    Manual clutch bouncing when released

    I had what seemed like chatter but was actually a bad transmission mount.

    Front end crunch

    It must have taken a pretty big hit to do that. I wonder if the frame stub there and the cross tube are bent. It looks like the bumper is bent enough to at least hit the cross tube. Another thing….. we‘ve seen multiple instances here of a Jeep stopping suddenly while the motor kept going...

    Has Anyone Tried JDMSPEED New Universal Electric Power Window Kits?

    I’ve had “Electric Life” window winders and locks for about 6 years now. Everything works well enough. The locks have to be adjusted every couple of years.

    Hobart 210 MVP

    What Mike_H said. Same thing with me. I was also disappointed that the 210MP would not do TIG on aluminum. You can buy an MIG spool gun for aluminum that works with it but I think that is probably a pretty poor substitute. So I bought a Weldpro TIG machine that is AC/DC and has RF start. It got...

    Hobart 210 MVP

    I have a Lincoln 210MP. I bought it because I wanted to do both MIG and TIG. It does MIG very well but it uses “lift start” for TIG. I am not coordinated enough to get good results with that. I finally bought a dedicated TIG welder with RF start. I find it so much easier to use.

    05-06 4.0 NSG370 Shift Tower Options?

    The B&M shifter does not fix the NSG370 problem but it does mask it. I installed the shifter because of the shorter throws and better feel. I still have some difficulty getting into reverse at times but there are no other problems. Eventually I may have my transmission overhauled so I can have...

    05-06 4.0 NSG370 Shift Tower Options?

    The Barnes skid plate is real cheap and easy to install. Just sayin…..

    05-06 4.0 NSG370 Shift Tower Options?

    I have the B&M shifter on my 2006 TJR. It fits without interference but I have a Barnes skid plate that raises the transmission about one inch. Without that the shifter would probably hit the bezel.

    '05 shifter bezel fit with new shifter

    It is not exactly the simplest solution, but a 1 inch tummy tuck will take care of the problem. That is what I have in my 2006 with the B&M shifter and there is no interference. Wow, I just noticed this is my 1000th post!

    Clutch Replacement

    I had the same experience when I replaced my clutch. It was light as a feather but it worked perfectly.

    Has anyone tested these 4.0 headers and carbs from Cliffords?

    Dual Webers? No way! You need three Webers.

    What airline do you prefer and why?

    I hate flying the airlines.

    Rough ride

    The OME 2942 rear springs are 10mm shorter and have a 20 lbs per inch greater rate than the 2941 springs. I am not sure if those two factors typically yield the same ride height but they do tend to compensate for each other.

    How to install a cabin filter

    I am going to try. On our last trip we flat towed the Jeep over a couple of hundred miles of dusty dirt roads. The resulting dust in the cabin (and everywhere else) was horrible. I bought some magnetic sheets to try on the front and rear vents for the next trip.

    Cheap eBay rear tire carrier review

    The current Smittybilt XRC has a pivot with a flange that bolts to the top surface but the pivot extends down into the bumper and is braced at the bottom end. It is very stout.

    Coolant leak, but from where?

    That is a poor design indeed then.
