    Heim joint questions!

    Hi everyone! So a couple questions regarding Heim joints in a steering setup. I got this Jeep in January 2021 with the steering setup as you see it in the pics I attached below. The previous owner only put about 900 road miles on it before selling to me, and as I’m a young(23) guy with dreams...

    Rhythmic squeaking coming from rear end

    Hi y’all! So I’m trying to nail down what exactly is causing a rhythmic squeaking when driving. I’ve got a 2000 4.0 sport, but with a 2003 rubi rear axle(thus full rotors). Ever since it started about a month ago, whenever I drive the Jeep I hear it, matching the exact speed of the vehicle...

    Question about Lockers!

    Hi everyone, So the PO of my current TJ had an Aussie locker installed in the front, along with Warn locking hubs, all on a Wagoner Dana 44. The rear(a rubicon Dana 44) has a rubicon air locker. My question is, why/ what is the purpose of having an Aussie locker as well as locking hubs up front? I...

    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Gotcha okay. Yeah that’s definitely doable no problem. Would y’all prefer stainless for the corner guards regardless of base material of the bumper? As it seems this would be just a bolt on part with inset screws

    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Price isn’t a concern for me at the moment. I’m still gathering ideas and drawing things out. I have no issues making bumpers out of aluminum, stainless steel, or mild steel, as I have the materials and capabilities to do any of those. Price is only a concern when it comes to getting customers...

    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Very insightful thanks for the input. Are you saying you would want it built out of stainless steel? obviously very doable, but it would change the cost a good bit for various reasons. whatever material i'd be using, id certainly go with 1/4in for almost everything

    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Yea it'd be my plan for whatever I create to undercut brands out in the market on price as much as possible while still turning a profit worthwhile. basically it'd all come down to material costs really, which going through my employer, I'd be able to get at a reduced cost due to them buying in...

    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Yeah I like the look of a grill guard, perhaps a tad shorter than this one though

    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Nice can’t go wrong with savvy. Yeah so that’s a pretty stubby bumper, which I do prefer myself, though I do like a small grill guard

    What would your dream bumper set look like?

    Hi y’all, so a bit of a theoretical question here. If you could design or find a dream bumper for your wrangler, what would you want that to be? Short and stubby with only winch points? Integrated winch mounts and creative but sleek lines? What kind of material, mild steel, aluminum? I’m...

    Temp gauge issue

    Hello everyone, so I’ve got a bit of a weird issue with my Temp gauge on my dash. I’ve got a 2000 TJ 4.0 5 speed manual, everything about the engine and drivetrain and such are stock(I did have the motor replaced with a new(used)one when I bought it this past January) Ever since I’ve owned...

    What's your preferred way to get wires through the firewall?

    That’s what I did when running the throttle hand control kit wire. Just punched a hole through the grommet and ran the wire. Used some clips to keep it in line with other things and not just flopping about. Worked well and was barely noticeable

    Noise when shutting engine off, and at idle

    I believe I figured it out actually. I just got home from a short drive, and before I shut it off, I could hear the noise I’m referring to, hard to describe. Got underneath with my flashlight and could easily tell it was coming from my muffler…upon closer inspection I think I found the culprit...

    Noise when shutting engine off, and at idle

    Sorry, wrote it while making food lol. Did the post explain it well enough? I can’t seem to get a video to upload directly so I’m going to try a link to it

    Noise when shutting engine off, and at idle

    Hello everyone So I’ve heard this noise before, throughout the past couple months, very intermittently, so I’ve never thought much about it. Today and yesterday I’ve heard it a bit more frequently, after having been driving for a couple minutes, and when I shut the vehicle off after driving...
