    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...

    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...

    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

    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

    This Jeep, This Engine???

    94 with body that clearly shows it came with a 6 cyl, but pic of the Engine by seller shows a 4 cyl. Why would you put a 4 in an original 6? Does this kill resale value? That IS a 4 cyl Engine, isn’t it?? Thanks for all the help. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
