    Does anyone know a good replacement for an OEM carburetor in a 1988 YJ?

    I like my Weber. Top of my head idk the model but it is solid. Handled a shot ton and I put a k and n filter on with it. Only issue I have ran into is mounting the return springs.

    Has anyone found a winch with a bolt pattern that would mount to frame / bumper?

    If your looking for something simple and away from the stock look and keep it cheap I have on mine a eab bumper that I will say is super easy to install and has the mounts ready. Takes me about 10 minutes to put it on and go.
