    How much should I ask for a 90 YJ with a blown engine?

    Looking to possible sell my 1990 yj. Frame Is great and body is pretty good w only one area that needs repair (it’s been fiberglassed but could use welding). Problem is engine I believe is blown. Rod knock or spun bearing from what I can tell. No clue what to ask for it. I’m gonna lose money off...

    Anyone know of a good jeep mechanic who can work on a non computerized jeep within 50 miles of the rochester ny area?

    Title says it all. My yj is having engine troubles annd that’s beyond me. I might have bitten off more than I can chew. I love her and I can do basics but I think I either need help OR quite possibly need to sell her to someone who can fix her up how she deserves. Anyone?

    MC 2100 swap question

    Simple question. I’m in the middle of bbd to mc 2100 switch. Like literally. Got bbd off. Mc2100 ready to go on. But I can’t get bolts out that bbd threads onto. Also there is a black plastic spacer that seems to be on there pretty good (so long as the bolts are on. I assume that comes out and...

    Hei distributor

    So I’m about to put an hei distributor in from crt. I think I’m ready except for one thing. I know nothing about electrical. I can follow simple directions so I can kill the power and hook up a light in my home. But but without basic instructions I don’t know anything. Literally. But I know the...

    Bedlined my new to me YJ

    Totally not handy or mechanically adept. Pretty much zero mechanical experience except I have tinkered with an old Johnson 2hp outboard (meaning I watched YouTube and rebuilt a carb and replaced head gasket by watching someone else). Hoping to learn how to work on the yj but I’ll likely need...

    Horn question

    So I’m the proud new owner of a sweet 1990 YJ 4.2 V6. Just got it this week and I have to pass inspection in NYS. Horn wasn’t working. Looked under hood and saw it was unplugged. Plugged in and horn went off constant. So I pulled horn off and there’s no spring. That seems like an easy purchase...
