28 psi on road both for soft top/no rear seats, and hardtop/rear seats?

Hey everyone! I’m currently running BF Goodrich KO2s (31x10.5R15) on my 2004 Jeep TJ 2.4L. I weighed it recently, and it’s coming in at about 1,700 kg (3,750 lbs) without a driver. I’m looking for advice on the optimal tire pressure for on-road, everyday use. Right now, I’ve got the soft top...

Hi everyone, What type of flywheel does TJ use? Dual mass or single? My TJ is 2004 2.4L

What engine parts should I cover/wrap besides the PSU and the alternator before rinsing with the hose? What about the connectors?

*Noob Question follows* Can anyone help me understand, or point me into the right direction, in order to understand the Fastening Torque of impact wrenches? Is it as simple as it seems? For example: #1 - https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/Power-Tools/Fastening/Impact-Wrenches/2962P-20...

It might be a bit time consuming but I enjoyed the process! I built a custom one. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/custom-rear-bumper-build.50938/

What do you mean?? Please don't trigger this forum with a question about springs and ride quality! Just kidding

WJ doesn't have the same steering as a TJ. WJ uses a cross over system. Tie rod is connected to both knuckles. TJ uses a Haltenberger system.

Which is the preferred location to jack the front axle with a bottle jack? Is it the control arms/mounts? Is this what the manual indicates? Isn't it dangerous to hurt them?

Thanks! I picked metric values, because mainly this is what I use in everyday life here in Greece. I am more familiar with metric. I know, it is more practical to just use the full length of the tubing. No extra steps needed. That's what I did. Thanks for the bumper! I have a whole thread...

I ended up setting my toe in today. I finally achieved a nearly perfect 0.3 degrees total toe in (factory spec), while my previous result was around 1.43 degrees, which was set by an alignment shop. They should not be so proud. (n) If you want to read more info, check my build (post #23 and...

Here is a list of the toe in measurement, to have a 0.3 degrees as a result, for the most common tire sizes. 29" Tires 0.152" toe in 30" Tires 0.157" toe in 31" Tires 0.162" toe in 32" Tires 0.168" toe in 33" Tires 0.173" toe in 35" Tires 0.183" toe in 37" Tires 0.194" toe in 40" Tires...

Time for some before results: My toe in was set by an alignment shop before, but unfortunately as the measurements showed it was completely off. My toe in was set at 1.43 degrees. That was way off! Time to set it right. Calculation of correct toe in measurement Having as a fact that I should...

Firstly, my aluminum tubings, are 1 meter (39.37”) each. I marked their center, in order to place them in the rotors. I decided to not mark my tire diameter (31”) on them, but to calculate the desired total toe in angle, which is 0.3 degrees, using the total length of the tubings. (It was an...

Today, I finally aligned my TJ. It was time to set my toe in and center my steering wheel. I followed the instructions of this amazing thread (*Τhanks @Jerry Bransford , for this amazing method): https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-align-your-jeep-wrangler-tj.85/ It was a pretty easy...
