    Completed a TT on Friday, that was a job!

    All in all not too bad.. To save myself a ton more work because of the B&M shifter tower hitting the tunnel (taller than stock) and extra exhaust work, I am about 1.25" from being flat underneath. Also went from 2.5" lift springs to 3" and added the savvy cable shifter. Already had a 1" MML...

    Stuck with 17's (on 33's) just not many options for offset

    Okay so, PO added these wheels and I hate them. I needed new tires and well probably 10K in other things right away, so I bought the new rubber and just ignored the wheels, until now. Would like to put something a little more my age on there but the options are horrible. Current wheels 9 wide...

    Preparing for tummy tuck, crossmember questions

    Has there been a definitive answer on DIY or TMR, etc, crossmembers with rubber bushings VS. the Poly. Specifically, do rubber bushings eliminate the need to use the stock trans mount to eliminate vibes? This looks like a fun project. I have the capability to do all this at home and...

    Super quick steering response from 06 TJ

    My kids new to him 2006 on 2.5" springs... Steering was a little washy but really twitchy, quick. Did a dry steer inspection, found a steering tie rod and front trac bar bushing bad. Replaced all with new trac bar and ZJ steering, set toe and she is stable but man is the steering still...

    Anything to look for on a 2006 TJ 6-speed?

    My boy is looking at one tomorrow with 100k on it. Any reason to be concerned about 2006's? Don't know much about them. Thx!

    Runs like a champ, idles like crap

    Idles low and rough! Before you tell me to clean the IAC, I have done just that, including replaced every single sensor, T-body, coil, the "correct" plugs, nothing left.. No vac leaks, no intake leak.. Nothing has changed it. I'm to the point where it has to be ECU or engine itself...

    Removing rear driveshaft to test for vibes

    I have a droning vibe at 65+ that is a constant off on, off on... Is it really okay to remove the rear DS and test drive at these speeds? This is only provided that my front DS removal test doesn't work. I do have an SYE and DC rear shaft and have setup as discussed on the forum. Not...

    Forum trolling karma got me! (Rancho shocks)

    Not sure why I would read threads labeled "shocks"? As soon as I did and read that people were having issues with new Rancho 5KX, my LF, 6K mile shock is squeaking like a bit$h... Don't see any oil seeping, what the heck man?

    First snow this morning in the PNW (well South Central)

    Been driving in snow since I started driving, was a snowmobiler for over 1/2 my life. I'm committed to driving the TJ (first year owning one) because well, I love it and my diesel gets to stay clean and dry in my shop. It's funny the pucker factor I already have for the tiny wheel base, even...

    Getting ready to install a SYE

    So my kit will be here in a couple of days for my 2002. Will I be reinstalling the transfer case balancer or not? Should I worry about getting all 4 adjustable rear control arms or just the uppers? I think I saw where Chris suggested Core 4x4 as a decent budget minded option for these...

    Low idle, miss at idle, no codes, no problems under load

    This in a 2002 4.0. Not exactly sure when this started but this low idle is annoying, as you need to bump the throttle at a stop to get the R's up to start letting off the clutch (more than normal). I have read a ton of threads on this and tried just about everything with exception to a couple...

    If RMS is leaking will it only leak behind the transmission?

    Can or will it leak only behind the trans, bellhousing cover? Recently replaced RMS and pulled tranny for new clutch, etc., and my leak is coming from only between the bell housing and cover plate, not the oil pan side. Prior to replacing the RMS is was coming from both sides. Wonder if I am...

    Horrible squealing sound coming from front driveshaft output

    Just replaced almost everything under the Jeep, I did replace both output seals as well. After driving about 40 miles, it is absolutely screaming from tis area. Any ideas? I will have to drop the drive shaft to see what's going on, can't see under the metal seal cover.

    Gear pattern opinion please!

    I feel like everything I look at that this is good? .008 backlash. I wiped the front paint off with my glove upon removing

    Absolutely impossible rear main seal installation

    I'm telling you there is no way to stop this from happening without lowering the crank. Is the area rolled in the pic going to affect the seal or is it just the inside?

    NV3550 leak location?

    A rear main leak lead to pulling the trans, as well as some other work. There has not been any evidence on the floor of trans/x-case area leak at all but clearly leaking from top and output seals. Any idea how the top is leaking out? Boot looked to be in good shape and dry, maybe it wasn't...

    Dana 44 housing groove?

    This normal or did all this shrapnel cause it? This is the left hand carrier side, looks like pieces of the clutch pack everwhere.

    Is it worth adding a SYE?

    With only 4.5 of lift and 33's, is an SYE worth spending the coin on right now? Have no vibes.

    02 TJ Dana 44 / Dana 30 both use crush sleeve?

    Going to be receiving master rebuild kits soon and curious if I should by the eliminator kits? I get quite a few mixed answers while surfing.
