thanks for the info, Ron

Where'd you find them?

The 90 had a "standard' style jeep roll bar. Later model YJ's had a "family" style bar. They can be swapped between years. If you have a family style bar, any later model bikini top should fit. I've never tried to use a bikini plus top on an old style roll bar. good luck, Ron

I've done the larger alternator, battery, winch, cage, CB, fire extinguisher, air compressor with tank, extra charging points. That's a nice looking willys, I have more mods, let me know if I can help, Ron

Ben Cleveland is absolutely rite. That type of prep will help you prevent bad things from happening. Ron

If you are staying spring under the axle, early full size Cherokee/wagoner had 44 front axles. they were 60.5" wide and is almost a bolt in. I narrowed a full width jeep truck front axle for my YJ. What's the track width of a jeepster? I'll try to answer your questions as best as I can...

In my dutch oven, my favorite thing is black berry cobbler. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cast-iron-cobbler-with-louisiana-blackberries-and-sassy-sauce-5437365

I built a m416 ish trailer to carry my camping gear on and off road. I used 2x2x1/8 tubing for the frame, it's strong and helps manage the weight. I used a 3500# axle with electric brakes. I don't know about other axles but I could get drums with a matching wheel bolt pattern. I used a...

Great choice for a truck, Really nice work. Personally I'd keep the fender with the ax marks. That's my favorite year chevy truck. Ron

The guys I run with do 6.5:1 gears in the transfer case, spring over axle, disc brake conversion on the rear axle, lunch box lockers, 31-33" tires and then they climb anything in sight. Along with wheel base don't overlook width, 2" more width can help a lot with stability in off camber...

A Sami will yield a lot of offroad performance for a small amount of money. There's 4 or 5 in the offroad club I belong to, Ron

I did a shackle reversal from WFO concepts, and stayed spring under the axles with 3.5" leaf springs. The axles are stock width. It's a lot of fun, I drove it to Colorado springs last year and picked up a new frame for it. I can run 70 mph on the road, when you drop the tire pressure to 12...

Greaman is right on point. I have followed 4runners built similar to my YJ wrangler and it performed better than my jeep in certain areas. I personally like my Yj due to short wheel base, but I also use a trailer for camping. Ron

I inflated 6 tires, with a short break in between each. On #7 the magic smoke came out of the motor. After that I bought a dual ARB compressor and have had no problems. Good Luck, Ron

I added more berries than called for, it called for 12 oz, I added another 6. It took less than 20 minutes to cook. I didn't do the sassy sauce. It was really good. Ron

New black berry cobbler recipe, Ron https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cast-iron-cobbler-with-louisiana-blackberries-and-sassy-sauce-5437365

Last time I was snow camping it wasn't part of the big plan. It was April in Ohio at my 4x4 clubs novice ride. That being said, I'd like to plan as snow camping/trail riding trip, Ron

I started carrying mine again as another option. Pulling one way with my winch and another with the hi-lift. Ron

Well, it looks like I'm off to the LODGE web site again, Ron.

The technology advances in heat transfer alone in 20+ years makes any upgrade worth it, within reason. An all aluminum radiator will allow more heat transfer, auxiliary transmission coolers will do the same. An engine oil cooler will help stabilize coolant temperatures as well. Another upgrade...
