    How to install dual batteries in your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I do agree that it isn't as important as once was. Just a good option. I did put a monster of a battery in my LJ just because I didn't know if I could do 2

    Installing Derale transmission cooler 20561 with long arm lift

    I have a long arm kit on my LJ and want to install the Derale trans cooler. It is supposed to mount right where my long arm mount is. Can I get some pics of where it has been mounted with long arm?

    Where is the factory cruise control wiring located?

    A friend of mine has a 2006 LJ that does not have cruise. He ordered all the parts because we both have heard that all LJs are prewired. We cannot find the wiring. Heard it was under master cylinder. Any advise or pics would be helpful

    Wiring for an e-locker

    I have a Sterling rear axle in my LJ. I ordered a factory eLocker from Ford because it fits all years Sterlings and the only eLocker available. Anyone have any idea what size Cable Gland I would get to get wire thru housing? Should I use plastic or aluminum ones or it doesn't matter? Aluminum...

    Power steering filter on hydro assist

    I installed a Lares power steering filter on my hydro assist we just installed. I was wondering if anyone knows if it blocks some of the pressure on the system. Has anyone ever installed one and then removed it and felt a big difference. It's odd, at idle I can steer with 1 finger with no...

    Companies that make tummy tucks

    I have been doing research on higher clearance transfer case skids. There is a thread in the TJ resources section. It is very outdated. Some of the companies don't exist anymore or do not build the skids any longer. I have been searching for the best Transfer case/engine/trans skid for my build...

    No start this morning. Unplugged OPDA and it started.

    Went to start my LJ this morning and it would only turn over. Would not start. Ended up unplugging the OPDA. It started right up. The OPDA is the Cam position sensor and it's not supposed to start but it did. Anyone else have this happen to them? Very strange

    Not able to turn left after hitting drag link on rocks

    I was offroading with a few friends yesterday and a friend with an 2006 LJ was trying to get up a hill and slammed the drag link on a rock pretty hard. After we got a better line and got him up the hill he realized he couldn't steer left(driver). I looked at the entire steering and didn't see...

    Rock Hard Add on Cage

    I was wondering what the real world experiences on this cage add-on system are? Pics of them already installed on LJs. Roll over experiences with them or just some input of people that have them installed on TJ/LJs. TIA

    Pic request: 05-06 TJ with cruise control

    I installed hi-line fenders on my LJ a month or so ago and since then cannot get my cruise to work correctly. The light will come on when I first start it, if I activate the cruise it does come on for a short time. Then the light goes off and will not come back on until I turn Jeep off for a...

    Impact Jack (LJ Rubi build)

    I will be receiving my final part today for my hydro assist. Looking forward to getting it installed. I still haven't received my front Eaton eLocker. We are going to weld the front until it comes in if we do not get it before we do the gears and rear e-Locker. Been a long wait.

    Impact Jack (LJ Rubi build)

    I absolutely love the kit I went with(Derale TJ direct fit). Most of the problems I have read about have been a generic set up or a cheap kit. Mine moves so much air and fully auto

    Impact Jack (LJ Rubi build)

    Here is a pic of the way I cut the rear fenders for now. I plan on putting corners on in the future. We are going to stretch the rear between 2 and 4 inches. So we are throwing around different ideas. Also put a new exhaust on. It was crazy loud with no muffler. It is alot better now. Still has...

    Impact Jack (LJ Rubi build)

    I trimmed the rear fenders with a Jigsaw with a Diablo blade. Cut thru them like butter. We went to Hard Rock ORV in Ocala and it went very well. No more rubbing. Pics to come
