    Actuator Rod to Ignition Switch

    Put the key and the switch in the ACC position (full counter-clockwise) when installing it. That should be close enough and any change or adjustment will be minor.

    Actuator Rod to Ignition Switch

    I did the same thing because the website didn't say anything about it being for the tilt. Once you get it You'll see. The 90 degree bend in the rod get pushed into this hole underneath the switch. You'll see the elongated holes in the switch are for adjusting the switch to match the key...

    Actuator Rod to Ignition Switch

    The key switch or the electric switch down on the steering column? The switch on the steering column has two different versions depending if it's for a tilt wheel or fixed column. They're mirror images of each other.

    95 YJ - No signal to speedo or tach

    Ugh, that's a tough one. Strange that both are affected. I'm sure you did a Google search, they say fuse #7 should be checked and A I days the VSS can be rotated to find a sweet spot to get the best signal. That requires running it in gear while on jack stands.

    Best way to work under Jeep?

    If the wheels are staying on, I built these from 2x4's no fear of them tipping over. The wood is glued and screwed together. Copy/pasta picture from internet.

    Replaced starter, now what?

    Oh wow, begin anywhere you want because there's a chance for electrical corrosion everywhere. Starter problems sound like the main battery cables have corrosion either inside the cable itself or at the connectors. IF you're careful, you can check the starter with jumper cables and a...

    I have some welding experience with sheet metal and frame repair but not in the areas you describe. Looking forward to seeing what your dealing with and the repairs. Hows the frame holding out?

    Gas tank skid plate replacement

    That sounds about right for a 2 to 3 hour job. They have to pay for their tools, overhead, and something left over to put food on the table.

    Michigan Detroit area mechanic suggestions

    Before you dive into any major projects, ask here first for advice. There's a lot of "Need to know" items when making changes, especially to the suspension and lifting the YJ. This can run into the $1000's when done right, and while it may look cool, you may not like the ride when getting...

    Gas tank skid plate replacement

    Six little screws hold the pump onto the top of the tank. If you change the pump, it's a good idea to use a new rubber gasket too. Not all pumps come with a new gasket. You can see the two small white check valves on either side. They tend to leak from their gaskets going bad. The tank has...

    Gas tank skid plate replacement

    I just replaced my original fuel pump in my '92 YJ. It was loud and the gas gauge sending unit and check valve didn't work. I replaced it with a recommended one from Amazon and we'll see how long it lasts. Good pressure and nearly silent and my gas gauge works again. We shall see. I also...

    Gas tank skid plate replacement

    All your fears are about to come true. The skid pan holds up the tank, four bolts in the back and three in the front. There's also two straps which hold the tank to the skid pan. I highly recommend getting the tank as close to empty as possible, 6 lbs. per gallon add up. I attached a 6ft...
