    Core 4x4 issue

    Looks like core 4x4 has pulled their “double adjustable” option from their control arms at the same time as their Black Friday sale. Pretty brutal move on their part I’d say. I waited a while to see if there was a sale and then it appears they deliberately modify the product at the same time. I...

    Side steps

    Hi all, I’m looking for some side steps for my rig. My first world problem is I have a 1.25 body lift, which I’m happy with, but it has that ugly gap for my side steps. I’m looking for something more flush with the tub so I guess, angled up about an inch. Anyone have some good side step...

    Overheating issue

    My turn for some overheating issues. I’ve never had any before. Essentially as long as I’m going under 80kmph I never have an issue. When I hit the highway, it goes up to about 230/235. One time it randomly popped up into the red zone. I pulled over, checked everything, got back in and it was...

    Control Arm King?

    I’m in the market for new control arms and I’m decided in Johnny joint ends. Currie and core are kind of what I’m down to. Now I’ve watched some videos and core claims they use the Johnny joints from currie itself. And they are far cheaper. So core’s model (camp or tier 3) with both ends on...

    Would it be a good idea to replace my fuel rail while I'm doing the injectors?

    I’m going to replace all my injectors. Is it a good idea to do the rail at the same time? Just curious before I purchase Cheers

    Transfer case shifter is difficult after Savvy body lift install

    I’ll try to made this short. I had a Saavy 1.25 body lift installed and also have a transfer case drop which I plan on getting rid of. It’s made shifting into 4h and 4l rather difficult. The body lift did not come with brackets to change the shifter like some other kits do. Would all I need...

    Savvy coil spring question

    So I’m looking to get some new springs. After everything I read I am drinking the koolaid and looking at savvy. I have a couple questions though. I see rear springs that are 4.5 but the fronts are only 4. Are there some 4.5 fronts to match that I’m missing? I also read on a thread that the...

    Front fender knockoffs

    Hi all, So at my local car wrecker who buys jeeps, they are buying fenders for Tj’s from somewhere which is much cheaper. I have a feeling is alieexpress or somewhere in china. They aren’t crown or another known brand. They use these to rebuild jeeps and after handling them they are perfect...

    Spark plug gaps

    Thank you, yes that’s what I read but I figured if I’m doing one, I’ll do them both. It was quite cheap. If it looks tough then I won’t bother haha. I got NGK for both 👍

    Spark plug gaps

    Smell 🤣. But yeah honestly I don’t know, it sure was burning rich though and after replacing them it’s much less so now. I’m quite happy with the results. Will replace the O2 sensors as well just because I never have.

    Spark plug gaps

    I don’t know what you think is costing that much. Just a gap tool

    Spark plug gaps

    It’s not the newer rail. It’s a 1997. Would it be advantageous to gap more or should I just leave them at 0.035?

    Spark plug gaps

    Hello from Canada, Quick question. So I got some autolite XP985 iridium XP plugs. All are supposed to be gapped 0.035. I also got an ignition tune up (I’ll link a picture) that has some good reviews and includes a “screamin’ demon” ignition coil. Says I can run up to 0.065 gaps. I think 0.065...

    Air not Blowing

    Essentially my air blows hot, it blows cold, the AC works, but when I change the dial to use different fans, it all only comes out up by the windshield. It won’t change over to any of the other fans. Ideas?

    Looking for a list of parts that should generally be replaced over time

    Hey all, Looking for a list of parts that should generally be replaced over time. My TJ came from Japan and I have no idea what was done to it (expecting not much) in terms of maintenance. I bought it at 96k km (not miles) and its currently 137.5k km. It runs like a top and I'd like to keep it...

    Body lift pucks: Poly or aluminum?

    I have the Savvy aluminum lift kit and an aluminum block motor mount lift. I have an automatic 3 speed with np231. Do I need a shifter extension? Also, coming from experience with boats, two types of metal together don't mix. One is always more electronegative. Even with paint and a plating...

    What is the best steering for my Jeep Wrangler TJ?

    I upgraded a couple years ago to the ZJ stock steering. Basically its solid steel instead of a hollow straw the stock tj had (wtf). That being said I run 35's and might eventually go to 37s. The Zj stock isn't considered 1 ton steering is it? Would this be strong enough for 37's? I've never...

    Looking for a soft top that doesn't requite tailgate clips

    Hey all, Quick question and I'll delete this thread. I'm looking for a soft top that doesn't require the rear tailgate clips and just can go across the back. Don't care if this means the rear window isn't removable. I just can't seem to find any that doesn't require tailgate clips. My jeep came...
