    YJ wiring nightmare

    Are these standard bulbs or LED? Have you checked out the flasher relay? What about the grounds as suggested above have you messed with those or replaced them at all? This really sounds like some kind of weird ground issue.

    YJ wiring nightmare

    Chase the wires. The taillight wiring runs under the interior edge of the tub on the driver's side then though a grommet in the back driver's corner of the tub to the driver's side tail light then across the rear crossmember to the other light. Start inspecting from there and see what you...

    YJ wiring nightmare

    As Gila mentioned. Start with your grounds, especially battery to engine and chassis grounds, your battery cables can look good on the outside but will be a tube of solid corrosion on the inside, if you don't know the last time the cables were replaced go ahead and do it. THere are good kits...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    No idea. Given the amount of things painted on this Jeep, it's possible a previous owner painted the dash panel, but I haven't spotted any evidence for that. They could have swapped in a black panel.

    Is this rust a purchase deal breaker?

    Oiled gauze is such a garbage filter medium for what we use these things for. Either way that's quite a bit of rust for 7k.

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    Black dash in mine, the factory seats and belts were grey. The steeringwheel is missing it's cover so I assume it was grey or black. On my XJ the interior is tan and the steering wheel is black. IIRC when I scrounged up my NOS 95 XJ wheel it was around 300.

    Seeking Guidance and Support as a New YJ Owner

    How do you intend to use the YJ? Daily driver, weekend cruiser, off roader, do all things? As far as resources. I know Argentina has/had a really strong history in Jeeps. I know they were building XJs around the same time frame as the YJ. I'm not sure on the current relationship between...

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    Oh damn Rockwall is about 30 mins from me. I may need to swing by. My second 95 XJ wheel is coming apart. They were only put in Xjs for 95 and 96 model year and the spare parts train for that specific part is dried up.

    1994 Hunter Green SE “Back to Stock” Thread

    I've bought a bit of MTS stuff. A fuel tank for my CJ2A and some various HVAC bits and pieces for my 76 CJ5. The parts worked but they weren't exact to factory by any means. The CJ2A tank was a gimme as the original was steel and this was their poly tank, but the HVAC pieces were close but...

    Gearbox oil

    Funny, we mentioned water intrusion. I did a fluid change on the AX5 today, had obvious water contamination. A gallon of Shell 10W30 and she's good to go. Might have been left over water from when I power washed this salvage trans before install.

    Gearbox oil

    Well, I like to think that I'm not a dummy, but I was a Marine for a while and now a firefighter/paramedic. I'm not sure if eating crayons and running into burning houses is too smart. I use those schedules, both severe and "normal" as a baseline and adjust as I see fit or as my oil analysis...

    Gearbox oil

    Factory "B" service schedule, which is the severe duty schedule, calls for an 18k mile change. I do 12,000k on the YJ, and track the CJ2 via operating hours, The CJ2 isn't exactly a daily driver so it gets changed once a year. The XJ has an AW4 in it and I do a 10k change on that one, but the...

    Gearbox oil

    44+ dollars a gallon isn't my idea of affordable, espeically if you have multiple gearboxes that need it. STALUBE used to be my go to when I could get it for 20 or less dollars a gallon. Then one day their price doubled and it's now along the same lines as what you mentioned...

    Gearbox oil

    I use 10W40 usually, in both my AX5 and my old T90 CJ2 transmission. GL4 is getting pricey and harder to find. There are a few tractor gear box fluids that are supposed to be good to go and much cheaper than GL4 gear oil. But 10w40 works as well. I do shorten the change interval a bit just...

    Need Help Reinstalling Rear Driveshaft

    Might be a worn trans mount causing the exhaust to rattle into the belly pan when in reverse. Might just be coincidence that it started when you changed the seal.

    Fuse box questions

    To be sure you need to download the FSM and dig into the wiring diagrams. I'm fairly sure the green wire is the trigger wire for the starter but not positive.
