Some of the Saharas and Unlimiteds came with a Dana 44 in the rear as an option. The only TJs to have a Dana 44 front are the Rubicons. You use to be able to buy OEM TJ Dana 44s for a reasonable price off the shelf but I think those days are gone and the KJ version are now offered instead as...

It is true, Jeep begged, borrowed, and stole parts from anyone they could so I understand what Dave is saying. In fact, the 1980 CJ5 that I use to own had a very tiny bowtie in the middle of the OEM steering wheel; GM’s way of rubbing it in a little I guess. My point is if you use parts that...

In my world it is nice to keep a Jeep, Jeep. I believe you lower the value of a CJ when you stuff a Chevy or Ford motor in them. Not to say I haven’t done it but I learned the error of my youthful ways. The T4 is going to be your weak link as it is a light duty transmission that was never...

The YJ 2.5 comes with a cast exhaust manifold out of the box while the 4.0 YJs have a tube steel manifold more like a header. In my experience one of the main reasons the cast manifolds crack is from the exhaust system swinging around, particularly while wheeling so make sure your exhaust system...

Steel Horse products, in my opinion, where generally not very good quality, hence the probable reason for their demise.

Welcome to the Z. By 1986 the CJ was loosing favor in part due to the bad publicity Ralph Nadir and his henchmen heaped on the CJ5 a few years earlier, hence the reason for the 1987 Wrangler. Jeep changed the look, lowered and softened the ride, plus a few other goodies, and gave us square...

One other thing to consider when it comes to the I4 in a Wrangler is the wind. If you live in a part of the country with strong winds such as I do, the Columbia River Gorge, and you have to drive into the wind on a highway for any distance, 40-50 mph may be all you can get with the petal to the...

The other thing to consider is how much time will be spent on the asphalt. If this is a daily driver too then maybe it would be best to not lower the gears in the pumpkins as dramatically but lower the gearing in the transfer case instead. That way you will have better street performance but can...

One other idea, the rubber diaphragm in the pump went bad.

Lacquered up carb or fuel filter from old gas? Thanks for your service to keep us safe at home.

Stab in the dark here but with the 20 gallon tank is the fuel pick up submersed in gas? The 20 gallon version is deeper than stock.

To start with $6K for an 87 YJ is way too much to pay. If it hasn’t already been done the carb would need to be changed out to a Motorcraft 2100 (stay away from the Weber as they can be problems if you don’t get a good one out of the box) and the emission system Nuttered. The jeep will never...

If you can't find it local these guys most likely will have an OEM one in the yard. Kind of hard to ship and I can’t tell where you are located. http://www.oly4x4.com/usedparts.php These guys will have full gages you weld up. If you don’t find what you want on their website I would give...

Value is somewhat area relevant. As an example in the Great Northwest Jeeps hold their value primarily due to the winter weather conditions and the close proximity to wheeling opportunities as opposed to say Southern California. In the NW you use the 4 wheel drive much of the time due to the ice...

The two piece axle shafts in the AMC 20 can leave you stranded in the driveway just as easily as on the trail. I would change out the shafts ASAP. Survivability of the axle depends largely upon how you treat it. The axel tubes on the CJ AMC 20 version are fairly thin and will bend with heavy use...

I’ve owned several Wranglers that had this problem. Is the gas leaking on the driver’s side between the tank and the rear wheel? (In that area anyway) If so the clamps on the gas lies at the top of the tank may have come loose. It’s hard to see but get your head up there as far as you can...

It could be your fame is tweaked a little bit too, not uncommon with older jeeps. Once you have the front end aligned if you still feel a pull it may be due to tire wear. Rotate the fronts to the back and it should take care of it.

YJs tend to have a problem with the clamp loosening on the fuel line up at the top of the tank on the driver’s side. At first you will only smell raw gas but eventually it will start to puddle. It is possible that water could have entered the fuel line there or the tank at some other point...
