    JK spec'd axles

    I know some of you have swapped JK axle into your TJs, that's something I haven't done. I have a buddy that's interested in doing his RJ60 from his JK into his LJ. He was talking with another shop who had recently done JK axle into a TJ, and was saying there was excessive front driveline...

    Low profile rock sliders

    I ran the Warn ones for a long time. If you don't go all bouncer on it, they hold up great and only have a little bump out.

    What is the most durable brand for CCV related parts? OEM, Dorman, Crown, etc?

    Agree. They all break after heat cycling a bunch if you go to remove. Buy two, install one. :D

    Toughness personified

    Safety first in the desert! :D I like good lights, but have never paid for them. Fortunately I had a good friend working at Vision X that gave me a box of returns. Or else I would likely have some incandescent sealed beams.

    Is Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel Crate Engine Plug & Play For My TJ?

    Also speaking of the 2.8 swap into a TJ, there is a good video on YouTube where Nate and Ian talk about the swap differences between that and a TDI 4cyl. I would probably go with the TDI, because I like a challenge and learning the swap, but there's something to be said about buying a whole kit...

    Is Cummins R2.8 Turbo Diesel Crate Engine Plug & Play For My TJ?

    Right now we are attempting stuffing a 3.0TDI from a 2013 Audi A7 into a JK. Pulled the engine and trans to find a 49 spline output. But being it's a 8HP70/75 we are hoping a Dodge 23 spline output fits into it. We've found that adapter for the tcase, so we don't have to machine our own. If we...

    Toughness personified

    I'm glad you're offering these again. Was bummed when they went with only aluminum. For those that may be hesitant, I ran one of his custom made for my full width for seven years of hard wheeling and prerunning KOH, and I've wedged a rock between the tie rod and diff, hung the front and had...

    Savvy and Accutune no longer tune Fox 2.0 IFP Shocks

    I can vouch for this. I bought 16 of these to convert a few guys' around here to LSC, but can't easily find a way to get the LSCs to ride well. They are much too stiff. I've worked on it quite a bit. I believe that the that orfice is too small. I initially thought the disc valving was too stiff...

    TJ sputters when warmed up, then dies and won’t restart until it’s cooled off

    I'd bet it's the Crank position sensor, I've had one that would die at around 10 min of warm up, stall, then restart and run fine after cooled off.

    PSC steering gear fluid

    I run just Napa power steering fluid on my JK with PSC pump and big bore box. GM P/S fluid is real similar to Swepco if you can't get it, and okayed by PSC last time I checked.

    Ford 7.3L V8 Godzilla swap information

    I'm planning on downsizing the camper in the future, and am tempted getting a truck with this engine coupled with the 10 speed. Get rid of the diesel. But want to spend some time behind the wheel with a Jeep on a trailer first.

    Anyone here have access to Alldata.com?

    Alldata is basically an electronic, broken up version of the service manual, at least the DIY version. I believe the Pro version has access to job hours, recalls, ect.

    Looking for thoughts and opinions on Rough Country high clearance skid plate

    Barnes has several belly pans, one stock replacement (a little shallower than stock), or three different drops that are not drilled (3 inch, 2, and flat). We have used those on TJs with V8 swaps, Very handy when you need to make your own trans mount. They are steel, but are also a good value...
