My parking brakes were not working very well. I adjusted them a little, but I still wasn't happy with the holding power. I decided a visual insoection was in order. I pulled off the driver's rear first, and except for the dirt in the parking brake drum, was happy with how the brakes looked...

Howdy to all. First post since last May. Life has been busy. My 2004 TJ with Johnny Joints on the control arms squeak and groan a lot. I'm thinking the 3 year old Johnny Joints are dried out. I want to take them off, disassemble the joints, and apply some new grease. The questions I have...

I have had 2 Jeeps in my life. My first was/is Rootie the Rubicon. Rootie is a 2004 Wrangler that I bought 4 years ago. She has taken me to some wild and unusual places, plus provided me with a place to invest my disposable income that pays the same interest as a bank. :) Rootie has become a...

A new member to the family. Out with the Chevy dually diesel, in with Imogene. Imogene is already working. Imogene has the Buttercup seal of approval. Did I confess yet that Imogene is my Wife's Jeep?

I took my 2004 TJ to Colorado last August. We stayed in Ouray and did the big passes nearby. Part of getting ready for the trip was a front brake job using the silver level pads and premium rotors from Advanced Auto. The Advanced Auto combination had me wishing for more brakes on the...

My jeep is a 2004 Rubicon. I've had it ~4 years. I did fluid changes all around when I bought the Jeep. Since then, for various reasons, I've changed the oil 2 more times. Each time, the front differential oil is dirtier than the rear. Yesterday, I pulled the differential cover to look...

I've been wheeling in the Colorado Mountains. I made some movies to share. Some of the movies will be set to music. Some of them will include the noises from in the cab. If you hear my wife swear at me, please don't laugh. Climbing the East side of Hayden Pass near Coaldale, Co Riding...

My wife and I took our first trip away from home since the virus crisis started, We camped at Tallulah Gorge State Park near Clayton, Ga. This is a great spot for Jeeping because of the numerous forest roads in the area. We did our wheeling on the weekdays because the weekends were slammed...

I have JKS Sway Bar links my 2004 Rubicon. I've had them for 2 years. Both times I have tried to service them, the bottom grease zerks won't take grease. I have to take the links off, remove the zerks, and clear the grease passage. Have any of you had similar experiences. anybody got...

Spending the week near Linville Gorge, NC. We be wherling!

My 2004 Rubicon with 15" x 10" American Racing wheels and BFG KO2 33x12.5r15 tires has always been sensitive to tires changes. Also, it seem like I have had a disproportionate number of out-of-round tires. In the latest round of trouble, I had to change to the spare while I was on a trip...

I'vs been in Colorado for 2 weeks. I have to admitt that I have not missed the sunny south. Several of the major mountain passes are closed, but there is still plenty to do. Pictures say it best.

I bought the "Cure" for my stock steering and never installed it. I replaced my stock tie rod and drag link with Currie items. It cost me $19 plus $9.50 shipping. Will ship to you in CONUS for $14. Contact through this website please. https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/merchant.mvc?

My 2004 Rubicon was already lifted when I bought it. It was lifted with a Skyjacker 4" Lift Kit. The parts were showing some wear when I bought it, and it didn't drive very well, so I have been changing out to higher quality components. A Currie Correctlink steering kit and a Currie Track Bar...

If you are like me, you use a a cheater bar or a couple of wrenches together to remove those really big bolts. The problem is when you need to put them back together. How tight are they? Here is one solution - a torque multiplier. You can use these with a torque wrench. A guy on ebay is...

Youse guys and gals are costing me money! I didn't even know about Savvy's transfer case shift cable until I found this forum. I usually do OK shifting my Rubicon in and out of 4 wheel drive, but my wife has struggled at times. It seemed to me like that was justification enough for buying...

This just makes me laugh. finally something beside Just Empty Every Pocket.

I have been doing winter maintenance on Rootie the Rubicon. She's got almost 63K driven miles and maybe 10 towing miles too. I considered doing the axle u-joints proactively, but haven't mad the move yet. Today, I was looking at the front and noticed that one u-joint is stained a reddish...

I caught the jeep fever when a friend started posting pictures of his Jeep trip along the Western Continental Divide. I searched high and low for the right jeep locally, but was not finding what I wanted. Then a friend told me about a friend who had a 2004 Rubicon for sale with only 44,000...
