Awesome, thanks for the help as always!

Im in the middle of fixing a leak at the rear differential cover and drained all the fluid, but unsure what to fill it back up with. I have a ‘98 with a truetrac & 4.10 gears. I had new gears installed a few thousand miles ago.

Awesome, just checked because I had them replace all the mismatched lugs and they all have a tapered base. Thanks for saving me the trouble!

Long story short, the previous owner of my 98 TJ ground down the rear wheel hubs to fit some spacers. I recently got new tires and the shop recommended removing the spacers, but since the hubs were ground down, they suggested replacing them since they help to center the wheel when the lugs are...

Ok good to know, when spinning the wheel about how much rotation should I expect for it to be good. After a decent push I get almost one full rotation.

Replaced my rear wheel studs on both sides today with longer ones. Thought it went well, but when I put the drum brake hub (not sure of what the real name is), I noticed the wheels would spin about halfway then get stuck, almost as if the brake is engaged (I checked emergency brake and that’s...

This is the reason I did not do this btw.

Popping back in to share my experience - went with the 4.10 regear in front and back along with Truetracs. The hill I mentioned is not a problem now. Highway rpms are about as high as I would ever want them, so I’m happy I went with those gears for the 3 speed. That said, I was recently...

Replying to myself in case it’s helpful for future users - I ended up using 14 gauge wire from autozone with butt connectors to extend the CB’s power wires to my battery. I then installed a Blue Sea Blade Terminal mount on the battery since I wanted a fuse right above the battery to prevent any...

Hmm I came across this thread where someone had a similar question: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/cb-radio-wiring-question.14070/ I ordered that Blue Sea Blade Terminal mount because it looks like the safest option. Anyone know what fuse I’d need for it?

I got a Uniden Pro520XL based on it being popular around here, but the power wires they give you definitely can’t reach the battery. So I got some 14 gauge automotive wire and butt connectors to connect the existing wires to the extensions. I just kind of don’t know what to do after that, how...

Ah don’t think I want to deal with all that then, seat belt method will work for now. Thanks!

I have a ‘98 which is before all the child safety LATCH stuff for car seats. Since the LATCH system is usually in the actual seat itself, I’m wondering if grabbing a seat from later years would solve the issue? Anyone know when it started and if I’m right in that it’s built into the actual...

Sorry for the dumb question but I just realized today that it looks like my hitch isn’t actually bolted on all the way, there are just two bolts attaching it on from the bottom, but the sides look like they are missing bolts: The holes don’t looks threaded and I don’t see a way to access the...

Sweet, just found it! I was looking for something connected to a cable or something but this will work for my immediate needs.
