Not really much to say on this one, but I decided to utilize a Smittybilt rear bumper. Removing the ARB bumper revealed some drilled holes (unevenly spaced) and some painting I did to make the holes not rust. Essentially, eyesores were exposed and I’m not really a fan. While I love the...

I gave up on the Borla. No matter what I did, I could not get it to stop interfering with the frame when it was warmed up and expanded. I reached out to Napa accessories for a return, they of course told me that I couldn’t return it because it had been installed. Stupid policies - the thing...

I don’t know what cap you keep referring to. The circular retainer that you press down and turn? How does an inexperienced driver mess that up from driving?

Mine had individual nuts holding the hinges to the tub. seems to be the same design across the years, but I guess maybe some needed more seam sealer than others. There was some seam sealer in the area, just 0 on the nuts. It does seem like the earlier years, maybe 87-90 or so, have more...

It's strange how varied the results on this are. I have removed the hinges from the tub before, and there was no seam sealer whatsoever on any of the 8 nuts, and I could tell no one had been there before. Got them out no problem. I did however, break one of the 8 holding the hinges to the frame...

If you're getting low fuel pressure but the pump is turning on (per the description in the original post), you probably have the busted hose that Scott mentioned. The fact that it shot fuel at the rail could just be the lack of resistance. Once the regulator is installed and the system is...

I missed this post because when I first saw it, there was only the pic of the driveshaft and I forgot to come back and check for text later. That driveshaft is aftermarket, and is a double cardan style. Some also refer to it as a CV driveshaft (constant velocity), though it isn't really. It's...

On springs like OME and stock, I think the ride quality really comes down to the shock more than the spring. When you are on a tall lift, then the spring pretty much doesn't flex well and makes the ride pretty stiff no matter what shock you have. That has been my experience with the taller lifts...

I'll send a PM soon

Makes sense, hopefully the fan option solves the placement issue. For the driveshaft, I'm curious about the boot. Is it a stock style driveshaft or a double cardan aftermarket shaft? The stock YJ shaft doesn't have a boot, because it is sealed at the slip yoke. The TJ version of the transfer...

I remember now that this one is the one where the engine was mounted too far forward and that it was a swap. I was thinking you were new to the forum and not the same one that posted about that before. Makes more sense now.

Okay, the 4th is definitely for the 4WD, I know that for sure because of how it comes out of the PDC loom. If you found the connector it plugs into down below, then the 4wd part is settled. that just leaves the one other connector that I am not sure about. I see now how you mentioned about the...

How did you determine it was originally a 2.5L and was swapped to 4.0? The first connector is definitely the single connector for what would be a missing AC compressor. The second connector is not common but it does look like it's for some type of AC drier. The normal connector for the AC...

Looks like a CJ5 to me. Definitely not new, they stopped making those in 1983.

The lift is why the tie rod rolls, because the added angle to the drag link puts a weird force on the drag link which pushes on the tie rod in a direction that rolls it. A drop pitman would help or you could also try loosening the clamps and rotating them to a position where they won’t hit...

Most lifts will be pretty bouncy due to the arched springs. OME is the only option I’ve found for staying with any lift that seems to have any bit of comfort. It felt great for what it was. I went with stock because it was easier to make things “right.” Driveshaft angles, steering angles, etc...

Yeah, they would work. I think @TRevs might have already claimed them, or at least asked about them a month or so ago. They just came off a week ago and I haven’t had time to get around to taking pics and stuff to officially put them out for anyone to buy yet.

A lot of the Old Man Emu info you'll see around here was by me. That is what I had installed for several years as an attempt to get away from the tall lift but not quite go back to stock. It rode quite well, but ultimately I decided I wanted to go back to fully stock instead of still being...

Not a dumb question at all. I went with Bilstein B6 4600 shocks. They are one of the only good quality brands offering shocks in the stock length for a YJ. Front - 24-013093 Rear - 24-013109 They are a bit stiff, but I wouldn't say harsh. Overall they work pretty well. For a softer ride, Old...

Don’t want to be too hopeful, but maybe some good news soon. I ordered a second tow hitch which came in today. I measured against it and compared it to the first one and pretty much every single bolt hole on it was 1/8” further away from the corresponding hole on the other end of the hitch. So...
