I replaced my RMS last month on the 4.0 and put on a new FelPro oil pan gasket at the same time. Of course the oil leak persists, so I’m trying again. My question is whether there is a practical way to remove the RTV residue from the gasket without damaging it. I tried carb cleaner and brake...

I decided to replace the factory headlight circuit with the “Daylight” harness from Jeepcables. Since it is designed for an XJ with the battery in the front of the engine compartment, I’m having trouble deciding where to anchor the relays. I think the best spot would be just below the...

I had an oil leak in my 95 YJ so I tackled the rear main seal and oil pan gasket. Never done a RMS but since my LJ just developed a similar leak I decided to go for it. Things went slowly but I the only trouble I had was inserting the new upper half; it was very tight and I ruined one. I...

We took our big family excursion out to the San Juan’s early this month. Our family has grown so I brought the LJ and had to rent 3 JLUR locally. It was pretty cool having a convoy of four. We had two days planned with one night of camping near Silverton in between. However, our plans were...

I've had my LJ for more than 5 years (33's with 2.5" OME springs 1.25" body lift, and JKS Quicker Disconnect sway bar links). It is otherwise basically stock, with all original control arms, no tummy tuck, stock driveshafts, gearing and factory LSD (which may not even work). The only armor is...

I rounded the shoulders on a caliper bleeder bolt last week; the 3/8 wouldn’t quite fit and the 10mm was slightly loose. When it didn’t come loose easily I sprayed Liquid Wrench a few times over a couple hours, and to avoid snapping it off I used the 18v impact. I thought it was turning the bolt...

I’m in need of a proper top for my ‘cruiser’ jeep; it currently has a bestop bikini top which is ok, but I really need a full top so I can get A/C in the summer, and some weather protection for the occasional rainy day. I’m going back and forth between a soft top (like I have on the LJ) or a...

I installed the Savvy bumper with steel hoop a few years ago, and didn't get the winch mount. Well now I think I want to get a winch (sliding around in muddy trails last month got my attention) and I don't know what hardware I'll need to mount the winch to this bumper. I went to the new savvy...

Does anyone know much about sway bars in front wheel drive cars? My 17-year-old wanted to mod his four-cylinder Accord (pretty lame to spend a bunch of time on car forums, I know) and put in a much thicker rear anti-sway bar. Now it seems to be scarily prone to oversteer. Is this my...

The cars I drive most are high mileage (181k 4.0L wrangler, 268k honda), and I’d like to buy a compression test tool, especially on the Civic because its performance/ fuel economy have dropped slowly over years and now Im having moderate oil consumption. Are there any recommendations? Home...

I'm trying to solve minor electrical issue which has me stumped (doesn't take much). The windshield wash spray motor has not worked since I got the Jeep. I'm confused because I'm reading 11+ volts to the connector contacts when the switch on the stalk is depressed, but it won't run the...

Frame is (I’m 99% sure) OEM factory from a 2005 LJ. Purchased from a forum member in order to acquire his factory Dark Khaki fabric. He stated he is the original owner and his Jeep came from the factory with the dual tops, but he never used the soft top in Idaho. Sunrider feature and...

Ok hear me out before you bring on the flame... Phase I of the build has gone great; I replaced the original lift (2" springs + 2" rubber spacers, no BL) with 2.5" OME + 1.25" BL/1"MML). Still using stock CAs all around, stock driveshaft and slip yoke; NO vibes with either lift. Yes it's an...

I’m refreshing things on my ’95 YJ and I’ve run into an odd problem with the rear body mounts. The FSM and the original parts list indicate that all four of the rear bushings/isolators are identical. However, the holes in the crossmember in front of the fuel tank are smaller than the ones in the...

Selling used soft top. Frame is (I’m 99% sure) OEM factory from a 2005 LJ. Sunrider feature and accompanying latch pins included. It’s in very good, serviceable condition. All screws included. Fabric top is used Rugged Ridge. Black sailcloth. Also serviceable. Windows are tinted with...

I’m going on my first group wheeling trip in a few weeks and am gearing up. I have no comms right now and I’m interested in three super-basic walkie-talkies. We’re an inexperienced group, will be doing only mild trails, and will stay together at all times; there will be children ages 1-10...

I replaced my rusty exhaust with a cheap walker kit from manifold to tailpipe. I heard a modest leak, and with the blower /soapy water trick, found it where the resonator joins the catalytic converter. Apparently I hadn’t inserted the resonator into the cat pipe far enough, so the clamp had...

Picked these up with my YJ purchase. I removed them almost immediately. They are in very good condition. Glass is clear, no rips or broken plastic. I don't see part numbers on them, but best I can tell from Bestop's website: Duster is for: 1992 - 1995 Wrangler with Factory Hard Top...

I picked up what appear to be TJ front and rear bumpers from the PO of my YJ. I'll post 'em for $50 online if no one here wants them.

I'm looking to get rid of the Smittybilt mesh windows that came on my recent YJ purchase. looking on the manufacturer's website, it looks like these are designed for TJs (not LJs). They're in good condition; all elastic ties included. Cloak Mesh Rear and Sides - 95601...
