    Death wobble, fully rebuilt front end

    So I've got this jeep that I've had for about two years now, did pretty much everything frame down fresh, new axles, new steering, new trackbar, the whole 9 yards. Its probably easier for me to list what I haven't changed. Basically the only parts that arent fresh are the axle side lower control...

    Body mount bolt seized in sleeve

    Anyone have any suggestions for the best way to remove this body mount bolt? If worse comes to worst, I can completely cut the bolt out and redrill it, the captive nut is semi accessible to me within the tubs channels so I should be able to get a nut on the bolt. However I would prefer to try...

    Rockauto shipping rant

    Another Rockauto rant thread. Picked up a cheap denso radiator to try and swap in over the weekend since my old rad blew out through the crimp seams near the top. Decided to order thermostat, housing, gasket, and radiator cap at same time. Rockauto packaged everything together into a single box...

    Rear shock relocation options (besides outboard)

    Hey guys, I’ve got a project Jeep ive finally gotten put together and rolling around. In the rear I’m running a ford 8.8 axle, and have it stretched back around 6-8 inches, making the rear shocks almost vertical. The major issue I’m having is that the stretch has severely limited my up travel...

    Brand new hub stud failure and subsequent damage

    Just finished putting together a project jeep I acquired a couple months back and took it wheeling for the first time. Coming back from the trip (less than 10 mile drive) and driving around the next day I started hearing a banging noise from the front end and the brakes seemingly start to grab...

    AX-15 wont leave neutral with engine running

    As the title states, I am unable to shift my ax-15 out of neutral with the vehicle on. Seems to shift relatively decent with the engine off. I put the vehicle in reverse while off, pressed the clutch pedal all the way down, and started the engine and it lurched backward. Seems like the clutch...

    Double shear trackbars

    Does anyone have any advice on what joints are safe to use in a trackbar that is in a double shear configuration? It seems any trackbar with the adjust-ability on the frame end link can be used in a double shear configuration without effecting the way the body of the trackbar interferes with the...

    Recommended grease for Currectlynk steering

    So I'm seeing some discrepancies online regarding the proper grease to use in my new currectlync steering. In the instructions themselves, they recommend to us a NON-SYNTETHEIC Hi-MOLY GREASE, and state they use "chevron high moly lube". I've also read people say that you shouldn't use a...

    Steering clunks / looseness / dead zone

    Hey guys, having some poor drivability symptoms specifically related to my steering. Everything feels relatively solid on straight roads, and the jeep drives straight. However, on roads with alot of divots or bumps things become more iffy. Basically, it almost feels like my steering is "flopping...

    High Praise For MetalCloak's Duroflex Double Adjustable Control Arms

    I have some high praise for the Duroflex Control Arm, TJ/LJ Double Adjustable Aluminum Short Arms made by MetalCloak. I recently installed them into my jeep due to needing to adjust some driveline and wheelbase measurements. I had concerns about my front driveline bottoming out w/ a combination...

    Adding 1.5 inch puck to lift as well as a 1.25 inch body lift

    Currently running on 3 inches suspension lift with 33s. I'm planning to upgrade to 35s soon, as that's what I geared my HP Dana 30 and Ford 8.8 to handle (4.56 gears, 3 spd auto). My shocks are the Rancho RS5000x, speced for 3.5 inches of lift. I'm thinking to fit the 35's, I want to add a 1 -...

    4.0 on 33's struggles to go past 60 mph

    4.0 on 33's, 3spd auto, 4.56 gears. Jeep has "trouble" going past 60-65 mph. If I do manage to get to that speed, i'm roughly sitting at 3100-3300 rpms. The jeep also makes a sort of "whining" noise whenever i'm at around 50 mph and start putting 45%-65% pedal pressure to start increasing the...

    Snapped rear most valve cover bolt

    Unfortunately while trying to torque the rear most drivers side valve cover bolt, the one next to the odd-ball larger bolt that holds a ground strap, I snapped it. I had a valve cover leak and thought tightening down the bolts would help me out. I made it all the way around the cover (bolts were...
