    Should I replace my OPDA if it works?

    I replaced mine at 100k. For me the job went very smoothly and I had no difficulty. The trouble with keeping one on the shelf is that by the time you decide to replace it because you hear noise, the cam shaft may already be toast and now you have a much larger problem.

    Core4x4 front track bar rubs differential

    Is it just the angle of the photo or is that track bar mount bent? I believe the bolt should be vertical and it looks to be off at an angle.

    SOLD Curie CE-9300 one inch body lift kit

    Curie (now Rockjock) CE-9300 one inch body lift kit, new, never installed. It looks like the street price for these is $275 (an absolutely ridiculous price IMHO). I will sell for $100 plus shipping. I’ve actually got two of these kits and will let both of them go for $150 plus shipping. Yeah, I...

    Intermittent blinking engine light only when idling (no codes)

    I have not had any misfiring issues at all. It has run flawlessly for 5 years. Perhaps your stumble at idle is due to the idle air valve?

    California 2006 Factory soft top with Hardware

    Sorry, I don’t know what that is. The top came with my 2006 TJ and was purchased by the PO or the owner before that. It also had a hard top and as best as I can determine the soft top was never put on. Actually, I cannot swear that it is OEM but I think it is. It has the frame and all the...

    This is a black soft top for a TJ with the full doors. The frame and all of the hardware is included. I believe this top has never been mounted. It looks to be in perfect condition. $300 plus shipping.

    Help assessing steering damage after icy road impact

    When I did nearly the same thing, the steering wheel offset was about. 90 degrees. The track bar didn’t even look bent but I replaced it and everything was back to normal.

    Vibration around 50-55

    Download a vibration analyzer for your smart phone. If the frequency is 8 to 9 Hz it is tires. If it is around 4 times that it is driveshaft related.

    Words cannot describe this steering / track bar setup...

    The kludgey frame side track bar mount looks like it would just invite death wobble. The bracket has a bolt through the top of it which acts as a pivot on another chunk of metal that bolts to the OEM track bar mount. Then there is the bar from the bracket over to the other side of the frame to...

    Front end clunking / popping at slow speeds

    Not sure if this is the best way but I would put it in 4wd, lift one wheel and look for any play in that U-joint when you try to rotate the tire. Then do the other side. You will of course get some movement of the axle shafts due to the play in the differential, transfer case, etc., but you are...

    Front end clunking / popping at slow speeds

    How about the axle U-joints?

    Truck Campers

    I believe this truck was overweight even before anything was put in the camper. The camper plus water and propane was about 5500 lbs. That is about the payload capacity of base model truck (no 4WD, crewcab, diesel, etc.). As equipped the payload was probably around 5000 lbs. Then add a...

    Viair 400H Onboard Air Compressor Install (Lots of Photos)

    Sorry, no pictures. It is just some sheet metal bent into an L with a flange at the bottom to mount to the ABS tray. It has held up for about 4 years now.
