    Transfer case shifter linkage - 42RLE

    Its fairly common for the linkage to detach on the transmission side due to the little plastic retainer breaking and crumbling. However it does not seem to be the same size or type as the retainer that connects the linkage to the shifter in the cab. Does anyone have a source or part number? I...

    SumoSprings vs. DuroSpring

    Curious if anyone has had experience with either or both products and what the performances differences experienced were. SumoSprings are marketed as increasing load capacity - not my particular intent DuroSprings are marketed as decreasing jarring impacts of bump stops - more in line with my...

    Hardtop Options: Gr8Tops Safari Top vs Bull Dawg Highlander

    I am interested if anyone has personal experience with either of these tops. My LJ currently has a Gr8Tops half cab top and bulkhead but I am not a fan and need a full length hard top. Hard tops only - I have no interest in a soft top. Gr8Tops -...

    NP231 transfer case failure: a source for heavy vibration / grinding?

    Trying to sort out a very nasty vibration/grinding happening lately for the last year or so. Last year I had a local shop service the TJ. They 'forgot' to put rear diff fluid back in. :mad::mad::mad:😞 10 miles down the interstate outside town, I came to a halt - and immediately knew what went...

    Rear seat bracket hardware and tie-down bolt specs

    I am looking to see if anyone knows the thread size/pitch for the bolts that hold down the seat brackets. I am also looking for the bolt specs for the tie down loops at the very rear of the tub. This thread gives a part number but I didnt find any specs floating around...

    Freedom Eagle

    I considered wrapping both these Jeeps in the same thread but it makes more sense to keep them separated. I started some stuff on the other forum years ago, feel free to look if you are so inclined but I'll just copy the intro because it's meaningful. I've always loved Jeeps. As a kid I...

    NSG370 to 42RLE swap questions

    The good old discussion about trans swaps. I have been doing a lot of reading, but still have a few questions to ask, as well as some things to consider. **Important disclaimer** I do NOT rock crawl. Rock crawling does not apply here. I never have, and now my body thanks to Uncle Sam is too...

    Frame side front track bar - is there a sleeve?

    I am working on returning my TJ to mostly stock ride height - maybe a 2" lift at the most, preferably stock springs with maybe a 3/4" spacer. This is my daily, and the forest service roads here in no way require the current 4" rock jock I have - I will not be rock crawling in my future and it...

    Getting TJ ready for daily driving, LJ for weekend fun - not a rock crawler

    Good morning all! Man do I love all these forums, such great sources of information. Been poking around a lot here and the other one before some of us older folks migrated and it appears I am out of my "TJ game" having kinda neglected the G.E. the last 5 years. Anyway, I am working on...

    The Old Man Jeep (a '06 LJ build)

    Well it sure is nice to see some familiar names! It's been some time since being a part of a TJ forum but I am back after some years of life events. Over the years I had the joy of working on a few different builds. From my original TJ...

    Greetings all!

    Thought I would introduce myself here. Thanks to @TheBoogieman for letting me know about this forum. I have been a decently long member of another forum but took a several year break with life events. I find myself back. I have a pretty cool 06 TJ G.E. that I purchased in cira 2012 that has a...
