    Dick Cepek lift kit

    Does anyone know about the quality or had experience with the Dick Cepek 3.5" lift kit? One of my buddies has a new one that he's offering to me cheap, but I have to let him know soon before he sells it elsewhere. All input is appreciated. Thanks, jered

    intake restrictor on YJ?

    On my '91 4.0 I removed the actual "air horn" coming from the front of the air box into the back of the grill area to attempt more air flow. Have not noticed any major performance changes... does anyone know if this could be harmful?

    Sad story and looking for window replacement

    Hey all, Well, this morning I found that my jeep driver's side window upper was sliced into and my gove box was open.... the only thing missing out of my whole jeep was my $2 flashlight. What makes me furious is that the doors were UNLOCKED and the trash-ball that did this was stupid enough not...

    More good news on the whole starting thing. This weekend I replaced the fuel filter, starter, and battery terminal connectors. Now she starts faster and better than my friend's '00 TJ! Good stuff. -jered

    LOCKERS???

    So I found the Aussie Lockers online for $199... That is the cheapest price I've seen by far - any comments? Does anyone know anyone who has tried these before? Being the poor college guy this seems like the best option yet and my scholarship money will be coming in within 2-3 weeks so I'll...

    lifts?

    How many hours did it take to install the Rough Country kit? I am trying to plan a weekend sometime in the next few months to order it and install. Also- If I wanted to put on some 32"s, would a 1" body lift and 1/2" of fender trim give me adequate clearance? Thanks- jered

    Quick new-jeeper/off-roader question (1991 YJ): Front sway bars are removeable for off-roading? Is there anything I should remove from the rear? Thanks, Jered

    Slow to Start (Starter???)

    93 Grand Cherokee... Ok, somewhat good news. I had the battery checked and it was confusing the machine that checked it... then let up a bit of smoke from the pos. terminal - so I yanked it out and threw in a new one. Ta-da, back to the normal slow start that I'm use to! Now it's dependable...

    Slow to Start (Starter???)

    Recently my '91 YJ I-6 has gotten slower to turn over and start. I am not sure what the problem is, but it seems to be getting worse. Once it turns over like 3 or 4 times it starts right up but the "turning" seems to be taking longer each time I start it up. Anyone had this experience and can...

    Just installed BDS 3.5 Lift!!! (Thanks)

    Began looking for a shackle lift then realized all the problems that came with those. NOW I'm looking for a dependable "lift kit". I've got a '91 YJ and would be happy with some 31" M/T's for Florida-type off roading. (maybe a 2.5" - 3" lift???) Any suggestions for brands? Again- all input is...

    No more clutch!!

    I had the same EXACT thing happen to my 91YJ. Mine turned out to be the clutch slave cylinder in the trans. This sucks because you must get into the trans. to replace it and usually should replace the clutch while you're in there.... this will cost you a lot of work OR a lot of $$$. It may be...

    keeping YJ front speakers dry

    I've got a '91 YJ and am now looking to replace those original speakers and the AM/FM "sound system." I've been to a few audio places like Best Buy and Circuit City and they informed me that they carge double the labor for my style jeep becuase of the difficulty. My question is "How difficult...

    soft top or bikini kit

    Gotta love the soft top. Pull it down and fold it up in 5-10 min and put it up in less than 15 by yourself. Plus the storage/passenger problem is no longer a problem if you dont cover up all your spare storage and seating area. Biniki would be good to have for beach days and such... should be...
