I also have a `93 YJ and installed the WARN Black Diamond Suspension lift. It was a relatively easy install. I currently have 33x12.50 BFG AT on 15x10 wheels. I have no rubbing on full lock. I used the XT shocks and the ride is very stiff, although articulation is excellent. The spec say that it is a 4" lift, but in reality, I think that it is really 3.5" No big deal unless your state regs prohibit 4".
Good luck on your buildup. |

The radiator drain plug is acessed by removing the grille and is
on the right side of the radiator.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You could considering that a 3 inch lift is usually you need for 33" inch tires, but I would go with 33x10.5 tires to give yourself more articulation over rough terrain. Besides that you really can`t go much faster then 45-50 mph with out dropping a new engine in with 35`s |

Chris,
It is possible that they fell off, and even more so since it was the front two. Hard turns, bumps, etc. can nock these off as they just snap into place.
A good place to find items like this would be a major aftermarket company called J.C. Whitney. They have a website and you can get a free catalog. Do a search for JC Whitney or J.C. Whitney on your favorite search engine to locate their web site.
Good luck,
Rick

The best side steps for you to get would be the ones from the factory that look flush with the fenders. If you plan to go on any Jeep Jamborees, the tubes are discouraged, because they take away some ground clearance. The factory steps will be flush with the bottom of the Jeep making it easier to get in, but no losing any ground clearance. |

If you only want looks or the utility of a step, the factory setup would be your best bet. Other aftermarket bars require either drilling or welding.
If you want serious protection from bolders crushing your rocker panels, you should go for either rocker panel protectors or heavy duty nerf bars welded to the frame. The heavy duty nerf bars offer the best protection at the cost of some ground clearance at the body. If you need this level of protection, the loss of some clearance is a worthwhile tradeoff because you probably already have added lots of lift to your Jeep.
By the way, to determine what`s truly heavy duty, talk to a 4x4 fab shop. Many off-the-shelf nerf bars are NOT heavy duty and will dent or bend very easily when smashed into a bolder. |

I run 35`s with a 4 inch pro-comp lift, 2" body lift, Daystar 1 1/4"
shackles, and my fenders are all trimmed to run TJ, flares on my 91
YJ, I still have to limit the vertical wheel travel to prevent my BFG`s
from rearranging my sheetmetal. Stick to the 33`s,( at most) and you`ll
be much happier.
Also, the fact you can`t run over 50 with 35`s is a joke, my STOCK 4.0L
easily cruises to the trails between 75-80. Although the gas mileage isn`t
great at those speeds.

You probably won`t be able to go much bigger then 31`s and possibly may fit 32`s but I woulodn`t push it too far. |

KTK,
You sure it`s a V6? Should be an I6. If the V is correct, it is not the original
engine and you should find out what engine it is and about any other mods
that may have been performed.
I recently bought a 92 Cherokee Sport (4 door, 5 speed, no power windows or
locks) for $7200 USD. Had 75,000 miles on the ticker. Runs like a champ. I`m
expecting to get at least another 75,000 miles on it before the engine is needing
a rebuild. They`re great engines with regular maintenance. The auto trannys
are supposed to be generally good and strong, but I have no experience with
them (my wife wouldn`t let me get an auto-- she hates them).
In general, they`re good vehicles. Look for rust along the lower parts of the
body, particularly just under the rear doors. Also look for cracks in the body
across the top of the A-pillar (just in front of the front doors, near the roof). Cracks
would indicate that the vehicle was abused and should be skipped.
Hope this helps.

