Hi guys I haven’t had a chance to mess with this for a while but just to circle back, it was the hubs. Absolutely showed zero wiggle but I replaced everything else so it was down to them. Drives like a new car. Timkin were only about 50 bucks each. In the future knowing what I know now I would...

Guys I’m dealing with this and about to pull my hair out. LJ with about 150k on it and always drove perfect. Over the period of the last 800 miles or so it just started, went from perfect to almost undrivable. Did all the recommended checks and seemed like there was a general slight slop in the...

I have some similar kind of problem. About one out of every 50 starts or so the oil pressure gauge never comes alive and I get the check gauges light. I shut the key off, start again and everything will be fine for a month or so. Haven’t bothered to pursue it

As long as you have good ground clearance you’d be fine. I wouldn’t do it without a little bit of a lift tho.

I’ve never heard of that product but after a google search I still don’t really understand what it is. A coating? I’d personality always be inclined to use an aerospace approved corrosion inhibitor like ACF50 or corrosion X. I use ACF50 on my jeep, motorcycles, tools, and it creeps and has...

I always heard you should gear to be at 3000RPM at 75

I completely disassembled my fog lights 3 years ago and the lenses were really pitted, so I used these covers on them when I put it all back together…. https://lamin-x.com/jeep-tj-97-06-fog-light-covers.html Admittedly mostly for the look, but I was 100% satisfied with the application and they...

We’ve all been stuck in those situations but never a safe or responsible thing to recommend. Unless you never have to exceed about 15 mph

For your situation I’d start out at 20 and see how it does. That’s not low enough to get any meaningful traction increase but it would definitely improve the ride quality on a rough road

I definitely wouldn’t use that one. The crown, and the OEM sensor. I was lazy and did not swap sensors and couldn’t get rid of the check engine light or the code until I did.

To make a very long and complicated story short, after checking everything on the jeep, one by one, I eventually found the large plug in the wiring harness on the firewall behind the head had a bad connection somewhere. Hosed it down with contact cleaner and firmly popped it together, nary a...

That’s a great idea, didn’t know it could be done.

So I Ubered home and got my tools and went back with my truck. Just for S and Gs I put the key in the ignition and cranked it and it started right up. Got to love jeep electrical problems. So now I have an unreliable vehicle that I cannot take anywhere and trust that it will start again. But at...

No I don’t. It only came with 1 key. Will the ignition system work if it gets started? I could get it rolling and pop the clutch but my fear is the security system disables the starter and spark so that wouldn’t work

Hey guys I’m in a major pickle. I’m sure I’m going to eat crow on this but I had a charging problem last week and rebuilt the alternator. I did have the battery disconnected for a couple days. Seemed 100% fixed and charging fine now. I drove it all around town today running errands. The last...
