A couple of summers ago my father, brother and I tore apart my dad's 95 YJ Wrangler that had a 4 cyl and a 5 speed. Here is what it looked like once the rust got cut out and test fitting the engine: Here it is with the frame, body, and firewall painted. The interior got a spray-in raptor bedliner. It was on 235s. Then we put the front fenders, grille, and rock-sliders on. It has the original steel body and the frame has been patched. Then we put the windshield and flares on. This is it all together with the 235s on it. We ended up needing to build a traction bar and putting in a slip yoke eliminator because, with the stock springs, the axle-wrap was terrible, so it broke 2 driveshafts and 2 stransfercases. In the garage is our 1959 Chevy wagon-nothing special, 350 and a 700r4. Then the 35s went on. You can see the tote lid under it catching fluid from the broken T-case. We then took it out and flexed it on our culvert some: (It whips good pavement donuts, don't ask) Here is a pic of the first ride it went on. It is the Jeep in the front. The other YJ is actually a CJ-5 with a custom front end. Last summer my dad worked on a YJ with a 4.2 and a 5-speed and 27,000 original miles. Here are some more recent shots of it in action. This bottom one is of the first time we had it on the road this year. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

In my formidable years, my father always told us boys, that you will never own a motorcycle or a Jeep Wrangler. He considered that those two motorized vehicles were death traps. God rest your soul, Dad. Today, I placed a down payment on a 2005, Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon. It is bone stock, yes the body sheet metal has typical rust, but its frame/skeleton and running gear, are in great condition. The soon to be, previous owner took very good care of it and each time that it was driven on salty roads, they would put it through an automatic car wash/undercarriage wash. It was their DD, but it also was always garage kept. Spring of 2020, I will address each rusty area, individually and eventually, nip those problems in the bud. I will also Fluid Film its undercarriage and keep it coated, throughout time. Every option, works as it should. 6-speed manual, 4.0 liter with 107k miles on it. Plus all of the typical equipment, that you will find on a Rubicon. It will remain to be, strictly my DD. No mods, within the foreseeable future. My MJ gets all of the attention. So here, I present you to the '11th Hour' Yes, that its name. It was listed on Facebook Marketplace, for 11 hours, before I discovered it. Also, in reference to, Matthew 20: 1-16. It is my wish to apply bible verses, that mean something to me, on its white body panels in decals and it will be GDZ Jeep.

I recently bought an 1986 Jeep Comanche pioneer and have done a decent amount of work on it but I needed new tires. I found some wranglers off a 2007 Sahara and I know they won’t fit. I need a spacer/adapter and a lift kit to make them fit. Any suggestions?

Figured I'd do an easy one for my first write up. I heard about using JK shocks on this forum, but couldn't find any real specific information. So here ya go! Any set of shocks from a JK will work. I chose to get some from a Rubicon, as they are gas charged, and it doesn't hurt that they are race car red. :yes: Takeoff JK shocks are pretty common, there are a LOT of people who lift their JK, and most have very few miles on them. First, let me give you guys some measurements so you can decide if they'll work for you: Front extended: 22.5 inches Rear extended: 23.125 (note: these upper rear bushings are NOT the correct ones I ended up using) Since I failed to get compressed lengths, here's some measurements hornbrod got from Monroe's website: Front: Compressed Length 14.020", Extended Length 21.930" Rear: Compressed Length 14.760", Extended Length 23.150" From what I've heard, they'll work for up to around 2 inches of lift. I have OME 2930 coils up front and 2wd leaves with a 1 inch lift shackle in the rear.