One "upgrade" I made to my 83 CJ7 was to the speaker systems. The front seats needed replacement. I went to the local recycle yard and started looking for "new" seats. I came across an 84 Pontiac Fiero that was about to be crushed. I looked closely at the seats and saw little holes in the headrests. Looking at the base of the seats I saw wiring. The holes were for stereo speakers, two in each seat. A few minutes later I walked out of the yard with two new seats for the CJ for $90.
It took about 2 hours to modify the CJ mounts and the Fiero seats. The sit a little higher than the stock CJ seats and fully recline.
As for the Stereo, I can hear it at 70mph with the top off. Back seat occupants can also hear the stereo (if the top is on). The speakers are weatherproof, and it`s very hard to steal them if you don`t know that they are there.
All in All, one of the best upgrades to the CJ.

My first guess is a vacuum leak.
Can you locate the source of the whistle? Take a piece of rubber hose, put one end to your ear and use the other to locate the source of the whistle. Yeah, you`ll look dumb, but it works. |

Ted, was there any specific reason(s) why you went with Rubicon Exp. over some
of the others? I will need to drive my Cherokee every day, so while I want to be
able to tackel 4+ rated trails, I would like to retain some street comfort too. |

| Actually my vehicle is a Commanche which is the same as your Cherokee in the front but different in the back. Rubicon is the only ones I found that could supply a lift specifically for the Commanche in the 4.5" range. Also Rubicon seemed to give the best components for the price such as replaceable Heim joints in the control arms. |

The most logical upgrade in transmission is going with the T-18. The T-18 is about 1.87" longer and was used between `72-`79. The only problem is that because of its well known granny gear that it is hard to find. Most big time rock-crawlers and off-roaders are buying.
good luck

i have an 83 cj7. i bolted down some 6*9`s to the rear wheel wells but they still got taken. if you decide to bolt some down, make sure to either put big enough washers around the bolts, or rig up one large metal band between the bolts. i just had the plain bolts and the bastards just rocked the boxes back and forth until they pulled the wood off the bolts.
for subs i have two eight inch bazookas mounted diagonally behind the rear seat. i built a little trunk over them to help with the sound quality. they sound especially good with the hard top up, and not too shabby with no top. probably the best bet is to buy some old ones at a pawn shop. mine were pretty old so i didnt mind drilling into the plastic bodies and bolting them to my makeshift trunk, then bolting my trunk to my wheel wells. if anybody wan`ts these (which they shouldn`t because they now are bolted to a board) they have their work cut out for them. the bottom line is the more bolting or locking you do, the less likely it is that someone will take the time to get caught trying to rob you. depending what you have now, just replacing the old speakers and putting in a strong head unit may make a world of difference. |

I`ve got a buddy that put a 2 inch `budget lift` on his TJ. Not sure of the manufacturer, but there are a number of them out there. Basically, it`s new spacers for the springs and new shocks. Ran about $200, if memory serves me. Rides the same as stock.
He later added a 2" body lift, and now runs 33s with no rubbing. Great lift for less than any spring kit would cost.

| Coming from someone who had more than $5000.00 in stereo equipment stolen from a 98TJ that I swore up and down was secure enough that my stereo equipment wouldn`t get stolen, don`t waste your time and money. Just upgrade the factory speakers with a higher quality type and be done with it. If someone wants your stuff bad enough nothing will stop them. Just remember every time those subs hit, you are giving out free advertising for every thief that hears them hitting. Later On 9/8/99 2:42:12 PM, A. Smith wrote:

You could put those 33s on your Jeep if you got the proper offset wheel and didn`t intend on ever taking it off of the pavement. If the tough look is what you are after, do it. The only drawback is you won`t be able to use that tough look offroad because you will rip your fender flares off when riding over a piece of gravel because your suspension travel will be limited by having only a inch or less of clearance between the tires and your fender flares/body. Just being honest with you.On 4/15/99 6:31:14 AM, Aaron wrote:

