    AX-15 conversion in a 2005 Rubicon

    Can AX-15s be adapted to a 2005 Rubicon. I'm probably going to have to replace my transfer case and would love to ditch the NG370 too. I've found some things on Novak, IIRC, that was set up for the earlier years, but the transfer case was clocked differently.

    Best source for a Rubicon transfer case?

    Things just get better and better. As I was trying to determine the source of vibration on my Rubicon, I pulled the rear driveshaft. When I drove it off the front axle, anytime I tried to accelerate, it would make a heavy ratcheting sound for a few seconds. My guess is the PO stripped out...

    Unknown driveshaft yoke

    Okay. As I was trying to find out the source of vibration, I twisted the head off a U joint bolt in the rear yoke. It has a dual cadron driveshaft of an unknown manufacture. My question is, what size yoke and U-joint do I need to get? Is there anyway I can determine the size of the U-joint...

    Rubicon driveshaft vibes

    I have a 2005 Rubicon with a 4 inch lift (probably Rough Country). The transfer case is lowered one inch, probably from Rough country too. All from the PO. There is vibration at around 70 MPH. It's done this since I bought it and It seems to be getting worse. I will be checking pinion...

    Rough Country control arm adjustments

    I bought my jeep several years ago with what seems to be a 4" Rough Country lift. The belly pan was lowered about 1.5-2", I'm guessing from the kit. I'm wanting to raise the belly pan back to normal height and use a motor mount lift to help with the driveshaft angle. My questions are: 1...

    CJ exterior mirrors?

    I'm tired of the cumbersome and ugly af outside rear view mirrors, and attaching the doorless mirrors is a pain. Has anyone ever modified CJ5 or & mirrors to fit? I know they will shake at speed. I know I will have to look through the windshield to see the right mirror. I'd just like to...

    Throwing accessory drive belt under load

    I had that happen several months ago. I've never had that kind of problem before on any other vehicle. I've never even heard about such a problem in the past.

    How long after cat replacement before all codes are gone?

    it says "done", so I guess it means there are no codes. I freaking HATE dealerships. They were wanting 75 bucks for wiper blades, when I told them know, they told me I it threw a code and would not pass inspection.

    Four door Wranglers are Hummer 2.0s. Change my mind!

    How long after cat replacement before all codes are gone?

    I replaced the precats with MagnaFlow precats (Part number ‎50899) along with NTK 23159 Oxygen Sensor, NTK 23018 Oxygen Sensor, NTK 23158 Oxygen Sensor and NTK 23160 Oxygen Sensor, all placed in their appropriate places back in October. My check engine light immediately when out and she runs...

    Easiest fan clutch removal ever

    Great idea, but I wonder if doing this can break the water pump or cause it's seal to leak. Granted, if you are doing this to replace the pump, it doesn't matter.
