    Weird low Idle when warm

    I have a strange issue with a low idle when warm that I cannot quite figure out where to start. I don't want to just throw parts at it and would like to avoid bringing it to a shop if possible. Here's the issue. Once the TJ is up to temperature (190+) it idles very low only when I am at a...

    HVAC Only Blowing Heat

    So I just finished replacing my heater core and in the process had to change out the entire HVAC black box due to cracks, see my other post a few weeks ago regarding that. With that said, I finally found the part and was able to install it. I finally got to test drive it around today and found...

    Rancho 5000x Shock length

    I have the horrible Rancho RS5000 I currently have the RS5256 rear and the RS5255. I am currently running the Currie rear TJ/LJ springs so I have the stiffer ones in the rear. With that said, these are the measurements that I currently have for my Jeep. I am wondering if I should stick with...

    Heater Core Leak

    I know this has been talked about way too many times. I just have a couple quick questions. I am going to tackle it myself, not a difficult job, just time consuming. I won't have time for a couple months to get to it since I don't want the Jeep down for a couple weeks while I work on it in...

    Drag link broke mid turn

    As I was driving my kiddos home, I made a left turn and mid corner I heard a snap and lost all steering. Thankfully I was turning left and I was able to coast to the side of the road. Thankfully it didn't break mid-right turn and cause me to go uncontrollably into oncoming traffic or when I...

    Front seat not tumbling

    My front passenger seat stopped tumbling this morning. I went to get some things from the back seat. I used the latch on the back bottom of the seat to fold and tumble the seat. I heard a pop sound and then the seat would not tumble. I can still fold it forward with both the latch in the...

    Climate control stuck on heat

    I have a 2001 with the rotary dial climate controls. Yesterday I was off roading and noticed my climate control is stuck on heat. If I turned the ac on or the vents to cool air it just stayed on heat. I was in the maintains so it was not a big deal. One time in the late afternoon it worked...

    Is this a good engine skid?

    I found this engine skid being sold near me. He didn’t know the brand and I can’t find one exactly like this online. He says it it connects to the trans skid and the front lower control arm bolts. Is this a decent style skid?

    Removing TC Drop

    Now that I have removed the side steps and installed my Currie Rocksliders, I want to get rid of my next lowest hanging part. That is my TC skid plate. I currently have a drop on the skid plate from the previous owner. From what I understand from reading on the forum, I probably do not need...

    Currie Rocker Mounting Questions

    I picked up a set of Currie Rockers from a fellow forum member. Other than some scratches (which a little sanding and spray paint will fix) they are in great condition. They did not come with hardware or installation instructions. For the most part Rockers are installed the same way. I have...

    Rear track bar rubbing on gas tank bolt

    I went under my jeep and saw that my rear track bar is rubbing pretty good on the center bolt of my gas tank skid. The bolt has quite a bit of wear on it and I felt the back side of the track bar and it has a pretty good groove worn into it. I don't remember it having for the previous year and...

    Rock Slider Style

    I am looking at getting Rock Sliders soon. I'm pushing my TJ more and more and I am getting too close for comfort going over rocks without them. I have been looking up multiple brands and I see two styles for under-tub protection. The most common style (and usually much cheaper) has about 6...

    So I noticed under my jeep that I had a drip coming from the rear differential . I was under my TJ about a week ago and everything was bone dry. I touched my finger to the drip and saw it was red, which made me instantly think the transfer case. I recently replaced the transfer case fluid a...

    Rear Shock Mount Sheared Off

    While going up a easy trail (Rouse Ridge in Southern California) my buddy behind me gets me to stop because my rear shock is dangling and not attached to the axle. I get out and check it out. The bracket ripped and sheared in half. It didn't break at the weld but in the middle of the bracket...

    Questions about leaking Dana 35 axle seal

    So I am working on fixing the last leak (for the time being on my TJ) while I await my new Tom Woods driveshaft to arrive. My driver's side axle seal is starting to leak a bit on my Dana 35. It looks like a very simple job from what I have seen online. Simply remove the diff cover, remove...

    Can't remove rear driveshaft

    Seems like it should be a simple fix. I am trying to replace my rear seal on my SYE. I removed the caps for the front of the drive shaft that holds it to the yoke on the SYE. They drive shaft would not budge. So I tried taking the caps off the rear of the driveshaft. Still it won't budge...

    I am continuing to have issues with my rear drum brakes. The issue is the passenger drum brake keeps self adjusting too tight. I did a full rear brake overhaul about a month ago. I replaced the shoes, drums, hardware, and wheel cylinders. When I did this, I noticed the passenger rear front...
