100 Watt bulbs draw about 7 amps each. 4 would be 28 amps so you would
need at least a 30 amp switch with a 40 or 50 being a better idea.

Just remember that to engineer a system to run 40 amps of current for
any distance you are in 8Ga wire on a single feed or 10Ga for 2 feeds
minimum.

I would recommend getting 30 amp relays as there isn't any real
difference in cost and allows upgrade to higher wattage bulbs later.

Hello,
I have some questions concerning SOA that I would like to perform in the future. I am looking to get 38's under my 95 YJ and still have enough room for the articulation. Right now, I have a 3 1/2" suspension lift (springs) and about 1-1 1/2" of lift from the shackles. I run 35's on this setup, and I get a little rubbing at full stuff. I am contemplating a SOA with the current springs and shackles. I would like to know if there are any problems doing a SOA conversion with lifted springs, or any special considerations I need to keep in mind. I'm already aware of the need to extend things (brake lines, CV drive shaft, front shaft, shocks, etc.) Any additional information would be appreciated.

I just finished putting the YJ's body up 1.5" to make room for the
NP435 tranny, which is a bit taller than the B/A-10 tranny. Anyways,
the lift went in relatively easy, the exception being the two mounts
behid the rear axle, just in front of the fuel tank. Make sure to
trim the fan shroud or mount it lower as well. It is a good idea to
soak the body mount bolts in WD-40 or Liquid Wrench about a week
prior to doing the lift, as it makes backing the bolts out really
easy, especially on a 14 year old jeep. Anyways, I am pleased with
the fit and finish of the kit and would recommend it to anyone
needing a bit more clearance versus going to town with the Sawz-All.

I've been trying to find the elusive 'clunk' that I hear in the front
end when hitting bumps. I've checked the upper/lower control arms,
track bar, tightened some loose swaybar bolts, and just about any
bolt I can see in the front end.. Not much difference..
Then I checked the motor mount on the left side, all bolts seem
tight. I check the right side and notice a loose bolt which actually
turns out to be busted halfway down the shaft. Its one of the three
that bolt to the engine. So now I have only 2 of 3 holding the engine
to the mount.
My question is how can you tell if the big rubber bushing is bad or
worn out? Also, how the heck do you get the remaining part of the
bolt out of the engine so I can replace it?
Is this gonna mean I need to drop the engine and have some shop pull
that bolt out? It sounds expensive..

Well, we got it done finally! After 3 weeks working on the jeeps, we
finally got my 1" BL on the 97TJ with help from my son Cody and a fellow
AZVJCer, Patrick Green from over in Show Low.
We did the "Hockey Puck Lift" for a total cost of under $20.00. We had
the old bolts out and the new ones in with the pucks in under an hour.
Then the fan shroud was lots of fun. We took the fan of at the 4 bolts
that hold it to the water pump. Then we could take the shroud out to
measure and cut the bottom where the bottom hose is in the way. One
additional note: On the drivers side of the shroud there is room to
measure and drill new holes in the shroud itself. On the passenger side
we measured and redrilled down about an 1 1/2" on the radiator. I
appreciate all the help from everyone on both list. Thanks guys!

100 Watt bulbs draw about 7 amps each. 4 would be 28 amps so you would
need at least a 30 amp switch with a 40 or 50 being a better idea.

I would recommend getting 30 amp relays as there isn't any real

Hi all....a few weeks back I asked if anyone in the group had or had
access to one of those books that lists chevy engine numbers so I
could tell exactly what parts to ask for when I go shopping.....A
couple of you responded, but my stored emails got thrashed and I cant
remember who....the numbers on the block (as far as I can tell) are:
35 GM
39 010
the "35" is actually sideways to the other numbers, parallel with the
cylinders and the others run across the upper rear of the block....
hopefully these are the numbers someone out there needs to give me
info I need....thanx in advance for the help....

Hello,
I have some questions concerning SOA that I would like to perform in the future. I am looking to get 38's under my 95 YJ and still have enough room for the articulation. Right now, I have a 3 1/2" suspension lift (springs) and about 1-1 1/2" of lift from the shackles. I run 35's on this setup, and I get a little rubbing at full stuff. I am contemplating a SOA with the current springs and shackles. I would like to know if there are any problems doing a SOA conversion with lifted springs, or any special considerations I need to keep in mind. I'm already aware of the need to extend things (brake lines, CV drive shaft, front shaft, shocks, etc.) Any additional information would be appreciated.

I just finished putting the YJ's body up 1.5" to make room for the
NP435 tranny, which is a bit taller than the B/A-10 tranny. Anyways,
the lift went in relatively easy, the exception being the two mounts
behid the rear axle, just in front of the fuel tank. Make sure to
trim the fan shroud or mount it lower as well. It is a good idea to
soak the body mount bolts in WD-40 or Liquid Wrench about a week
prior to doing the lift, as it makes backing the bolts out really
easy, especially on a 14 year old jeep. Anyways, I am pleased with
the fit and finish of the kit and would recommend it to anyone
needing a bit more clearance versus going to town with the Sawz-All.

Subject: Motor mount woes on XJ..
I've been trying to find the elusive 'clunk' that I hear in the front
end when hitting bumps. I've checked the upper/lower control arms,
track bar, tightened some loose swaybar bolts, and just about any
bolt I can see in the front end.. Not much difference..
Then I checked the motor mount on the left side, all bolts seem
tight. I check the right side and notice a loose bolt which actually
turns out to be busted halfway down the shaft. Its one of the three
that bolt to the engine. So now I have only 2 of 3 holding the engine
to the mount.
My question is how can you tell if the big rubber bushing is bad or
worn out? Also, how the heck do you get the remaining part of the
bolt out of the engine so I can replace it?
Is this gonna mean I need to drop the engine and have some shop pull
that bolt out? It sounds expensive..
:(

Subject: Body Lift
Well, we got it done finally! After 3 weeks working on the jeeps, we
finally got my 1" BL on the 97TJ with help from my son Cody and a fellow
AZVJCer, Patrick Green from over in Show Low.
We did the "Hockey Puck Lift" for a total cost of under $20.00. We had
the old bolts out and the new ones in with the pucks in under an hour.
Then the fan shroud was lots of fun. We took the fan of at the 4 bolts
that hold it to the water pump. Then we could take the shroud out to
measure and cut the bottom where the bottom hose is in the way. One
additional note: On the drivers side of the shroud there is room to
measure and drill new holes in the shroud itself. On the passenger side
we measured and redrilled down about an 1 1/2" on the radiator. I
appreciate all the help from everyone on both list. Thanks guys!
