    Instrument panel bulbs.. LED's anyone?

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R9VW9HY?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5_1&th=1 I initially bought these as a budget-friendly option and didn't expect much, but they make a significant difference. I can actually see the gauges at night now! I was so impressed that I immediately bought a...

    Navajo Brake Booster Replacement

    Kasier8, as far as I know, the 8" dual booster is a custom part that was never used as an OEM part on anything. It is very common in the aftermarket, I see them all over at car shows. A-Team Performance is selling an 8-inch booster like Navajo on Amazon, but I have never used it personally...

    Seeking axle advice

    1987-1991 Grand Wagoneer had centered rear axles and would be the same width with drums. 1991-1995 Isuzu Rodeo/Honda Passport had a rear Dana 44 too, that is around the same width, centered, and had disc brakes.

    Seeking axle advice

    Your probably right that it all came from a single donor vehicle. My guess is a late 70's fullsize jeep based on the axles. Also looks like a Dana 20 transfer case, but hard to tell. Assuming a TH400 for a transmission. All of that plus a 360 would suggest one vehicle. The front spring perches...

    Headlight switch

    I agree that the aftermarket is poor quality for headlight switches. I went through a few. My dash lights only work on a very limited spot of the dimmer. I don't think there is a good solution other than to find a good original.

    Booster push rod adjustment

    The rod definitely comes out, it does not go all the way through the booster. If the rod went through the booster it would be direct drive on master which wouldn't boost anything. As you can see in your picture (post #15), it only goes half way. Here is a picture of a non-adjustable output rod...

    Booster push rod adjustment

    Why can you only lengthen it? Assuming it is threaded, couldn't you thread it further. Then cut it down. Like shortening a bolt.

    Alaskan Postal Scrambler/World Cab - count/registry - help build the list

    I don't know, but I went down a rabbit hole tonight. There are 28 listed VIN’s, or 12 percent of the total built. They range from 19628-19838. If the VIN’s are sequential (my guess is they are), that range covers 210 vehicles! That is very close to the 230. I cannot find a 1984 with a VIN in...

    Best Brake Upgrade on the market?

    Isn't the A-Team Performance an 8" booster? Still a nice setup. Same amount of room for a hydraulic clutch master cylinder on the YJ bracket as the CJ bracket. A lot more YJ's had factory hydraulic clutches over CJ's.

    Best Brake Upgrade on the market?

    Focus on the master not the wheels. The calipers can only do with the volume and pressure the master gives them. Here is the list of parts that I've used: YJ bracket booster bracket 1988 S10 9" dual diaphragm brake booster 1980 FSJ 1-1/8" master cylinder (with disc/drum) PRE7486 -...

    Voodoo Blue 82 Complete Refresh

    Several years ago I could not get a windshield seal that would actual NOT leak. Someone recommended swapping to a YJ windshield because the YJ windshield is glued in. I've been running a CJ motor (with the YJ arm) on a YJ linkage, in a YJ windshield frame, for more than a decade without that...

    Clifford 6=8 intake and dual carb problems

    Most hydroboost units can be clocked to any angle. Mounting it upside down will put the nitrogen accumulator completely out of the way. Crockodotsky, I put a 2003 Chevy 2500 setup on the 258 in my J10. I used the Chevy pump (with the Jeep V-belt pulley), hydroboost unit, and all the stock...
