    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...

    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...

    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

    Hello from Canada, Quick question. So I got some autolite XP985 iridium XP plugs. All are supposed to be gapped 0.035.

    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?

    Pinion Angle Adjustment Questions

    So I have my SYE in and DC rear shaft. I had my diff regeared to 4.56 and I'm fairly satisfied with the results. I still have some vibrations (0-15 kmph) and they lessen with speed but I'm pretty sure they are still there. And I've come to the conclusion it's my pinion angle. I think it's...
