Up here, we get TONS of rust. First we get all the acid rain from down south (Not pointing any fingers just the way it happens ;) ) And in the winter, we get the sand and salt issue. The salt is a natural born killer. Of metal that is. I don't really want to get a new frame, the rest of it is...

Well, this is the big one. On the passenger side, right in the middle of the skid plate, the frame has been severed, and the metal there is so thin from rusting that a patch can not be put in. But I did think of an idea that could probably solve this issue, and not risk anyones life in the...

heh, Cool, they make half off-road vehilcles, half submarines. I have got to get me one of those!;) I wonder when the second guy got out of the rollover under water... I only saw the first guy get out, then it was gone... Gig

There is a problem with that though! The Jeep you buy is also built! ;) It is a never ending circle. Oh, btw, found another crack in the frame.... right at the tranfercase skidplate. Arghhh. Gig

Hehe.... I wouldn't tear it up on a trail.... You see, first I would baby it, wash it ALL the time.............. THEN I WOULD KILL IT! BWAHAHAHA! The fact is though, I am still debating. I might just do a total rebuild to my YJ (I love it that much ;) ), like the new frame, and fiberglass...

The problem with the insurance is also that I am only 19, so.... When I hit 21 it will go down. But the insurance covers theft, fire, windshield... etc.. My 89 YJ is only $300CDN/ YEAR, one way, meaning accident. But hey! It's a Rubicon! DANA 44s! Lockers front and Read! Comes with the hard and...

Hey all! It has been awhile! Well, I have recently been looking into buying the 2006 Rubi. Only $525cdn/month! ;) That isn't even the crazy part. The insurance (It is mandatory here) is around $500cdn/month as well! Telll me that is not crazy.... What are your comments about this rig? I have...

well, I tried the side marker lights... to no avail unfortunetly.... BUT, I did find a problem with the body ground... it wasn't that great...lol Hasn't fixed the problem though... Thanx for the suggestion of buying a painless wiring kit... but I think I will pass at the moment... Gig

well, here we go again. First my radio is dead... now my lights are dead. Today I checked out the fues links... wow! One was burnt, fixed it, my radio came back to life! WHOPPIE! But still no headlights or parking lights. My taillights still work mind you. Well, when I started this hell on...

Re: RE: Update on the site Well, I have a frustrating wiring problem... Someone pulled right out in front of me the other day, I hit the brakes and horn (which is a button on my stick shift) one of my headlights burnt out, and my dash lights dimmed for a while, then they lit right up, my radio...

Well, I had the timing done just before I started taking the body off, so I don't think it is that, (I wish it was) I never loosened the dist. or even go near the timing chain. And if the timing was way off, I don't think it would spark at the same time everytime... Good suggestion anyways. As...

Whoops, sorry to confuse you. It isn't an engine rebuild, just the body, etc... Sorry Gig

RE: Are you a Democrat, Republican or Southern Republican Well, I am about 90% done of my YJ rebuild. Only problem is, she doesn't start. So here it is, 89 YJ 6 cyl. Standard Stock The distributer is in tip top shape, and I have a brand new Ignition Module. The engine turns over, but it...

RE: Windshield wipers Can it keep that from happening? LOL Up here most people just change there rims with the winter tire already on them. Personally, if I see a bit of corrosion stating, I sand it off, and patch it up with some rust paint... works fine for me. 8)

I had antitheft on my 89. I removed it cause it didn't work anymore. But basically it interupted my ignition wire under the dash. It should be a pretty "heavy" gauge yellow wire. Mine was cut and rerouted to a small black box with a switch, then routed back to the other end of the wire. So what...

Re: RE: Rim protection The vacuum advance hose must be plugged, and the CEC Switch must be unplugged for a proper timing. Hope that helps Gig

ABS Vibration no light This is just an idea, but try replacing the ignition module. My YJ did the same thing, would start to die out on me over 50 KMs, I would then have to slow down to 10KMs before it would stop studdering. It finally just died on me. I changed the module, and Now it starts...

Full soft doors or half doors for YJ Does anyone know where I can find a write-up of a Chevy 350 swap with a 258 AMC in an 89 YJ? Much appreciated! Gig

"Part Time" Light???? Thanks for the suggestions! I changed the fuel filter and air filter.. It helped. But I also took the whole carb apart. I can tell you, it needed it. There was some dirt in there and had plugged it all up. So, now I have fuel going through just fine. But now... I've got...
