Q: Is adding a suspension/lift kit to a jeep wrangler safe?
Hi i just bought a used 1998 Jeep Wrangler and im planning on putting a 4” suspension lift kit on it. What my main concern is before i install it is; does the lift produce any risk to my safety in the car? Or does the lift add a chance of the car tipping over? Any suggestions on what size tires to use with this lift would be helpful also.

A: Wow Don.. way to completely make up your own facts. Wranglers are made for off-roading. Adding a 4″ lift is probably the best decision he could make! You really think it would roll if he went off a steep shoulder?! Hell with a little practice he could probably take a 2 foot shoulder drop off like a pro. Get out of here with your douchebaggery. Wranglers are incredibly safe. If you have half a brain-stem and are capable of basic bodily processes such as breathing, then you are more than qualified to safely drive a Wrangler.

Q: What can I do to fix my clutch on a 1994 Jeep Wrangler?

I have a 1994 Jeep Wrangler and when it is put into gear and let go of; the clutch seems to fail to grasp the gear and the Jeep wont drive forw. & rev.

A: Not often that a cluch goes out completly/suddenly…
Was there any warning? (high engine revs with little movement)

First check… Is the transfer case in neutral?

Does the engine lug down at all?
Do you hear any grinding from the tranny?
Can you shift all the way into ALL the gears or does the stick stop part way?
Is the driveline still attached.

Q: Where can I rent a Jeep Wrangler or an SUV with offroad tires in the inland empire area?
I need to rent a Jeep Wrangler or something similar and a pickup, both 4WD, both with offroad tires, and I’m having trouble finding a rental agency that can help.

A: I know you can get one in Moab, but that’s 2 days drive. If you can’t find something local, maybe try the Death Valley area – there might be something around there. Not much available as far as what you’re looking for, good luck.

Try contacting a 4×4 club in the area, you may not be able to rent anything, but you might find somebody willing to take you where you need to go. I presume that you don’t intend to do anything illegal here

Q: How to tell a your starter is the problem and is it easy to replace on a 1999 Jeep Wrangler?
I have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler and I believe the starter just went out. The engine doesn’t turn anymore and when it did, it would have a low cranking sound. ( like it didn’t want to turn on) Now it has like a burning smell when the key is turned. It that the starter? If so is it easy to replace? (a buddy says it is a just a couple of bolts) I have the truck lifted so it is easy to operate under the vehicle.

A: Yes, usually you have only 2 bolts holding on a starter. However, don’t go out and buy a starter. Disconnect your battery and then remove your starter. If you’ve removed the wires from the starter, reattach them and your battery cables. Turn the key as starting the car and watch for the heavy gear in the starter. That gear should consistently move forward and spin when you crank the engine. If so, your starter should be fine. HOWEVER, sometimes the starter gear will not advance far enough to engage the flywheel properly. When this happens you will hear grinding from the heavy starter gear grinding on your flywheel. When this happens, it will break off pieces of your flywheel. Should you stop your engine with the broken pieces of the flywheel are located and you engage the starter, there are not enough teeth left at that point of your flywheel and you will just hear grinding.

However, it takes at least 9.5 volts to start an engine. You may be getting enough juice to make the gear in your starter advance, but not enough juice to spin the flywheel. Should this be the case, remove your battery cables and clean them thoroughly, and I don’t mean with baking soda or coca cola. Just because you don’t see that “white stuff” on your battery terminals, doesn’t mean they don’t need cleaned. They are made of lead. Scrape the terminal with a knife and see how shiny it becomes. That small bit of corrosion CAN prevent it from make a good enough connection to deliver 9.5 volts to the engine, but everything else will work okay, i.e., radio, headlights, etc.

As for the burning smell, check the coverning on both your positive and negative cables.

Q: How do i get the serpentine belt to stay on my 97 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L?
97 Jeep wrangler 2.5L. The serpentine belt keeps slipping off whenever I am turning a corner and giving it gas. I’ve replaced the belt once due to fraying when it slipped off the first time, but the new one has slipped numerous times in the past month. I’ve tightened the tension pulley and it still slips off. I have upgraded to 30″ tires from 28″, and i think that might be putting strain on the power steering pump. Any help would be appreciated.

A: get another brand new belt as once they slip off there stretched and no good and also get a new belt tensioner.

Q: Where can I buy a spare tire for my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
Someone stole the spare tire in the back of my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2007 (both rim and tire). I have the 18 inch aluminum wheels. Where can I buy another for cheap?

A: Junkyards, Ebay and Craigslist for a stock rim. You could get a cheap steel wheel in the correct size and go with that, probably about $100 or less. It wouldn’t effect the way the thing drove with it on, it would be a little heavier than the stock aluminum wheel, but the difference would be negligible. The opposite of a doughnut spare.

It would look ugly, but hit up a dealer that has branded covers on their Jeeps and see if you can talk them into giving you one or selling you one REALLY cheap. At my last lot we would sell them for $10 bucks if the cheap boss was in or let customers have one. Free advertising.

Next thing is invest in 3 lugs that require a ‘key’ (special socket attachment) to get off. Three of them will deter thieves, while one may not.

Q: Time needed to take off a Jeep Wrangler Soft top?
I have a 97 Jeep Wrangler with a factor soft top. Its suppose to get to 92 degrees this weekend and I want to take off my softtop. Problem is typical California weather means overcast months coming ahead.

How long does it “typically” take to take off and re-install a soft-top on a Jeep Wrangler? If its a major pain in the butt, I’ll wait and do it one time for the whole summer.

A: I can take mine off in 5 minutes and put it back on in 10 minutes,the biggest thing is make sure the zippers work easy.Keep the zippers clean and oiled and you won’t have any trouble,there is also a certain procedure to putting the top back on that will make it faster.Have you ever taken the top off before?If you would like e-mail me and I will give you the best way to put the top back on,removal is easy.

Q: Where can i get zipper work done on my Jeep Wrangler YJ Upper Soft Windows? In Northern Virginia?
So the zipper thing came off and a bunch of the little teeth are missing too. Where can i take it so it could get repaired? I have a 1993 Jeep wrangler YJ.

A: Probably your best and least expensive option would be to take it to a dry cleaners that also does alterations, or a tailor shop. be sure to take the canvas off the frames, and then just ask them to replace the zipper. they will replace the whole thing for you, or just the zipper head. or you can probably find a cheap replacement window on www.4wd.com they are the only place i go for my jeep stuff!!
