I’m looking for any leads on this jeep my late uncle built its a 87’-91’ YJ with a CJ front clip, it has a 355ci Chevy engine, custom yellow and black interior/ custom soft top aswell as black stripes down the hood. The last I know of it it was in the northern Massachusetts area unfortunately I do not have the VIN but it is pretty recognizable any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Making progress on the rust repair on my 318,000 mile 03 TJ. Passenger side torque box is finally drilled out and removed. Time to clean up the floor underneath and start cutting the rusted corner out.
Working on my mother in law’s TJ and I have been unable to resolve its cooling issues. When going up hills or going over 50~ the temp will creep up to 230(worse if AC is on). This is what I’ve done so far;
2006 Unlimited Auto 4.0
New Mopar water pump and thermostat, USMW fan clutch, and Denso radiator(unable to find mopar radiator or fan clutch in stock anywhere near me.)
Flushed coolant and put G05 zerex in. Bled system with funnel.
Seems just as bad as before?
I love the traditional rubicon Moab wheels, but I feel like black rims might look better with the yellow paint. I cannot decide.
Which do you prefer?
(PS - I’m repainting my OEM fenders so those will look black again soon).
In the process of doin a mini make over on my old tj. U joints, new axles, hubs, headlights, tail lights, flares and getting ready to prep and spray.
Struggling to choose a new set of wheel for my '02 TJ (Sienna Pearl, tan top, tan and green interior). No lift. Plan is to pair the wheels with some Toyo Open Country AT3 - 31x10.5R15 tires. I narrowed it down to the three wheels in the photo. I have used the visualizer tool but it just isn't helping me decide. Opinions welcome.
Also, I was just going to order everything from Tire Rack (they have the best price) and put them on myself. Anyone had experience with this approach, good or bad?
Like title says, this is a 97 Wrangler TJ manual with the 2.5L engine.

Over the past few months I've noticed the ticking noise shown in the video becoming more pronounced, especially at idle, but is also noticeable when giving it gas.
The sound I am trying to figure out is most evident towards the end of this video.
Any help in identifying the cause would be appreciated. Sounds like it's coming from the engine itself and I'm leaning towards either bad risers, or something with the cylinder skirts.
Thx all <3
Just picked up this ‘97 TJ with a 4L I6, 173K miles, manual transmission and most of the upgrades I would want to do already done. Clean with no rust but a lots of slop in the steering, hopefully won’t cost to much when I take it to my mechanic 🤞
I just bought this 97 wrangler with the 2.5 and 5 speed manual. Any issues I should watch out for?
Went with a satin desert tan. Was previously black. Very happy with how it came out
I use a flexible magnet to pick up all the rusty morsels from inside the frame. Its deceiving because the outside of the frame looks clean. These rust from the inside out.
