    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    The one in the transmission is for your reverse lights. the transfer case has a speed sensor and a switch for the 4x4 indicator light. So, some of it goes back to the PCM but none of it HAS to and the PCM isn't doing any control of any of jt. It reads the speed sensor for engine control features...

    Jack of All Trades, Master of None: LJ Build

    You can, you just have to do it at home and stash it somewhere. It's too big to already be out and just decide you want an open sky. Same with the windows, they're too long to roll up and ride with you. Main reason I've all but decided to go the other way and start looking for someone who...

    Looking good! What happened with pman? I can tell I haven't been around as much; that's two usernames I've directly interacted with now gone.

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    I'm generally not against reasonable emissions laws but this one does seem like it puts a large burden on a hobby enjoyed by a relatively small population, in exchange for preventing an amount of pollution that's insignificant in the big picture. I agree with the intent that we don't really...

    Long NP231 input gear on an AX15 transmission?

    There's a thread about it on here somewhere, but if I recall correctly, the short input will work on everything but the 32RH (and even that can work with a seal extender).

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    I'm out of town for work right now which means you actually saved me about 4 and a half hours, so thanks. 😉 It's obviously been a while since I even looked at it (basically the day I bought it when I made sure it matches the title). Whatever the last vehicle was that I actually looked at the...

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    Is the VIN actually on the dash? I thought it was on the tub (firewall) and just displayed through a slot on the dash? I've never had the dash off, obviously.

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    in what way do you think the PCM has anything whatsoever to do with an AX15?

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    My brain kicked the LS swap part out and I got focused on the PCM. Now I'm lost as to why the Jeep PCM needs involved at all.

    Can a TJ VIN be used on TJ Unlimited build?

    Yes but an Unlimited PCM will either be looking for a 42rle or at very least a crankshaft sensor in the nsg370 location, requiring him to buy a $500 Bell housing. I don't know the legalities but since the main VIN label is on the tub I would think you'd have to go with that. However, my...

    I remembered you saying you were looking at that one; same one I have at top of my list. Just waiting for the funds to appear. 🤣

    All things welding

    That wire size recommendation isn't apples to apples with what you're likely to use...the NM-B stuff typically used in residential is a 60C insulation, sheathed and run through a wall cavity so the allowable ampacity is different than what that chart shows for 75C in conduit. I would think you...

    Solar flares from west Tennessee

    To the naked eye, it was just a tinge of color that I might not have noticed if I hadn't been looking for it. And I had to get down my street to get my neighbors house out of my field of view with their two dozen exterior light fixtures.

    Mine don't look as sharply defined but we're seeing them here in Oklahoma.

    My phone still works. It even took these photos of very rare aurora in Oklahoma. I had less success with the drone. The red closer to the northern horizon is more true to life but I think the bright spot above it is a hot spot artifact of the camera or software.

    Road Noise: Hard Upper Half Doors vs Full Doors

    not to mention the headsets themselves...which ones do you use? I've never worn anything behind-the-head. I know when I wear OTH for long periods of time the top of my head starts getting pretty sore...but the BTH sets still have a strap that goes over the top so I'm not sure they would solve...

    Road Noise: Hard Upper Half Doors vs Full Doors

    I recently decided to try adding Walker Razor walkie talkie attachments to my Walker earmuffs I use for shooting. Very affordable and they use GMRS so I could use them to communicate with other parties outside the Jeep, but they're really mostly for the highway...if I'm at wheeling speed I'll...
