From gathering data in the real world I’ve found that my Jeep needs anywhere from 210-230 ft-lbs of torque to maintain highway speed. How do engine swaps such at the 1.9L TDI produce enough torque to maintain speed? Am I missing another variable here? Gearing shouldn’t affect the amount of...

I currently run Rancho 5000x front and rear on 4” currie springs and 26psi tires. Recently I was able to shed a few hundred lbs from my rig, and the compression of the rear shocks is valved way too stiff. Does anyone know a lighter valved shock that has the length for 4” spring travel? Besides...

What is the minimum thickness of aluminum in 6061-T6 that would be needed to replace the 1/4” steel exogate tailgate plate? The replacement would cover the entire tailgate instead of the small section the exogate does.

I have 35x10.5 Kenda Klever tires coming my way. I am using 17” JK wheels with them, which normally use a 1.25” hub conversion to restore stock rubicon backspacing. These tires will be run on 4” Currie springs for lift height. I originally planned to run a 1.25” converter since a 10.5” wide tire...

Evening all, I’m having some trouble removing the bottom nut on the hardline of my front brakes where it goes into the softline. I’m swapping the OEM soft line to some YJ lines, and can’t seem to get the nut off (without feeling like it’s stripping). @mrblaine Any advice?

What is the recommended rebuild kit for an 06 box? And has anyone done it or have advice?

Morning all, I’m looking for input/advice on the condition on my steering box and to see if this is a normal amount of play. The video shows dry steering with no slop in the shaft from wheel to box, and no slop in the drag link/tie-rod. Thank you.

Evening all, I am currently running a Currie trackbar and Currie steering. My axle is centered using the gun-sight method and the steering is aligned to 1/8” toe-in, and wheel is straight. When going over bumps slowly I experience steering wheel movement that cycles from the 10-2 position on the...

Saw this picture today, the term “usable flex” came to mind :)

I found this while cruising the Facebook market place! Figured it might help somebody. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1208811975979398/

Information update for this that are interested. As many of you know, BFG runs their tire sizes small (one of the many reasons I’m switching). After 30,000 miles, my 31575R16 KM2s measure 32” with 26psi in them. Free mounted (spare tire) they measure 33”. 31575R16 is equivalent to 34.6” - and...

Does anyone know the part number or sourcing for a rear track bar bushing? I’ve spent days searching online with zero luck. Not looking for a poly replacement.

Quick question for those who see the behavior of front and rear lockers often. Why is a rear locker “more commonly” used over the front locker (many say “oh I never turn it on) given that the rear locker pushes you in sometimes unwanted ways and the front locker doesn’t actually affect steering...

For those of you who have savvy under armor - how close is the 42rle pan from the skid? Looking for clearance given I have a deeper than stock pan. Actual numbers would help but pics work too!

I’m looking to get a new CB after my old radio shack special finally died. I’m looking for thoughts/opinions on this cobra remote setup. I think it could be really nice in the small space of my TJ. Comes packed with features that seem interesting - check it out:

Merry Christmas Eve to all on this forum, thanks for making this place a good environment for discussion and thoughts. When I got on here a year ago I never thought I’d spend as much time as I do - but it never fails to open my eyes to new ideas and suggestions. I hope you all have a great night...

I am currently running 35x12.5 BFG KM2 D and would like to run a skinnier tire as well as switch to an all-terrain. I have a set of 5 17” machined finish JK Moabs I will be using once the KM2s wear out (3 more months). I’ve been looking at KO2s as they have a great reviews as fit well here in...

Has anyone modified their front seat to fully recline flat? Is it even possible/realistic to do?

Anyone been keeping up with Savvy’s LJK build? Looks like an awesome project that could have a lot of off road potential.

Okay so I’ve been having a small leak every time it rains here in Oregon...which is often! The leak puddles up on the passenger side floor. Now, no carpets means I can see the exact place water is coming in from. I ran my hand around the top, checked the A/C discharge, door seal...DRY. Now I...
