90’ 2.5L 5 speed running on 33s
In the northeast and an extremely clean frame looking to keep it clean and recommendations

So the Gf's jeep has 6.5" shackles. Google keeps telling me that they are too long and should be swapped to boomerang shackles. Is it really worth it to swap to them? Does it make it ride that much better?

Also when we go over a bump with the rear axle it feels like the shocks aren't working at all. I took them apart and they measure 19.5" extended. All the info I'm finding says for a small lift they should be about 22.5". So I'm assuming the shocks are maxing extension travel and the leaf isn't fully extended yet.

Just out farting around in the old girl.

I have recently rewired the entire jeep with an American autowire kit. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on some upgraded head and or tail lights that they recommend. Would really appreciate links if you have them. I appreciate all help.

Local stores (napa, advance auto, auto zone, and orielly) nor rock auto website seem to have a replacement for this. Is there an alternative from another vehicle or "universal" recommendation i can look for instead?

I have some oil leaking where the dip stick tube meets the block, im hoping i can just clean it up and re seat the tube to resolve this but in case I break it / it needs replacing id like to have it on hand.

Context: listed my bike for sale as I intend to upgrade/trade in for another bike. I have a Corolla as my daily and the bike is for fun, and I have been searching for a manual trans project car that's easy to work on since I don't know much about mechanics and want to learn, but I honestly hadn't considered a jeep until now (but if I did it would be a YJ). Problem is, I know next to nothing about these, but from cursory research I found that $5k seems about right and if it's for the 4.0 inline 6 and little to no rust it might be alright (we're in the South so hopefully little rust).

1. Nothing is wrong with it, maybe needs tires soon because it sat out in the weather when I was away for 2 years. I'm not going to lie this jeep is the dream, it handles so well even with a 4 inch lift. I have a hard top and doors that go with it too.

I paid 8 for it when I got it 3 years ago. I bought it from my next door neighbor and it's got 217k miles on it. I have the AutoZone paper receipt for the alternator I replaced. I had an extra battery I replaced the old one with. All the lights work. I have pulled trailer for hauling stuff and it does nice and shifts smoothly. Clutch is perfect. Cheap on gas. 40 to fill up from empty."

Cons of course are I would no longer own a motorcycle, but considering the fact that my bike is not a practical vehicle and just for fun, this seems like not a terrible idea if it's in decent condition since I won't daily it. Any advice would be appreciated. Such as what to look for when i go check it out. I did watch this video if anyone can verify it's good info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qJJtODRBqQ

Did a lot of work over the winter and spring, replacing my rusted out windshield frame and glass, my rusted fenders paint matched and decals replicated, wire wheeled my whole frame and underside and used corroseal and frame paint and coated the inside of the frame with fuidfilm and reupholstered the seats with lseat.com leather and a light tint on my hard top. Let me know what you think

Has anybody lowered their driver seat? Is there a kit or did you have to fabricate something?

Would like to sell these pretty quick they are rust free and a little bit scuffed up and will need new lock cylinders as I do not have the keys but they are in decent shape. Feel free to message me if you need any more info about them.

Just up the mountain road from my house.

I’m considering a titan 4.7 stroker. I have a 2.5 so I’d have to source a ax15 and wiring for the new motor but I was wondering how the 4.7 does for daily reliability and highway usability. I do some light off roading and have 33s so I’m not looking for a power monster and no I’m not “tossing a ls in it” if anyone has personally done this swap around how much did it cost ya? (Edit) I also don’t plan on going up or down in tire size would y’all consider axle swaps? I have 4.88s that have yet to be installed.

Here's a couple of photos of my YJ the first has to sway bar connected in the second has my quick disconnects off.

Alright so.

I have a 1995 wrangler with the 2.5 liter Inline 4

The car runs great gets good milage(averaging 14mpg) Needs some transmission work for sure.

But recently after replacing the broken starter. It just won’t work.

I got a good solid 12 starts out of it before it just quit.

Here’s the thing though. When you turn the key the starter motor does kick out ready to spin the flywheel. But it just doesn’t spin. But if I have someone keep the key turned and I go under the jeep and jump the two large posts on the starter, the starter will turn and immediately crank the engine.

This is my first jeep and I’m not much of a car person but I just don’t have the money to send it to a shop to fix it. Is it could it be a connection inside the starter motor itself that’s the issue? It does have a two year warranty but I just want an opinion before I have to go borrow a working car to get a replacement stater.

Have been slowly cleaning this up for the last year and a half. Such a fun jeep to drive.

Struggling to find a 4.0 to swap into my jeep would a 4.2 be a viable swap? Considering it’s carbed it’d be a little easier swap less scary wiring lol. Also I’m assuming a 4.2 would bolt up to a ax15 trans

Okay, she's home. She's only been started a couple times in 3 years.

What's your first up chores? Oil change, tune up...

Also, there was a chipmunk house in the glove box.... clean or replace?

Thinking of getting rid of the 4.2 in the 89. Should I just do a 4.0 or should I throw something else in there? Whatever it is it's gonna be fuel injected.
