    DEI Insulation Kit Website VS Amazon

    Been having a heat soak issue for a bit now and finally getting sick of it. I have insulation between injectors 3 and 4 that was installed a long time ago by my dad, but either it's shot or it's just not enough anymore. Looking at the DEI kit I noticed that while they sell it on their website...

    Skid Plate Thickness

    Seeing as the Barnes skid hasn't been in stock for a while, I decided to look at UCF skids again on a whim. Of course when I clicked on their website I get hit with a 15% off sale which doesn't state the end date to induce panic buying (and it's working). This is when I noticed that UCF has...

    What Pump Do Y'all Use?

    After my recent fiasco with changing my diff fluid, I figured it's time to figure out a better solution than the cheaply made auto store hand pumps. I know that there are some drill powered pumps out there but the ones I've found are all meant for garden hoses and water so I worry about the...

    Why Not Just Use The 32RH?

    I'll start this off by saying I know very very little about what goes into a transmission swap. I also do not know the major differences between the 42RLE and 32RH other than they are controlled differently (electronic vs hydraulic) and that the 42RLE has OD. That being said, I have read a few...

    Barnes Bolt On Skid Plate Driveshaft Clearance

    My front driveshaft has been rubbing on the stock skid plate for a bit now when drooping . I've been seriously thinking about buying the cable shifter and MML for a while now and figured that if I'm already going to have to take off the stock skid plate to install that, so I may as well never...

    Lares Rock Crawler Box (11430)

    Posting this to see if I can get updated information. Steering box has a leak and I recently found out about the Lares 11430. The little bit I can find is that its a new unit and it's a slightly upgraded version of the Durango box. Seems like a good deal for a mid tier upgrade for us that...

    Tips For Welding To An Axle

    As stated in my last thread, my rear track bar hits the gas tank skid and the only real way to fix it is to put on the RJ bracket and track bar. @Woodrow pulled through and got his old set to me, which I'm quite thankful for. What I didn't realize when hearing about it is that unlike the MC...

    Rear Track Bar Hits Gas Tank Skid

    Like I said in my build thread, I noticed yesterday that my rear track bar would not go into the bracket because it is hitting the gas tank skid. I could get it to sit on the edge of the bracket, but no more without really pulling on it. I took it to the alignment shop and they basically said...

    ARB Illumination Wire Sanity Check

    Almost done with my ARB install and need to figure out where to mount the LED I intend to use in lieu of using the actual switches to show the compressor is on/error codes. As far as I understand, the only purpose of the illumination wire is to tap into a source that only turns on when the...

    The Jeep: Learning as I go

    Decided to start a build thread to document what I've done/will do as time goes on, especially since I've gotten a lot of insight just by reading others' threads. Obviously a lot of history to go through first though! The Beginning: My parents purchased my Jeep on May 21, 2018, which I am very...

    ARB 5-Pin to 2-Pin Switches

    After my previous thread I finally ordered parts, namely an ARB compressor and rear locker. Looking at the switches included, they are 5 pin rocker switches that are plug and play with the harness included. These aren't bad per se, but I already have switches installed that worked with the...

    Rubicon Locker Replacement

    Just got done with my first Moab trip, came out with a lot to fix. Main thing being that my rear limited slip on the stock locker finally let go. I always lock the rear the whole time I'm off-road, but after coming off Hells Revenge today it felt like the rear end was locked on every turn. I...

    A/C Hose Leak

    Noticed my AC on full blast was blowing either slightly warm to barely cooler than the surrounding air. Bought a small can of R134a and a hose with a gauge to try and recharge it and noticed that the system wasn't really all that low. I only held the trigger no more than five seconds and it...

    Body Lift Without A Tuck

    Recently picked up a Savvy 1.25" body lift on marketplace for a good deal then got to thinking about what will change after installing it. I realized that the sticks for the transfer case and transmission will "sink" into the body some and that could cause issues. This upgrade most likely...

    Transfer Case Shift Lever Modification

    Does anyone have links to any write ups on how to take off the transfer case shift lever and modify it for a straight lever? I've seen it on here before and can't seem to find it. Additionally, does anyone know if the lever on an XJ is the same as a TJ or if there were changes made where they...

    Moab Advice

    Planning my first ever trip to Moab in May with a few friends and haven't had the time to research in depth. What are some recommendations for trails, rules we should know, good places to camp, or other things we should know before we leave? While most of us have some pretty "well-built rigs"...

    Tie Rod Too Long or Something Else?

    When I swapped my axles a few months ago I reused as much as I could, including steering. I did the ZJ tie rod swap a while back and it worked well for me on my old axles, but now on the new ones they are too long. I did not change any part of the alignment when I did the swap, and the tie rod...

    Rancho Front Shock Isolating Pads

    After finding a set of used RockJock 4" springs on marketplace, I've been looking into the other parts I'll need to get, namely the shocks. Currently thinking of buying the Rancho RS5000X RS55255 and RS55256 since I want a softer ride than the Bilsteins I currently have and don't have the money...

    A Hodgepodge of Questions (Another TJ Rubicon Axle Swap)

    Disclaimer: A lot of this is me trying to condense all my research and questions into one place so that hopefully it can be easier to wade through this project. The Story: After daily driving on stock 3.07 gears out of a 30/35 combo on 33's for years and having issues with hills and steep...

    Finally Saying Hi

    Howdy Y'all. Been roaming this forum for troubleshooting since I got my TJ over 7 years ago and finally decided to make an account. I have a big thread I'm about to write up so I thought that I'd introduce myself first. This forum has helped me countless times and taught me so much already...
