Expert Answers about Jeep YJ


  • Fit of Erickson # EM59505 on Bumper of 1995 Jeep Wrangler With Out Drilling
  • The Erickson Bolt-On Tow Hook you mentioned, part # EM59505 is a universal, not a vehicle specific application. The hook would mount using 1/2 inch holes spaced 1-3/8 inches apart on center. If your bumper on your 1995 YJ has holes that match, you would be able to mount the hook without drilling. We do offer some vehicle specific tow hooks, but nothing specific for the 1995 YJ.

The black denim color you referenced has a 23 oz fabric weight.

  • How The Detail K2 Custom Mounting Brackets Effect Ground Clearance/Approach Angle
  • I contacted the manufacturer on your behalf for additional detail. The Custom Mounting Brackets for Detail K2 Snowplows # K284115 help provide good ground clearance to avoid curbs via the 2-point brackets designed to fit close to your vehicle without protruding beyond bumper The ideal distance from the ground to mount is in the neighborhood of 9-18" and these brackets help to prevent the plow back end from sitting too high by a few inches more to provide more clearance.

  • Half Door Upper Slider Windows for Jeep YJ with Hard Top
  • I have a solution for you, but the Bestop Upper Door Sliders # B5178515 are designed to be used with soft tops only (because of the square corners). The issue you're going to run into is that the factory YJs that came with hard tops almost always had full doors on them- so there aren't many products available that were designed with hard tops/half doors in mind. With that being said, you can use the Best Top Upper Door Sliders # B5178615, which have the rounded corners that allow them...

  • Trailer Wiring Fit Recommendation for a 1990 Jeep Wranngler
  • For a 1990 Jeep Wrangler the trailer wiring harness you would need is the part # 18252. The part # C55356 that you referenced is for newer Wranglers and would not work for you. The 1986 through 1995 Wranglers were the YJ generation. Your is a 1990 so that would be what you have. The CJ series is an older version of a similar vehicle but it is definitely not what you have.

  • Trailer Wheel Pilot Hole Diameter is Too Small for New Hub and Drum Assemblies
  • If the pilot hole on the wheel was larger than 4-3/4 inches, and the wheel is center on the hub using the lug nut rather than wheel bolts, it would not matter. But since the wheel pilot hole is smaller, you will not be able to use the hubs you purchased without also replacing the wheels. I went out to the warehouse and measured a Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly, # 42866UC3, to determine the diameter of the center portion that goes through the pilot hole of the wheel. Using some digital dial...

  • Converter Recommendation for 1987 Jeey YJ for Adding Third Brake Light
  • What you need is a signal converter like the part # 118158 that you referenced. This will wire to your vehicle wiring that has the turn signals and stop light circuit on the same wire so that you can separate them out to get a dedicated stop light circuit.

  • Will The Bestop Upper Door Sliders # B5178615 Fit a Hard-Top 1994 Jeep YJ?
  • The Bestop Upper Door Sliders # B5178615 will fit your 1994 Jeep YJ that has a hard top on it, but since these are designed to match soft top vehicles, it won't seal properly. Our contacts at Bestop have told us that the door will close though. We unfortunately do not carry door sliders that will properly seal with your hard-top 1994 Jeep YJ.

  • Recommend Hanger Kit For A 3,500 Lb. Tandem Axle Car Hauler
  • If this was my personal trailer. I would first start with the trailer's axles. As you mentioned a need for 3,500 lbs axles, I recommend using the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes part # e43SR. In addition to the dual Dexter axles and 1-3/4" leaf springs like the 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles part # e54SR, I recommend going with the Tandem-Axle Trailer Hanger Kit for Double-Eye Springs part # APT5.

  • What Parts are Needed to Flat Tow a 1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ
  • There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. From the attached images it appears you have a factory chrome bumper. I suggest the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit W/ Removable Arms, # BX1137. For the tow-bar, I suggest the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar W/ Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,500 lbs., # BX7380. The Alpha 2's convenient, self-centering arms help to make hookup a...

  • Complete Roof Kit With Deck Cover for 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ
  • I can get you set up with a full kit for your 1990 Jeep YJ but the Bestop Duster Deck Cover # B9000215 only covers the rear of your Jeep and not the full roof. What you would need to add for a full kit is the Bestop Windjammer # B8002801 as well as the Bestop Strapless Bikini with Windshield Channel # B5250915-B51209. Adding these components will give your Jeep the brand new top you were looking for. I have linked the installation instructions for all of the Bestop parts so you can take...

  • Difference Between Hopkins Breakaway Battery Kits HM20001 and 20099
  • The big difference between the Hopkins Engager breakaway kits is that the # HM20001 does not have a charge status display on the lid like the part # 20099 does. The # 20099 allows you to press a button and know what the charge of the battery is like.
