    Spare tire in the back seat area

    Recently removed my spare tire carrier and plan to just carry my spare in the back whenever I go offroad, and I'm trying to come up with ways to carry the spare and also leave enough room to carry a cooler with me or something. My two initial thoughts were laying the spare flat on the bottom and...

    02 Tj Sport 4.0L

    Backstory I'm a little late making my build thread but oh well. I bought this jeep a little over 4 years ago in my sophomore year of HS to replace a beat-up pos 99 Tj with a 4 cyl and rotted body mounts that I had for just a year beforehand. It's a 2002 Sport with a 5-speed and a 4.0L. I bought...

    4.88 or 5.13 gears?

    So next up on my upgrade list (after some frame/rust repair first) is regearing and adding lockers. I currently have 33s on 3.73 gears and it is my DD, and not sure whether to go to 4.88 or 5.13s. The reason I have 5.13s on my mind is because I do want to eventually move to 35s. However, this...

    Gearing

    So I've been looking at gearing just for fun. And I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what reverse gear ratios, short pinion, or the thick type are. And also when and why a new carrier would be needed. I've also seen lockers that require either a certain spline count or ratio.

    Affects of a Body Lift

    My Savvy 1.25in BL came in yesterday and I'm planning on installing it today. Just wanted to ask before I start is what all does a BL affect? I know it can sometimes people can't shift to 4 low, but other than that I'm not 100% sure what all it affects. Such as the steering column?

    Lift Height Confusion

    Alright fellas, I'm kinda confused here. So I have a rough country 2.5 inch lift that was on my jeep when I bought it. I know it is a 2.5 lift because rough country doesn't sell a spring that is less than 2.5 inches, but when I measured my coil springs, here is what I found... Is it possible...

    Tire Cover and Side Steps

    Have some stock side steps and a spare tire cover for a 31" tire. The steps are not perfect by any means but arent beat up either. The tire cover is a hard style one and has probably spent about 50-100 miles on my jeep until I went up to 33's and it's just been sitting in my garage since. Side...

I currently have the Dana 30/Dana 44 setup and I am running 33-inch tires, but going to eventually move up to 35's sometime in the future. To beef up the axles my plan...
