Hey guys, almost 6 years after selling my first jeep (95YJ, loved it...what a huge mistake to let it go), I have finally acquired another one. Just purchased a 98TJ last weekend and could not be more thrilled to be once again a jeep owner. Playing with this new toy this week has been awesome...

I haven't been on jeepz in a while now so this comes as quite a shock to me. Jhiggins was such a nice guy...he helped me out with many of my jeep questions and problems. He is indeed sorely missed :(

Heh, when after parking somewhere for an extended period of time you find cans or cups meticulously placed under your big tires so that you will run over them when you leave.

1043568 Man I love my on board air system...I got a pressure switch the other day from an electrical supply place. It goes on at 80psi and off at 100psi. I would have gone higher but I figured well....my tank is only rated at 125 and most air tools are like 90 psi so I might as well not push...

1043574 Hey man is that top and doors for a YJ by any chance? If so what color are they? I am quite interested in obtaining a hard top and doors for my white '95 YJ Rio Grande. Post back or send me an email Jaws1932 (the at symbol) netscape dot net[addsig]

1043620 I have a white 95' YJ Rio Grande with a 4" Suspension Lift from Skyjacker, 31"x10.5 BF Goodrich Liberators, on board air with a York Compressor and 7 gal tank, 4 banger and AX-5 (soon to be replaced with something more powerful, Im thinking maybe a 350 (I have one on hand that I got...

1043621 Hey guys I am also a bit new to this forum but Its really cool and has lots of useful info. Anyway I am in northeast New Mexico (Clovis) and I just started building my jeep...gonna take it on some badass trails on the caprock (near San Jon) where my uncle owns a huge ranch. Anyone...

1043635 Good idea, I may just go with the drop for now since I won't have to worry about the linkages and stuff. Tell me one thing though, is it wise to make your own? I've heard you can make them out of some pipe that is just larger than the bolts and some longer bolts and washers. Call me...

1043647 Well I just got done lowering the case today and man did it ever make a huge difference!!! I guess I didn't realize just how bad the vibration was. I did go ahead and make my own...I bought some longer bolts from the hardware store as well as washers and six 1/2 x 1" long pipe...

1043648 Yeah man I know what your talking about! Its usually the worst when your sitting still huh? My buddy has a 95 YJ like mine but its auto and stock and he had the same prob. What it is is the muffler support arm gets loose and comes down causing your catylytic converter to bang against...

1043650 Well If it is the high pressure hose then where is the leak coming from. Is it where the rubber meets the hard line or where it screws into the pump? If its where the hard line screws into the pump you could just unscrew it and put some teflon tape on the fitting. Otherwise you may...

1044011 HOLY &%^$ !!!! Dude you are getting screwed on that deal!!! I went to Auto-Zone and picked up a remanufactured one for about $80 and put it in myself (its not that hard...just disconnect the 2 hoses and remove a few bolts. AutoZone even pulled my old pulley off for free so I could...

1044012 I have a similar prob with my 95 YJ. 2nd gear is the worst and third grinds too...fourth grinds only every once in a while. Third has alwasy been pretty bad though...sometimes I have to push as hard as I can to get it in third (but it doesnt grind then...just is really hard to get...

1044123 Yeah man they outta fit right on the stock canyon wheels. I checked around and for my lift I went the skyjacker route. I bought the 4" kit with the soft ride springs and hydro shocks. I am very pleased with the results and the ride is pretty good...I think its better than the stock...

1044127 Hey drack. I have a question for you. Wouldnt be a lot of work to put in a motor mount lift? Do you have to pull the motor to put em on? Anyway billgin, I put a 4" suspension lift (skyjacker) and 31"s on my 95YJ and it worked out quite well. I had vibes but dropped the T-case and...

1044176 Lincoln Locker!!! LOL I like it hehe.[addsig]

1044273 I installed my 4" suspension lift myself...here is a few tips: A: Air tools are nice, mine suck and couldn't break those rusted bolts. B: PB Blaster is your very best friend in this matter....use it generously (spray all the nuts and bolts you plan to remove at least 24 hours...

1044366 Hmm lots of usless posts going on here....might as well jump on the bandwagon. BTW this is the #1,000 General Chat post!!! [addsig]

1044367 Congrats man on the jeep. 75K is very low for a 12 year old vehicle! My 95 had 96K when I bought it this summer. Just make sure you change all the fluids and get EVERYTHING serviced right away. Welcome to the world of jeeps. Just Empty Every Pocket! Good luck man.[addsig]

1044458 Some simple math is all it takes to figure it out....and its free and will keep you from seeing red and blue while cruising down the highway not knowing really how fast you are going. Some gear formuals Gear Ratio (RPM x Tire Diameter)/(Diff ratio x Trans Ratio x Transf Case...
