1040061 A friend of mine has 30X9.50 BFG Allterrains on his stock 90 YJ... they seem to work well and only rub a little when the wheels are turned all the way to one side. [addsig]

1040177 You might be able to get an original one in good condition from www.2001jeepparts.com. The guy's site isn't informative at all, but he has an unbelievable amount of original stuff in his shop. His name is Jim and his phone number and email are located on the webpage. Good Luck, Jim...

1040224 I have an 85 CJ-7 with 31's, 258 and a t-5 transmission. I'm not sure what the gear ratios are (although I would bet that they are between 2.73 and 3.31), but I've taken it up to about 75 mph once or twice. I'm sure I could push it a little more... but since my CJ is about as...

1040375 hmm... while I haven't done it myself... I've heard that YJ shackles are a good sturdy (and relatively inexpensive) replacement on CJs... anyone out there tried it? [addsig]

1040455 Well you're right that a Tuxedo Park is a rarer model than a normal CJ-5, and it should fetch a higher price... but how much higher is hard to say. More than a CJ-2 or 3 in comparable condition? Probably not (though I could be wrong). I was able to find one tuxedo park on...

1042075 Ah, the 2.8L V6... this GM engine was found in S-10s, Izuzu Troopers and Cherokees in the mid to late eighties and man was it a piece. I had an S-10 Blazer that had this engine... and while it was reliable and I got quite a few miles out of it, it was also seriously underpowered for...

1042271 It's definately not going to bolt right up to your existing transfer case... but that doesnt mean its impossible. I would talk to the folks at advanced adapters to see what you're going to need. I attached the link below. Good Luck, Jim 85 CJ Advanced Adapters[addsig]

1042386 The only other one I can think of is the 'Islander' YJs that were being made for a while... [addsig]

1042582 When I bought my CJ it had 2" lift shackles on it (4" longer than stock). It didn't ride very well and the steering could be downright scary because of the way the lift pulled the one tie-rod up. When I put on stock size shackles I was amazed at how it solved the steering issues. I'm...

1042712 I don't know where you're located at... but there's a guy in NJ with TONS of used parts at a reasonable price. I picked up a hardtop from him a couple years ago for 300 or 400 bucks. Real nice guy with lots of cool stuff... his name is Jim and the phone number is 609-654-5070. You...

1042735 I think your best bet is going to be to try to contact the manufacturer of your top for the part you need. Since its a targa top, it's gotta be aftermarket and probably made by either bestop, steel horse, pavement ends, etc. I know that with Bestop, for example, you can't find any...

1042773 Man that really sucks... and you would think that when you buy a hardtop that costs over 2 grand new, there would be replacement parts available. I guess its just time to get creative and fabricate a catch that will fit your top! Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Jim 85 CJ[addsig]

1042895 An 89 4.0L has fuel injection. Don't let big tires and a lift make you think its woth more than a stocker. If anything, it should be worth less because of the modifications and the fact that you dont know what it has been through. Point this out and use it as leverage. If I were you...

1043067 I can't help you with the wiring... but yeah, the gauges are backlit. good luck, jim 85 CJ[addsig]

1043085 I would stick with the full hard doors... they're good for the cooler months when you want the top down but no doors would be too cold. In the summer when he wants to see the road, or whatever, you can spend a few hundred bucks on a set of 2 piece soft doors that are easy to remove and...

1070921 I think most CJs have that problem... atleast I know mine does. Its the heat from the catalytic converter that gets the floor so hot.[addsig]

1071056 If you want to do it on the cheap, I've heard of people having really good results with this... Motorcraft Swap jim[addsig]

1071074 I've had a set in my CJ for about a year and a half now. They look good and fit well. Mine are solid black, and I've started to notice just a tiny bit a fading. Overall I'm happy with em, they add some padding and look way better than the torn up buckets underneath. jim[addsig]

1074323 It does fit... however the rear window on a YJ hardtop is different. On CJs the rear window has a latch that locks it in place over the tailgate. On YJs the rear window is locked in under (infront of) the tailgate. You're basically just going to have to figure out a way to secure the...
