I currently own a 1990 Jeep YJ islander edition and the best thing I ever did to the straight 6 was install a howell fuel injection system eliminated all that smog crap and made it legal for California. Best deal ever just hand tools were needed. Took me about 2 hours to install the whole closed loop fuel system

Thank you. I've been trying to find out how to do this. A few years ago, I saw a KZbin video of a guy that built a homemade welding block that would also rev up the motor as you start to weld.

For DC welding, it's best to use electrode negative. Meaning the "ground" clamp woud actually go to the alternator and the stinger (rod holder) would go to your hood pin. It will help the rod burn smoothly and will prevent those balls forming close to the weld. But this was an amazing project and thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

now to find european equivalents. woiuld 4 isopropyl, 4 odorless mineral spirits, 1 chainsaw oil work just the same?

You are blowing minds, young man! 😮

Good info here! Thanks bunches and loads!

Hi Robert 💓💓💓

How did i live without this???

I'm confident you will find enough to keep busy!

Keepin' it real, Bub 💯❤️😍

Would it be possible to remove a transmission, replace it with a very powerful generator capable of stalling the motor at any moment regulated by an inverter which supplies power directly to a pair of drive motors which only turn off as soon as there is low acceleration demand at highway speeds, at which a high gear is engaged? The torque of first gear would be available at all speeds but with the added bonus of avoiding fhe low efficiency of electric drive at highway speeds. What would be even cooler is a kit that is able to fit the same generator or something close to it, if it could ever fit, where the fly wheel goes(yeah not likely but worth a mention), which is able to take place of downshifts at highway speeds, which would provide the afore mentioned torque of first gear at highway speeds. These two ideas are about the equivalent of batteryless hybrid drive trains, which are probably capable of being provided in the form of a kit. Perhaps this idea has no relevance as there very well may be something along the same lines as an e-cvt that is adapted to function without a battery, as would provide for mechanical drive, electric drive, and a mix of both at any applicable moment, instead of what i have proposed before this particular statement. Whatever works best, i would love to see the closest thing we can get to making an e-cvt designed to function without batteries in order to supplement the efficiency and power of cars that do not have them. What do you think?

I recently acquired a 91 YJ I am also doing routine maintenance new brakes lines tune up fluid changes but I'm saving thousands of dollars by doing all the work myself my wife got it for me and it's going to be my daily driver it has 182,000 mi on it and I love it

How flammable is it compared to real WD40?

Thanks!

Lovin' your channel ❤

So rad!

Wow!

Good job

Thank you!

jeep YJ is my absolute favorite, square headlights are the TITS!!

Thats pretty cool. What hardener did you use ?

Love the desert/sunset colors! It turned out great!

Nice if it looks good at 40 or so feet its a great jeep paint job. Nice work thanks for sharing

I love how you did the white and black, I think it looks like a brand new Jeep now.

Very nice. What made you go with the engine swap? Also, how did you get your softop to be more low profile like that? Maybe I missed something in the video

Well this settles it. Never using bedliner lol

Just discovered your channel and subscribed! I recently purchased my first wrangler (1990 YJ) and it isn't perfect, but I have been working on it and now have the 258ci (4.2L) running great! Previous owners had done some nice updates but didn't set things up properly. They had installed a Weber 32/36, an HEI distributor and a new radiator. It ran really rough, but I have been fixing several vacuum leaks, got the carb adjusted properly and set the timing that was way off. Runs great now and so much fun to drive! Thanks for starting the database/google doc. I saved it and look forward to seeing that info grow. I need some retractable seat belts for mine and noticed in one of your other videos you had good luck using Ranger floor buckles so I may have a look at the shoulder/lap belt from a ranger and see if that will work for me. Thanks for putting some of this info together and sharing it. If I find something I think others would like to know about, I'll be sure to share it with you and others here.

Great idea thanks for sharing

Once again thank you just ordered some now I have the confidence to do it

Love the horn. Just got a 92 YJ and I totally got bitten by the bug

how did u make that rpm knob thing?

Instead of lighter fluid, i use grain alcohol, or 'left overs' from the still... my friends all HATE the taste of lighter fluid on the BBQ

Just use autologic one touch power windowbox like I did, kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZuvm2eQnJiqpKs

I love the Paint stripping chemicals being applied and no p. P. E being worn to protect yourself and tissue from being eaten by the strippers.

Maybe worth mentioning that you can swap an ax15 5spd tranny from a mid-late yj or tj as a replacement to the shitty 87-89 Peugeot BA10 tranny in the early yjs.

I need 72V to charge some batteries, can i just use a solar mppt charger rted at 100A , and put the output from the mppt charger to the field winding, to keep the voltage at 72v, or do i need a higher dc voltage for the field? i think i need between 45 and 60V ac for the mppt charger, would this also work?

What size drill bit and tap did you use for the new vent hole?

use the hammer, not the clamp!

I did not see a welding unit, is this a direct connection welder, or did I miss something?

Interesting and impressive, thanks.

Sweet thanks bro for the info

So you went from 3 factory lacthing points. With almost impossible failure. To 2 that are only as strong as the metal between the latches an the oring that holds it. Makes total sense.

I have a 1995 rio grande. I added a turbo, shackle reversal, and 2.5 inch lift with new springs bushings etc. Put on a new bestop top and I also sourced a reman ax5 for it. When the weather clears up the steering is getting overhauled with all moog parts. Also just installed a 12k lb winch and tube rear bumper. Purchased a new fold and tumble back seat and new orange seatbelts. Slowly she's getting there. I love my old Jeep.

I love this idea. I’ve thought about removing my line lock, but maybe I’ll keep it and just add this as a secondary system

I have an alternator that have 4 stater poles ,,yours is a 3 pole,,, what do I do with the forth pole?

Altering an Alternator. 😂 Good job.

Awesome solution. Going to have to look into this for my D60 crawler.

So is this considered a rideon gas powered welder

i just bought a motorcycle and the tank is coated in it if i do this will it fuck up the paint underneath?

Any chance I could pay you to put one together for my 1999 f 250 7.3 power stroke
