    Trying to figure out how to remove the cigarette lighter assembly

    Has anyone removed the “cigar” lighter? I’ve been trying to figure it out. Don’t want to break the housIng. And … you need to be a midget or a contortionist to get to the wiring and fuse box. My 93 has the aftermarket A/C so it blocks some access. But even without that, the fuse box is...

    Winch bumper

    Over the next month or so I’m looking at installing a winch. I’m curious what y'all currently run. I definitely want something solid and I am not a fan of the stinger models. I thought stubby but it doesn’t matter. My running is mostly beach and sand, not rocks and trees etc.

    Gas Fumes

    Filled the tank last night and this morning the garage has serious gas fumes. When i bought the jeep a few days ago it had 1/2 a tank and no fumes. So I’m thinking that there is a bad cap or there must be a vent line of some sort. Reading indicated a vent line to a filter and it seem that...

    New member from Texas here. Bought a 1993 YJ and brought it home tonight. Needs a few things but by and large it’s in good shape. Will probably lean on a few folks for advice/recommendations over time. Luckily one of my neighbors has a 94 and will help me out. This will be my 4th jeep. The...
