Bad news update. Brought it to a mechanic for a once over and the steering and the suspension are shot. Working to find replacement parts. Does anybody by chance know if a tilt steering column will replace a non tilt one?

You have my commiseration. I started by identifying systems I was replacing or removing. I removed the radio and speaker and replaced it with a giant Bluetooth speaker. Might be worth considering if you want to upgrade tunes but don’t care about 30 year old hardware. Once I did that I just...

It is thank you! Been in the family for most of its life, it’s a 92 same age as me. Glad to see some appreciation with it! Yes it was working but I can’t say how well. When I removed it I cut the cords(no big deal to just wire new ones to what’s left) and it has a missing speaker cover on one...

Update: I made some progress with rust on the body, electrical cleanup, and general removal of things I don’t like. I was able to remove all of the zip on cage pads. Took a bit and needed some lube but got it done. Additionally I was able to remove the existing speaker and all wiring...

Hello again! I’m looking at the pile of all the things Iv removed from my jeep and wondering the best way to address it. I have one full set of soft top panels missing back panel 1 random windows and panels that came with it, but can’t verify they are for a yj The back seat Eventually the old...

Hello! Making this post so I can track my work and share it as I go along. I bought a decent condition 1993 yj. I live in Michigan. Told the owner I’d pay full asking if he drove it the hour it needed to go to get to my house. I considered that good enough of a test drive for me considering it...

Hello! Bit of a silly question, but does anyone have strong feelings on how to access the underbelly? It’s my first project car, most of my mechanical experience comes from motorcycles. I’m wondering what wisdom is out there. my 93yj does not have a lift kit and I don’t plan on installing one...

I was looking around to find a good shop to go to just to have the option, and was quoted 280 in labor to do both the pump and the plate. That feels reasonable to me, but maybe not if it’s a 30 minute job?

Got it thanks!

Totally get it thanks for all the info. The mechanic is more for a larger project I don’t have the tools for, like an engine and trans swap. I have a decent garage to work in, and a good collection of tools. Iv been wrenching on it already but hoping someone here happened to know a guy who...

How difficult was replacing the pump? I’m not having issues with mine currently so if it’s a pain to do I’ll likely leave as is until I need to mess with it

Hello again! You guys have already been really helpful so figured I’d keep asking questions! I have some potential projects that I think might be a bit above my skill level/tool collection. Does anyone know of a good mechanic for a 93yj in the Detroit or Metro Detroit area? If not, does...

Oof… well thanks for letting me know this is super helpful. If I’m going to be doing all this is there anything else it opens up access to I should be working on? Would it be worthwhile to replace the fuel pump and maybe upgrade the tank itself? If I’m not crazy I want to say Iv seen a 20 gallon...

Thanks. Sounds like a job for a Dremel and cutting blade.

Hello! I have a 1993 yj wrangler I’m working on. My skid plate under the gas tank is fully rusted through and needs a replacement. I’m hoping someone on here has done this same thing at some point and can help calm my nerves on it. First, is there anything I need to know going into this? I’m...
