Here is the driveshaft on mine which is all stock height. Much less angle. My YJ still has the original springs which are close to flat. Included a picture of one for reference.
I can take a picture soon. I don't feel like mine is that much of an angle.
I'm on vacation in the Dominican but will snap a picture when I get home (early next week). If I forget, tag me in a post so I remember.
Interesting twist - mine never had one. Researching it now that I knew what it was for, only 91 and up has them. Mine's an 89. Guess it was never missing.
Again - thanks for the help/info.
Thanks folks! I thought mine was missing because at one point, a previous owner installed a body lift and made the cable routing too tight (still possible), but nothing else was there on mine other than the ebrake cable. Mine has the Mopar MPFI kit installed though so the filter is in a...
Does anyone know what this bracket/shield on the left side rear frame is called? It looks like the emergency brake passes through it and it just bolts to the frame near the rear bump stop. It is missing on my YJ and I'd like to replace it, but not sure what I'm searching for in order to find...
If you really want a YJ, you can find a much nicer one and maybe trade but if not, Toyota trucks (Rebuilt title or not) are always marketable. I wouldn't touch the one you posted for $500. I'm not even sure id want it in my driveway for free.
I can't say enough good things about the Bilstein HD B6s. They really made a difference over the stock shocks (which were still functioning correctly). The ride is much more controlled - far easier to drink a coffee even under bumpy circumstances - they seem to pair really well with the stock...
My current profile picture is with the 235s and yup, the offset of the TJ Alcoas is perfect - fully under the flairs. Mine are the 15 inch version from a Rocky Mountain Edition. There was also a 16 inch version from the Tomb Raider models.
For reference - 1st picture is when I bought it and it...
When I bought my 89 (4.2), it was manual steering with 32 inch tires and a body lift. Stock gearing. Within the first 5 minutes of driving it, I knew these mods were not for me. I swapped out the tires for 235/75/15 and am running them on TJ Alcoa wheels. I can't emphasize how much better it was...
Lots of YJs in the Walking Dead franchise across multiple different series/seasons. Also a YJ was the base for Rover 1 in The 100.
Can't forget Back to the Future, and also there was a YJ Renegade in a movie called Silk Stockings.
Good on you for tackling that - pretty ripe! I wonder about the integrity of the rest of the frame or even if a replacement frame wouldn't have been easier?
