My Khaki TJ, @R800bby white TJ and a JL pArked at a 5 year old birthday party today.

Thanks so much for the excellent explanation. I was just dumbfounded as the yoke didn’t appear damaged in any way and I couldn’t imagine I had damaged it getting the old one out. You learn something new every day, I guess!

I’m changing the u-joints in the rear driveshaft. Per the Denny’s chart, I need 5-795x for position 5 and 5-793x for position 6. Position 5 went in without issue, but now putting in position 6 there appears to be a lot of play. See the video. Is that ok to install or am I missing something here?

Is it hitting the third brake light mount or the bumper or the snubbers? If the third brake light, some washers between the mount and the tire carrier could work (I did this with a 33). If it’s the snubbers, they could simply be trimmed a bit. If the bumper, you may need a solution like the...

First, the title of this thread is hilarious. Not sure what year you have, but some TJs have isofix points in the rear seats. I assume this is an 03-06 thing. I’d think one of the middle isofix points would be a great place to hook up the harness.

I do like the MORryde quite a bit. I got the hinge replacement with tailgate reinforcement as well. It comes with snubber extenders, although you may need additional ones depending on your backspacing. I’ve got a 33 on there with absolutely no issue. It’s rated for a 35 and I’m sure it would...

I’d recheck the fuses. I’ve had this happen before. I believe it’s fuse 1 behind the glove box.

Unfortunately, I have a new vibration in the TJ. I’ve spent the past week or so trying to nail down the exact conditions under which it happens so I could come here for some advice as to what to look for before I go out and roll around on the concrete in single-digit Michigan temps to start...

I considered that, but it looked like I needed to register separately for that forum. Is that correct?

I'm strongly considering adding a 4-door JK to the fleet and reserving my TJ for wheeling trips. The JK would be used as a DD as well as to tow a popup for family camping trips. Having the JK would also afford me more time to fix / upgrade whatever breaks on said wheeling trips on the TJ...

Put mine through its paces at Holly Oaks - our local ORV park. This was the first opportunity I had to test out the newly installed Antirock. What a huge difference this made keeping all four tires in the ground.

I’m running a 285/75 R16 E range KO2s on my Moabs. As you mention, there are very limited choices in C range. I run mine around 26 psi (a little more if I’m going to be on a long highway trip to get to a camping / wheeling spot), and overall I’ve been very satisfied with on-road comfort and...

I brewed beer for a little while. My wife’s complaints about the smell outweighed the enjoyment I got making and drinking the beer. The smell never bothered me a bit.

This is really surprising to me. When I first got my Jeep I was debating what to get (CB, Ham, GMRS, etc.). From reading thru the forum, I was under the impression most everyone had moved on from CB. I ended up taking the advice ‘get whatever most of your friends have,’ which I think is...
