    What brand and weight of oil and filter do you guys recommend?

    I used to use royal purple oil and filter. Then a $3500 motor rebuild later I just use plain old castroil conventional and a mopaR filter per my engine builder. P.S. not blaming the oil for the engine rebuild.

    Issue with centering axle under vehicle

    I am having some issues with my rear trac bar. Axle is sitting about 2” toward the driver side. I have tried putting the frame on jack stands and the rear axle without the tires on another set of stands. I used a ratchet strap with the track bar removed And tried to center it but it wouldn’t...

    Daily driver or trail rig? What's your Jeeps job?

    Bought mine as a DD after the motor in my CJ5 took a dump. DD’ed the CJ FOR 3 years and the TJ for right at 2 years. Just recently threw a new lift at it and still working out a few bugs, but I had been driving it on the weekends and to work one day a week. Eventually it will be a trail rig...

    Virginia Looking for some people to ride with from Danville, VA

    I’m in Halifax and have had a hard time finding places around here to ride. Everywhere I used to go is closed or either landowners wont allow it anymore.

    Knocking sound

    The guys said that it was more than likely from over-revving, but she has never seen more than maybe 3500rpm so I have no idea. And I think the total rebuild was 3250ish but that was with a slightly better cam, fuel rail, and injectors. If I had gone plain Jane basic stock rebuild they said it...

    The rebuild went great, took about 3 weeks because the shop was backed up. I had to take it back the other day the water pump gasket blew out somehow. And yes I’m assuming it wasn’t all at once it just stopped completely all at once haha. And yes the 3xxx is 3000 I always change oil right around...

    My Warn winch developed a problem a few weeks ago

    That's great to hear about them. I'm actually going to get a M8000 this coming week. It will be my first, and hopefully last, Warn winch.

    Also I know the guy that i bought it from and he had all the service records for it from the dealership he bought it from. Oil was changed every 3000 miles and he actually got them to do a tune up every 20,xxx. It has always been very well taken care of so i cannot see why it would happen. Since...

    Not exactly sure what happened first, or really how it happened honestly. But i found a great local engine builder and hes going to tear it down and rebuild it. does anyone know anything about 505 performance? He had mentioned getting a mild cam and the pistons and connecting rods from them.
