    How bad did I screw up my YJ?

    I don't know where the smoke was coming from. I noticed it when I turned to get on the freeway. I was pulling it behind my truck with a slide in camper so it wasn't visible unless in a turn. The tires were turning but I don't think they were turning very fast. I tried to get into it this...

    How bad did I screw up my YJ?

    That is what my first impression was, transfer case. Of course every other time I made sure that the t-case was in neutral, this time I just took it for granted, usually I start the engine let out the clutch and make sure it doesn't move (not this time though). My biggest concern is why will...

    How bad did I screw up my YJ?

    I was leaving on vacation this morning and flat towing my 95 4.0, 5 speed YJ. I put the transfer case in neutral, trans in 1st, unlocked the steering, break off. It didn't feel quite right so I checked to see if everything was supposed to be. Long story short I got up on the freeway and saw...

    Headlight upgrade

    Thanks guys for the input. Here is my problem, I am not in the least bit mechanically inclined, but I try, (screw up mostly). My last attempt was to get bigger tires which ended up with a new rear bumper (swing out tire carrier) and then a 2 1/2" lift which led to wheel spacers (the YJ looks...

    Centering yj steering wheel

    I came across this and would like to have a question answered. I had a lift installed and my steering wheel is also not centered. Where Is the draglink located and how difficult is it to adjust?

    Any thoughts on this Tuff Design bumper?

    Hey Preston, you're more than welcome to use my YJ. I live in South Cali. That way the front bumper will match the great rear bumper I got from ya'll a couple of months ago. The only problem (if you can call it a problem) that I have had with the bumper/carrier is, I now have a 3 1/2 inch...

    towing a YJ

    Sorry about being vague. I knew perfectly well what I was thinking ( I just forgot to put it in words) I'm flat towing. I have towed it for several hundred miles on a couple of trips with a motor home but now I have a truck and camper. Its just that when you need to break, it feels like...

    Any thoughts on this Tuff Design bumper?

    XT Master I sure hope these work as I said I am not computer savy. The bumper is made in Wis. by a tube fabrication company. I went on their web site and they make all kinds of things to your specs. This bumper is heavy, heavy duty. I am now looking into lift, shocks, leaf springs etc. The...

    Total Dummy YJ Question, re: Tires

    I just put 31's on my 95 YJ, kept the stock 15" wheels, and noticed when turning I get rub. Should I get spacers for both the front and back or just for the front? Just front will stop the rub but will they stick out further that the rear and heaven for bid look funny?

    towing a YJ

    I have a 95 YJ that I have towed in the past behind my motor home. I now have a 1 ton Dodge dually with a slide in camper. When I towed the Jeep before, I knew it was back there and thought about getting a breaking system for it. Now with the new rig I'm thinking I really have to get some...

    Any thoughts on this Tuff Design bumper?

    I installed one on my 95 YJ last night. It is one heavy piece of metal. Also installed the rack with it. I am not mechanically inclined in the least. It took about 5 hours to get on, install a couple of pieces remove same and reinstall correctly. I am very pleased with the workmanship and...

    Hardtop Shocks

    I would love to send you a picture but I'm not that good yet. On my 95 looking through the window (standing to the rear of the vehicle) the tube is on top with the chrome rod on the bottom. Hope this helps.
