    97 TJ Starting Issue

    My 95 S10 had similar problems this fall, which ended up being due to a failing fuel pump. I have never had a fuel line issue on my jeep, but I wonder if it could be a fuel thing. I think the truck's motor required a certain psi at the injectors in order to ignite, but could stay running with a...

    Wacky speedometer and buzzing alternator: solved

    Hi guys, I have 2 sudden issues on my jeep and I am not sure if they are correlated or not. Thought there might be some potentially valuable advice here. Yesterday I was driving and shortly after exiting the highway, I noticed I could here a little "buzz" sound from my engine bay, and I noticed...

    Anyone currently running General Grabber ATX tires?

    I've had them for the past 9 months or so and they are amazing. They replaced BF Goodrich All Terrains, and I don't seem to notice a difference.

    That's a great description, thank you.

    Will Dana 35 from a 1995 YJ fit my 1997 TJ (resolved)

    Well it seems the pinion bearings are bad and possibly even the ring and pinion gear. When driving I can hear a spongy sound that's inconsistent.

    Oooh ok. I think I mistook the spring over part for coil springs. My bad!

    Will Dana 35 from a 1995 YJ fit my 1997 TJ (resolved)

    I'm having some internal problems with my rear end, and it seems that simply replacing it with another Dana 35 with 3.07 gears will be significantly cheaper than getting the internals fixed. I came across a Dana 35 off a 1995 TJ with 160,000 miles for 50 bucks. The craigslist post states that it...

    What tire do you run and why?

    I've got a new set of 31 inch General Grabbers on mine. Reasoning: needed some all terrain tires that are a bit more affordable. Reviews seemed comparable to KO2s. They ride quiet and smooth, similar to my old KOs. Have only had them about 2 weeks so far.

    Wild Boar grab bars

    I have a set of these and they're awesome. Getting the original screws out took some work. Had to drill them out.

    Rear driveshaft loose at pinion

    Hey guys, I recently installed some OME springs, RS5000x, and lowered my transfer case. It looks like a little bit of oil is coming out of the pinion seal, and when the transmission is in neutral, i can wiggle the driveshaft. It has some rotation, as well as some up/down and side to side...

    I've been unfaithful to my Jeep

    I like those Miatas. If I had a backup vehicle, I would not mind one of those! Nice find!

    Does having the top off improve ride quality?

    The wind doesn't push you around as much on the highway with the top down. And your spatial awareness is improved significantly!

    Suspension upgrade questions

    From what I've read, a rear track bar relocation bracket is needed. I haven't done that on mine yet, or checked for interference and binding. But as far as axles being offset, both axles are pushed to the side maybe 1/4-1/2 of an inch. Not very noticeable but it's there if you look for it. If...

    Suspension upgrade questions

    I don't think I can answer everything for you, but I recently put some of the OME springs and Rancho rs5000x shocks on my TJ and I have been loving it so far. I have not done any off road yet so I can't say how that performance is, but my on road performance is better. These are the Rancho...
