We took the 1995 YJ, 6 cyl. 5 spd, out this weekend for the first time on the trails of Barnwell Mountain and managed to break the left rear spring at the rear shackle. After looking at the broken spring my wife said “We need to make it bigger and badder!”. What can I say to that other than the fact that that’s one of the many reasons I married her 43 years ago! So, I’ve been given permission to spend.
This Jeep has a 1 1/2 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift, drop Pitman arm, and a transmission/transfer case drop of about 1 inch with a SYE. We put in a reman. long block and had a trans. rebuild about 1K miles ago.
We use the Jeep as a second means of transportation behind our RV, but we want to do mild to medium trail runs on some of our outings.
So, my question is, what would you do to get this old girl (the Jeep, not my wife) trail ready without breaking the retirement bank?
Thanks in advance for your responses!
