Thanks for your videos and sharing your love for the YJ. I am working on a ‘95 and the roll bar was tweaked when the old owner laid it on its side. The junk yard replacement is pretty expensive and i am thinking of maybe cutting the pipe at the mounting plates and re-welding it the way it should be??? Who knows it may work 😊

I was smiling thru the whole " what I hate" comments! You hit every one! All of these I have changed out as you have suggested, including the 8.8 and the clamp on the front axle.

[martiandooz]

During my 88 rebuild, I:
swapped in an 8.8
deleted the track bars (part of my SOA)
converted to 1 piece TJ passenger axle
replaced ALL the torx with hex heads

We have a lot in common \m/

I made a blocking plate that keeps crap from magically falling out of the glove box. It just sticks up about 3/8" or so. I like how it's angled for stuff to fall out rather than in.

You can buy the flat ribbon for gauges new !

Best thing I ever did was to get rid of the track bars.

I agree with you on YJ Renegade. My 1st Jeep, a 1979 CJ7 RENEGADE. I went through everything thing. It was awesome when I got done. After a few years of driving it( which it was my daily driver) I screwed up and sold it. I have a 1990 yj ( 4.0 carb) that I've been working on. And my daily driver is a 2018 Rubicon ( Rhino edition). The Renegade YJ, is a little to much, as far as looks and function. It's more of a pavement prowler, than a real Jeep

Thank you for another great video brother, I’m curious as to what gear ratio you’re running, I have a factory 307 gear and I can’t get over 50 mph

I appreciate your seemingly encyclopedic knowledge. I'm not much of a mechanic but have ~200k miles on my YJ and would like to keep my YJ till I die (I'm 65 yrs old)
'91 YJ 4 ltr 6 cyl here. Where can I find a charcoal vapor canister? My gas tank pressures up with the gas cap on and I was assured by mechanics that the pressure build up was due to the vapor canister being clogged and not the pressure regulator. I got a used vapor canister off the internet from an online used parts seller and it lasted about a month.
I bought a 2nd gas cap and pulled the gasket seal off to let the pressure leak out. It runs ok but I realize that if I ever roll the jeep or am rear ended it will leak gasoline.
My AAA mechanics and I have been unable to locate a replacement vapor canister and they are not being made anymore.
Any suggestions? Anyone?

[TheLittlered]

Agreed. The track bar went very quick. The sway bar did too after the lift kit. Got the 8.8 and sye. The thing I really hate is it leaks like a siv. Here is my Jeep before lift. The lift was sitting at home. 🤣🤣🤣

Hey man I noticed you have a yj with the wind jammer I was wondering which one you have the seals in the entire cab

So using the hose clamps works but not for daily driving around town afterwards?
