    A little fun in the sand....(Yukon)

    I took my wife to the coast for the weekend this past week, and had a little fun in the sand. We mostly stayed around Newport, OR, but we traveled south to Florence as well. I had a slight misadventure on the south jetty in Newport and got my Yukon stuck in the sand. A recent storm caused a...

    The joys of swapping engines and such...UGH.

    Why is it that every time you do a swap you run in to a million snags? I'm currently in the middle of an engine swap. The Jeep is a 1988 YJ with a 258, and the donor engine is out of a 1990 YJ. It's also a 258. I pulled the original engine and tranny with little trouble. As I was trying...

    '92 YJ AX15---->'90 4.2 YJ motor. Pilot bearing questions

    A few years ago my Peugot BA10/5 went kaflooey. It got stuck in fifth gear and when I pulled it out it was also full of water. I bought a used AX15 out of a 92-93 YJ and the pilot bearing was incorrect. I bought the '92-93 bearing and it wouldn't work either. We wound up rigging the original...

    Seriously thinking about buying a project CJ7...Thoughts?

    I've always wanted a CJ7 or CJ8, and before I bought my YJ I scoured the Auto Trader and newspapers(this was before Craigslist) for months to find the right Jeep. My YJ just found me, and in ten years I've never been disappointed with my purchase...........BUT, I still long for a CJ7. Maybe...

    POLL: How do you like your Jeeps? Stock, modded, etc.

    I've been thinking about our little community and how folks here view the Jeep experience. Obviously most of us probably like to at least run a trail here and there, otherwise we wouldn't join a nerdy forum about Jeeps. :crazy: What I'm wondering is how stock or modified we all like our...

    Just took my top off for the summer! Anyone else?

    After the rainiest spring I can remember the sun's finally coming out! It's supposed to be nice all week, so I took the top off the YJ. It's nice to have a garage to store it in and just take it out on nice days. The goal is to keep the top off until at least October. I'm so excited to...

    Getting hard to find parts for early YJ's. ARGH!

    I'm getting frustrated. I've been trying to find some replacement parts for my YJ, and I can't source some things I need. Seatbelts - I have to go aftermarket because you can't just buy a female end for the driver's seatbelt. :pp: Rollbar padding- Bestop apparently only makes this in black...

    What other vehicles do you own?

    I love my Jeep, and it's the vehicle I've owned the longest. 10 years, to be exact. It's the only vehicle I'll keep till I die. No question about it. However, I became very tired of driving it daily after about 3 years. Noisy, bumpy, GROSSLY underpowered at freeway speed. I finally...

    Jeeps you USED to own...Post pics!

    On my 18th birthday I bought this '79 Wagoneer for $600. It was all original, right down to the AM/FM/CB Radio! You could tell it had been partially repainted, and it had bald tires, but everything worked when I bought it. Apparently, it had been sitting unused for a long time, because after...

    The evolution of my YJ over ten years!! (Lots of pics)

    September marks the ten year anniversary of the purchase of my '88 Olympic Edition YJ. Its look has changed a lot since I bought it my senior year of high school. When I bought it, the previous owners had installed nearly every chrome doodad imaginable, along with cheesy steel wheels and...

    Monmouth, OR checking in! YJ owner....

    Hello! I'm a new guy (obviously) who likes all things Jeep. I also drive a 2003 Yukon, and I was referred to this sitefrom the Tahoe/Yukon forum by Shaggy. I have an '88 YJ Wrangler with some modifications, mostly out of necessity due to breakage. :crazy: 258 with Weber carb AX-15...
