    What is the current heater core recommendation?

    Help me identify this hose

    Long story short my Jeep overheated last summer and I finally got around to working on it. Old radiator blew apart at the top tank. So I did entire cooling system overhaul ( new Mopar radiator, waterpump, thermostat, upper/lower hoses, rad cap etc.). Jeep is now running about 205 degrees like...

    And another overheating issue

    Recently I have been having troubles with my TJ running hot. It starts rising when sitting at a stop light or drive through. I have tested that the fan clutch is good and that the radiator is unrestricted. I installed new 18 psi cap which has actually caused the problem to worsen from my old cap...

    If I could do it again

    I was scrolling through old photos off my photo album today at lunch and ran into this pic of the first day I brought my Jeep home (April 2015). The first thing I did was take the top off and go for a cruise. What a blast that day was. At the time I thought I had a to have a lift, wheels and...

    How do you go about backing down a failed hill climb (Auto trans)?

    In my neck of the woods there are lots of steep hills that you encounter on certain trails (usually rutted up with mud, rocks, roots, etc). Until I get lockers installed, some of these are pretty much impossible. I try to avoid the hills that I know I can't make it up, but on occasion I have...

    Is this a fair price for front and rear axle upgrade?

    https://louisville.craigslist.org/pts/d/buckner-jeep-tj-dana-44-and-dana-30/7052608125.html Been skimping by on my Dana 35/30 axles runnings 35's. Is this a good deal for me to get a Dana 44 under my Jeep? Also my current gear ratio is 3.07 so I'd think the 3.73 will be quite the improvement also...

    What's your leaf blower preference?

    My new house sits on 2 acres and is full of older mature trees that will be dropping leaves very soon. So I am in the market for a new leaf blower and would like to see what everyone's opinion are. I'm currently thinking either echo or stihl base models that are about $150.

    Restoring my great grandpa's air compressor

    Since my fiance and I have recently closed on our new house, I have not had much time for wheeling lately or working on my TJ build (amazing how time consuming that whole process can be....). This is okay because there are just a few things more important in life than jeeping lol. Anyways my...

    Factory sound bar rattling

    I think I have seen a thread on this before but have had no luck finding it. I have amplified JL 6.5 marine speakers in my sound bar (sound phenomenal) but recently have been noticing the bar has been beginning to vibrate/rattle mostly during low, longer duration frequencies (aka bass). I can...

    Does anyone own a newer Cherokee / Grand Cherokee?

    My girlfriend is looking at getting a new car and likes the looks of the newer Cherokees and Grand Cherokees. I happen to like them also (like the grill of the grand Cherokee the best). Either new or a slightly used would be an ideal candidate. My big question is what is the main difference...

    I am in the process of installing a Jasper reman transmission in my 2006 GMC Sierra. I just finished getting the factory 4l60e transmission out. Needing to flush my factory cooler. Pretty sure the process should be the same for any vehicle with Auto Trans. Those of you who have experience in...

    Stop-leak for leaky radiator?

    About a year ago I figured out my Jeep has been leaking coolant. Ended up the cap was a low pressure 12 psi cap and it was shot (not screwing down tight). So, I replaced this cap with an 18 psi cap. This stopped the main issue of the cap randomly vibrating loose and leaking but now I have...

    Controlling frame rust? Paint choices for frame, axles, brake drums, etc.

    Hey all, last night I put my Jeep on jack stands and pulled my tires so I could thoroughly wash the salt grime out from my undercarriage. After looking at a lot of recent rust posts I wanted to check out my frame very closely, the exterior of it has very little rust, just some surface rust but...

    Transmission shop ripping me off?

    So this is somewhat of a long story but any advice would really help. About two months ago I took my Jeep in for a transmission rebuild (3 speed auto). It was a mechanical failure slipping in first and second gears. After the rebuild, I drove it home and everything was working great. The...
