Back to it.............. I still wanted to replace the core plugs at the back of the block, especially after seeing how rusted the 5 were on the side. You can reach the two at the back of the block but the one at the back of the cylinder head is pretty much impossible as it's too close to the...

Yeah, I have actually had the Jeep on the road for the past 9 days now. Put a plate on it and took it for it's shakedown run on the 18th. I had not intended to do a build thread when I picked it up as I found this forum just afterward but I did take some pics along the way. I thought it would be...

I appreciate it. Your info on the manual swap was very helpful and made wiring up the pigtail a breeze. Not to mention other info you have helped me with, I do appreciate it. I had another AX15 here from the old 91 but it didn't shift the greatest and was probably not in the best shape. I...

Yeah man, thanks. Always wanted a Sahara and was stoked to finally get one. I actually ordered the graphics from Phoenix a few days back. It's funny, I never cared for pin stripes on cars. The PO removed them from this Jeep and for some reason, I want to put them back on. Plus the Sahara logos...

With all of the engine accessories removed, I started to remove the drivetrain. I had already gathered all the parts to do the AX15 swap, so next up was removing the 32RH and the corresponding brackets that hold the auto column shift linkage from the block and tub. While I had the...

The Jeep only has 61k on it and the engine was running and sounded pretty good but was leaking oil all over. I started to go through the engine, the valve cover bolts were all finger loose and two were missing in the back. This whole thing turned into "while you are in there" pretty fast. I had...

Thanks, it's coming along for sure. I always love the Sahara trims. That would be awesome being the original owner of a 1995, you know everything it's ever done.

First thing I wanted to tackle was getting the axles swapped between the Jeeps. I knew the rear diff spider gears had been welded on the 95 and the front Dana 30 and been rigged to have it permanently locked. The axles under my old 91 were in decent shape and would work for the immediate future...

I trailered my new Sahara to the house and began going through it. With the amount of dirt and mud crammed all throughout the frame, tub and engine I figured I'd try to get rid of most of it before getting it apart in the garage. I yanked the soft top (that I won't be using anyway) and pulled it...

So, a little back story...........this is technically my 2nd YJ that I have owned. The first being a 1991 S 4.0 that although I thought I had researched plenty before diving in, I wound up making an emotional purchase and that was certainly an expensive lesson. After A few years and deciding...

I am looking at this option myself. I purchased a Banks revolver about 3 years ago for my old 91 YJ but it wound up staying in the box. I just installed it on my 95 Sahara that I have been rebuilding so I cannot comment on longevity but I do like the idea of a flex pipe, like all the FWD cars I...

Yeah that is a solid point. If it's such an easy fix, why not take the effort to fix it and then sell it at a higher price. The truth is that beyond the fire, it's probably hiding a host of other problems.

Chasing electrical gremlins can be the worst, especially after a fire. As others mentioned, if you wind up purchasing it, I would pick up another harness and swap out the entire thing. To my knowledge, Painless does not make a kit for the fuel injected YJ, only up to 1990. Looks like that YJ is...

Are you still looking for this part? I thought I had tossed them but I came across one of them today that was hidden above some other parts in the garage.

I might still have a couple of extra air boxes, one was cracked. I may have tossed them I can't remember. I will dig through my parts pile and see if it's still there. If it is, id be happy to toss it in the mail.

Nice work. That white pearl is a nice color and makes for a great looking Islander.

Yeah, I will make sure it's wired up well. I was wondering if it mattered on the reverse lights, thank you for confirming.

I was looking at the other thread where you were discussing the wiring needed to ground the starter relay and setup the reverse lights, etc. For the brown/yellow starter wire, instead of running it to the black/orange Z2 wire, I was planning to run it up through the firewall and into the cab to...

I've had good luck with LUK on other vehicles. I have purchased the LUK combo that Macho mentioned above along with the mopar throwout bearing. Have not installed them yet but that is what I am going with.

Out with the old............
