    New YJ owner - basic maintenance question

    My 2¢: I have an LJ with a lift on 33x12’s and it’s awesome. It’s my mountain trail machine. But when I got the YJ I wanted a fun street machine, so it is pretty different from the LJ. It is on the 2.5” lift it came with, and I gave it 30x9.5 Yokohama Geolandars, which have a mild AT tread...

    Photo of stock rear driveshaft and angle (stock height)

    Dos you put an angle finger on it? It looks steep to me too. Maybe someone did a tummy tuck when you weren’t looking? Seriously though, is your driveshaft stock length? It looks like it’s pulling out your slip yoke more than Sunsport’s.

    Help with windshield frame hinges

    I was able to get fairly good access to those driver side bolts by removing the speedometer. Didn’t have to remove the dash although the speaker magnet grabbed the wrench a dozen times and the nuts half that.

    Stumped by Windshield wash motor electrical

    There are two pumps; neither run. I know which is front and rear based on the wire colors. The tubing could be switched but I don’t think that matters at this point since neither pump energizes. I suspect the Intermittent module, since everything else in the wiring diagram works, and that...

    Stumped by Windshield wash motor electrical

    I'm trying to solve another minor electrical issue which has me stumped (doesn't take much). The windshield wash spray motor has not worked since I got the Jeep. I'm confused because I'm reading 11+ volts to the connector contacts when the switch on the stalk is depressed, but it won't run...

    4.0 exhaust header replacement

    I replaced my entire exhaust about a year ago. The manifold was cracked all over. I went the cheap route. I wanted a cheap, bolt-on option I could do myself since I don’t weld. I got a complete kit from rockauto, Walker brand I think. It’s been fine; I think I might have a few minor leaks...

    Need advice on YJ that caught my eye

    It’s not your job to help this seller break even. If he made an expensive mistake he could be trying to pass the loss onto you. it all sounds shady to me. Just tell him you’re buying the tub and the frame to justify your low offer. Good luck with your search; as you say, there are other jeeps...

    Need advice on YJ that caught my eye

    Stick to your budget. Assume the worst; lower your offer by the cost of a transmission rebuild.

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    They fit fine. They looked cheap and flimsy so I saved the original ones, but installed them with the new ones without problems.

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    Note the curved hemostat clamp in the photo of new and old exteriot handles; it made it possible to remove and replace the door keepers without removing the window glass as instructed in the FSM. I gave the inside of the door a good cleaning from 20+ years of dust and leaves, made sure the...

    '95 Sahara, 1st YJ

    I’ve been refinishing some sad faded trim pieces to give the jeep a newer/restored look. SEM Trim Black gives a nice even durable finish; their rep told me it’s a few shades lighter than true black which can look odd. Wiper arms, hood cowl vent, OEM mirrors before/after:

    Should I get a hard top or a soft top?

    Did you get the frame hardware from Rampage, or just the fabric/windows? I’m trying to understand the two hardware types and if one is superior to the other. Yours looks like the kind with the angled sliding lock bar by the sode windows.

    Should I get a hard top or a soft top?

    Tell me more about this part please? My garage has a high ceiling so I thought maybe a hard top with hoist would be fairly quick to install/remove, and use a SpiderWebShade on nice days. I have the soft top on the LJ and I like to run it without side or rear windows, and put the top up or down...

    Should I get a hard top or a soft top?

    I have been using the bikini top that came with the jeep, but I’m considering getting a real top in case I decide to take it on the trails. I assumed i’d get a soft top because the top-down experience is to me one of the most essential parts of Jeep ownership. But the YJ soft top hardware...

    Help with windshield frame hinges

    The speaker magnet on the passenger side kept grabbing my wrench but i eventually got them threaded; the driver side looks impossible unless you have big hole in the dash where a speaker used to be.

    Help with windshield frame hinges

    That’s what I figured. I just had the dash apart recently; at least it’s fresh in my mind, and I don’t have to remove it completely anyway.
