATE Purchased all new torque arm hardware at my local DC dealership ... WOW ... the torque arm was missing a number of pieces. This is no doubt on account of the previous owner not understanding the significance of the assembly. The transmission mount has now been...

Just installed my new winch!! WOOHOO! Now, a couple of questions: 1 - I see a lot of folks just leave the winch out in the weather. Wouldn't a cover of some kind always be better? 2 - There is no lubrication needed on the winch itself but what about the cable? A light coating of machine oil...

All my best in your continued rehab. The verdict aside, I'm left questioning the mother apologizing for her adult child. If parents would stop making excuses for their kids when young, or accuse coaches, teachers and other adults of "damaging their child's psyche" there may be less of this...

It would rotate clockwise. If you watch the dragstrip guys launch from the starting line you'll see the right-rear tire bite into the track while the left, in some cases, may actually lift. That is an extreme torque reaction. It happens to a lesser degree on all rear-wheel differential type...

Included with my 2-1/2" RE lift kit was a 1" transfer case drop kit. Next spring's modifications (budget limit reached this year!) will include a SYE coinciding with a rear axle swap, using the Explorer 8.8. I know they recommend the kit, or they wouldn't have sent it, but I need some feedback...

Well then, I have a call to make tomorrow. Thanks to you both!!

After much surfing and research, I need help. The pan on my transmission needs to be replaced as it is bent and leaking. Short of a factory replacement, I can't find one. Found links to manufacturers who USED to build them, but nothing is current. It is the TF999 in the 93 YJ. Any...
