    I think I'm gonna stick with 33s (questions)

    Ok so when I bought this Jeep I was gung ho to build it on 35's eventually. After driving it daily and going out wheeling i'm pretty happy with the 33's it has on it. My daughters are going to get this thing in a couple of years anyway so i'm thinking of leaving it on 33's and building around...

    Questions / advice on how to convince my wife to get a Jeep

    Ok so i'm moving to Reno, NV in the next few months. My wife drives a 2012 Cadillac SRX and just loves it. I'm trying to convince her that she needs a 4wd vehicle once we get there.

    AX-15 clutch issue question

    Ok so i've noticed in the past week or two after i've been driving the Jeep all day, to and from work lets say, when I let the clutch out and give it gas it's not smooth. If you were riding in it with me you would think i've never driven a stick before and just suck at driving. It doesn't do it...

    Is this a good deal on a Dana 60?

    I'm assuming this is a good deal for this if it's not gone already? I have a '99 TJ. Thanks! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/d/concord-g2-currie-rockjock-dana-60/6901598626.html

    California Rancho RS5000X shocks for 0" lift ($180 shipped)

    So I have a brand new set of Rancho RS5000X shocks for a stock Jeep TJ. If you read my other posts I thought I had a stock TJ with just a body lift and bought these from Amazon and installed them. Drove them down the street and almost broke my back, lol. Found out I have a 3" lift so ordered new...

    RPMs stay high when clutch is pressed-in and in neutral

    Ok so a new one this morning, driving at say 40 mph in 3rd gear or 4th gear, coming up to a light I put the clutch in and put it in neutral, RPM'S drop from 2500ish to 1500 and stay there as I'm coasting. Will drop to 1250 and then go back up. If I leave it in gear and let the motor bring the...

    So what's really under my TJ?

    So when I bought my TJ I thought it had a 2" body lift only, found out it has a 3" suspension lift and a 1" body lift. It's sitting on 33's. It has 4.56 gears with stock Dana 30/35. Control arms are stock, steering is stock. I just put a set of Rancho RS5000X shocks and steering stabilizer...

    Rancho steering stabilizer install question

    So the stabilizer I got comes with the hardware to mount it to the steering. I had installed it on the stabilizer first and then when I went to put it into the steering the hole is not big enough. It's a strange mounting position anyway. So I just took it off and just used the stock hardware...

    Ok so I installed some new Rancho RS5000x shocks this weekend and here is what is going on, need some advise. My TJ had the stock shocks on it, 2" body lift and 33" tires. My gas pedal is pretty light, don't need to push it hard at all to get it to rev up fast. I drove a buddy's YJ and his...

    Steering column moves a bit

    Ok so lately i've noticed that my steering wheel/column moves up and down a bit. I have one that tilts and can be moved but I don't recall it having this "play" or "slop" in it. Before I tear into it i'd like to know if anyone else had this issue? If I grab the steering wheel while driving or...

I bought this: https://www.extremeterrain.com/crown-automotive-ax15-transmission-gear-shifter-knob-8899-yj-tj.html I installed it but it’s upside down.

    Can new spark plugs really make a difference?

    I'm going to answer my own question with a resounding YES! So I bought my Jeep with 142,000 miles on it. Did the usual oil change to start and then transmission fluid and transfer case fluid. I've been driving it for a few months now and it seems to run great. This past weekend I decided to...

    Axle upgrade parts list and questions

    Ok, so my Jeep is a '99 Sport 4.0 Mainly stock with a 2" body lift and sitting on 33's right now. Someone put in 4.56 gears but no lockers. It has Dana 30/35 in it.

    Question.....I will be doing the Super 35 and beefing up the front 30 on my Jeep as well. Someone already put in 4.56 gears front and rear. When I get the parts to have this done and get lockers am I going to have to replace those 4.56 gears with other ones? Or can I use what's in there and add...

    Interior floor paint question

    Ok so when I got my Jeep it didn't have any carpet in it. I have asked for a BedRug carpet kit (I think that's what it's called) for my birthday and pretty sure it's on the way. So i'd like to clean the floor and paint it before installing the carpet kit. I am also most likely going to sound...
