3. No idea about your clock.

4. You need to have an idea of what specs you have before you start swapping out parts from other models and vehicles.

You sir are a gentleman and a scholar! We should all take note of this, all kidding aside. If I was indeed a noob I wouldn't be offended at all by this response.

3. Where can I get a digital clockspring so I don't have to worry about it breaking again? I was late for an appointment the other day.
4. I've read a lot about swapping on TJ and YJ parts, but I also hear about this elusive JY all the time, is that a foreign model or something? Some guy told me to try and find some injectors from one and I haven't been able to find it.

Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
1. Victoria's Secret, has some sweet models.
2. Not sure why but it give extra 50hp, you run both the intake and the exhaust to the Glove box.
3. you can use from the H1 any year, direct swap.
4. Bad News, From the TJ only the Headlight, From the YJ everything Except the Headlights. Can't on the JY, I've been searching for that for years.

1.just stack some hockey pucks, cheap and effective

2.2 words, octane booster...you get about 15hp per bottle. or you could route your exhaust to feed back into your intake, works just like a turbo.

3.a smart car

4. newb, JY means Jeep Yaris. its the fuel saving model Jeep put out a few years back to compete with the Prius. but, as we all know hybrids have a hard time making HP. so the jeep engineers made special injectors that gave both smooth power and great gas mileage.

glad i could help

Most people around here do homebrew body lifts. Real easy to get like 10"-12" which is what I plan to do.

As far as the JY, I've only seen one once and that was when I was pulling it out of a mud hole.
