First thing I wanted to tackle was getting the axles swapped between the Jeeps. I knew the rear diff spider gears had been welded on the 95 and the front Dana 30 and been rigged to have it permanently locked. The axles under my old 91 were in decent shape and would work for the immediate future...

I trailered my new Sahara to the house and began going through it. With the amount of dirt and mud crammed all throughout the frame, tub and engine I figured I'd try to get rid of most of it before getting it apart in the garage. I yanked the soft top (that I won't be using anyway) and pulled it...

So, a little back story...........this is technically my 2nd YJ that I have owned. The first being a 1991 S 4.0 that although I thought I had researched plenty before diving in, I wound up making an emotional purchase and that was certainly an expensive lesson. After A few years and deciding...

I am looking at this option myself. I purchased a Banks revolver about 3 years ago for my old 91 YJ but it wound up staying in the box. I just installed it on my 95 Sahara that I have been rebuilding so I cannot comment on longevity but I do like the idea of a flex pipe, like all the FWD cars I...

Yeah that is a solid point. If it's such an easy fix, why not take the effort to fix it and then sell it at a higher price. The truth is that beyond the fire, it's probably hiding a host of other problems.

Chasing electrical gremlins can be the worst, especially after a fire. As others mentioned, if you wind up purchasing it, I would pick up another harness and swap out the entire thing. To my knowledge, Painless does not make a kit for the fuel injected YJ, only up to 1990. Looks like that YJ is...

Are you still looking for this part? I thought I had tossed them but I came across one of them today that was hidden above some other parts in the garage.

I might still have a couple of extra air boxes, one was cracked. I may have tossed them I can't remember. I will dig through my parts pile and see if it's still there. If it is, id be happy to toss it in the mail.

Nice work. That white pearl is a nice color and makes for a great looking Islander.

Yeah, I will make sure it's wired up well. I was wondering if it mattered on the reverse lights, thank you for confirming.

I was looking at the other thread where you were discussing the wiring needed to ground the starter relay and setup the reverse lights, etc. For the brown/yellow starter wire, instead of running it to the black/orange Z2 wire, I was planning to run it up through the firewall and into the cab to...

I've had good luck with LUK on other vehicles. I have purchased the LUK combo that Macho mentioned above along with the mopar throwout bearing. Have not installed them yet but that is what I am going with.

Out with the old............

Yeah, I am planning to just find an OEM transfer linkage. I just hate paying $150 for a little bracket, kinda silly. I see one on DeadJeep and I see another on Ebay that will work. Just gonna look around and maybe make a post, see if anybody has one laying in a parts pile that they don't need. I...

Yeah, I have learned something as well. I kept the 91 linkage figuring it would bolt right up. It does not. I started poking around the internet and found different info. Some listings say 90-95, some say 92-95, etc. I too learned that they changed something in 92. The Novak AX15 I purchased is...

Finally getting back to this after the holidays and life getting in the way. Pulled the transfer case today and want to pull the auto trans tomorrow. Every time I think I have all the parts, I discover something else I need. I had kept my transfer case shifter linkage from the 91 YJ I had...

I have removed a few windshields on my own YJ's and at the junkyard. I will take a pick or sharp tool and dig out the torx head. Scrape out the paint and any dirt that is in there, to allow the bit the maximum depth and grip on it. I'll typically use a long ratchet and break them loose by hand...

I had read the harnesses were the same, it certainly makes sense from a manufacturing point of view. I was thinking of using the neutral safety switch as a "kill" switch with a grounded toggle somewhere, since I have to deal with it anyway. Ahh yes, I was thinking of the wrong part. I will...

Yes, that thread is the best info I have been able to find. I have searched quite a bit, just wanting to be as thorough in case there is some odd thing I didn't know about as it should be pretty straight forward. You put some good info in that post on what is needed for the wiring, which I...

I came across a solid deal on a 95 Sahara, 63k with no rust on the tub or frame. Seen it's share of mud and offroad and no maintenance for a long time but overall in good shape. I really wanted another manual but this one is an auto. I had been looking for many months for a decent YJ and when...
