This might be a dumb question...but is this much oil build-up normal? It doesn't seem like it. It's really bad at the connection between the Engine and Transmission and underneath them both. I took some pictures, you can kind of see the darker color from the build-up. Anyway, I'm hoping this is...

I'm in the market for a winch and would love to get a Warn but their prices seem extremely high...Anyone know why? I was looking around Christmas time and the Fall and they seemed to have jumped even higher since then. Pretty much any 8,000-10,000 LBS winch with a synthetic is $1,000 or over...

I've been on this Forum for a while and have always thought about posting my build but never really wanted to until now. So here it goes... The point of my build, with this Jeep, is a Practical Jeep that I can both drive to work everyday while also take it camping into the Nevada outback on the...

I had a Powertrax lunchbox locker installed on my front Dana 30 a couple of days ago. The shop is a very good, reputable shop that I trust and has done great work with my past re-gear and driveline. Anyway...I was driving it after I picked it up the locker engaged while in 2Wheel. Not fun to...

It’s probably been talked about on here but my Jeep has been in the shop for over a week getting some mods installed and Im bored. With the JL’s having been out for a while now, there are plenty of new and old Jeeps on the road today. And was wondering… (obviously the TJ is the best) But what’s...

After spending too much time on this Forum, I've begun to second guess me decision about a Lunchbox Locker in my Front Dana 30. I was pretty confident in my choice, due to my budget, to put a Powertrax No Slip in my Dana 30 but have came across a few questions... Even in 2WD, is the locker that...

Alright, I need some input. Every spring I get a nice chunk of change from coaching High School Basketball. I usually use it as the one time a year I add a significant upgrade to my Jeep. I'm at a crossroads to what I want to do come March...This forum is my favorite place to discuss my decision...

I track my fuel every time I fill up and have been getting garbage MPG. The last 3 times I've filled gotten 10, 9.8 and 10.3 MPG. I have the 42RLE and proper gears, 5.13's with 33's. I'm leaning towards the O2 sensors are going bad...Leading to the point of the post, is there a way to check if...

I may be slightly biased here but…I’ve always loved the interior of the TJ. It’s simple yet modern enough. It’s a good blend between the slightly outdated YJ and the clearly modern JK interiors. Everything you need but sometimes just missing what you want.

So the guy before me put on a crossover steering kit a few years back. I've never been a fan of them both for their looks and function, as pointed out by @Chris and @Jerry Bransford on multiple threads here. Not to mention the Crossover Steering is getting looser and looser and rattles like no...

I noticed a decent amount of heat coming up from where my Shifter is and where my 4WD shifter is. In the last 5 weeks, if I drive my jeep for a decent amount of time, mainly on road trips, the box gets very warm. Not to mention the heat resignation from it gets my legs hot. It has been a hot...

I recently installed the "Hot Headliners" sound dampening/Insulation kit for my LJ. I had the "Boom Mat" insulation on my last jeep which I really liked. HotHeadliners comes with more for the sound and insulation and I wanted to give them a try. I thought I'd share some pics and info on it...

Week long camping trip to Washington AND having to carry an extra person? No problem in the LJ. Pretty stoked how well it all fit in there. Still have extra room on the Roof Rack as well.

When I wanted to re-gear with the 42RLE I was shocked at how low people told me to go. @Chris & @Jerry Bransford both claimed it would be the best set up with 33's and "OK" if I wanted to go to 35's in the future. (I am about 50/50 on going to 35's). I chose to listen to these guys and I'm very...

I know there are charts out there but I'm lost. I just re-geared to 5.13 with 33's and the 42RLE. What Speedometer teeth count do I need to correct my speedometer with all the changes?
