    Brake disc question

    Thank you, much appreciated.

    Brake disc question

    Thanks for that, but I don't think the SporTrac was ever sold in the UK, so discs may be hard to come by.

    Brake disc question

    My question is, what size is the whole in a brake disc for a 1/2" wheel stud. The reason for the question is I am swapping a high pinion Dana 30 into my TJ and at the same time doing a faitly common modification in the UK by using Grand Cherokee (WJ) knuckles, whih allows use of the larger WJ...

    Savvy off-road sold? (the unofficial Savvy customer support and Savvy rant thread)

    That's going to go down well around here!

    Third brake light - have I bought the wrong thing

    Hopefully a simple question - but I have a mental block when it comes to wiring / electrical :oops: I am going to run with my spare in the back of my Jeep as I have no need for rear seats. I have therefore removed the tyre carrier and high third brake light assembly. I bought a basic LED...

    Clutch rebuild / repair help needed

    Apologies, I have found a number of relevant threads, but nothing that gives exactly what I need. I need to repair / replace my clutch and I'm looking for some input on exactly what parts I need. Being in the UK I am limited in terms of suppliers as they need to ship to the UK, or for some...

    Springs (and shocks) for occasional overlander

    Somebody I have been speaking to in the UK is looking for new springs for their TJ. They run a hardtop, but also plan to occasionally add a roof tent for camping. They are considering dual rate springs as a way to deal with the different weight scenarios, but not something I feel knowledgeable...

    Replacement fenders - input to comparison

    I've been mulling over replacement fenders for quite a while now and keep going backwards and forwards. It's personal preference of course, but I like the look of some of the replacement fender options over the stock look. I've also managed to 'ding' both my stock fenders now, so I can add...

    Dana 44 ring and pinion - TJ and YJ

    I am being told by a seller that the ring and pinion in a Dana 44 from the back of a YJ are the same as the ring and pinion in a rear Dana 44 in a TJ. Does anyone know if that is correct?

    Addressing rear shock limitations

    As I traverse the internet viewing Jeep porn, I often see TJs with outboarded rear shocks or coilovers. Invariably these TJs have an upper mounting point formed by notching a 'tower' into the frame. I've probably mentioned here before that making any changes to the frame requiring it to be cut...

    HP30 pinion and caster angle relationship

    There are limited options for an axle swap into a TJ in the UK, so my most likely route to gain a little more strength in the ring and pinion is a HP30 out of an XJ. Watching a few YouTube videos I see some reference to turning the Cs to re-establish caster when a lift is installed. This is...

    Cooling system question

    I'm in the process of swapping out my thermostat and water pump, hoping this will resolve some recent over heating issues (I changed the fan clutch only a few months ago). I have two issues and associated question I would be grateful for help on. First, the one thing I forgot to buy was a new...

    Options for more clearance

    I have fitted a 1" body lift, 1" motor mount lift and roughly 2.5" suspension lift. I have 33" tyres. I am lucky to have no vibrations so have neither dropped the transfer case skid, nor, fitted an SYE / DC drive shaft. I am mulling over what I would need to do to my TJ in the future to get...

    Can anyone identify this locker?

    I have come across a carrier for sale in the UK with what looks like a locker in it (picture below). Any thoughts on what sort of locker it is? Thanks for any input.

    Pressing bearings on

    I am starting to consider taking on my own regear. I know I will need a few additional tools I don’t own but the one thing I am not sure about is pressing bearings on to the carrier / locker and pinion. I don’t own a shop press, is this the only tool for the job? If so, what would the minimum...
