I wouldn't waste my time on a filter with a nitrile anti-drainback valve when I can get a Tough Guard at a reasonable price that has the much better silicone valve. When they fail they generally cause a dry start which is never a good thing.

Does anyone know if Rick is still selling his radio mounts? They were great. I'm going to email him at rickhea@gmail.com to see if he 1) replies and 2) if he still has any for sale. Edit: He replied within a few minutes and it's great news, he still makes them to order for TJs and JKs.

Pure bullshit. I used to think Fram filters were shit too. I keep this photo as a reminder of how much I hated them at one point, it's a snip of where it sits my huge collection of Jeep related photos. Look dead-center... As in Fram Piece Of Shit filter. I actually believed that at one...

If his was stolen like mine was, there's no realistic way to prevent it unless you can focus a camera on it and watch it. Kill switches and burglar alarms don't faze pro Jeep thieves like are operating in San Diego to steel them for the drug cartels in remote areas of Mexico. No one pays...

Oh fawk no, I'm really sorry for you! My previous TJ was stolen in San Diego 14 years ago and I never saw it again. I was told it was seen on video crossing the border into Mexico a couple days later. Good Luck getting yours back!!!!!

Don't give my wife any ideas. 🤣

What size tires?

4340? I will agree it's not impossible to twist them, I just never had any problems with the 4340 27 spline front shafts in my previous TJ.

I've never broken either of my two different 4340 shafts, 30 spline in my Dana 44 and not even the 27 spline Warn shafts in my previous Dana 30.

Our 4.0 loves the correct model iridium plug like the Autolite XP985 which I have run for probably 20 years. Autolike isn't even sure when they will wear out. They examined a set with 200k miles on them under an electron scanning microscope and no wear/erosion at the electrode was detectable.

That interval is way excessive for most needs and isn't recommended by Jeep. It was Jiffy Lube who first started pushing that stupid-short interval for normal driving situation... they just wanted customers coming in more often. If I have been wheeling in very dirty/dusty conditions I'll go...

That's a rumor I don't buy. Beside China there are some very high quality manufacturers in S. Korea and India.

Personally I wouldn't run RCVs if they were free. Their "claim to fame" is they claim u-joints bind and don't transfer power smoothly and have more friction but to me that's bullshit where a TJ is concerned. They're a fix in search of a problem that isn't there. Their downside is, besides their...

In talking with RGA (Brook Hilton their GM), their Discovery shafts are built to the exact specifications their USA made shafts are and he said, in his opinion, they're the equal in all regards The only way they can justify the higher cost of the USA made shafts is with a lifetime warranty vs...

Alloy USA and Ten Factory have good reputations too. I ran some Alloy USA 4340 Dana 44 shafts years ago and they were problem-free.

@Chris you will probably need to initiate the pm to him.

X2!!

Nice job confirming the problem Jeep Chick. 👍

What I actually said was "The same process works for all years it works on except for 98-99 and, I think, very early '00 TJs." @Wranglerfix Mark can you suggest why this isn't working on his '97? Did it stop working in late '97 TJs?

Amazon is often wrong about that. Personally I'd go with a 15x8 wheel. There's a significantly larger selection of 15" wheels and tires than there is for 16" and prices are usually higher for 16".
