    How long should the shackle bolts (and frame bushing bolts) be?

    So ... How long should the shackle bolts (and frame bushing bolts) be? I'm looking at the previous shackle bolts and the greasable shackle bushings + bolts I bought to replace them, and the greasable ones seem much shorter. The new ones use nylock nuts, how much thread (if any should be...

    I was very very careful and apparently very lucky? :p

    Quick rear driveshaft question

    I understand. I'm a little defensive as so many people feel RC stuff is junk. I did choose to replace all of the spring bushings with polyurtethane Daystar bushings and greaseable bolts.

    Quick rear driveshaft question

    Why would that matter? I'm hesitant to say Rough Country X-series 4.5 as people seem to poo-poo that brand. Regardless of the lift I know I need to replace the drive shaft and install an SYE (but like I said, I may install my T-case drop kit in the interim while I wait for the SYE and new shaft...

    Quick rear driveshaft question

    I know I need to either drop the transfer case or install an SYE + new driveshaft (looking at Adams right now) but does this look safe to drive out of the garage so I can turn it around? Better light in the rear of the garage and I have to do the front part of the lift kit. I do t recall that...

    Exhaust manifold replacement: what else should I do at the same time? Share some wisdom & save me some time

    How does one know if they have an exhaust manifold leak, or a leak somewhere else along the exhaust? I wonder if I have a leak but am not sure how to check. Passed emissions inspection though.

    What's this heater noise?

    When my heat is on, there is a relatively high-frequency clicking noise. I'm not versed in heating systems, but the noise is only on when the heat fan is operating. It's annoying ... where should I look to diagnose? What parts should I be looking to fix or replace? I also have a lot of noise...

    1994 YJ Sport SE in Hunter Green

    Great day of garage therapy today. Swapped out old-n-rusted shackles for Rough Country 1.25” boomerang shackles (https://a.co/45wC6gd). Gave an inch of lift. Took all day, if you include multiple trips to buy tools to massage an old Jeep. Learned how not to cut a hardened bolt. Also how not to...

    4" (ish) lift kits

    As chance would have it, I've already purchased poly leaf spring bushings as I was planning on replacing things to see what smoothes out. I'd need an SYE, and maybe some shims, regardless of kit - right? Thanks!

    4" (ish) lift kits

    I've been doing some forum digging and would like some help tipping my decision. I am looking at 4" to 5" lift kits and of course what's on the menu is Rough Country, BDS, and Rubicon Engineering ... Bear with me! The overall plan in the coming years is a rock crawler (the 94 YJ is my toy...

    1994 YJ Sport SE in Hunter Green

    … w/ a chrome grille. Bought it yesterday, threw on some 30s as I knew they would fit. I’ve been wanting one of these for years, and this one fell into my lap - saw an ad on fb, was the first interested party, handshake deal the next day. One owner who was a mechanic, paperwork and photos to...
