    Looks pretty close!

    Photo of stock rear driveshaft and angle (stock height)

    Here is the driveshaft on mine which is all stock height. Much less angle. My YJ still has the original springs which are close to flat. Included a picture of one for reference.

    Photo of stock rear driveshaft and angle (stock height)

    I can take a picture soon. I don't feel like mine is that much of an angle. I'm on vacation in the Dominican but will snap a picture when I get home (early next week). If I forget, tag me in a post so I remember.

    Anyone Downsize Tires For Better Performance?

    Also didn't realize it was on small tires. Sounded like it was on large ones. Something else is up.

    Anyone Downsize Tires For Better Performance?

    That was certainly my experience. Big tires have a lot of rotational mass and changing the center of gravity does effect handling.

    Help Identifying: What is this YJ rear frame bracket / shield called?

    Interesting twist - mine never had one. Researching it now that I knew what it was for, only 91 and up has them. Mine's an 89. Guess it was never missing. Again - thanks for the help/info.

    Help Identifying: What is this YJ rear frame bracket / shield called?

    Thanks. I can see that if you use it on that type of terrain. I do not - pavement or beach princess and restored back to pretty much stock form.

    Help Identifying: What is this YJ rear frame bracket / shield called?

    Thanks folks! I thought mine was missing because at one point, a previous owner installed a body lift and made the cable routing too tight (still possible), but nothing else was there on mine other than the ebrake cable. Mine has the Mopar MPFI kit installed though so the filter is in a...

    Help Identifying: What is this YJ rear frame bracket / shield called?

    Does anyone know what this bracket/shield on the left side rear frame is called? It looks like the emergency brake passes through it and it just bolts to the frame near the rear bump stop. It is missing on my YJ and I'd like to replace it, but not sure what I'm searching for in order to find...

    Should I buy this YJ?

    If you really want a YJ, you can find a much nicer one and maybe trade but if not, Toyota trucks (Rebuilt title or not) are always marketable. I wouldn't touch the one you posted for $500. I'm not even sure id want it in my driveway for free.

    Anyone Downsize Tires For Better Performance?

    I can't say enough good things about the Bilstein HD B6s. They really made a difference over the stock shocks (which were still functioning correctly). The ride is much more controlled - far easier to drink a coffee even under bumpy circumstances - they seem to pair really well with the stock...

    Anyone Downsize Tires For Better Performance?

    My current profile picture is with the 235s and yup, the offset of the TJ Alcoas is perfect - fully under the flairs. Mine are the 15 inch version from a Rocky Mountain Edition. There was also a 16 inch version from the Tomb Raider models. For reference - 1st picture is when I bought it and it...

    Anyone Downsize Tires For Better Performance?

    When I bought my 89 (4.2), it was manual steering with 32 inch tires and a body lift. Stock gearing. Within the first 5 minutes of driving it, I knew these mods were not for me. I swapped out the tires for 235/75/15 and am running them on TJ Alcoa wheels. I can't emphasize how much better it was...

    Does the YJ Deserve a Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame?

    Lots of YJs in the Walking Dead franchise across multiple different series/seasons. Also a YJ was the base for Rover 1 in The 100. Can't forget Back to the Future, and also there was a YJ Renegade in a movie called Silk Stockings.

    New member 95 YJ Rio Grande

    Good on you for tackling that - pretty ripe! I wonder about the integrity of the rest of the frame or even if a replacement frame wouldn't have been easier?

    Need front seats for 94 YJ

    I wanted to keep the interior of my YJ original so I tracked down used original seats. Took awhile, but was worth it!

    1994 YJ Sport SE in Hunter Green

    I think your post talked you out of a sale - if he was thinking about selling them, after reading your post, he'd be keeping them :p

    New to me YJ and have questions

    That looks to be a pretty original Sahara on the outside? If it is clean and the Sahara interior is in good shape too, you might want to freshen it up, put the drivetrain in it, and keep it that way or list it on bring a trailer and pick up something else to beat in the woods if that is the...
