    Going from a TJ to a YJ

    I’ve got myself a TJ it was my first ride and while I do adore it and it’s gonna hurt to part with it I want the more rugged look and feel of a YJ (I would also really like a manual instead of an auto) I figure a CJ is just a little too basic for me but I wanna know what are the differences I...

    87 YJ has black smoke in the exhaust

    I recently married a woman whose father owned an '87 Wrangler as his off-road transport to his Michigan hunting club near his lakefront cottage. The Jeep sat in a garage for the past ten years since his passing without getting driven much or given any attention. My wife religiously keeps her...

    Looking for steel half doors that a soft top can be mounted to

    I just bought a 94 YJ, Jeep Sahara 4.0. It was advertised that it came with a soft top which was not the case. The Jeep doesn’t even have doors that allow for a soft top to snap in at this point. They are fabric half doors with no attachment capability. I am trying to find steel half doors that...

    I purchased a YJ recently and the guy threw in a set of full doors with the deal. I’ve tried putting them on a YJ and a TJ with no luck. The hinges seem to be misaligned as does the latch. The last person to look at them thought they might be CJ doors, but since I’m a first time Jeep owner, I’m...
