    Should I rebuild my manual transmission or buy a remanufactured unit?

    Excellent. Thanks. I didn’t realize they are still made brand new. like you mentioned I think it’s the way to go and something that will last longer. What I know about transmission could fill a Shot glass. LOL

    Should I rebuild my manual transmission or buy a remanufactured unit?

    Just off the phone with my mechanic. Transmission is going into 2nd roughly. It goes, but you can hear it and it a bit sticky. He said it’s the synchro which I pretty much guessed as well. We’re going to do some basics like making sure the fluid is changed, etc before taking any next step...

    Drink holders

    Thanks. I ordered the exact type and installed yesterday. I like them. I see yours has a plastic ring on it. I didn’t see that with mine. Did you do that yourself?

    Frame or frameless soft top

    I have the frame but would need new fabric. I’m also looking at frameless. I read the benefits of both and on the frameless I like being able to remove the sides and be “safari” style. For those that have experienced both, what are your thoughts? Pro/con. thanks!

    Gas Fumes

    Thanks! Tried siphoning some gas out to get farther below the vents but couldnt’ get a hose down the fill pipe. I’ll just run it down then drop the tank. Btw, my tank is 20 gallons. I put in just over18g last night. Seems the 4.0 engines have the larger tank than the 2.5’s. I did read...

    Gas Fumes

    Well, more research indicates I need to drop the tank. There are a number of plastic fitting on top of the tank that crack, along with the rubber line. The only way is to drop the tank. Been watching videos on that and looks pretty doable. I’ll have to either siphon out the current gas or...

    Gas Fumes

    Filled the tank last night and this morning the garage has serious gas fumes. When i bought the jeep a few days ago it had 1/2 a tank and no fumes. So I’m thinking that there is a bad cap or there must be a vent line of some sort. Reading indicated a vent line to a filter and it seem that...

    New member from Texas here. Bought a 1993 YJ and brought it home tonight. Needs a few things but by and large it’s in good shape. Will probably lean on a few folks for advice/recommendations over time. Luckily one of my neighbors has a 94 and will help me out. This will be my 4th jeep. The...
