    What pipe to use for shop air?

    I put mine on the outside of my wall. I run it along the 4" (electrical) gutter that also runs surface mount. I ran it through the gutter with some grommets. That being said, it wouldn't bother me whatsoever to run the line behind a wall, I just wouldn't make any connections back there unless I...

    LJ cargo tie down

    Yeah having something in the corner would be way better, but at least my tub doesn’t have an oem attachment point there, or I absolutely would have used it.

    Clutch pedal bypass at the wiring harness

    That's good to know cruise control still works with the switch failed closed. I've considered adding cruise to mine if I found a pile of parts.

    Clutch pedal bypass at the wiring harness

    My 2005 LJ Rubicon, and my 1997 TJ's DO NOT have the magical fuse for clutch bypass. I needed to bypass the clutch pedal switch for some diagnostics, which I did with a short piece of wire directly at the clutch pedal wiring harness connector, but decided I wanted to leave it in place with...

    Flywheel locking tool

    Just came back to follow up on this. This tool worked: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJ2DTBNV?tag=wranglerorg-20 Not 100% perfect fit, but got the job done.

    NSG370 plastic parts - can they be replaced?

    Yeah, you don't have to work hard to convince me that this transmission sucks. Mine was also rebuilt at least partialy by a gorilla with with a rock prior to me. But I have it, and I'm going to try to make it slightly better for at least a little while. As much as I hate this transmission I do...

    Can these be purchased individually, without replacing the entire shift rail skeleton?

    Cam Bolt Eliminator Washer

    The terraflex washers were 1 3/16 x 1 5/8 The gap to fill was about a heavy 1 1/2. So they were either 1/8th to wide. Or 5/16 too narrow. Could I have “made them work” ?absolutely. I could have ground them down or had 5/16th of slop. Either would probably be fine. But they were no thicker than...

    Starting the engine without transmission or transfer case

    2005 Rubicon - Manual transmission (NSG 370), and transfer case are sitting on my bench, no longer in the rig. I need to start the engine. My plan is to use the bellhousing from the trans (which I already need to separate anyway to replace the input bearing, and seal), so I can bolt the...

    Flywheel locking tool

    WIthout locking the flywheel in place, you'll just spin the motors output shaft when tightening or loosening the flywheel bolts. There are lots of tools for other common motors, but can't find anything for my combo, but I don't have it apart yet to measure to see if an "off label" tool will work.

    Flywheel locking tool

    2005 with NSG 370 - I'd like to buy a tool to lock the flywheel in place. I know I can wedge something in there, but does anyone have a tool that is known to work? I can't seem to find one. Along those lines, is the flywheel, and bell housing the same for AX-15, NV 3550 and NSG 370 trans...
