Here is mine.

I can't really tell from the pictures but it does look like you have a dropped track bar frame mount. If you do, you also need a dropped Pitman arm to keep the drag link and track bar parallel. Most people would say you are better off with neither but I can't say. The stock TJ is identical to...

It looks like you have some sort of dropped frame side track bar mount. Do you also have a dropped Pitman arm?

On mine it had both.

There are clips on the inside. Just melting the plastic is not enough. You have to remove the clips.

If you are getting a clunk from the double Cardan in the front drive shaft you should take care of that right away. You risk having the drive shaft grenade the transfer case.

I have been somewhat surprised at how perfect everything has to be to prevent DW. Rod ends, bearings, bushings, ball joints, tire balance and tire condition. When I first had DW, re-balancing had no effect. A dry steering test told me nothing, everything appeared to be tight. In frustration, I...

I started to have what seemed like the beginnings of DW. Irregular road surface would kick off vibrations that sometimes grew larger but would stop when slowing down slightly. I had the tires (KO2s with about 30k miles time in service) rebalanced and that helped a bit, but the problem grew. For...

My Smittybilt bumpers are 9 years old and the powdercoat is still flawless. Admittedly, they have never been exposed to salt.

My truck camper (F350, diesel, long bed, Adventurer FB26) gets about 10.5 mpg. If I flat tow the TJ behind that it drops to about 10.0 mpg. I don’t think tire pressure will make any difference in my case.

A few months ago I started to get what seemed like vibration from unbalanced tires. I had about 30k on a set of KO2s so I took it in and had them rebalanced. That seemed to make no difference. What was strange was the fact that some times the vibration was there and sometimes it was not. Over...

I have a 2006 TJ Rubicon with the original lockers. Yesterday I tried to engage them and neither would. The dash indicators flashed continuously but neither engaged even after jockeying back and forth somewhat. I have done zero troubleshooting so far. I just wondered if there is a common point...

Rubicon has been running perfectly for a long time. I went to the store today and when I tried to start the engine all the panel lights came on but nothing from the starter. No clicking or sound of any kind, and the lights did not dim. I believe the battery is good but I will verify that. I...

Curie (now Rockjock) CE-9300 one inch body lift kit, new, never installed. It looks like the street price for these is $275 (an absolutely ridiculous price IMHO). I will sell for $100 plus shipping. I’ve actually got two of these kits and will let both of them go for $150 plus shipping. Yeah, I...

This is a black soft top for a TJ with the full doors. The frame and all of the hardware is included. I believe this top has never been mounted. It looks to be in perfect condition. $300 plus shipping.

For sale: New, unused Brown Dog Ultra-Flex motor mounts, 1 inch lift. $30 plus shipping

I have an Boom Mat for a TJ, new, still in the box. Free to the first person to come and pick it up. No, I will not ship it.

This is a very easy job that you can do yourself. Having said that, I too would like to know of a good shop or mechanic in the Concord, CA area to do significantly heavier maintenance. Any recommedations?
