    Bench Seat Swap in YJ

    Update... I found the seats from a 2001 Ford Ranger. Cost me $100. I’m just beginning the process of grinding the Ford risers off the sliders. I’ll post updates here just because I haven’t been able to find a step by step illustration. If anybody has any tips, I’m all ears. Sent from my...

    Bench Seat Swap in YJ

    After a bit of research, I’ve decided to do the Ranger 60/40 bench swap. I’m looking everywhere for some seats in the 98-02 range, preferably with the cup holder in the armrest. I’ve checked every junkyard around. Before I buy on EBay, thought I’d check here and see if anybody happened to have a...

    Softening the ride in my YJ?

    I’m sure this will get some eye roll, but here goes. My wife doesn’t enjoy riding in the Jeep. I’m guessing I have about a 3” lift on 33’s. Was all done when I bought it. Has skyjacker shocks. I don’t have bottomless pockets, but wouldn’t be against replacing springs and shocks. Are there...

    Jeep just decided to not start...

    90 YJ 4.2L. Went out this morning to jump in the Jeep, parked outside last night with no top. Not sure why that would matter, just trying to give as much info as possible. Temps in upper 40s, average moisture for a Georgia spring morning... Radio comes on, lights work, heater fan blows, etc...

    Radiator Advice?

    Wow, man that’s an amazing offer. Thanks a lot, but it now appears my leak is coming from the water pump. Based on the amount of spray I thought for sure it was the radiator. After everything was cool I filled the radiator with water and had a good stream running off the hose from the water...

    Radiator Advice?

    Had to put front and rear seal replacement on hold as I appear to have popped a radiator yesterday... will pressure test to confirm, but based on loss of coolant and initial inspection of hoses, pretty sure the plastic top cracked. It’s a ‘90 YJ with 6 cyl. 180k miles. I plan to keep it for...

    Front and Rear Seals and Oil Pan Gasket Replacement

    I have an oil leak dripping off the front transmission housing and rear of oil pan. I also have basically a wet bottom front of the engine, dripping/slinging onto everything. This screams front and rear seals, correct? Any idea what I can expect to pay to have both replaced? How big of a...

    Transfer Case Seal Leak

    I noticed my undercarriage was wet behind the transfer case, slung onto muffler, etc and decided it was coming from the rear seal on the transfer case. Completed the change yesterday and woke up this morning to this (see pic). There’s a small are underneath from a few drips overnight. Any idea...

    Differential Oil Change

    Changing out front and rear diff oil tomorrow... while the I’m doing it, should I go ahead and change the pinion seals? I don’t see any sign of leaking, just wonder if it makes sense while the oil is all drained out? Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    90 YJ with 6 cyl... installed new carb and fuel pressure regulator. Mechanical fuel pump was replaced with an electric one by PO. Two days after new carb, Jeep sputtered at speed and eventually died on side of highway. No gas coming through fuel line to carb, tank half full of gas. Thinking...

    Steering Column wobble

    First project in my ‘90 YJ. Tilt, manual. Column is loose and needs repair. Should I disassemble and try to repair it just pay $300 for a used one and do a complete change? There’s no play in steering, just a loose column. Thanks- Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
