I just picked up a 1988 YJ, 258 and Peugeot 5 speed, with 198k and in need of overhaul. Plan to go through the motor, trans.,transfer, etc. The body, frame, paint, interior, tires, and hard top are in great shape so will be concentrating on the running gear.
As this is my first post, I have a few questions that will help point me in the right direction.
1) What is the best repair manual for rebuild?
2) Who are the better vendors for parts?
3) Any recommended power or mechanical upgrades while it's apart?
4) Any issues with this model that I should be aware?
5) Any other thoughts other than "You Bump Your Head"?
Thanks in advance. This project is for my grandson and a chance to teach him a thing or two. I still remember my first rebuild with my dad and it was one of the best learning experiences of my life.
