    The myth of the "self centering axle" is a crock!

    I'd insert a poll here but 1. I can't I'm too angry to figure out how and B. In spite of what some have said/posted, I think we all know it's not true... Trying to adjust the rear trackbar to center the axle under the body. It seems don't have a ratchet strap strong enough to move the body as...

    Got adjustable control arms, now what?

    With my Rockjock lift/savvy arms installed, I'm faced with a TON of new adjustability in my suspension. I've got a good case of paralysis by analysis. I started typing this post by attempting to outline my thinking for the correct procedure and order of adjustment... But I'd rather hear from...

    Low profile center caps?

    Got a set of pretty standard American Racing steel wheels. I'm looking for low-profile, push-through center cap for them. My Google-Fu is failing me... Can anyone point me in the right direction? Center bore is 2.858" (72.593 mm).

    When to get the driveshaft?

    I'm trying to avoid paying twice... I'm installing my 3" Savvy lift on my Rubi, soon. I have a body lift and motor mount ordered. Down the road, I'm planning to do Savvy's tummy tuck, also. When will l need to call Tom Wood? I think the answer to my question is, "Do the suspension lift and see...

    Johnny joint assembly... Different color washers?

    While disassembling and inspecting/lubing my new JJs, I noted that the rear uppers have a gold washer on one side and a silver washer on the other... I perceived no difference between the two outside of color. 1. IS there a difference (besides color)? 2. Does it make a difference which washer...

    Mounting a sub in a non-sub console (What can I expect?)

    I have a TJ-Rubi that came without a sub. I have the standard, all-the-way-to-the-center-of-the-earth depth console. I also have the Kicker Hideaway powered sub. Tonight I pulled the console to see if I could hide the sub in the console. It seems this one is a touch too big... So I started...

    When to pull the trigger?

    This is a "will they have a sale" question. I'm getting ready to drop some coin on a lift from Savvy. With supply chain issues and parts availability being what it is, should I make the purchase now and start the wait, or hold out for a possible Black Friday style sale, save some cash, and...

    U-Joints: Greaseable vs Non

    I've read some discussions here surrounding strength concerns when a zerk is installed in a U-joint. I was reading some info at Tom Wood's site that didn't mention strength concerns, but longevity of a well maintained (ie: regularly greased) joint vs one that is sealed. What's the consensus...

    Teflon tape on this CO2 tank connection?

    Am I correct in thinking there should NOT be a need to use teflon tape on *this* connection from my tank to the regulator? There *IS* a hard plastic washer/gasket in the regulator itself.

    Is this how the soft upper door windows work?

    This is my first TJ with half doors. Am I missing something with the windows or is this the best solution?

    Where'd you mount your CO2 tank?

    I'm putting my DIY tank together next week. I bought THIS MOUNT, but compared to the POWERTANK bracket, it's pretty bulky (though it's less than half the price of the PowerTalk option. The back of my TJ is completely open. No tool boxes or storage built in at this point. I have a powered sub...

    Anyone good at tuning stereo systems?

    I've recently installed a Kenwood head unit, polk 5.25" in the dash and sound bar, a 4ch 75w sound ordnance amp and 8" sound ordnance sub. Amp high pass is set to just above 50 per the speaker specs. They sound mid heavy and like they are focused through a tube. The sub sounds boomy, no matter...

    Yukon Gear & Axle YHCC-Dana 44 Black Hardcore Differential Cover

    Does the collective have any experience with this diff cover? It looks stout and low profile. I think it would stay out of the way of steering, etc. If not this one, what's a good upgrade option?

    Help me put together a solid build plan

    Hey all. I wonder if I might be able to get some help with my build plan. I have a spread sheet/list of what I want to do/install, and I'm constantly tweaking the order of my plan to achieve the best course forward. I also over think things. I WANT TO BUILD SMART. I don't want to have to do...

    Colorado Rear Seat w/Belts & Brackets, Complete (2004 TJ)

    This Jeep was born and raised in Colorado. No mold, smoke or rust. Very good condition. Very little wear. I'm not even sure anyone has ever sat in the thing. It folds! It tumbles! It secures people (or cargo) in the rear of your currently seat-less Jeep. The supremely sit-able seat, the...
