    Chasing death wobble, check out my track bar

    Like I said, I’ve done the dry steering test (have someone wiggle steering wheel as I watch as well as go lock to lock) about a dozen times, before I started and after every change. I can’t see any movement. Thanks though.

    Chasing death wobble, check out my track bar

    I’m chasing down death wobble on my 06 LJ. About a year before it started I already replaced my ball joints and hubs. I also just installed Currie currectlync last month and torqued everything to exact spec. I had the wheels/tires rebalanced, and when they did a shitty job, I installed balance...

    Best Current AC and Heater Core Parts Available

    I'm also curious. I need to replace my heater core on my 2006 LJ. It might be the best, but I just can't stomach over $400 for a heater core from brassworks.

    Steering stabilizer install

    What am I doing wrong? It’s got to be something obvious and stupid that I’m missing. I thought this was going to be a simple quick job, two bolts, but it’s been a pain in the ass 🙄😂. First, I had to take the tie rod off to make room to get the the bolt above the track bar out, now I can’t get...

    Anyone familiar with the AEV 104?

    Anyone seen, have, or have info on the AEV 104? Obviously not as long of wheelbase as the 112. What else? Compared to an LJ?

    AEV 112 the original LJ?

    What would you consider worth more, an AEV 112 or an LJ built up with similar equipment?

    AEV 112 the original LJ?

    Can anyone run down the differences between the 2000+ AEV 112s and the Jeep 2004-2006 LJs? I found a thread where they were mentioned, but not a ton of details, so forgive me if I missed something.

    One of the main reasons I love these TJs

    Agree 100%. There isn't anything better than being able to look up and see the stars in the night sky while you feel the breeze on your skin driving offroad or on the pavement. Going on a drive to relax, wind down or cool off is a go-to for me, too.

    Quick BBK Install Question

    We’re currently installing the Black Magic Vanco 15”/16” Big Brake Kit on the LJ and I was wondering if it’s typical to need to clearance the dust shield a bit to clear the caliper saddle bolt when installed at the inner position for 15” rims or if we did something incorrectly? Pics included...

    Crown or Mopar header seal?

    I have majorly increased wind noise and when doing the paper test, it flutters. I guess it's time for a new header seal. Has anyone had luck with the crown version or do I need to drop the extra benjamin for the trusted Mopar header seal?

    Mike Wasowski '04 Electric Lime Green TJ

    Picked up a little utility trailer from offerup today. It’s the 5x8 aluminum kit from northern tool. I’ll be upgrading the tires and probably the axle, too, ASAP. It will be a good little general use trailer for now. Hoping to get it upgraded and registered ASAP to take to pickup our African...

    School me on aluminum, steel, and galvanic corrosion

    OK, I know aluminum and steel can coexist happily because like many here, I'm running aluminum parts on a mostly steel jeep like Savvy's aluminum front bumper, steering skid, and UCF rear tire carrier bumper which is an aluminum and steel combo. I recently started researching for buying a...

    Very cool build! This is definitely on my list of projects I'd like to do. Thanks for sharing.

    What is better, a frameless top or the stock hardtop?

    My TJ came with the factory hard top and my LJ came with a rampage frameless soft top. I would take the factory hard top any day if I had to pick one out of those specific two. MUCH quieter and lasts better in the AZ sun. That being said, I put a new framed bestop twill on my TJ recently and...

    Rare Wild Boar LJ Fastback Hardtop

    I like the look. I'd buy it if you were local.

    Is it possible to upgrade the A/C?

    Back in 2005 I drove a '91 4x4 3/4ton suburban. I'd installed remote start to get it cooling before I got in, insulated the interior headspace with second skin ceramic coating, double sided insulation and a new custom headliner, but that big beast was still difficult to get cool on 110* days in...

    Air conditioning only works sometimes when I start the Jeep

    Maybe a vacuum leak? I had a vacuum leak on the firewall above the heater hoses which would cause the AC to seem like it worked or didn't sometimes depending on if I was pushing the gas.
