    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    I thought it would be good to spread out the force so the cable doesn’t crack the whole housing.

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    My main problem is that the bracket anchoring the blend door broke off the housing. Any ideas on the a good way to reattach? Maybe small bolts/nuts?

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    I’ve tackled the heater/vent rehab. I found some nice photos of the location and number of studs attaching the assembly to the firewall (apparently there are 4). My flexible defroster duct is disintegrating; hopefully there’s a simple replacement for that.

    Driver seat off-centered vs the steering wheel

    he means “if it were an auto, it would bother me less” And yes, the offset seat is just one quirk among many. Part of the charm!

    The only thing Ive seen is adjust it to fit your top. On their soft top instructions Bestop includes a measurement. Check out their site and the downloadable instructions.

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    Not much happening to the YJ recently; just driving and enjoying it. I do need to pull the dash and get the heat/vent system in working condition, but I haven’t decided whether to install A/C so that’s on hold. I did have a seat belt lock up permanently, so I got a set of 4 replacements from...

    1987 Laredo Spice Wheel

    I stumbled across this site https://craftcustoms.com/jeep-steering-wheel-and-dash-trim/ a few months ago. They seem to have experience and might be able to help.

    What are modest off-road mods?

    I mean, at this point it’s hypothetical so cost isn’t a big factor yet.

    What are modest off-road mods?

    If I’m going to put lockers in for rocky trails, isn’t it best to use selectable in both axles?

    What are modest off-road mods?

    Has anyone done a SYE? Based on videos I’ve watched it looks fairly straight forward. Then a custom DC driveshaft. It might be nice to do that regardless and get rid of the drop pucks.

    What are modest off-road mods?

    Plus my stock transmission skid has some definite rust compromise, so a mild tummy tuck with a new skid plate could be nice. I suppose I could tolerate a small body lift if I had to.

    What are modest off-road mods?

    With the OME springs it has in the rear I had driveshaft vibrations, so it has a T-case drop at the moment. I’d have to get a double cardan rear driveshaft and SYE, I suppose.

    What are modest off-road mods?

    I've had an LJ for the past 5 years and built it for moderate Colorado mountain trails. It's on 33's with 2.5" OME springs 1.25" body lift, and JKS Quicker Disconnect sway bar links. It is otherwise basically stock, with all original control arms, no tummy tuck, stock driveshafts, gearing and...

    Door striker adjustment

    I found grade 8 1/2” flat washers in a 3-pack at Lowes; two washers fit the bill. Now the tailgate is solid and quiet; definitely recommend new seals if the existing one is old.

    Door striker adjustment

    I’ve replaced the rubber seal on the tailgate and I’m finding that the striker needs to move rightward in order to line up with the latch. I installed a new striker a few months ago and it came with one washer, but the parts catalog shows three (all discontinued of course). Can I just use any...

    Anyone install the complete JeepAir kit?

    Yes space to park cars is part of the problem. We have a big family and our teens and young adult kids have cars too. I read the JeepAir instructions and it isn’t too daunting. I need to completely remove the heating/vent system anyway to clean and replace cables. Can you comment on whether...

    Anyone install the complete JeepAir kit?

    Yes I do have two toys now, which I never thought would happen. The new car is an ‘05 lotus elise. It’s probably similar to a viper in practicality. I do plan on commuting with it 1-2 days a week, but there are some parts of town I visit for work I wouldn’t take it, and it won’t be good in rain...

    Anyone install the complete JeepAir kit?

    I’m torn which direction to go. I like the jeep as it is, but it’s not great as a daily driver. Since I got a sports car in January my wife wants me to get rid of either my old civic or the YJ. It’s like having to choose between losing an arm or a leg!