WHAT I'VE GOT IN MINE '99 IS A JL AUDIO 10W6 IN A PORTED ENCLOSURE. THE BOX COMES UP FLUSH WITH THE REAR WHEEL WELLS AND IS COVERED IN MATCHING CARPET. THIS GIVES IT AN ALMOST STEALTH INSTALL. AS FOR THE AMPS (ALPINE FOR MIDS & HIGHS, BOSTWICK FOR THE SUB) ALONG WITH AN AUDIO CONTROL 2XS X-OVER, ARE ALL MOUNTED UNDER THE BACK SEAT WITH A DUMMY COVER BOARD BETWEEN THE FLOOR AND THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT TO CONCEAL THE EQUIPMENT. AS FOR MIDS AND HIGHS, I HAVE POLK AUDIO 4X6 2-WAYS IN THE DASH & POLK AUDIO 6-1/2'S IN A FACTORY SOUND BAR. OF COURSE IT'S ALL PROTECTED BY A CODE-ALARM ELITE SERIES ALARM WITH A RADAR SENSOR TO GO OFF WHEN SOMEONE SO MUCH AS STICKS THEIR ARM IN THE VEHICLE. BUT JUST LIKE EVERYONE SAYS, IF THEY WANT IT BAD ENOUGH, THEY'RE GONNA GET IT NO MATTER WHAT. IT JUST DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH YOU WANT GREAT SOUND, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT, HOWEVER, I'M ALSO A CAR AUDIO INSTALLER.......

I have a 76 CJ5. I am currently running a wrangler spring over with ranco add-a-leaves. that gives me about the lift your looking for maybe less. I'm locked front and rear and run 33's. I put in a ford T18 easy're to find and buy around 1100 it comes with adapter for tcase and bolted straight in with minor mods to skid plate and floor board. In regards to your lift and tire size going that high you could probably blow it over short wheel base cj's are extremely top heavy if you go to high I know from experience have a few dents from tipping over. I personnly would not go that high on tires or lift. Also with t18 I had to buy new driveshafts stock ones do not fit after swap. cost another 600. My future project will be a bigger vehicle.

The most logical upgrade in transmission is going with the T-18. The T-18 is about 1.87" longer and was used between `72-`79. The only problem is that because of its well known granny gear that it is hard to find. Most big time rock-crawlers and off-roaders are buying.
good luck

I just installed a Rubibon 4.5" lift on a Cherokee but have not taken it on the trail yet. I was very impressed with the quality and looks of the components. Everything fit as it should and was much stronger looking than the stock stuff. |

| That dealer is full of crap. I got my 94 jeep cherokee country 4X4 with 110,000 for near that price. Plus from what I hear you really really really want to stay away from the V6 in the earlier jeep models. |

to drain the radiator, first make sure it is really cool (but you knew that). Next remove the grill and you will find it by the right (passenger) head light. don't forget to drain the block by pulling a freeze plug. replace it with a new one when done. to refill, fill the recovery bottle slowly and let it bubble away, fill some more and so on. start it up let it get warm (to open the thermostat) bottle will empty. refill when cool and so on. not tooooooooo hard. that's what i do (as per shop manual)

The radiator drain plug is acessed by removing the grille and is
on the right side of the radiator.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Well you can do like I did and just change the speakers in the front, buy a sound bar without speakers and put your own in, and as for a sub box you can either build your own to fit behind the rear seat, and then build an arch to go over the box and to both sides of the wheel tubs and bolt it down with two bolts trough the wells this will keep anyone from pulling it out, plus you can use the top as a self. I bolted on a Jeep cargo net on top to hold items like my map book! The only way for someone to steel my sub would be to open the tail gate. The Arch box keeps anyone from being able to flip the back seat foward, again only with the tail gate open can you do this! (even w/softop) The stereo I have is an Alpine w/ removable face, and when I go somewhere I either lock it in my tuffy console or you can put it in the back also, or even simply take it with you. The speakers I have in the front and in the sound bar have stock covers to trick theives! I have Boston Accoustics in both and a 12" JL Audio sub in rear and my Jeep rocks/thumps with the best of them! VERY LOUD! :) Sorry for going on so long though! |
