    What is it?

    Here in Michigan cats don't last to long outside, but one of mine which was a stray has to be 6-7 years old and he has been an inside/outside cat all his life. If he had to live outside full time, the winter would probably kill him. The best part of inside/outside is that the cats rather use the...

    Looking for suggestions to improve my 1989 YJ project

    My wheels are just 28's so the 3:07's isnt too bad. Plus I do have the 4.2. Not sure if you have the 4 cylinder or not but that supercharger sounds like it will take care of any power issues lol. My logic via rpm calculator was that with 28's and a 3:07, at 70 my rpm's should be 2000 which is...

    That is too funny! Cool pic with all the glowing eyes for sure! I hear ya on the pest control....cats are savages lol. The way they "play" with what they catch before they kill it is something. Mother nature I guess.

    Looking for suggestions to improve my 1989 YJ project

    It really depends how you plan to use it. I'm new to jeeps as well and bought an 87 with a 2.5 lift and 33's for tires, and 4:10 gears. I liked nothing about that setup because I really wanted it more as a fun daily driver, that I could drive anywhere. I put the stock wheels on it, swapped out...

    Sorry, out of stock

    So true honestly.

    Also, the knob spins for a more fine adjustment. I'll be taking mine out shortly, replacing the complete front axle and will transfer this setup to the new one.

    Macho actually said it backwards but your post is correct. pushed in is unlocked and pulled out is locked

    Kansas Front axle

    I'd think you would post a pic of the axle, and not the jeep.. Nice that it's free though, but would be good to see the completeness of it.

    SOLD Peugeot BA-10 Transmission w/Transfer Case

    My ba10 was doing the stuck in first gear thing, thats why I swapped it out with an ax15. Its like nothing is compatible with the ba10 either, bell housing, etc. The transfer case is worth saving I would think though.

    SOLD Peugeot BA-10 Transmission w/Transfer Case

    It will be interesting if anyone wants that trans as bad as they were. I have my old one I was going to scrap but if yours sells, maybe I wont scrap mine.

    Lifts / Tire Sizes

    I had a 2.5 lift with 33x12.5's. To me it look and rode fine as far as not rubbing goes. I went back to stock wheels though for much better street behavior. The jeep has an extended pitman arm, extended brake lines and sway bar ends too..so its a bit more than adding leafs and shocks when you...

    Improving synchro shifting problems by using different gear lube weights or additives?

    Do you know specifically what atf you used? That sounds like something I'd like to try. I googled it and see: Chrysler (68218057AA) Genuine Mopar Fluid ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid but not sure that's what you used.

    First Jeep, ‘87 YJ value?

    Good deal for sure. Like these guys said, just drive it and enjoy it before any mods. I wouldn't rush into lifting it or big tires. To me that ruins them.
