    Hard top uppers for half door don't fit

    I had to remove the spreader bar to clean it and get the two pieces to slide. Just to be clear, there's two bolts on the back end. One attaches it to the back roll bar and the second is on the top side that pinches the sliding bars together. Mine had light surface rust between the tubes...

    2.5 pulley nonsense

    Loud sound on startup on 1994 YJ

    This is crazy, it's like my YJ reads this forum and starts having issues that arise in here. I recently didn't a bunch of work but nothing around the belt or pullies other than the alternator wires on the back side and radiator in front. Added new coolant and burped the system, ran it for 15...

    Hard top uppers for half door don't fit

    Do you have a hard top or soft? I have the hard top so I found it much easier to remove the adjustable spreader bar section of the roll bar that runs along the top of the windows. Reason being, there's a tamper resistant torx bolt there #TR50 that was difficult to get access to. First...

    Hard top uppers for half door don't fit

    I've heard there's a difference between YJ and TJ doors yet both can be made to fit the YJ. I don't now what these differences are. I bought full doors for my YJ and needed to slightly tweak the spreader bars and windshield angle to get them to seal all around. a Very small adjustment (1/4")...

    Loud sound on startup on 1994 YJ

    Sounds like a worn or loose fan belt. They can squeal very loudly . There are spray on products like Belt Grip that may temporarily help but usually don't last long.

    New Ignition Key Tumbler and Key Release Lever problems

    Back around the end of November I installed a new ignition key because the old one was worn and and I wanted matching door locks for my full doors. Changing out the key tumbler was not difficult but did require removing the steering wheel, using special loaner tools (Thanks to AutoZone). The...

    What have I done now?

    Be advised many of the Amazon/eBay LED bulbs only work when the electricity is flowing in one direction. If the bulb doesn't seem to work, take it out and turn it half way around, that should do it. It's a 50/50 shot getting it right the first time. Reading the one star reviews and you'll...

    89 YJ: help with engine temp gauge issue

    Yes to the coolant flush. I used a Prestone product which looked like clear water. For heavy corrosion they say leave it in longer so I left it in for 2 days. Made a huge difference. A quick flush is only 10 minutes or so, I can't recall.

    Big7 cable kit install question

    That small cover is what was on my PDC. I believe it's the OEM part from the factory even though it may not be shown. It has small clips on the top and right side. I just trimmed the left side as seen in the picture. I wish I had a 3D printer.

    YJ Heating System Explained

    It also could be you have low coolant flow through the heating coil or the fins on the coil are blocked. If the coil is barely warm from low water flow, you may get 160 degree air at a slow fan speed, but when the fan is on high the coil can't produce enough heat to keep up and warm the air.

    Big7 cable kit install question

    I didn't feel too comfortable having the two terminals exposed on the PDC, so I trimmed a side opening on the original cover. The clips on the cover's sides are untouched so it will still lock in place. I'd be the first to drop a wrench and have it hit the exposed terminals and short out to...

    Coolant foaming

    One thing is Jeeps are notorious for having air bubbles in the cooling system after draining and refilling them. They should be properly "Burped" during and after their filled. I always drove the front end up on ramps, or park on a steep hill so the front is much higher, and this should clear...

    What is this?

    The one on the left looks like mine. Before installing the new one, use a q-tip with alcohol to clean out the cup where it goes and then lube the O-ring and cup with light oil before trying to install it. Forcing in a dry O-ring might tear it. The one in the right might not be correct but I...

    Headlight oddity

    When they go off try quickly switching between high and low beam. Did you check the Hi-Lo switch attached to the steering column? They seem to go bad.

    89 YJ has no spark

    Someone else needs to verify if this works of your model year. Keep in mind your YJ may not be original equipment and many of these codes may not apply to yours. The key trick: With the ignition OFF, turn the key to ON (do not start the jeep), OFF, ON, OFF, ON (Complete this sequence in under...

    New to Jeep could use drawings!

    Hey there! A good start is looking through the resources section in this forum. Several factory service manuals and other publications. Cheers. https://wrangleryjforum.com/forums/yj-resources.121/

    Battery Cables and Ground Upgrades

    The installation looks good. Question about the red terminal cover on the PDA covering the two red wires. Did that come with your kit? Mine didn't have that one, I did order the other two Military terminal covers. and that's all I got.

    Big7 cable kit install question

    Ha, old post is now older. I'm installing the Big 7 kit and had a question about that C120 box and needed to verify where the new Alternator stud to engine block cable goes. Google gave a link to me asking the same questions years ago and getting the answers I need. My OEM alternator...
