    Grinding in Reverse

    1043562 I had that problem with mine, seemed to be getting worse. Checked the clutch fluid level and it was way down ....... bled the line and presto, she goes into reverse very easily. I haven't ground anything yet )going into reverse) after doing this. Craig[addsig]

    sway bar disconnect

    1043563 The swaybar wouldn't cause any vibration ...... I would check your tires first. The main purpose of the sway bar is too keep the Jeep level in a corner, nothing more. If the steering wheel feels loose or shakes after hitting bumps, then it's your stabilizer shock. If you're...

    Gas Mileage

    1043608 What kind of mileage is everyone getting anyways? I'm curious because I find mine a little hard on gas about 240 miles (400 kms) to a tank (92 YJ, smaller tank, 4.0 L) It seems to run fine and I don't rev it at all ....... seems a little low to me. Craig[addsig]

    What's up with my ride????????????????

    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...

    Crack in door...

    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...

    What's up with my ride????????????????

    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]

    CB mounting

    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...

    holy #%*! it's cold in here

    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...

    vibrating jeep

    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...

    Sway bar endlinks - can't remove!!

    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 ...

    Hand throttles ... anybody using them?????

    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...

    Paint question

    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]

    CB radio info needed

    1043439 They have a stainless steel bump stop mount on ebay for the antenna ..... with a little modification, you can have it sitting inside the bump stop and it looks great!! I picked up a CB from ebay and it cost only 10 bucks, if you're looking for something small stick with Uniden. It's...

    Paint question

    1043219 I'm a new owner of a 92 YJ and the guy that sold it told me that the paint was a factory scratch/chip resistant paint. What I find strange is that the blue paint is actually a flat blue paint, there's absolutely no shine whatsoever and that includes all the painted surfaces on the...
