Both. It’s a flex test. Have you never taken a picture of your Jeep?

I’ve used the zone 4” lift that come with lower arms and I run 35s. It flexes just fine and I’ve ran it pretty hard in the rocks and in the desert. Perfect? No, not by a long shot but it’s good enough for now

I picked up a Dana 35 for another project I’ve been working on. I measured the backlash of its ring and pinion and it’s off the charts. My question is; Can I adjust the backlash on a set of old (stock from 1993”) gears? And is there an acceptable amount of backlash for used gears Besides the...

I've been wanting to do this to my A/C

Registered my Jeep in Arizona. Gave the plate the wrap around treatment, lucky pull that it says TJ on it. :D

Installed metal cloak duel rate coils in the front. Kept the lift amount the same because I don’t want to go any higher. Also replaced the jounce bumper while I was in there.

Thanks everyone. I should be able to source an AX15 2wd locally. That seems to be my only option for the 2wd Jeep stuff right now. It would be nice to get an automatic but I’m open to either manual or auto. I guess if I could source a gm transmission like a th350 or 400 cheap enough the adapter...

Long story long, I pulled this cat off a buddy’s XJ that he rolled after having it installed only a few weeks prior. I live in the sweet free state of California where everything has to be carb compliant and was looking at cats that cost upwards of $500. Found plenty on eBay and Amazon that...

Registration and smog check is due, and my exhaust sounded like there were marbles bouncing around inside. So I welded on a new catalytic converter. Those couple of nuggets of honeycomb laying next to the old cat is what was left inside. So if anyone wants a hollowed out catalytic converter, I...

Here's what I did with mine. looking back at it, I would have made it a little more compact. but it gives me open circuits when I add an accessory all I have to do is run the load wire and its done.

I had something similar happen to me. The terminals that hold the fuses had loosened up and were barley hanging onto the fuse. I removed my fuse box, behind the glove box, (97 tj sport) removed the terminals and squeezed them in a little and re installed everything. Don't know if that's your...
