I just emailed Genright about being #3 on the list. I asked if the YJ fenders work for a CJ also, as they ( afore mentioned ) no longer have much for CJs. I remember those were interchangeable back in the day when people were disguising YJs with front sheet metal CJ parts, but not sure if...

I might be persuaded to hop on the list. Genright has taken most CJ stuff off of their site at this point. Any pictures of how the aluminum corner guards look? Do they offer a paper template to cut out the factory wheel openings with the tool of your choosing?

No idea, but my ‘81 left the factory with those, from what I can tell.

They came out pretty easily. There was one factory sleeve per bracket. Welds were likely from the tow hitch that was once welded on. Thanks everyone!

A random bumper made of round tubing. There was also a tow hitch welded on below the bumper and to the frame at the wheel wells. The new bumper will be a Warn rock crawler. Sounds like I can ditch the inner L brackets - I think the Warn has outer frame L brackets that bolt on.

Cutting out the old one next week, and installing the Classic reproduction. My ‘81 has L brackets poorly welded inside the frame rails. Does anyone know if this is factory? Most welds look like crap, so hard to tell.

Just cut one off with a grinder/cut off wheel and tapped it off when it was a hair shy of the column. It split and fell right off.

As I continue with rustoration, I pulled the column for de-rusting and paint. Everything is apart, and looks good except the two upper bearings were very dry. The ignition assembly worked fine, etc, but 42 years called for maintenance. What grease does everyone swear by? I cannot figure out a...

Perfect! I didn’t see that page on their site. Thank you.

I’m sure Rancho still makes something, but there is nothing on their website. Does anyone know the part number for an RS5000 or RS5000x that would work with 4” lift and 3/4” lift shackles. I have some rear 4” springs from my ‘76 CJ-5, and the skyjacker fronts 4” are cheap to get. It looks like...

I had the same idea, but ended up finding out the entire area was rusted away inside, so you might want to plan on replacing more of the metal than you anticipate.

It looks like the hole for the windshield washer fluid hose was used for the YJ clutch rod in the photo from Ron. I have a factory knockout that sat under the stiffening plate, next to the rectangle for the fuse block, so I’ll probably drill that out on the plate. You can see the studs from the...

That’s a huge help! I was looking all over YJ threads and builds, etc. I need to re-attach the support plate in the engine bay, so it’s good to figure that out now and drill my holes before paint.

Here is another photo with the assembly mocked up, and the rod haphazardly stuck inside the opening for the fuse block. My best guess is up high, but I really am just taking a guess.

I ended up buying the brace, as I’m running out of time to get the Jeep back on the road for summer. Does anyone have a measurement and/or picture they can provide? Just about everything else is in place and getting painted soon.

It looks like the bearings are available as Omix re-boxed Torrington. I ordered the brass bushings, but I might opt for the bearings. Hoping to pull the CJ and YJ assemblies apart this afternoon to compare what is in there. I took a look at the later YJ pedal assembly, and it’s obvious how much...

There are two things to be gained with the YJ swap: (1) Power brakes which my Scrambler never had (2) Hydraulic clutch. I went YJ because the assemblies are easy to find and fairly cheap. I just found a brake switch with bolt and bushings online, as it seems the ‘87 to ‘90 uses the old full...

Chamba, thanks for the help. Am I correct in thinking the brace for the clutch master is # 4 in the diagram? I need to drill out for the hydraulic master and am performing sheet metal replacement and rust repair right now anyway.

Pictured from left: 1981 CJ non-power brake T4 pedal assembly 1987 YJ manual pedal assembly 1995 YJ manual pedal assembly I have not performed this swap, and inadvertently ended up with both 87 and 95 pedals. The 87 looks the same as the CJ but with lighter spring for the hydraulic clutch and...

Your exhaust manifold should have an 02 sensor. I replaced mine after a long soak in penetrating fluid, and it made a marginal improvement. I ended up rebuilding the carburetor and it fixed all of the idle and drivability issues. One idle mixture screw was backed all the way out and the other...
