    Yj or not

    For me, what it looks like is what is. A Monster Truck YJ would still be a YJ. I was building a radical, air sprung '43 GWP, but it was still a military Jeep to me.

    Engine shuts off after running for a while

    In full disclosure I'm not completely familiar with the YJ platform. But, I have read quite a bit about failing Crank Position Sensors (CPS) acting in this way.

    Is this bad?

    Probably be a good idea to have All your gear train serviced. Transmission, Transfer case, U joints and the Differentials. By the looks of it, it's probably never been done, they often neglected.

    Fan Clutch And Cooling Issues

    The meet, greet, ride is an AWSOME idea! It would take a lot of planning and leg work, but I love the idea. I'm going to look into the logistics and see just how practical that might be, maybe we can get something going. I am an old clubber myself and they were some of the best days of my life...

    What did you do to your YJ today / lately?

    That looks really Nice! Mikey Likey! That's kind of what I had in mind, pre-console.

    What did you do to your YJ today / lately?

    I'm hip brother, that's why the console worked out so well for my purposes. I understand keeping the jack, but I knew I'd be running a Hi-Lift regardless. I've worn out Hi-Lift jacks and the factory jack just had no place on mine. You are right, there is just no place to put anything in these...

    What did you do to your YJ today / lately?

    Well you've seen how I did my acc wiring panel under the hood, but that did also involve building a harness and tossing the old jack. The beauty of it was I only had to cut one wire in the factory harness, but that was just to install a resistor for low beams. The LED headlights are ridiculously...

    What did you do to your YJ today / lately?

    There is a tap on the fuse panel under the dash for an ignition hot if you need one for the relays. At least there is on mine, though it is not hot while it's cranking, only when running. I'll try to get a pic next time I see the Joop. Just FYI.

    What did you do to your YJ today / lately?

    Nice! I hear you on the rust, bro. I can see those switches in their proper places, and nicely lit :) Should work very well!

    Engine rebuild first timer

    Have you considered a long block remanufactured motor? I know they are more more money, but much faster and you get a warranty.

    What did you do to your YJ today / lately?

    I had the same observation, but I figured you just quick tossed it for a pic, Also curious about your winch choice.

    What’s this go to

    Just what I was thinking, though I don't have mine handy to look at. Given the routing from the harness and the direction it's going, it's something for the CAD. EDIT : Macho is probably right, the vent for the vac switch makes sense, as does your pic from the manual.

    Fan Clutch And Cooling Issues

    That's awesome! Have great time! I'm looking forward to more "camp fire Jeeping" instead of the usual troubles. At least among those of us regulars. Things like, you wouldn't believe where I took the Jeep weekend. My new locker is awesome, This winch is great, other adventures, etc. Not that...

    What are you all listening to?

    What are you all listening to?

    I love the '50s instrumental stuff, but I'm an Old Guy. Grew up listening to '70s & '80s pop, but these days I pretty much just listen to AM talk radio. Do still occasionally enjoy some good Metal, though. Metallica, Nightwish, White Zombie, etc.
