Newbie to Jeep mods questions
I do a great deal of car work, but only recently have I started tinkering with a Jeep... it's my brother's, a 1994 Wrangler YJ. Now while I don't forsee any issues here, I do have two questions of concern to me. First, where does one go to purchase actual manufacturer service manuals for a Jeep? Helm Publishing is where I normally go for such things, but I guess they don't do anything with Jeeps and so I'm not sure if this is simply something that can be solved by a visit to the dealer's parts department or if some other source is more ideal. Second, who are the big names in retail sales of aftermarket Jeep parts? I buy a lot of parts from Summit and PAW for my cars, and they do sell Jeep parts, but I'm wondering if a better selection can be had elsewhere. J.C. Whitney seems to sell everything under the sun... does anyone have any experience with ordering from them? Is there a better source to be had? Thanks in advance to all who reply! Bryan |

Re: Newbie to Jeep mods questions
Bryan,
I picked up my service manual from these people. For the most part i am very pleased, but some pages are a little light because it was a reprint. http://www.thejeep.net/catalog/default.php?cPath=39 Also for jeep parts - www.4wd.com - good people, great service, higher prices www.jcwhitney.com - ok, only ordered once from them napa - my buddy works there and i can get decent discounts(brakes, belts, misc parts, etc...) www.ebay.com - loads of parts and many at great prices and good condition Good Luck Glenn The Hurdy Gurdy Man <bryan@linux.webicommerce.com> wrote in message news:<bk6pbm$2os$1@nnrp.atgi.net>... > I do a great deal of car work, but only recently have I started tinkering > with a Jeep... it's my brother's, a 1994 Wrangler YJ.

Re: Newbie to Jeep mods questions
hey bryan-they there guys:
www.quadratec.com www.thejeep.com www.4wd.com i got my factory service manual online somewhere. i think it was leon rosser (thejeep.com) but i can't remember. i also have a haynes manual which i think is much much better than the chilton's. nothing beats the factory service manual though.
