    1993 Center Console Replacement

    Agreed with above. Save your pennies and get a Tuffy. I'm not as concerned about security, they can have whatever is in there on a day to day. So I use a 20mm ammo can in the center console of my CJ5. I, never got around to putting in a cupholder.

    Help with windshield frame hinges

    I was able to easily reach up from below with a 1/2 wrench and get on those nuts on both sides. Even the driver's side. If you don't have speakers you can see the nuts from there. I mean some stuff is in the way like what you mentioned but certainly not to the level of needing to remove the dash.

    95 YJ grinding noise (2WD to 4HI while moving)

    Most likey the syncro is going out as Macho mentioned. CAD is easy to check for now. Once they went to the 1piece axleshafts from the factory the syncro was deleted from the t-case. I can also shift on the fly into 4H with my CJ2A with front drive flanges, and when I had my CJ5 I would leave...

    How much should I pay to get track bars removed?

    On YJs especially if you happen to street drive it a lot, I recommend keeping the front track bar. It does help with wandering and steering feel on the street.

    1990 YJ is a pain to start in the morning

    Dude, a lot of times you post good info, but every time you post it's buried in multiple walls of text posts. Just a few minutes ago you posted to a thread with a gigantic post that had nothing to do with the OP's bent pushrod after the OP had already posted that he had figured out the problem...

    Need advice on a Jeep

    That's always my catch on these kinds of adverts. "Oh it's an easy fix just gotta fix x,y or z."..................ok so why haven't you done it yet and asked more for it?

    Need advice on a Jeep

    "Almost Guarantee" What a joker. Dude's a salesman, for sure. Of the used car variety. "Used it every single day, fuse box had a corroded fuse, bought a new one to stall, but do not have time for a rewire if the fuse box" so he lied by omission in the ad. "Corroded fuse", you mean it...

    WTB: Looking for a 1993 YJ 2.5 air box part

    Just make one. Previous owners drilled the rivets on mine and removed the panel, I'm guessing as a cheap "cold air" intake. Yeah I've had fun reversing the "good ideas" the previous owners had. I took a plastic tote lid and cut it to shape, then sealed it with black RTV. It's not perfect...

    Any performance advice for 2.5 4-cylinder?

    Best performance advice sans forced induction? Stock sized tires in some lighter weight AT itires. Something like Goodyear Wrangler Trailrunners or something similar. I prefer the look of the stock steel wheels, but if you could go with a lightweight aluminum wheel even better. With my stock...

    My new to me YJ

    Not bad for 2k especially if it runs, even if they did a poor job of the paint.

    Goodyear Wrangler Radials

    Yeah Wal Mart has been one of the last holdouts to carry those tires. I believe Pep Boys still carries them for about 80 per tire. This last go round, I went with GoodYear Wrangler Trailrunners on the XJ and YJ.

    Where do you purchase your YJ parts from?

    Rock Auto most of the time. When I'm parts shopping unless I'm only getting one or two parts, I'll have Rock Auto, Amazon, Oriley's, Napa, Auto Zone and Carquest/Advance Auto websites open and doing a lot of comparison shopping. For the most part Rock Auto and Amazon win out over the FLAPS...

    Is there a roll bar available that connects the windshield to the roll cage when the top is off?

    Glad you figured it out. As soon as I saw your photo I was like "it's missing the bars".

    Oil and temperature gauge readings

    You never read my entire post, do you? Or you misinterpret it. My info is from the FSM with regard to the coolant temp sensor resistance data, that chart I posted is directly from the manual. This data applies to both the gauge sensor and the thermostat mounted sensor. The OP was The info I...
