    Will a JK differential carrier case fit in a TJ?

    So it actually might. We just had to install a TJ carrier in my friends 2013 JK in order to install a Spartan Locker in his Dana 30. The Spartan won't work in the JK carrier but the TJ carrier was a direct swap.

    I think I hate my engine—what would you do?

    5.13s would be the cheapest option. Even if you buy a 4.0 jeep you'll still probably end up wanting to change gears.

    Specific Differences Between Sahara and Rubicon Models

    Dana 44 front and rear axle, Disc brakes on rear, 4.10 gears, Lockers and 4:1 transfer case. You can build it better than a Rubicon with aftermarket parts depending on budget.

    Super 35 kit problem

    I have the Detroit Locker with Alloy USA shafts, 4.88 gears and 35" tires. This axle experienced a fluke locker failure that was a Detroit issue but nothing related to the the Super 35 aspect of the kit.

    Also if you have full coverage and arent at fault in a wreck you can still use your policy for repairs and let them fight with the other carrier for you with out having to mess with it yourself. After hearing the horror stories my wife deals with on a daily basis thats exactly how I will handle...

    Insurance Question to the Community

    I know that Jeep prices are all over the place depending on where you live but you must be at the bottom out there in Virginia. Here in Oklahoma TJ prices just keep going up so my situation isnt that same as yours.

    Insurance Question to the Community

    Kids love TJs

    My step-daughter is more in love with my 99 TJ than she is her Dads 2019 Corvette. So thats a win for me I guess. Were taking her and my daughter wheeling tomorrow. My daughter has been on jeep trips with me before but it will be the step daughters first time off road.

    Are you guys spraying on your bed liner or painting it on?

    I brushed/rolled on monstaliner on my tub. Im happy with the results but spraying will give you a rougher texture than rolling it on.

    Where do I measure front pinion angle at?

    Trying to set up my front pinion angle. 5.5" of lift. Driveshaft angle is sitting right at 10 degrees. Setting the upper Control arms to the charts I found online (15-5/8")has my pinion way to low. If I understand it right I want my pinion angle to match the drive shaft correct, so 10 degrees...

    Running 35s

    You dont have enough lift for 35s. Stay at 33s unless you just have a lot of extra money and time to throw at your jeep.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Got my new front springs from Clayton Off-road last night. Last thing I needed before I tackle this axle swap.
