Q: What is wrong with my 1998 Jeep Wrangler?
I have a 1998 Jeep Wrangler and lately when Im on the brake or in park my RPMS seem to rev up between 1,000 and 2,000. It does this when Im not on the gas which I am thinking is not normal. Why would it be doing this? I recently had a rebuilt motor, transmission and brand new radiator put in.

Why would it be doing this? I recently had a rebuilt motor, transmission and brand new radiator put in. I also at times seem to be leaking a lot of water…not sure if this is related to the other problem or not or what this is all on its own as well?
There is A/C in it and I did seem to have some issues with that this summer…i would have it on high at times and it wouldnt even seem to blow out at all…but this was only sometimes cause it worked fine sparatically.
A: you need to look for a vacum hose leak anywhere under the hood it will register lean to the o2 sensor and it will raise the idle to compensat for the aditional air in the system
Q: Can you get a soft top Jeep Wrangler car washed?
I have a 4 door Jeep Wrangler (2007) and was wondering if I can take it through a car wash or will the roof leak?
A: Of course you can wash it… But the harsh chemicals of the automatic car washes should be avoided. Over prolonged time it could possibly lead to discoloration.. I will only go through automatic car washes when i have my hard top on… When my jeep is in soft-top form I either hand wash it or go to the quarter car wash … I only spray soap , soap brush and rinse and spot free rinse on the top itself… I also use some cleaners available at auto parts stores specifically for it… Mine is four years old and still looks brand new minus a few scratches on the windows from Mesquite trees.. I would also say if your Jeep is leaking when going through a car wash they may be covered under your warranty still…
Q: Does anyone know what size wrench is needed to remove the nuts from the door hinge on a Jeep Wrangler?
I bought a 04 Jeep Wrangler 2 months ago. Its getting warmer so I want to take the doors off? Does anybody know the size of the wrench needed to take the nuts off the door hinge? Also does fuse 4 disable all lights inside the jeep when the doors are open?
A: Try your wrenches untill 1 fits…. The fuse I wouldnt pull. There is a wire going to the door switch, pull it off of both sides and the Jeep will never know if the doors are open or closed. Beware that at night this sux cuz there are no lights for the key hole etc…
Q: Should I get a Jeep Wrangler for my first car?
I am doing a little research on Jeep Wrangler YJ’s for my first car and I was wondering if I could get some info on them. I know about the storage space, and that isn’t an issue. So just let me know what you think.
A: Your money, get what you want. But I’ve owned Jeeps all my life.
Q: How long should a Jeep Wrangler Clutch last?
I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0 cylinder engine and a 5 speed manual transmission. It has 54,000 miles on it. I am having trouble with the clutch and the mechanic that I use is telling me I need to replace the clutch. Is this common for the clutch to go up after 54,000 miles? How long should a clutch last?
A: There really is no right answer as clutch life is dependent on too many things…how is it driven,towing,highway vs. stop n go, etc. I’ve had clutches last 300k but if I tried I’m sure I could burn one out in a couple minutes. That said an average jeep clutch should last at least 100k if not abused.
Q: How to lift a jeep wrangler just a few inches?
ok so ive heard of spacers but i dont know exactly what they are…and is that the best way to go if im only wanting 2 more inches…where can i find spacers for a 1999 jeep wrangler sport
A: Check out quadratec.com and use their Lift Kit Advisor. You can find the exact lift you want. they have plenty of spacer lifts to choose from. Get a kit with the spacers and shocks because you need the longer shocks and there is no sense in buying the spacers and shocks seperately. Some kits even give a PDF installation guide on their quadratec page so you can see what it would be like to install one yourself (unless you are taking it to a specialty shop). Skyjacker has a great 2 inch lift.
http://www.quadratec.com/advisor/jeep_lift_kits/selection.php?y=1999 all you have to do here is select the tire size you want to be able to fit on the jeep or the lift size you want. a 2 inch lift will allow you to fit 31″x10.5″ tires comfortably. you can fit 32″x11.5″ if you have proper backspacing on your wheels. (if you go with the skyjacker kit, you will have to choose between nitro and hydro shocks. I dont think there is much of a difference between them so just go with the hydro. they are a few bucks cheaper)
A suspension lift is the way to go. dont do a body lift.

