For anyone reading this thread, please do not "pull" any brackets out of they way. The system is designed so that everything can be removed without bending o breaking things. OP, please download a service manual PDF and read it for tasks like removing the transmission pan, your YJ will last much...

Should be able to. I'm only drawing a few amps off a 12V lead, to charge a phone and a few other devices ... nothing more intense than a USB cigarette lighter adapter.

Well, yes and no. I have pulled the ashtray and am adding power ports. This is the set of ports and this is what I'm going to use to mount it. Figuring it out as I go. Power is right there to use so seemed logical.

Love my Tuffy. Get a Tuffy. The thinniest one fit between my seats.

Someone told me many of them come out of the same factory, just with different labels on the box. Any truth to that?

I do. The cupholders are quality steel, the accessory dash bar is aircraft aluminum. Well made. I bet the cupholders will last longer than the Jeep.

Installed the steel cup holders and accessory dash bar (track style for phone and GMRS mic mount, etc) today. I like it. Dog Fox Industries: https://dogfoxindustries.com

Same, I used channel lock pliers to apply proper directional force to seat the linkage in the bushing.

Update, I was able to get the transfer case out and install the SYE. Ended up coming in from the top (removed the shift plate). Easy to get to the top 2 bolts that way. Thanks all!

That's a lot lower than I had thought to drop the Tcase / transmission ... will give it a try. I have a 5 inch ratcheting 9/16 wrench and just picked up some half-moon wrenches too.

Is that a thing I can do without messing up the shift linkage? That seems like it would be worth exploring, I spent 10 minutes looking up into the underside of that boot today ...

How the @#$! do you remove the top driver-side nut from the transfer case? I am all prepped to install my SYE from Tom Woods ... driveshafts out (rear) or disconnected (front), vent hose disconnected, speedo assembly out, vacuum connection removed ... supporting the transmission w/ a jack and...

Where'd you get the drag link ends? What part numbers? I ordered replacement drag link ends and they don't fit my link, the diameter of the threaded shaft was too large. Jeep is looking good!

Was "Envy" because I wanted something to go with the emerald-looking Hunter Green. Now? She's "Rusted Nuts" because (1) she's been living in the Rust Belt since 1994 and EVERY. SINGLE. NUT. is a rusty fight. (b) I'm nuts for all the toys I've bought to remove rusted buts and bolts, and (iii)...

Thanks. I went back to the 5" non-greased bolts. The ones that came with the lift kit and the extended shackles.

Guess I'll go back to grade 8 bolts at 5" long. So I'd be good with a nylock nut, fully engaged (all threads biting) but able to spin the bolt ...? Or skip the nylocks? 100ftlb on the bolts I have with the shackles I have seems to not deforming anything, the steel on those shackles is beefy and...

I tightened to 95 ft lb as per the destructions. The kit on Amazon is the same you can get on Quadratec (etc). Prothane, I think? I also have a Daystar bushing set but it's the same length issue. There aren't a lot of greasable bolt options out there that I could find in a length that works for...

So ... How long should the shackle bolts (and frame bushing bolts) be? I'm looking at the previous shackle bolts and the greasable shackle bushings + bolts I bought to replace them, and the greasable ones seem much shorter. The new ones use nylock nuts, how much thread (if any should be...

I was very very careful and apparently very lucky? :p

I understand. I'm a little defensive as so many people feel RC stuff is junk. I did choose to replace all of the spring bushings with polyurtethane Daystar bushings and greaseable bolts.
