Hi, glad to hear that you're about to step up to Jeep! I have a "95 YJ 2.5L w/5 speed and I love it!!!!! I The little four banger is tough as nails. It won't run 80 mph on the interstate but, that's not what I bought it for. It has all the torque it needs for the trail and gets pretty good...

I don't know how this thing will work out, for getting my YJ out of jam but, I just ordered a MasterLock brand portable 12volt winch. At less than $65 (including shipping) I felt it was a good investment, even if I only use it to save my back frome time, to time! Anybody else have any...

Well, that settles it! Supertop it is! I was leaning that way, anyway. The Supertop is cheaper, to boot.

I'm going to bite the bullet and get a new top. So, which one will be the easiest to put up and down?

I really appreciate the info. I think I'll do some more research, pick up a used 2.5, and build it to the maximum specs. I think you're right about the gear ratio, though. It's just not going to be a highway machine. But hey, if I wanted speed I'd build a '71 RT Charger! Thanks!

Mee-freakin'-yow!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard (somewhere) that 2.5's can be bored out and, with a cam, can be quite remarkable. Just can't remember where I heard/read that.

I want more power. I don't want to stop driving my '95 YJ to do the rebuild. What I want to know is... 1. Where can I buy a quality performance 2.5 crate motor? 2. What mods are necessary to get maximum performance out of a 2.5 if I decide to buy a used one, and do it myself? All input is...

Thanks for all the info. guys! I'll let ya'll know how it all pans out.

O.K. So... Even though it's a pain, the top does work like a convertable car top? Which one? If both work, I want the one that works with the half doors and square cornered door tops. Any help?

I'm really sorry to hear that, Heminut! I'll be praying for you as well. As for the top, I have both the full and half doors. The half door tops have square corners. A friend gave me a top with the composite (rounded) mouldings. I think it's the same as the one in Kevin's link. Problem is...

Can I get a convertable top for my '95 YJ? I mean the one that folds down. I have a hard top and want the versatility for summer driving.

Well, let's just wrap this deal up then! Give me those numbers and I can go ahead and order that winch ; - )

Saaawweeeet!!!! That looks great! I've got a while before I can devote any more money on the Jeep but, I will probably be looking at a Superwinch. For now I've got to focus on a cruise for my son's graduation, a Jeep for my daughter, and kitchen renovation for the Wifey.

I was talking about the seat only, not the frame. Those are definately different!
