    1995 4.0 spark plugs

    These old 4.0's like the cheap plugs. I had read that over and over and when I did my rebuild, I just went with the old Champion copper plugs in mine and she runs great with them.

    Original Sahara Tire Cover?

    If you know anybody who is proficient with Adobe Illustrator, that image could be made to be any size and then sent to the company.

    1995 YJ turn signal works but then stops with non-blinking green light

    They do simply pull out, toward you. They have been in place for most likely, 24 years so they might be comfortable where they are lol. Just pull on them, they will come out.

    Shift knob insert

    The best stuff ever lol. It's very similar to Shoe Goo if you have ever seen that. It's a strong adhesive that dries like a strong rubber. I have used it for years for all sorts of things. It's a slow cure though, so if you use it let it cure properly.

    Will automatic transmission from 89 XJ fit 90 YJ?

    Can't agree with this statement more. Not to mention all the other odds and ends you will need from a donor to make that swap work. I would just spend the time and teach her how to drive the manual. It's a great skill for her to learn anyway and the YJ manual would be pretty easy to learn on.

    So crazy that it was indeed the flywheel. I have used the LUK flywheels for my go to on OEM replacements for many vehicles over the years. Like dodgerammit mentioned, I will do my best to fix a part or pull it from the yard before I have to buy some Chinese replacement. Thankfully I picked up my...

    (SOLVED) Jeep died when coming to stop. Cranks, but won't restart.

    I had the exact same issue when I did mine. I laid it down as it instructed but it didn't line up. Looked at the old one and scratched my head for a second. Did the same thing, flipped it around and over and saw that the holes would line up, so in it went. Not sure why it's like that.

    (SOLVED) Jeep died when coming to stop. Cranks, but won't restart.

    Yeah, pretty much anytime I see somebody post these symptoms, this is the first thing to bring up. It's almost always the issue nowadays. I am glad I saw this problem before I installed my new sender/fuel pump so I was able to swap out that piece of cheap hose and save myself the headache of...

    How many gallons of coolant to fill the cooling system and engine block from empty?

    Yeah I was about 3 gallons when I filled mine after rebuild. That was with an empty block/head, new heater core and hoses and new reservoir so it was completely empty/dry.

    89 YJ 4.2 auto to manual swap help

    I swapped my auto for a new AX15 in my 95. I am still using the auto pcm in my Jeep and it runs without any problem. I picked up a manual pcm for it just in case but didn't need it. The wiring was pretty easy. For the reverse light, I just purchased a 2 pin weather pack connecter and spliced it...

    (SOLVED) Jeep died when coming to stop. Cranks, but won't restart.

    Yeah, that was kind of a bummer that I couldn't just purchase the plastic sections. So I have some brand new, extra lines laying in my garage now in case they are needed. My hard lines are in good shape but the rubber was in very bad shape and I just didn't want to risk burning it down after all...

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    Nice fix, comes in handy having a 3D printer and somebody who knows how to design the part you need lol.

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    Yeah, looks pretty similar to how mine was. Most of the foam was pretty dry rotted and some surface rust on parts. It had a ton of small leaves and debris in it and in the blower fan. I cleaned it all out and spruced it up. Then resealed it with RTV and over all, it all works pretty well. Since...

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    Looking good, nice way to get that heater box looking new again and fixing the bracket. Did you just back flush the heater core to clean it out? I was amazed how heavy my oem core was from all the rusty crud and sediment in it when I had my heater box out. I just wound up replacing it.

    Keep at it, just a little at a time. You'll be driving it before you know it.

    HD tire hanger help

    I have a Smittybuilt bumper/swing out tire carrier on my YJ. I knew that mounting a 33 would wreck the tailgate hinges. I was concerned with the tire being mounted up too high so I bought the adjustable version. That allowed me to adjust the mount so that the tire almost sits on the bumper...

    I didn't realize it has been sitting for that long since you ran it last. Hopefully that is your issue and with it now being properly cleaned out and new coolant, it will run well so you can use the Jeep and build the other engine in your spare time.

    Please recommend seals to stop hard top water leaks

    I would avoid the Omix-Ada replacements for those corners. I tried them and while they fit into the hardtop pretty well they are thicker than the oem parts were. I saw other complaints regarding this issue as well. I was having a hell of a time getting the hard top to sit properly on the Jeep...

    One half of speaker system not working

    I would be thinking head unit. How do you have it wired? Did you wire in a oem style connector or just taped/butt connectors, etc. You could swap the left to right channel and see if the other side plays? Then you would know the channel is cooked. Or swap in another head unit if you have one...
