Place a 4x4 underneath it to get your tire off the ground. Blocks of wood under jacks are common.

Call him.

Have you called Mark yet to discuss it?

Replacing the PCM with one from Wranglerfix that permanently fixes the problem is an easy 5-10 minute job. No special tools or technical expertise needed. Unplug the old PCM, plug the new one in.

I'm a big fan of converting from a manual to an automatic transmission, I did the conversion to my previous TJ for offroading purposes. But I absolutely would not do for your TJ so just because your wife is having the normal initial struggles mastering the transmission. My youngest daughter...

They don't help there at all, it just places the intake out in the middle of it. Especially if you're not the lead vehicle.

Good question, my guess is that has to be the reason.

5.38 is only possible when both axles are Dana 44.

Any vehicle can cost big $$$. I've spent far more on my 2013 Genesis sedan repairs in the last two months than I've spent on repairs for my TJ since I bought it 14 years ago. Bad struts last year. Then there were massive deep/loud clunks while driving developed the last two months. Had to...

1310 size u-joints is what the TJ (non-Rubicon) came with. 1350 is oversize for a TJ for even most very aggressively built TJs. 1350 size u-joints are also big enough to restrict droop. I stupidly went against Tom Wood's recommendations for 1330 size u-joints for a new rear driveshaft years...

Nope, never noticed that either. And a big welcome to WTF! :)

You won't regret it. I've been running an Antirock on its least-stiff setting since around 2002 even when it was a daily driver.

I still call it a Currie Johnny Joint because it was developed by John Currie who it was named after. It's now sold by Rockjock4x4, of course, but to me it'll always be a Currie Johnny Joint... sold by Rockjock4x4.

That's why I showed him in the photo how to position the factory jack it so it reaches the axle. Alternatively, if my above jacking method isn't liked, carry a short 4x4 block of wood to set the factory jack on.
