First off this is not a flame the UTV thread. We, or I should say the wife has a Yamaha Rhino 450. Its used for our property, hauling hay, weeds, and fixing fences,. Its LOUD, hot and pretty cramped. Id consider an upgrade to say a newer Ranger or Teryx 2 seater. I know some of you folks have...

Some opinions please. Ive never bought designated mud tires, only AT's for my 4x4's. Winters here are -10 to +20 in the am. Snow or ice on the roads, maybe plowed, maybe not with likely no more than 12" new snow. My needs. The official Firewood gathering vehicle that pulls a 5x10 ute trailer...

Just curious here as Ive read when shifting the T case into N for a flat tow, it also engages the front diff CAD. That being the case if it was shifted into N when the engine was not running I assume it would not engage the CAD/front diff. This is specifically for my 91 YJ, 5 spd. Any good or...

That is how I'll refer to our 2000 Silverado Z71. Bought it a couple years ago with 175K, currently has 190K on it. To date its been new U joints, new transmission, the infamous oil pump pick up tube O ring failure, diesel sounding piston slap and bled down lifter clatter on cold start up after...

Ive read a couple posts referring to the T case hole from pump rub. Never seen or heard of it on a Jeep T case. My Silverado yes. Along those lines if it craters on the road far from home Im curious if a tire patch plug would work enough to keep fluid in long enough to get it back to a shop or...

Can some body measure the factory front seat belt lenght from say the middle of the hold down bolt to the edge of the female receiver end. Thank you!

Nothing but curiosity here. Wife always asks me if somebody handed my a 100K and I had to use it to buy a new vehicle what would I get. To that I respond I really dont know. I gotta say reading thru the forum years there is no doubt IMO the newer the more problem/failure prone they have become...

At this point I wish Id never bought new wheels for my 91. The extra width and offset now sets the tire about 2" out past the flare. Its a muddy, snowy mess here and driving the YJ frankly sucks now as the inside and me gets plastered if the doors, or and I cant imagine the top off. My two...

Headed home from a function last night with the high beams on and after 15 mins of driving the lights all went dead. Hit my aux lighting which is wired separately and off the battery so we wouldn't run off a embankment and within about 15 seconds or so all the lights came back on. I had this...

Im helping out a friend replacing the starter his 91/2.5 YJ. It has a rebuild in it now and it has 1 shim. Im familiar with chevy sm's and being able to see the teeth vs valley depth but dont see how this is gonna happen on a 91. Thoughts on how to verify shim(s) or no shim(s) being necessary?

Seriously,that how much a 22 rebadged Fordrover disco costs these days? Puta!!

This is gonna sound terrible and its not to be taken as a jab as somebody. I venture over to the TJ forum occasionally because I owned one and it broke enough. A recent post asked if "it's OK to park my TJ for a Few days with the rear shocks removed" I was kinda thinking is this real? Then I...

Ok, fire away on my rookie question. Drove in snow in the Sierra for decades and never used chains, never even owned them. Now we're in a place where we'll possibly need to install them on one of our vehicles for the wife to get to town. So...I have cable chains that fit the jeep good and a set...

Starting to feel like were living in BFE here in our neck of the woods. Home Depot or Lowes anywhere in AZ or NM, no can doey. Fridge on the fritz.. maybe by end of year, emergency generator, nope sold out. Water Heater...oh sure....put your name on the list. Neighbor bought some furniture, 4...

Kinda off topic perhaps but I'll put here cause I know we all mod our rigs with different electrics. That being said Ive got a one supplier list of goodies with free shipping now but ant figure out toggle switch ratings. 95% of the companies list switches as "Specifications: 10 A 277 V AC / 20...

I finally dug into my oil and volt gauges to see whats going on. I pulled the cluster twice now, checked,cleaned and tightened things up by tweeking the tabs a bit on the light holders and male harness plug. The oil pressure gauge works now, but when I turn on the headlights the oil pressure...

Since Ive owned my 91 the wipers had to be shut off in just the right spot or they stopped where ever on the windshield you stopped them at. Today the high speed stopped working as well. I think that happened a couple years ago, but I'll be if I can recall how fixed that one. So, just how do the...

Probably should have searched but I figured I ask here cause I know your rigs are mall crawlers. So.....any recommendations on a decent one that wont cost a small fortune. Ive pulled my spare off the tailgate probably 4 times now as the gate is self destruction from the weight. I made a interior...

I'll try to keep this to the point here. So Ive read and myself and experienced abnormally high idle speed after replacing the TPS then the IAC. Not the 3000 rpm+ new install delima I read of, but a 1000+- rpm issue. Here is my question or thoughts The factory IAC is not adjustable. The New...

Guess Im finally getting annoyed with a lazy volt gauge and a semi pegged oil pressure gauge. Ive tested the OP gauge by grounding the sender wire and I get no change,still at 60, not 80 psi. This is with it running or just the key on. The volt gauge varies but typically says far under 12 volts...
