    Metal goop particles in my cooling system

    I did plenty of flushing, including using the engine block drain, replacing most of the cooling system in the process.

    Metal goop particles in my cooling system

    1.5 years later and the head gasket repair was done a while ago and I had a hunch that goop still exists, so I put a magnet under the radiator cap so see what I could skim from the coolant. 🤯 Also my water pump is making a racket after only 3k miles, I think the contamination may be...

    At my wits-end with drive shaft vibrations

    I put the front shaft on, and no changes, so everything is back to "normal". Whatever small amount of vibration I do get is inconsistent and only noticeable from 65-70. Case closed.

    At my wits-end with drive shaft vibrations

    So, before I put on the refurb front shaft, I have a bit of constant vibration at 65-67 mph. Ds and pinion are w/in 0.5 deg of each other. Does not seem load related. So this means tires, hubs, something else off balance? Not angle related, correct?

    At my wits-end with drive shaft vibrations

    Update: Dropped the front shaft off and they reported back it's in all kinds of bad shape, though never really caused much issue till I did the rear DCDS conversion.

    I assume this is all with the rear ds removed, correct?

    At my wits-end with drive shaft vibrations

    Sure as shit, taking out the front drive shaft made the problem go away. Smoothest the jeep has been at any speed, ever 🤯 So now what? Balance the front shaft? Could the problem still be in the transfer case yoke torque? Both yokes were removed during install, but if the rear is good, then can...

    At my wits-end with drive shaft vibrations

    They transfer case yoke was new with the SSSYE, but I'll inspect it along with checking nut torque.

    This may actually work out!

    Opening depends on year, 97-00, square, 01-05 round, I think.

    This may actually work out!

    There is a story behind the name, something about a typo. But I would also not get a head unit without a physical volume knob. I have a double dinn apple carplay compatible touch screen unit, with a volume knob and it just took a little cutting to get it to fit.

    At my wits-end with drive shaft vibrations

    TLDR, I have rhythmic (dynamic) vibrations above 63mph that won't go away, no matter the pinion angle. I've tested more than 30 different pinion/ds angle combinations from above and below and I always have the same dynamic vibrations. Sometimes worse, some times better, and one time constant...

    Crawltek Pyro Mid-Width Rear Bumper Install and initial review

    I replaced my enormously heavy Rock Hard 4x4 Patriot Series Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier with the Crawltek Pyro Mid-Width Rear Bumper. First impression were good. The mounting instructions say you can use 4 or 8 bolts to mount the bumper, and the PO had already drilled out the needed holes in...
