Long overdue but as I said before, I would share some pictures once I got this done and as promised, I took way longer than what a normal person would take. Anyway, here's my current installation: stock rear sway bar above the dana 60 custom brackets to offset the stock sway bar a few inches up...

Appreciate the responses! > On the distribution block - yes, I welded a bolt, with head cut off, to the axle in roughly the stock location to hold the block Awesome! Thank you for the clarification. I'll get this done (y) > If you don't like the body roll of the antirock you should get a...

Hi all, I've been (very) slowly rebuilding a 2006 Jeep LJ and finally got to the point of swapping out the old rear axle for a Currie 60 HP. There are 2 major-ish complications that I've run into so far: 1) no brake lines, 2) stock sway bar doesn't fit well Brake Lines: Disclaimer: I've never...

Forgot to provide an update & resolution (I hope) to this thread... Back on July 17th, I replaced both the upstream & downstream O2 sensors (NTK 23151 & NTK 23099). Started the engine up & same problem as before. I then replaced all 6 spark plugs (Autolite XP985) even though all 6 looked fine &...

Update: Same problem persists. After my previous update, the issue popped up again after a few starts. Ended up replacing the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKS) with a new Mopar sensor. Finally got it in the mail & finished installing that a couple hours ago. Fired it back up & now the engine...

Update: Ended up testing the new battery w/ a multimeter since I wasn't sure if it was fully charged after I got it from autozone. Tested it & it was at 11.59 volts. Took the battery out & charged it over 24 hours until it was complete. Tested it again & it read 13.10 volts (this was right...

Update: I hadn't really driven the Jeep more than a few miles since my last post. I decided to go for a ride last weekend. Turned the key & nothing. Jumped it, it idled for a few minutes, then died. Took the battery in to autozone to test it & it was bad. Replaced it with a new Odyssey battery...

@bobcat I finally received the Mopar camshaft position sensor (4897023AA) last week (originally purchased through Morris4x4Center but had to wait a couple weeks for them to email me saying that they didn't actually have the part.... Ended up getting it through amazon). I installed the sensor...

Initially it occurred every time, regardless of whether it was cold or hot Updates: Since my original post, I went back out Sunday evening & drove in circles around my neighborhood (didn't want to have to tow far if I broke down). Zero issues during 20 minutes of driving. This included coming...

Hello all I went to drive my 2000 TJ last week and ran into some problems. After 1/4 mile of driving, the low fuel indicator turned on but the gas gauge was still at 1/2 a tank. I turned around to head back home and the fuel gauge dropped rapidly to 0. I stopped to open my gate and while I was...

@jscherb Thank you for the response. Yes solid corner armor is what I have. The seller insisted that it will hold just fine (of course) and that there are way more extreme users that he's run into. So I'm pulling the plug and I'll see how it goes. If the hinges look stressed, I might look to...

@jscherb What are your thoughts on mounting the TITAN Trail Trekker II™ Tank for Jeep Wrangler (4040287) to the Exogate/MORyde gate between the tailgate and a 35" tire? What if the tailgate hinge attachment points are further reinforced with 3/16" corner armor (attached with interior backing...

@Mike the Silver TJ: Good point about the recessed nuts. Do you have the LoPro trans mount or did you stick with the stock mount? If you went with the former, have you had any vibration issues? Also, not sure if you got the ultra clearance, no body mount one, or one of the other options

@Fouledplugs: I did read that on a few other threads (& also read from UCFs website that it should: "go far toward reducing drive-line vibration" so that's consistent haha). Can you elaborate on what in the design makes the potential of it vibrating at idle obvious? Also, I just read before...

@davidgoodman Awesome! Thanks for the shot, looks good! (y) If you do take more or have more & post tomorrow, I'd love to see some shots of the crossmember specifically such as where it connects to your frame or where the transmission passes over it. Appreciate it!
