    Body Mounted Sliders

    I am looking for information on mounting my rock sliders to the tub. There are no pre drilled holes so I am looking for dimensions and have had a hard time locating a standard drawing. does anyone have this kind of information?

    4.88, 5.13 or 5.38 debacle

    Marginal at best? Does this mean its not worth doing?

    4.88, 5.13 or 5.38 debacle

    The 5.13's have arrived :) BUT, They didn't send reverse cut for the HP 30 so I have 2 options 1- Forget the Dana 30 swap - LP to HP - and just go with what they sent and install on the LP 30 with the Spartan or 2- Get the correct gears and do the HP swap? Is there really a huge gain from...

    What about rock climbing Is the rear more important or the front? Trying to get up on a rock edge will the rear push up? Currently that’s my biggest issue with out a locker

    I’m not changing the gearing decision. 5.13 all the way. I just need to be swayed a little on the lockers. I think I’m gonna go with the spartan on the front and air in the rear. I can’t afford 2 air lockers

    4.88, 5.13 or 5.38 debacle

    Sooo To continue the debacle I am looking at putting in the Spartan locker in the front HP Dana 30 and an air locker in the rear Dana 44 and am now second guessing myself. My concern is there will be times it is driven on snow covered roads and I hear bad things can happen with lunchbox lockers. My...

    Thanks for confirmation of 5.13’s guys. I picked up the HP Dana 30 cause it was cheap and can always just sell it. I am definitely gonna look at the hand throttle. When on the trails and going up rocky incline my foot is constantly bouncing the skinny pedal.

    Hello Everyone I have gone over the countless number of threads about gearing but there is always something that doesn't relate to what I want to do. I have a 2006 LJ 4.0, 4 speed 42RLE Automatic that is 3.73 geared with a Dana 30 in the front and a HD Dana 44 in the rear with trac-lok...

    06 LJ help with suspension setup

    Hit the trails yesterday and it became immediately known to have disconnects. The other was not having lockers. I may have to get that done along with the Currie but until then I did put the disco’s on it today.

    06 LJ help with suspension setup

    Interesting find this morning. I was told it had a 2 or 3” lift but when I measure the springs and do the math it’s actually a 4” lift. 16 in the from and 12 in the back. So, I’ve been looking at Rancho 5000 shocks and they come in a 3-4” lift or 4-5” lift would it be better to go with the 4-5”...

    06 LJ help with suspension setup

    I have been on a few easy trails and so far so good. Control arms are also on the list. But what’s the better brands with your experience? The issues are the lack of power and at highway speeds it’s hard to keep 60mph-which is related to gears which I plan on changing over the winter. 4.56...

    06 LJ help with suspension setup

    Hello Everyone So I caught the Jeep bug earlier in the year with an 01 TJ and now have an 06 LJ. I am trying to figure out the correct path for the suspension. My goal is mostly trail/rock climbing ability but still need to drive around town if needed. Dana 30/186MM Front Axle 3.73 Rear Axle...

    How to identify axles on a Jeep Wrangler TJ (and what the difference is with each axle)

    So I just picked up a 2006 LJ and I’m trying to figure out what it has for a lift maybe 3”? Front 30 and back 44’s?
