    High Output Alternators

    After I put a HO alternator on my 89 4.2 the belt would squeak when battery was low or when I run all my KC Daylighters for a long time. Even after installing new belts. I have to spray belt dressing on it to stop it. I probably should put in dual batteries.

    2nd try with potential YJ purchase

    Depends on if you want to spend your time working on the jeep or on the trail. Way too much headache and work for me. I don’t have the time or mechanical skills for that type of project. My 89 is carbureted and it’s the weak link.

    2nd try with potential YJ purchase

    Not sure why it says it’s black. Looks like it came factory in red and now it looks green to me. Looks like a fresh paint job to me. They repainted the engine bay and not the inside of the hood? I wonder why it has a ATV winch on it? First thing I would do to it is replace the front bumper and...

    WHY? J's (the YJ abomination thread)

    I always get a kick when someone says they have 2K budget for a 4” lift. Gona cost significantly more than that when all is said and done when you open that can of worms.

    Where do you like to ride?

    Mine’s a stick. I put the Tcase and trans in neutral. Mine still racks up miles flat towing. With an auto I think you need to so the same. The most I’ve flat towed is 200 miles one way. I usually just put it on a trailer if I’m going long distance just incase I break it. Also most states require...

    Where do you like to ride?

    I’m lucky, where I live in SoCal there are plenty of places to wheel around me. Mountain trails, rocks, desert sand but no mud around here. Tiera del sol is 2 hours away from me Hammers is just over an hour. We have the Glamis sand dunes, Ocotillo and Anza Burrego less than 3.5 hour drive. I...

    WHY? J's (the YJ abomination thread)

    I left my lights on once at a desert bar and came back out to 6 well intentioned round light guys trying to figure out how to turn them off. They didn’t have a clue. When a Rounder criticizes my squares I ask them about their rounder, those stock tires, lift, axels etc? When they answer no I...

    Someone will pay him 18.5 for it and think they got a deal.

    How can I tell if my YJ has a lift?

    Pictures would be helpful.

    Thoughts and opinions on potential 91 YJ purchase

    Bring a screw driver with you. Use it to tap on the frame in multiple areas. Also bring a good flashlight. Check the skid plate and body mount bolts. If you buy it plan on changing ALL fluids and ujoints.

    31 " tires

    I run 31-10.5-15s 2.5 inch spring lift on my 89. I have a slight rub on the rear of the springs at full steering. Hasn’t been an issue in 29yrs. I have 4:10 gears with a 4.2. I don’t know if you need to change gears on your 2.5.