Q: why is it so difficult to find jeep wrangler YJ full hard doors?
i have a 91 jeep wrangler with the standard half doors and i want to get full hard doors for my car but for some reason they are next to impossible to find, unless im looking in the wrong places. i live in NJ btw. i have looked at the hard upper half jeep doors but realized i didnt like em at all. just wanna simply find full wrangler YJ doors for my car. any help would be appreciated.
A: Because 1996 was the last year the YJ was produced.
I see them for sale on Craigslist all the time with hard tops. Most people do not want to get rid of their factory doors and keep them. You can also find them on e-bay. They are not cheap and aftermarket doors are fugly!
Q: Questions about a 91 and an 89 jeep wrangler?
My boyfriend has a 91 jeep wrangler and he needs a new tail pipe maybe muffler and he found one at pick ‘n’ pull but its an 89. Would the 89 tail pipe/muffler fit a 91?
A: If the ‘89 is the 4.2L and the ‘91 is a 4.0L engine then the tail pipe should be interchangeable.
However, if one is a 4 cyl. (2.5L) and the other is a 6 cyl. (4.2L/4.0L) then they probably won’t swap out.
The muffler should not be a problem if the Jeeps are both 4cyl. or both 6 cyl.
Hope this helps.
Q: can I use a 1994 track bar on my 1989 jeep wrangler?
I need a track bar for my 1989 jeep wrangler and have the opportunity to get one from a 1994 jeeep. Will it work?

Q: Can I buy a remote on/off switch for my Jeep Wrangler off road lights besides buying a remote car starter?
I want to add off road lights on my Jeep Wrangler and I would like to be able to turn them on/off remotely without having to buy a whole car starter kit. My wife and I sit in the woods at our property at night around a campfire and there are times we need to light up the area. I would like to be able to do this without getting up and walking all the way over to where the car is parked.
A: See if this is what you’re looking for..

Q: What is the best year for the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon?
I’m getting the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and i’m wondering what is the best off-roading year for it is. I don’t like the new ones very much 07, 08, 09 so count those out.
thx for your help.
A: You are not alone in not being a fan of the latest wrangler design.
A rubicon is a trim package that may not be worth it for you if you have a garage and a set of tools. You might be better off buying a bone-stock 97-99 wrangler with the 4.0 and a 5-speed and putting a couple grand into it yourself. The only real difference in a rubicon is the dana 44 axles, and air lockers. Lockers help, but you really don’t need 44’s unless you plan on running 36 inch tires on it with a long-arm lift and a v8 conversion.
06 is the best year, with the 5 speed.
expect to pay about ten thousand extra for an 06 rubicon, over a 97 or 98 wrangler 4.0. Ten grand buys a lot of mods.
Q: Does anyone know where i can rent a 4 door jeep wrangler in LA?
Im going to LA with 4 mates and we really want to be in one car. The problem is we also want the car to be open-top so there are not that many cars that will fit us and our bags! A jeep wrangler would do it (4 door – 2 door would be too small) Does anyone know where i can rent one? – BHrentacar have them but the wont answer my emails which is strange really as usually car rental companies like to rent cars!
If not can anyone suggest an affordable alternative?
Thanks
A: Hertz
Q: where can in find replacement windows for a soft-top jeep wrangler?
I don’t need to buy a new soft-top for my 2004 jeep wrangler rubicon, just the zipper-installed side and back windows. They seem hard to find without purchasing the entire soft-top.
A: Bestop are the OEM soft top manufacturer for Jeep. Anywhere that sells Bestop should be able to supply the window kit you need. Bestop part numbers are 58128-35 for the Black Diamond kit and 58128-36 for the Khaki Diamond kit.
Q: where is the best place to look for a jeep wrangler crankshaft kit with bearings for an ‘87 wrangler?
need to find the cheaper of the two. Rebuilt engine with fewer than 89,000 miles or cankshaft kit with bearings for an ‘87 Jeep wrangler.
A: Well your question is kind of confusing. A rebuilt engine with less than 89,000 miles? If it is a rebuilt engine, it would have 0 miles on it. If you are talking about a used engine,then of course a salvage yard is the place to go.
The problem with a salvage yard engine is all salvage yard engine is you really have no idea how many miles are on it, or how well it was maintained. Of course the salvage yard owner is always happy to tell you the engine they are selling came out of a low mileage car. Maybe it did. But you don’t know. You also don’t know how many oil changes were done in those miles.
If you are wanting a remanufactured engine or the crankshaft kit, I always reccomend a machine shop. I prefer those over a parts house. Simply because the person who remanufactured the engine or reground the crankshaft is actually on the premises of the machine shop. His reputation (and job) is at stake. You can expect to get a nice quality engine or crankshaft at a local machine shop. Purchasing one at a parts house is not always a safe bet. Since the parts house is usually the third party, the burden of proof is on you should something go wrong with it. You are dealing with the parts house, who in turn is dealing with the supplier when something goes wrong. These engines are usually built on an assembly line with minimum wage employees.
Q: What size lift should I get for 32″ tires on a 05 Jeep Wrangler?
I want to throw some 32″ tires on my automatic 05 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I have stock rims with 30×9.5 on there right now. Should I get a 2″ lift and will the tires fit my stock rims?
A: for wranglers, 32″ should have 3″ of lift to allow for articulation.
