    Wheel Lug Pattern Interchangeability

    Hey folks! Reviving this old thread. I'm looking to get a set of new wheels. The current wheels on my 92 YJ are from a newer Rubicon I think. They look ok...but I have quite a rub when I turn tight. I think it's the tire hitting the leaf spring. I think that's a result of the bigger tires with...

    Hardtop install...what can I expect?

    You are right with the wheels! 32's on 17's. Looks like they are just a bit too big for the back window to lift up. I did have it open all the way I believe. I even tried forcing it just a bit more but was not successful. I think I'm going to get through the summer and then looking at putting a...

    Hardtop install...what can I expect?

    Well I picked it up folks and it fit really well and went on fairly smooth. I did have a couple of issues though. First was I can get the back window to come up because it keeps hitting the tire on the back. They are original tires so I think it's just too big. Also, I had to strap the front...

    Hardtop install...what can I expect?

    Hey folks! I'm working on my first YJ and I just got a YJ top off of FB marketplace. I'm driving my jeep to the seller and putting the new top on in place of my current soft top. I bought some c-clamps to use temporarily while I wait on the proper hardware that I ordered. What I'm wondering...

    Where do you purchase your YJ parts from?

    Thanks so much folks! I've started ordering some mod stuff from Quadratec and have been pretty happy so far.

    Where do you purchase your YJ parts from?

    I've read some of the reviews on both of these for a number of potential mods and from what I've found you are spot on. I'll pay a little bit more to get some quality stuff. Thanks for the $.02!

    Recondition Tops

    Hey all! I've been looking for a hard top for my 92 YJ. Of course the ones I've found need some work. Can these things be repainted? What are the types of things I should look for on a top that makes it beyond repair?

    Reviving an old thread! I was going to post a new on but saw this one from last year. I found Quadratec is there any other place to go besides them? Looking to make some really simple mods like a couple of grab bars and lighting. Mostly cosmetic stuff right now. if Quadratec is it then I'm good...

    2.5L Burning Oil

    Mine is in pretty good shape as well. I would be surprised if it uses that much oil. I've never had a vehicle go through oil like that. Thanks for the reply...I really appreciate it!

    2.5L Burning Oil

    Hey folks! I'm new to the forum and I just got my first YJ. It's a 92 with the 2.5L I4. As I was doing some research on this I read that this motor is known for burning a lot of oil. One article said that it could burn up to a quart every month. Is this something I should be watching out for? It...
