1043588 I have just the opposite problem - my 90 YJ's 4x4 light won't go off, even though I know it isn't in 4WD. Weird thing is that this problem mysteriously developed during the night, while the Jeep was parked in the driveway. My mechanic said, "Live with it or pay me for several hours...

1043686 My 90 YJ seems to have the exact same symptoms as Greencuke describes. On starting, it sounds like the exhaust system is full of marbles. On idle, it comes and goes. If I pry the catalytic converter up, the vibrating sound disappears, but returns when I release the pry. Thing is...

1044279 Hey Mrnoitall - My 90 YJ came to me with 31" Bridgestone AT tires on 15"x10" rims and what I'm hearing is that you would be better off going with 8" wide rims than 10" wide. See my Nov. 9th post "10" wheel question -" and replies. Truth is that my tires do look a bit "bulgy" as was...

1044534 Tug - that's amazing! Too bad I live a little too far away from Tennessee to make it worth the trip, and then there's that currency exchange problem...I live in Ottawa, Canada. But I gotta check it out here. Thanks for the info![addsig]

1044571 Thanks for responses. My YJ has 31 inchers, no lift. Backed into a tree once at walking speed (has any offroad Jeep not had an "accident" at some point?!). Front springs seem to be sagging a bit, otherwise okay. Just had a front end alignment done; mechanic said it was fine. Any...

1045263 I've got the 2.5 in my 90 YJ and it has plenty of guts. As for the mileage, well, that's another story. I was getting around 12 city MPG, so I decided to use that damned upshift light (no I haven't removed the bulb - yet) for a whole tank of gas. I actually increased my MPG to 14...

1045264 Thanks, Tug. Actually got the US Wheels number from a friendly supplier - Tyres Int'l in Ohio. Number for US Wheels in Huntington Beach, CA is (714) 892-0021.[addsig]

1045266 Hmm - seems I'm not getting anywhere with this post, so I'm gonna reply to it myself. Here goes: You total jerk! Stop wasting our time with your whining about how to use a message board. If you can't figure out how to use a message board, do you REALLY think you are qualified to...

1047010 I got the following info from <www.off-road.com>. It answers my original question about peak torque and HP for the 2.5L, but makes me wonder why MudderChuck's manual quotes much lower torque and HP numbers, and different RPMs. AMC 150 I4 Bore x Stroke 3.88" x 3.19" Displacement...

1047670 Hey guys - check out this website <www.riptech.net> for a wiper conversion package. [addsig]

1072718 Wish someone had some advice for you, phntmjeep, 'cause I've got the same problem with my 90 YJ softtop. Side windows keep coming out of their rails, either at the door edge or at the bottom. I've had to pull over several times just before they've blown off their zippers. I'm gonna...

1043965 I'm sooo confused! I have been reading so much conflicting stuff about lifts recently that I feel like I'm back at square 1. Body lifts, suspension lifts, SOAs, add-a-leafs - the list just goes on. Makes me think that Jeepz.com, as great as it already is, should have a forum dedicated...

1043970 I know I just posted a question (more like a plea, I guess) about lifts, but I've got another more specific one on wheels. My third-hand 90 YJ came to me with 31x10.5" tires mounted on 15x10" wheels. There is quite a dramatic offset to these wheels - I think I would have been happier...

1044110 Is a 2-2.5" add-a-leaf kit a workable modest lift for a 90 YJ? No serious off-roading planned. Mostly for extra clearance on 31" tires and appearance. Any adverse effects like stiffness, stress on other components? Sounds like ultimate inexpensive lift to me. [addsig]

1044280 Thanks to all who responded to my Nov. 10th post on Add-a-leaf kits. I'm concerned that the AAL might flatten out like I'm hearing, although I'm wondering if that is from normal on-road use or the strains of off-roading. Maybe getting the existing springs re-arched is better. Anybody...

1044409 Hi Terry. I am new to message boards and would like to know how to use it better. Are there instructions/FAQs somewhere on the site? Specific questions: How do you get the little icons into your message? What is ICQ, AIM, YIM, MSNM in the user profile? What's BBCode? How do you...

1044538 I have this slightly paranoic feeling that my YJ is "dogtracking". I don't know what else it is called, but it means when the vehicle isn't tracking perfectly straight down the road, but seems to be slightly off-parallel to the direction in which you are moving. My mechanic says that...

1044827 Is there any easy - and accurate - way to determine the offset and backspace on a wheel? I need to order a spare wheel and notice different backspacing (e.g., 3.50, 3.75, 4.00) available for 15x10 wheels like mine, which are those 8-spoke white wheels that used to be popular. I need...

1045026 Anybody have a phone number for US Wheels? Their website is "under construction" and I can't seem to find where they are or how to contact them. Just want to find out name of closest distributor (Northeast US or anywhere in Canada). Thanks.[addsig]
