    Fuel Pump Suggestions

    I installed the Motobilt Fuel Cell in the bed of my ‘05 LJ. Everything went smoothly (I’ll post the details in my build thread soon). However, I would have never guessed how loud the fuel pump whines. The brand is Detroit Axle, it’s brand new. Does anyone know of a brand that is relatively...

    DIY Beadlocks

    Does anyone have any experience with Motobilt's DIY Bead Locks? Or, any others? Based on the price of new bead locks and having a very capable welder as a son, I can't help but consider these as an option. As always, any insight is appreciated. Thanks in advance...

    Bucking and Stalling Out of Nowhere

    I have seen several posts with very similar symptoms: while driving and after engine is warm, jeep starts to buck and will stall as if out of gas gas gauge drops to zero (despite a full tank) and check engine light appears must pull key and reinsert to restart shifting into neutral and giving...

    Deep East Texas LJ Build

    Now that I am a year into being a jeep owner and have definitely drank the kool aid, I thought I would start my own build thread. If it’s not interesting to anyone else, it will be a platform to help me keep track of what I have down. And, maybe provide some nostalgia at some point. March 2024...

    Making the Switch to a 4:1 Transfer Case

    Fuel Tank, Fuel Pump, Skid Plate, Filler Neck

    My tank is leaking and from what I've read, it cannot be replaced. I have enough projects going on and do not want to shell out the $ for the nice new ones. I have the fuel tank + skid plate + fuel pump + filler neck, etc from an '04. Is there any reason those will not work for my '05?

    Rear Control Arm Bushing

    2005 LJ. I need to replace the rear control arm bushing, but I’m not sure where to find the correct parts. I’ve attached pictures of the old bushing, the rear control arms and other pics in hopes that someone can help me identify the lift kit that I have. And, point me in the right direction for...
