    Left front turn signal comes on when I hit the brakes

    Ha...mine does this too. Not sure if it's just my front signal, or both front and rear. Did it from the time I bought it new. Took it in and they "fixed it" for a while, but it has come back. I actually don't mind it too much...That's why his nickname is Lefty! .

    California Sourgrass Trail May 30th

    Well, looks like I'm the first casualty. Brutal night here...barely got any sleep, so I don't think I'm up for the trip today. Really bummed to have to miss it! @U8MYDZT , hopefully you'll see this before you head out, and won't be waiting for me in Stockton! Have fun guys, and keep me posted...

    California Sourgrass Trail May 30th

    Will plan to see you at McD's at 8. Just in case I'm running behind, feel free to push on without me, and I'll see you at the start.

    California Sourgrass Trail May 30th

    Looking forward to it! Well, maybe not the rain so much. It was a bummer having to put the doors and soft top on today, although it should help with the gas mileage on the way out there.

    California Sourgrass Trail May 30th

    I'll be heading up Saturday morning...was probably going to take the 24 to the 4, which would make Stockton a good meet up spot. As for camping, I'm still on the fence. Might depend on whether or not I'm flying solo...

    How to recalibrate your speedometer after changing tire sizes or gears

    According to Quadratec's website, all TJ's should be short shafts. https://www.quadratec.com/c/reference/jeep-speedometer-gear-tooth-chart

    NV3550 Transmission 2nd Gear Shifting Issues

    I had this same issue even after switching to the Royal Purple. Did the kerosene flush, then Redline MTL and new Master/Slave combo and the problem went away. 1+ yr later (daily driver) and it's still not an issue.

    Congratulations to FF_Jeep, the September 2019 Ride of the Month

    That's awesome! Are they custom made decals, or did you start with actual replacement Renegade stripes? I had a White Renegade in the 80's with the blue stripes, and tan interior. Between this and Nick's yellow throwback jeep thread, I'm having trouble staying focused on the mechanical side of...

    Weird whistling noise

    Mine does that occasionally, but just at/after startup. I've never heard it once I've started moving. Looking forward to your updates!

    Congratulations to FF_Jeep, the September 2019 Ride of the Month

    @FF_Jeep, I'm intrigued by the stripes and lettering I see on your TJ. Do you have a side-view shot, or other pose that shows them better? I couldn't find anything in your other posts. Congrats on the win, BTW...beautiful shot for sure! Thanks, -B

    Is a child seat in the front legal?

    This is what I did when my daughters were young...car seat in front with the airbag turned off. Never had a problem, but cannot verify official legality of the setup.

    Favorite Jeep Configuration?

    LONGJP2, Yes, I generally run the door surrounds when I have the full doors on and the top down, because my doors rattle badly otherwise.

    Daily Driver, Go Where I Want To Build

    I just checked my spare, a JKUR Moab. (Black powdercoated Call of Duty Edition, if that matters.) It's definitely 6" backspacing. Also, no Mopar Star as far as I can see.

    Bent one of the ears on my front axle shaft installing the u-joint

    Thanks, Blaine. I'll make sure to use a hammer next time. I just googled Jeep axle slinger, and figured out what you were talking about. That's on the good axle shaft. I'm talking about this: Here's the image from Amazon, for the part I purchased. : Will this be a problem, or do I need...

    Bent one of the ears on my front axle shaft installing the u-joint

    So my Ball joint, Unit Bearing and U-Joint replacement project has hit a snag. The Ball Joints are in, but I bent one of the ears on my Stubby Axle Shaft pushing the U-joint in. This is a Dana 30, driver's side. It was a pain in the ass to get the joint back out. I've got a second one to...

    Painting door panels with SEM paint

    I just followed the trail on SEM's website, and it looks like the Agate 17233 has been discontinued. I think others have mentioned that 15013 Landau Black is the best option at this point.

    O2 Sensor Identification & Clarification

    Has the NTK 23151 worked for you? I'm in the same boat you were in with the 2000 TJ B1S1 sensor. Was thinking about ordering the 23122 and lengthening the wires, but if the 23151 works, that would be easier.
