Does you new motor have a distributor? If it does, most likely did not come from a 03 and I would suggest wiring it up as if it was a 92-95 YJ using that vehicles ECM and ODBI system. then you won't have to worry about evap, down stream O2 and all that junk. If is does not have a distributor...

I would start with inspecting the wires from the tail lights forward and check for any bare wires of a place where someone hacked up the wiring for something like a trailer connection or an alarm. Did the fuse blow exactly when you connected the battery or when you pressed the brakes, turn the...

It's fake. Well documented on Jalopnik

Federal Investigator

Depends on the motor and how good are you are wiring. The questions you are asking ultimately rely on the person doing the works abilities, amount of time researching, and time planning in advance. If I am working with a carbed motor, I can have that wired in less than an hour to get it...

A V8 swap, all said and done properly by someone who knows what they are doing should require about 16 hours of actual labor. Not sure what a 6 valve is, so I assume you mean 12 valve 6bt w/ turbo and IC. This swap is a major project. I have seen one in a YJ chassis and it was beyond labor...

Take the sub out, problem solved. As with anything valuable you leave in an open top/soft top vehicle, it is pretty much free game to anyone that sees it and/or wants it. When I had a sub in my jeep oh so many years back, I had it wedged between the rear seat and the tailgate, then I built a...

Did you change teh valve springs? If not, with more lift, you can bottom the stock spring out and bend a push rod.

I'm a big fan! Glad it worked out, there are so many variations in teh drivetrain position in jeeps over the years that some parts will fit on one jeep, and some simply will not. I remember way back when the SYE first came out (and cost a fortune) I installed mine and installed a rear shaft...

x2 on doing both sides. I usually just use some threaded rod and fender washers of various sizes to push out and seat the seals. Another solution, upgrade to a D60, enough room in the diff to seat the seals with a small ball-peen hammer :crazy:

Could be, have the code cleared and see if it returns. If so just replace the O2. Honestly I am more leaning toward drastic temp variables being a potential cause. On the throttle, heat soaking the O2's electrode than submerging in cool mud quickly cooling followed by another heat soaking.

This. The D35 limits you to 4.88 gear set. the D30 will take up to 5.38's.

You don't need to limit yourself to just a ford 78-79 axle, with some effort anything will fit. I have a chevy D60 in my YJ. I simply got rid of the 231 and replaced it with a 231/300 doubler. You can do the same with just the D300 and have the correct output. The biggest issue with the 80's...

American Racing - Wheels ^^ Closest new you will find as far as I know^^

Added more cylinders ;)

If you not going to wheel, just SOA with your stock axles or find some wide track CJ axles. I see no need for you to go any beefier if you do not intend to wheel it. If you are hell bent on having wide axles, find a 80's k20 and snatch up the 10 bolt front and 14 bolt rear. if it has external...

FYI, line lock on the front axle will not help a whole lot with holding the jeep and winching. Considering winch safety when pulling another vehicle, the driver remains in the vehicle with a foot on the brake as to maintain control over the vehicle and rev the motor to assist the winch. Also...

Honestly, the posibilies are endless. If I were you, I would search for a chevy D60, Dime a dozen and can be bought a lot cheaper than the ford counter part (in my area) and are arguably stronger. For what you will pay for a early FSJ D44, might as well buy a D60. For the rear, since ground...

Ford explorers also will swap. Heck there is a guy driving around here with rims from a early 2000's 17" dodge intrepid rims on his XJ. as long as they are 5 on 4.5 and enough back spacing to clear the brakes, they will fit.

I think Swag Offroad makes a pretty trick kit to put a CJ tailgate on a YJ or TJ. If you DIY, you will have to add support to the lower portion of the tub where the CJ hinges will go, but pretty straight forward swap.
