when I spoke to ucf, they told me the bottom of the pan was 1.5" higher but ½" of that was due to it being smooth and it should only raise the trans 1". But I didn't measure before I installed it, so I have no way to verify. Regardless, it's tough as hell.

Guess Im not following. With the 1" motor mount lift, the engine and trans are still at the factory angle, just 1" higher. Drain/fill levels should be unaffected.. Unless I'm missing something?

1" BL, 1" motor mount lift, 1.5" extra clearance skid plate. Everything lines up perfectly. Fan is centered in the shroud, gear shifter back to stock height. I really wanted OME suspension and 33s. So it was body lift or sawzall. The gap doesn't bother me. That flimsy stock gas tank skid...

Can't tummy tuck without a body lift. I guess you could cut the transmission hump out, but 1" body lift is way easier. Stock skid plates suck. period ;-)

Center punch the broken bolt. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Drill as straight as possible and as centered as possible with (about) an ⅛" drill bit, at least ½" into the busted bolt. Once your pilot hole is drilled, use a propane , or map gas torch to heat the broken stud. Once it's glowing a dull read...

Zion is one of my favorite places in the world. Ridiculously beautiful terrain!

Sugar snow shenanigans. Top of 4th of July pass, back down to Wolf lodge. Weird snow, kinda powder but slipperier (sugar snow). Good day I winched out once and acted as a recovery point twice. A beautiful day in the mountains with my wife. The dog loved it too. Pulled this dude out a...

I like my 4.88 gears. I like them with the 31x10.50s, I like them with the 33x12.50s. Still a turd , but it will hold freeway speeds in 5th and climb most mountain passes in 4th. I almost installed 4.56 gears, ultimately glad I went with 4.88s. My little 4 banger Jeep will do 90mph on 31s or 33s...

That's true, but unless you're doing some SERIOUS off roading, it will never matter. How's the ride and handling? Are you in the no track bars camp now?

2023 New Year’s Resolution for Your YJ yep

Because it was free to try, I removed my track bars, just see how it drove, I never reinstalled them, I have noticed almost zero difference in handling, but ride quality got noticeably better. I eventually threw them away. Not saying it's the best answer for everyone, but for the very...

My take: Slotted and drilled rotors are not good if you actually take your jeep offroad. the holes and slots can get packed with mud, dust, crud and crap. all that stuff will end up embedded in your pads, which will in turn, grind into your rotors and cause poor braking and premature brake...

OK, It's gonna snow then get wet and sloppy this weekend, so I wussied out and put the hard top on today. It was fun running around topless for a few days when it was dry & cold, but I'm not about cold wet seats. Hopefully the top comes back off soon. Although I'm happy to have the hard top...

The 1/2 door latches are different than the full door latches. looks like you can get the latch assemblies and handles off ebay. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&_nkw=yj+driver+door+latch&_sacat=0...

It's time to swap back to the hard top for a few weeks, so I scrubbed the soft top clean, dried it off and moved it into the storage unit. ...but its not snowing yet, so the jeep is tarped in the driveway. Gotta drive around topless for a few days before the winter lid gets installed. It's a...

Black Friday sale!! 10k Warn winch for $269! (after rebate) https://www.northridge4x4.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAsIGrBhAAEiwAEzMlC8tMRQDyhV8OhMUvKo7zVw0uHS1nCOjxojDZoyzvPDoMcquE7S1DKRoCNLgQAvD_BwE

I run synthetic and don't miss the old wire rope at all. If you ever got poked by a dirty frayed old winch cable, you know exactly what I mean. The synthetic rope is lighter, safer, it doesn't poke through my gloves and is easily repaired on the trail. The steel cable is theoretically...

I have no useful information, but would like some info and a closer look at that mic hanger mounted to your dash.
