Our LJ is built for wheeling and rock crawling, but my wife uses it as her daily driver. Her daily commute is only about 5 miles on city streets It sees some highway use on the weekends, etc. When it comes to the RT tires, it seems like Falken has found the sweet spot decent road manners and...

So where are all of the grounds in the system to check?

The LED blinker light Gremlins are all over me and I really don’t even know where to start troubleshooting. When I did flat fenders which included the little LED marker light and blinker I swapped the flasher and all was good. Since then we have trailed it hard and added led tail lights and...

Hmmm That would be easy. Always forget to rule out the simplest possibility first.....

This is the first time I’ve had RCV axles, not familiar with diagnosing issues. On the front I have a rhythmic squeak coming from the passenger side at low speed, especially turning. Sounds the same as if a regular u joint going out. What would be the next step in diagnosing? Could it be as...

They were great to work with - Ed walked me thru how to do all of the measurements and handled the order. They made a mistake on the cross straps and immediately produced the correct ones sent out FedEx for no charge (I was headed out on a Jeep trip and needed them in 4 days). He also...

UPDATE - here is what I ended up with. Purchased from US Cargo Control - They made them custom from my measurements. They were the best price and the customer service and strap quality was top notch - Call and talk to ED DURAN.

Yes, it was the stock bolt size. I just needed to run a tap in it to clean it out. Once I did that they worked like a champ.

Bump for the weekend crowd

Mind sharing the part #? Assume you mean condenser any aftermarket alternatives?

Trying to figure out what the most comfortable, but still effective, restraint system is for the type of wheeling we enjoy. We normally do crawling in Arkansas, Missouri, etc. where almost everything is up or down, bouncy, and usually off-camber. We also get in and out of our Jeeps a lot...

Since I have to pull the cover at some point thinking about adding a little bling to the engine compartment. Any recommendations or opinions on the aluminum aftermarket valve covers?

Is it worth a try to back it out with the valve cover in place ?
