    1990 YJ won't go over 2000 RPM after having new tires put on

    I have a 1990 Jeep Wrangler 6 cylinder that has been converted to fuel injected. When I bought it I drove it home from a few states away no problems. It revs up perfectly in neutral with no issues but while in drive I can’t get it to go over 2000 rpm’s all of a sudden after picking it up after...

    Jeep wrangler revs but won't go anywhere hardly

    So I have a 1990 Jeep Wrangler Automatic 6 cylinder. I just had some new tires put on (31" before I put the 2.5" lift kit on) and while driving it home from the shop it started to leak transmission fluid onto the exhaust causing it to smoke really bad and it felt like I didn't have 3rd gear...

    $50 finder fee if found!

    I am looking for these rims or something very similar. I am looking for a 17" classic steel rim 5 lug x 4.5. Rim width needs to be between 7 and 7.5" I prefer the wider rim as I don't want a deep dish look on my tires for this one. I would actually prefer them to be as flush to the tire...

    Question

    I apologize in advance if this is a no brainer question but if I go with 15" or 17" rims how does that affect the ride of the jeep? I am assuming the 33" tires are going to be the same height off the ground regardless right? If so would you rather have the more or less of the tire for a better...

    Is there supposed to be a seal around the 4wd shifter?

    My 1990 automatic 4.2 wrangler blows hot air from around the 4wd shifter. Is there a seal that is supposed to be there so that doesn't occur? If so whats the actual part so I can buy it. I've had a couple of other YJ's and I don't remember having that be an issue before.

    How hard to replace transfer case with a remanufactured one?

    I have a 1995 4.0 manual that needs the transfer case completely replaced. How hard of a job is that to do if I have the replacement transfer case? I've dropped the fuel tank on a jeep before and replaced the fuel pump module, is it easier or harder to do than something like that?
