Hey guys, long time no see. So I was accelerating onto a highway the other day and got this huge vibration throughout the entire Jeep. Limped it over to a repair shop and they said they wouldn't touch it because of the lift kit but that they think a u-joint(s) had finally kicked the bucket...

I can't seem to quote more than one post at a time so I'll try to hit all the replies at once: Pre-cats: I don't think these have ever been changed. They were loose at one point, allowing the entire pipe to swing, but were tightened down and I've never looked at them again. Currently got about...

Long time no see. So, long story short, Jeep runs fine at the moment but is getting complete ass for gas mileage. I'm talking like, 80 miles eats up half a tank of gas. So now I'm about to go back under the hood to go through everything and try and give it a tune up. Specs are listed in the...

I've been running these for about 2 years now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018JKIUF4/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Knock-off Trucklite headlights. Whatever you buy, make sure you aim them as well as can be done as most of these knock-off companies aren't DOT approved and their wash patterns are...

Forgive my french, but how in the F**king hell?! I commute about 13 miles one way for work, OD is off, Cruise Control set at 55, engine RPMs right around 2500. I never stomp the gas, don't really ever take the engine beyond 3000rpm when accelerating, etc.. I'm lucky if I get 11-12mpg.

I installed a 120gb SD card with my phone specifically to support maps for BackCountry Navigator Pro. I've got most of Eastern NC downloaded onto my phone in about 8 different formats depending on what I'm doing that particular day. I haven't figured out how to get the compass to display...

Attempted to fix transmission fluid leak from forward radiator lines. Cut steel lines .5" from crimp connections to rubber lines, flared and installed new rubber hoses with x2 screw clamps. Went to start it up to check for leaks, turns out all of the manipulation and cleaning of components...

Lucky bastard. My 06 Rubicon with not even a qaurter of your rust has been without rear shocks since August of last year because I can't get the damned old upper mounts out.

Had basically the same thing with my jeep. Turn off, coolant boiling out of the radiator into the overflow. Replaced the cap, sprung a leak from the water pump. Ended up replacing the waterpump/thermostat. I just used a basic rotary cleaning tool for the mating surfaces on the block and...

Aye Sir!

One last quick question to reignite the thread: Switching from 4.10s to 4.88/5.13 (Still undecided between the two), how is this going to affect daily driving in 1-3rd gear on the auto? This thing is my DD to/from work (13 miles, mostly highway). I'm curious how the gearing will affect the...

You have lights in your rearview mirror? I want lights in my rearview mirror.. wtf. :P

Yep, I've refrained from looking up new radios for the same reasons as @Sam Solo, but I am a bit of an audiophile. Right now I'm doing the research on the stereo system to see how much I can upgrade before the new parts exceed the capability of the factory unit. I also need to do this lighting...

Yeah, that's what I'm gathering from the digging I've been doing. Another weekend project added to the list.

Question: Why a 4 channel and not a 5 channel? When I was out pricing/shopping for parts and ideas the local shop recommended a 5 channel to power/provide for all 4 new speakers and the sub.
