Started doing a little more work on the Joop to keep some more fluids in it starting simple and just doing valve cover gasket, thermostat gasket, and fixing this blown out alternator bracket that they don’t make replacements for. Got some sick vision x lights and need to make tabs for thoese.

The 9” I got earlier in the year has finally made it out to the bronco in phoenix while I’m still in CA with all my tools, basic details econoline 9 Cho built 5.29? A spool 35 spline disc brake some other stuff probably came from the same Dude I got the spring under kit from

So it started with the idea of bought the jeep for $3500 put $500 into it, list it for $9500 and hope that someone on the east coast goes “oh my god beautiful California rust free low mileage jeep with 1 owner that’s expensive for a YJ but because it looks cool I’ll wire money now” and it almost...

I know it’s been a while since my last update on the Jeep. It ended up sitting for about three months, but I finally got motivated and went through it—new fuel system, motor mounts, belts(it took 9 to get the right size)thermostat housing, and fresh fluids (which I never did when I first got it)...

Reviewing this almost 2 years later i still think sxs are lame for the most part. But there are cool ones and that is any SXS Pre 2007 so pre first rzr everything after this is a mistake

rubbed a hole in a coolant line and the engine shut off at the same time so that was cool

It affects chassis feel but not shocks if you tune the shocks right, in my experience I can tune a car at 22 and tell a customer to run it at that and then they will just drive around at 36 and never air down even offroad

Took a day off to work on my stuff made some solid progress should be done with another 2 days of work. I’m going to run it as a 3 seater and maybe keep it on leaf springs for the time being I have everything to link but also want to drive it.

I want to say this was swapped with a Weber and it’s been pretty solid so far haven’t done anything crazy steep yet

I didn’t want a jeep at 3:15 on that Friday and I sent out the lowball for this at 3:30 I only looked at it because of the blue patina and islander graphics

So far in two weeks of owning it all I’ve done is do a quick retorque and paint make on all the suspension, remove the track bars, and drop down the tire pressure to 20 psi and it floats over everything on the street. I’m m going to look and see if I can find some period correct KCs for it and...

This is my wife’s new jeep that we only got because I sent out a low ball and the guy said yes. It’s a 1990 YJ Islander edition with a 4.2L and a manual 5 speed with some type of lift and the plan for the build is do nothing because it works to good. It will do 75 mph down the freeway with no...

Damn haven’t seen this thing in forever I bought the old front bumper off of you like 4 years ago. Crazy the difference since then

Walls got put back on, not great up close but 20 feet away it’s solid. It drives different now that the fronts not bouncing. Also fixed the old air bags with a $50 Fix it kit from Firestone and installed 24 Temu RGB undeglow/rocklights

Front end is solid crazy the difference when welds aren’t broken
