    Need to find the thing the dome light plugs into

    Hey all, was doing the Led interior upgrade and when I took off the lens for the dome light, the piece that screws into the sound bar and connect to the lens broke so I can no longer attach the lens to it. Anyone know where I can find a replacement? Here’s a picture. It’s the off white plastic...

    How often should I grease centering ball in front driveshaft?

    So unfortunately, last time I had my front driveshaft rebuilt they put a greasable centering ball in. Shoulda complained about it, but it's been too long now since the rebuild so anyhow.. What's the consensus on how often to grease it? Saw one post saying that 3k miles is the norm, but it would...

    What should I upgrade next?

    Given these choices, which one would you do next? 1. Ucf ultra high clearance skid. My stock one is already dented and I'm tired of catching it on things. 2. Rock sliders. Just took off my bent and broken factory side steps so I'll probably end up needing these. 3. Anti-Rock. The words of...

    Space between winch cross bars and spool?

    Just a quick question for you winch experts, I recently replaced my steel cable with 100' of 3/8 synthetic line. I managed to fit it all on there, but there is only around 1/2" to 3/4" of space between the full spool and the winch cross bars. How much room do you generally run? I could see how I...

    Outboarding and Rancho Shocks?

    Now this is purely a theoretical question and I am still a far, far ways away from any potential outboarding, but could you outboard using Rancho shocks? It seems as if the Ranchos are universally recommended as far as what shocks to upgrade too, with the exception of outboarding, in which Fox...

    Milestar Patagonia 15k Mile Review

    Just wanted to share my experience with my 33x12.5r15 Milestar Patagonias, as I recently had them re-balanced and rotated. I bought them right around 1 year ago, and have now put about 14,500 miles on them. Overall I am still decently happy with them, but I do have a couple caveats. I am by no...

    Convince me NOT to go with a Warn VR8 over a M8000

    So I know this topic has been touched on before, but I don't really see any comparisons which list the latest model VR8 with the M8000 as far as specifications: Both use Albright Waterproof Contactors Both use 216:1 3-Stage Planetary gearboxes The VR8 has 94ft of cable, while m8 has 100ft Both...

    Lower Johnny Joint control arms with stock uppers?

    Just a quick question, if I upgrade my front lower control arms to a double Johnny Joint set up while leaving my front stock uppers in, will this place undue stress on the upper control arms and control arm brackets? Thank you! Also, does anyone know if the Johnny Joints generally used are...

    Hand Throttle Attachment

    Hey everyone, I'm looking to piece together a hand throttle, and think I have it all worked out except for the attachment point at the throttle body. I have a manual so no cruise control, so I'll be routing it around where the cruise control cable normally sits and where it attaches at the...

    Very difficult to get into gear when cold

    My gf has a 94 Yj- now I know that this is a TJ forum, but the engine, transmission, and transfer case that are in it came out of my sister's jeep 98 TJ. The ax15 has about 170,000 miles on it. So a little while after the swap last year, the transmission started having issues going into 1st and...

    Control Arm Idea

    So recently, I saw an ad in my Instagram for Wide Open Designs, a company offering 7075 threaded Aluminum links in custom lengths. Now, I'm not exactly sure what length of link would be needed, but knowing that a lower control arm should be 16" minimum length, I'm assuming the link would be 13...

    Currie vs OME Springs and a bumpstop question

    Hello all, So obviously, the two springs that are recommended most on this forum are the 2.5" OME springs and the 4" Currie Springs, but I can't seem to find much information on the 4" OME springs. In fact, even looking for a place to buy the springs is difficult - tho only place I see them...

    Is this re-gearing cost too high?

    Hello all, Got a quote from Predator offroad to regear my rear axle (not changing ratio, had chipped pinion teeth) and the quote they give me was $1080 for parts and labor, with a military discount.. Again, this is for just one axle. Now, after reading a bit into this online the cost does seem...

    What Alternator Fusible Link for new battery cables?

    Hello all, Working on replacing my battery cables and lugs - they're both fairly shot. Anyways, the only thing I have a question on is on the fusible link between the battery and the alternator. I'm looking to replace the fusible link with an in-line fuse, and am wondering what AMP fuse I...

    Difference Between Cheap and Name Brand Winch Rope?

    So, I know that with anything recovery related, it's usually best to source things from a well known, well respected supplier, but what exactly is the difference between something like this cheap rope and this Warn rope, besides a $300 price difference? Quality control? American made +...

    Anything I'm missing for SYE / clutch / other work?

    Hello All, Getting back home soon, and wanting to do a SYE to help with some driveline vibrations I've been having. Anyhow, did some research, and with the fact that I figured I might as well do some other items while I have the T-Case off, the plan snowballed into the list below: SYE •...

    Will I need rear driveshaft lengthened after tummy tuck?

    Hello all, Looking to get rear CAs and SYE/CV combo here pretty soon. Currently on 2.5" of lift in the rear. My question is, if I plan to at some point add front CAs and a UCF ultra high clearance skid (which raises t-case 3", so effectively will be like having 5.5" of lift including the 2.5“...

    Do these alignment specs look correct?

    Hello all, Several months ago, I had some wobbling issues, so I installed Currie Correctlync steering as well as a new steering stabilizer. I did an alignment using tape measures, and set the toe in to about 1/8th inch in at the 33" diameter mark, as suggested. I had a really slight shimmy...

    Opinions on Dirtworx vs. MORyde?

    Hello all, Trying to decide whether i want to run a Dirtworx standard rear bumper + a Moryde tire carrier, or go with a Dirtworx bumper/tire carrier combo. Running the bumper mount will be cheaper ($390 instead of $320 + $190 for the moryde/dirtworx combo), and will likely be easier to install...
