    SkyJacker front swaybar disconnects missing hardware?

    I recently bought these sway bar disconnects. Shouldn't it have another set of nuts & bolts for the lower half? And, shouldn't there be washers for the bolt heads as well as the nuts? And why do the SkyJackers have a bend in them? You see the old ones are straight tube.

    Evap codes (shop smoke test shows no leaks)

    Hi. I have 1 or 2 Evap codes on the simple OBD2 reader. I didn't want to buy a smoke machine and learn how to use it, so I took the Jeep to a shop. They said their smoke test didn't reveal a leak, so they recommended replacing the usual suspects, the canister and the purge valve. I said no...

    Brake service equals rabbit hole?

    I need brake pads on my LJR, and whenever I need to service or replace something, I always consider if an upgrade would have any significant benefit or value. So, since my stock brakes don't to a great job stopping on the road with 33" tires mounted, would it make sense to upgrade to better...

    Automatic Transmission Line Stuck to Radiator

    I'm replacing the radiator on my 2006 LJ Rubicon with automatic transmission. The two transmission lines that connect to the radiator are the "quick disconnect" type, and one is NOT disconnecting.
