    42RLE Port Plug Popped Out

    After installing my new BestBuy 42RLE in my 2004 LJ 4.0, it began leaking as soon as I put it in gear. It is leaking from a port at the top rear of the passenger side. Photos I took after receiving the BestBuy 42RLE show this port was plugged before installation. The plug has popped out. 1...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    With help from @TurboTJ and @Ron Hockett I finally got my Banks Sidewinder Turbo installed. And my Snow Performance water/meth injection system is in. This LJ is scary now. Damn scary. It SCREAMS now. I scream too. And so do the people in the car next to me. And the sirens behind me...

    Ground strap question

    God I love this forum! I had the same mystery strap. Mine was obviously taken off when the paint shop installed the fiberglass hood.

    Interior trim with white film on it

    Its weird that it only oxidized on the steering column trim. Maybe a bad batch of abs at the factory.

    Interior trim with white film on it

    Anyone seen this before.? My LJ came with a weird, white film on the steering column trim. Nothing on the rest of the interior trim, just the steering column. You can scratch it with your fingernails. Any thoughts on how to clean it off? Internet research says to use acetone but I've heard...

    Melted / Damaged Synthetic Winch Rope

    Team: I recently inspected my winch rope and found it to be damaged / melted in SEVERAL areas. I've only winched 4 - 5 times and I don't recall any major abrasion on rocks or trees. This is the factory rope on a Smittybilt X20-10k and I'm using the aluminum Hawse fairlead (no rollers) that...

    How the hell do I stop snoring?

    I think its the same thing. Look up corticosteroid side effects and REALLY research. Most "health" websites are supported by pharma companies either directly or through advertising. They touch on the side effects without really explaining the seriousness. Find a source that REALLY explains...

    How the hell do I stop snoring?

    On snoring: My wife and I both snore. Our solution was to sleep in separate bedrooms. If you don't have a spare bedroom, get a sleeper sofa for the family room, living room, bathroom, closet, kitchen, garage, wherever. Sleep in separate bedrooms. Sleep in separate bedrooms. Sleep in...

    Question for the tire experts

    This is going to sound crazy, but you should try amazon for tires. My local tire shop said the duratracs I wanted for my tacoma were on national backorder. I went on amazon and ordered them direct to his shop. They showed up 3 days later.

    Used Banks Turbo System/Drivetrain

    Its sitting in my garage right now. The turbo kit, not the whole drivetrain. He was nice enough to take it apart and ship it for me. I'll let you know how it goes.

    rear lower shock relocation bracket

    Look right next to the yellow sticker and you'll see the dent where the lower spring perch dented the can. The 2" springs were great until I installed the rear tire carrier and put a heavy toolbox in the back. After that, my LJ developed a 1.5 inch squat. My rear tires were rubbing the tub and...
