I had a rough country 3.25" lift and have been replacing bits as I go...today, I leveled out my 2" rake by installing some Teraflex 4" lift coil springs Also put some adjustable control arms on the other day and did the ZJ steering upgrade....I need and alignment now - haha

Somebody told me, many years ago, when something won't start, it's one of three things; Air, Gas, or Spark (presumably) You've got spark and gas, could it be air?

I had a clutch go out in my YJ (actually, it was the throwout bearing) in my AX15. When I drained the tranny fluid, not much came out :( It was always pretty whiney...it had about 200k miles when this happened I replaced the clutch with a Luk, filled the transmission with 10w30 for a few miles...

So, a new guy showed up at work a couple months ago...with a SCRAMBLER!! Here's my YJ next to it. And, here's a pic of my ol' YJ next to my current TJ - I sold the YJ to buy the TJ. It was my dad's Jeep in this pic, before I got it.

Apparently, he is :) Whatever Welcome!! and Buenos Dias, Como Esta? (i'm a gringo too) I'd say the TJ is way more funner than some big ass JKU, I'd flat tow the TJ to the trails with the JKU, just my 2¢. Do what you want, you will anyway

I don't think the back seat belts would've done much in that wreck ^^ sheesh man, that looks horrible The back seat comes out the first day. I've had 3 Jeeps, used ZERO back seats. I should sell mine too. Seat belts are out too, always config my Jeep to be a 2 seater. Makes it the ideal dog...

NOT RELATED TO 4WD: but, maybe it'll help with a similar situation This didn't happen in my TJ, but I had an AX15 in my YJ. Tooling down the freeway one day and I'm suddenly in neutral...in gear... I make my way to the shoulder, try 1st gear, let out the clutch....nothing... shut it off. I...

Congrats!! I loved the icicles on the fenders, that made it for me

GENIUS! (y)

After getting crap about having 'square headlights' from a buddy with an ol' flat fender Willys Jeep, I decided to get my YJ pissed off. I cut up a green plastic garbage can to make my eyelids, painted them black and screwed them right into the headlight rings. You can see some paint peeling...

I have all that on my lift too, hockey pucks for the TC drop (sorry I left all that out in my OP). That's why I figure it must be a 3.25", but I see no spacers in the rear, I see taller springs. I just wanna even out the stance, the front has so much less clearance. I'd rather not use any spring...

I believe I have the Rough Country 3.25" lift. It took me a while to come to this conclusion, but after watching all their installation videos, I think I see the combination of parts that match what's on my Jeep. Springs, shocks, rear trackbar bracket, spring spacers in front etc. Their 4" lift...

Well, you got one thing we don't in Paradise...a Domino's Pizza ;)

Indeed. Metal prices are outrageous right now I'll keep combing Craigslist in hopes of finding some for a reasonable price. There are a lot of old TJs around here - most are bone stock. Maybe somebody will pick up a project and I'll get lucky

I still have a thing for the old VWs... I had a couple Squarebacks in my time, saw a Fastback in the parking lot last summer and ended up going to a VW car show in my YJ later that day :) The owner of the car belonged to a club called Vochos La Raza (Volkswagen People or VW Race/ethnicity)...
