When I look at your picture it looks like there are clips that likely fit over the edge of the pod and then the screw threads into the clip. Not sure if I’m missing the point or not. Sorry if I am.

Those symptoms are typical of driveshaft U-joint failing. Maybe remove the rear driveshaft and drive with only the front wheels and see if the noise persists.

Great job salvaging the frame. The welding looks perfect. I had a similar issue and found a donor frame in Indiana. Word of advice - don't ask this group for name suggestions. Maybe it's already too late.

I support the police. What's going on right now is difficult to comprehend. You guys have a very difficult job and are under scrutiny for every action you take. When you boil it down, the two recent tragedies occurred because of resisting arrest. It's easy to watch the video and say you...

Take it from someone who bought a rusty mid-west Jeep and later had to find a donor frame - buy a southern Jeep!

I’m in the process of taking over a lease. I paid $20 for a one month membership on swapalease.com. This site connects people looking to transfer their lease with those looking for a short term lease. You can search by location and number of months remaining on the lease. The lease transfer in...

The consumer’s appetite for EV cars will likely follow gas prices. Releasing an EV Renegade or Compass right now doesn’t seem to achieve FCA’s mission statement of providing “exciting products”. I’m not smart enough to predict the future, but I have a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid with 232K miles...

I used the Advanced Adapters SYE kit. I also used a rebuild kit. I think the rubber star washer was in the rebuild kit. The washer that was originally on the output shaft was a bit worn but probably could have been reused with some RTV. maybe just opening the vent will help.

Did you put RTV on the output shaft housing? There is also a rubber seal that slips over the output shaft. I watched the Advanced Adapters video and they put RTV around that small seal as well. I wouldn’t have known this without watching the video.

Thanks for thinking of me. I found one on EBay a couple weeks ago. You can get about $40 for it on EBay.

Looks very clean. Keeping it stock would actually be the sensible thing to do, but this site is not called “Sensible Wranger TJ Forum” for a reason.

Nice work! I started repairing a rusty Jeep about 2 years ago and it became a frame off restoration. I hope to have it driving this summer. I like you’re approach of fixing what needs to be fixed and driving it.
