    YJ Shackle lift problems!!!!!!!!!

    NOW get out that sawsall. I broke mine loose by muscling them around for 4 hours with a pipe on a breaking bar. It will be easier to cut between the mounting ears and the rubber bushing on each side of the spring IF you have new bolts. This will be the worst part of the entire job. If you can...

    Vacation in Colorado

    I'm out about 3 times a year (daughter and family live in Berthoud). You didn't say where you were staying but Boulder has a lot of nice restaurants, bars and places to visit. Boulder is an upscale young town. Everybody goes to Pearl Street for shops. Estes Park (town) is pretty much closed up...

    Differential Questions

    If you use any of the top synthetic 75-90 lubes (Mobil1, Royal Purple, Red Line....) the additive is included. I think out of all of the times I've replaced that cover gasket they've leaked 1/2 of the times.

    body lift problem

    I broke one and spun the nut plates on 2 others. Soak the nut plates good with PB Blaster, or whatever, for a week or two. You'll need to drill a small hole either through the channel underneith or from above through the floor to hit the nut plates. When you go to remove them, try turning...

    YJ Shackle lift problems!!!!!!!!!

    What about your e-brake cables or brake lines? Is it binding at the spring eyes? Just be careful. You don't want to loose fingers.

    On-board air for filling tires

    You can get a York at any junk yard and by the bracket and belt from one of the compressor suppliers to save money. http://www.onboardair.com/ http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/jeep/york_id.html I wish I had ODA. What a waste of time to air up at a gas station, worse if you have about 6 guys airing...

    YJ Shackle lift problems!!!!!!!!!

    Remember those puzzles of chrome wire? You twist them just right to pull them apart, welp, that's what you've got. Remove the OUTSIDE shackle plate first then remove both of the OUTSIDE rubber bushings. Now, just pull the shackle towards the tank (with the 2 bushings as a unit) and back towards...

    Cepek Lift?

    RE: YJ Shackle lift problems!!!!!!!!! I think Cepek is the old Black Diamond lift. BDS is a nice lift. You get about 3" out of a 2" or 2-1/2" after you flex it around for awhile.

    Bestop YJ flares (ritt, jules)

    Re: RE: Steering box, comment & question. I've heard of this with a "paint remover gun" but you will have to be careful and I don't know how long it will last. I think paint is still easy and fast with proper prep.

    Carburated ford 302 in a yj?

    Junkpile - just saw this 2A for ya First it will depend on what your state laws are. usually, as in CT, the engine needs to be the same year or newer for starters. That is a nice light engine to swap in. You would have to contact the adapter kit manufactures for everything else. It's not cheap.

    This is in CO as well as where mine came from. It already has the Buick V-6 but maybe worth checking on. :wink: http://www1.budgethostingweb.com/accounts/cj2a/wwwboard/13271.html Let me know,

    Bestop YJ flares (ritt, jules)

    RE: New Member... Sorry, TC, just saw your question. I do like them and had them since they first came out by Bestop. However, they do turn that light gray after about 6 months AND they pulled away from the mounting about an 1/8 of an inch for some reason. I preped and painted them with a...
