I have an oportunity to maybe pick up a 2002 Wrangler which is just a parts vehicle. I want to make the gent a fair offer but I don't want to overpay for it either. 1st of all it was hit big time square in the nose! Most of the sheet metal up front has been removed but nothing could have been...

I need to get a new shaft. Guy on eBay selling on says that his shaft is from a vehicle that had Power Steering & will not work on a vehicle w/o Power Steering? Is this true? There's a difference in this shaft? Please advise Jim

Here's the facts of the story: * Installed a Complete 2004 Wranggler 4.0 engine, Trans, t-case, computer & engine wiring harness into my 89 Wrangler. * Speedo won't work because its cable driven & not electronic! * Purchased a 1994 YJ Speedometer / Tachometer Cluster complete with flexible...

This is good news to me so I thought I'd pass it on for what it's worth. 1st off the seats in my 1989 Wrangler aren't in the best of condition. I've been looking at seat covers but good ones are expensive & there still covers. The seats themselves are a little bit to firm for my tender butt -...

Trying to install a speedometer / tachometer cluster into my 1989 Wrangler. We put a "Complete" 2004 Wrangler 4.0 drivetrain (Motor, 42RLE Auto Trans & NV T-Case) We also used the 2004 harness & computer. Here's my problem: The old Speedometer won't work because its cable driven. I was told to...

Next saga in my quest to get this 2004 4.0 running right in my 1989 Wrangler. As you may remember, I purchased & installed the Late 80's Ford (Big Truck) type E2000 Externally Mounted Fuel pump to supply this 4.0 with the pressure it needed (like 49.2 +/- 2) per the specs........... well it put...

I have to get a speedo from a 91 or 92 up to a 95 YJ because they are electronic vs the cable driven '89 which I have...... My question is: Will this new cluster fit into my existing bezel or do I have to get (ie: 1995) bezel as well as the speedo / tach cluster? Thanks, Jim

I think I should have bit the bullit in the beginning and not tried to keep my 89 tank and rig up an external fuel pump & filters / regulators etc..... now I think I'll have to install another low pressure pump to feed the Hi pressure pump because it pushs out faster than it can suck...

Will the fuel tank from a 2002 Wrangler fit into a 1989 Wrangler? Yes - No - Maybe???? What modifications does it require? Is the 4 cylinder internal fuel pump in the 2002 tank the same as a 4.0? will it work with a 4.0?Yes - No - Maybe???? This is a test! Thanks Jim

Next! I'm doing away with the stock Wrangler instrument gauges and going with a New Look. I've planed a piece of redwood to 1/4" thick & I'm mounting all new individual gauges on it. The Oil & Temp are to be mechanical but I have to keep the original 2004 engines senders in place which send info...

We're not done yet! I still need help! I have an article that was done a few years back on another Jeep website relative to doing a 4.0 OBD II swap into a YJ etc...... in it they call out using a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) & adapter from a 91 Wrangler and they even list P/N's and the old...

As you may have noticed over the past weeks, due to my numerous posts, we put a 2004 Wrangler with its auto trans & transfer case into our 1989 Wraangler which was a 4.2 with a 5 speed. Anyhow, strarted it up yesterday & it's a dandy! Sits and idles with around 60 lbs of oil pressure. Just a lot...

The upper "U" joint on the steering column of my 1989 Wraangler is junk! I never changed one before but a U joint is a U joint, I guess. Anyway, I go to the Advanced auto paarts website & there's NO Listing...... I stop into my local NAPA Store & he can't find it either?????? Anybody have a part...

I have the drive shafts out of a 1989 Wrangler that was a 4.2 with a 5 speed transmission. I have a few questions: 1) What years are the same? ie; 1987 to 1995 etc...... 2) Are the 4 cylinder Wrangler shafts the same length ? 3) On eBay a guy selling has indicated that a Wrangler & Cherokee are...

How about the tach / speedometer / gauges..... Will the ones in my '89 Wrangler work with the new 2003 engine? I was figuring on changing the Oil & Temp gauges over to mechanical ones but what about the rest of the stuff will all that have to go also??????? if so, do I have to go with...
