    Mopar manual transmission fluid equivalent

    That sounds way cheaper, kinda strange. Was the 42RLE produced in larger numbers? I do like the 6spd. For me, it's a lot of fun. But at the same time yes with my issues, having an auto would be a lot easier. 21 days is pretty significant though I would have to farm this kind of work out, I...

    Mopar manual transmission fluid equivalent

    Yeah but the 42rle has its own issues doesn't it? Aside from the shifting issues that can be fixed with wrangler fix PCM. I have the 42rle in my LJ, so I'm familiar with it's shifting with a OEM computer. I also have read here quite a bit about trying to properly gear considering how tall the...

    Mopar manual transmission fluid equivalent

    Thanks for verifying. I thought I read somewhere on here that it was a bad choice. I have been wanting to rehear to 4:10's on this anyway. Even with 31's it Boggs down quite a bit with the high elevation and steep hills here.

    Mopar manual transmission fluid equivalent

    Fluids all were changed a couple years ago. Only put 3K on it since then, but thats when the JT was the daily. Now this will be. And by daily it's still not much. Office is 2 miles away and I only go there maybe once a month. Town is 60 miles each way and I usually only make that trip 2-6...

    Mopar manual transmission fluid equivalent

    I will definitely just run it till it blows up or until the problem becomes obvious enough to fix, and work on picking up a second one to have rebuilt in the mean time. I actually like the 6spd, despite so many who hate it. An auto swap wouldn't be bad either but isn't the 42RLE in the same...

    Mopar manual transmission fluid equivalent

    Funny timing. I just was told by 2 tranny shops in town they will not touch a NSG-370. they claimed no parts available for rebuilding them. Kinda makes a guy nervous for what to do if it blows up. Local shop ended up putting synchromesh in it for the service 2 years ago and man either it, the...

    Getting TJ ready for daily driving, LJ for weekend fun - not a rock crawler

    So I started now to go down the rabbit hole of OME shocks. And I find it interesting that the shock's they recommend to go along with particular springs, are no longer available and not going to be re-stocked. So says the catalogue anyway. So it brings to question - are they just selling off...

    Getting TJ ready for daily driving, LJ for weekend fun - not a rock crawler

    So I stopped by the 4x4 shop today. Funny one of the guys used to work for AEV and knows a lot about their design stuff. Anyway. I wont be able to remove the JJ's without welding. It looks like all of the frame side mounts have been reamed out. I thought they were still the stock size and a...

    Buchanan seat risers (wow!)

    oh this is awesome, I was about to get some cheaper 1.5" risers but was hoping there was a 2" option somewhere.

    Getting TJ ready for daily driving, LJ for weekend fun - not a rock crawler

    ARB tech support got back to me this morning. "The only information and specifications we have available for the springs are listed on the OME Catalog which is attached to this email for your reference." Seems like maybe the 2939 and 2946 springs are no longer since they are on the website but...

    Reunited and it feels so good - Inca Gold TJ Rubicon suspension recommendations

    This must have been a gold mine then.... I passed it up, seemed like it was hiding some rust and looked like it had a fresh clean re-spray.

    What Insurance Will Cover Our Jeeps Offroad?

    This is quoting something old but since you mentioned them.... I specifically asked USAA about this a few years ago, I have them as well unfortunately, and I was told no coverage off off a city, state, national, or county road. so basically any forest service road, blm, etc... zero coverage...

    Jeep LJ tub rear section not on frame

    Looks to me like that frame has been modified.... Maybe it wasn't welded back together with the proper measurements.

    Oops forgot the pic.... Also, just to make sure I"m not misleading anyone by mistake on the purpose for my two Jeeps - I am not building for rock crawling. My body can't take that and I have too many medical issues. The TJ G.E. will be my 'daily'. Daily meaning the office is 3 minutes away...

    Getting TJ ready for daily driving, LJ for weekend fun - not a rock crawler

    I also decided to dig into the OME spring specs a little - after some reading of other experiences and build's that gave me a better understanding for rate vs length. Anywahoo, I was a little disappointed to see that OME (ARB) doesnt list specs for all of their springs. Outside vendors also...

    Getting TJ ready for daily driving, LJ for weekend fun - not a rock crawler

    The hate is not meant literally. But having simple answers to a potentially complex situation, especially when a person wants to actually understand, doesnt' help. I don't like to hear the 'this is better' 'that is better' argument. Without context, tts meaningless. Because a person saying...

    LJ Frame Question

    I think drilling a 3/16" hole on either side of the stock skid plate is still suggested as well to prevent water buildup.

    Getting TJ ready for daily driving, LJ for weekend fun - not a rock crawler

    Ok so after doing some more reading and looking I want to see what can be suggested. So my TJ has rode like total garbage ever since the 4" rock jock suspension has been installed. It felxes fantastically, but the NVH is terrible. I was reminded just by how much a few months ago when I picked...
