    Trac Bars

    No track bars but I did keep the sway bar and added quick connect/disconnects.

    Sanity Check - YJ Ownership Cost

    Chris is right, you get what you pay for. I traded a motorcycle that had a value of $10,000 dollars (even trade) for a YJ that the previous owner was selling for $11,000 dollars. The YJ was well maintained and mostly already built the way that I wanted. That was five years ago and its been...

    89 YJ 2.5 Fel Pro oil pan gasket

    Same here. When I purchased my YJ four years ago, one of the first things I did was change all the fluids and fixed a valve cover leak with the Blue Fel-Pro, it's been fine ever since.

    Full body mount kit recommendations for 95 YJ

    I don't recommend body lifts. Suspension lifts are the way to go, and this is why.

    Should every YJ owner have a hardtop?

    For that price I'd probably grab it too, even thou I wouldn't use it. But I'd have no room for it in my garage, so I wouldn't know what to do with it. You'll never get one in good condition for that price. And if you have to move and can't take it with you, you can sell it and double your money...

    Should every YJ owner have a hardtop?

    The Bestop soft top is the longest lasting top on the market, so if you get one, thats the one to get. I live in Florida (Tampa Bay area), and I took the Bestop soft top enclosure off five years ago the first day I got it home and it's never been back on. I run with a Bikini top and half doors...

    Hard shift into reverse and 1st gear

    When I first got my YJ it did the same thing, it would grind going into 1st and reverse. I replaced the fluid with Redline MT-90 and its been grind free and smooth as butter ever since, that was four years ago.

    Notchy Gear Box

    Definitely change the fluid out with Redline MT-90 if it hasn't been changed. When I first got my YJ it wasn't shifting very smoothly and would grind going into 1st and reverse. Changed it out with MT-90 and its been smooth shifting and grind free ever since, that was four years ago.

    Lockless half doors

    Both Quadratec and Amazon sell them with the locks and the description on both sites state that they are compatible with Jeep Wrangler YJ 1987-1995, and TJ's 1997-2006. I think for 12 bucks each, I'd buy one and give it a try. Not that it has anything to do with what you're doing, but my 93...

    I use Valvoline VR-1 10W-30 motor oil and for the rest I use this.

    YJ Manual Transmission Question

    Whenever I buy a used vehicle (especially an old one like these YJ's), one of the first things I do is to change out all the fluids and filters. When I first got my YJ it would grind going into 1st and reverse, and wasn't very smooth shifting. I changed out the tranny fluid to Redline MT-90 and...

    Do I have a lift?

    Looks close to a 4" lift to me too. This is mine with a 4" lift on 33's, the spring arch and fender clearance look close to what I have.

    Wheel size

    I have 33 x 12.5 on 15" Pro Comp offset wheels with a 4" lift without any issues. But, for any serious off roading you'll need 4" of lift.

    PCM from working Jeep not working in other Jeep

    It could have gone bad just sitting for four years, was the YJ sitting indoor or outdoor?

    Is this rust a purchase deal breaker?

    With that much exterior frame rust, I'd be concerned because these frames tend to rust from the inside out. Looks like drivers side looks pretty good, its usually the passenger side (right) behind the rear wheel where the frame goes bad. Water and mud gets trapped inside the frame. With that...

    1993 Center Console Replacement

    Not a good pic, but I also have one of the Tuffy's. Its heavy duty steel with a key lock and fits perfectly between the seats.
