    Bestop Replace-a-top, Trek Top or Rampage?

    I have the rampage. I can't speak for the smittybilt or the bestop since I haven't owned them. However, I've owned other Bestop products. After this rampage top, I'll never get another one. I plan on going with the Trektop NX next

    How severe is this radiator rust?

    @Chris that's kind of what I figured. The fluid that came out didnt seem to be too gross either. I may look into a overhaul soon, just to get ahead of it. But good to know that it isnt an emergency. I'm at just over 130k miles, so I know it's getting to be that time anyways.

    How severe is this radiator rust?

    Just curious everyone's input. How many miles has everyone gotten out of their cooling system? And when is a good time to overhaul as a preventative maintenance plan? Not too experienced with radiators so I'm not sure if this is a red light or normal. If it's not good, I'm considering doing...

    Project Born of Boredom

    Installed a new Sony head unit in the jeep today. Sony MEX-XB120BT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794QNSBP/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Also burned the hell out of myself. My radiator drain plug was dripping and I figured maybe it had worked itself loose. I went to tighten it and the damn thing broke...

    A/C quits blowing cold after driving for 2 miles

    Check the blend door under the glove box. Take the botor off (3 screws and there's a few write ups on here) and turn the door actuator by hand. See if that fixes it. Mine went out and I had a similar issue, it would blow cold initially but then warm up as soon as the engine did.

    Very specific vibration: Could it be a u-joint?

    Yeah I did a pretty intense visual inspection when I put everything back together. No interference and no wobble or anything that I could see with the naked eye at slow speed.

    Very specific vibration: Could it be a u-joint?

    Yeah I'm hoping that it. It's not a high priority right now, given how rarely it happens.

    Very specific vibration: Could it be a u-joint?

    Didnt really want to make a post about this but here I am. Have a vibration at highway speeds but only in VERY specific circumstances: When I'm at around 60-70mph and giving it gas, but so little that I'm almost slowing down, not maintaining speed. If I take my foot off the gas, accelerate...

    4.88 vs 5.38 with 35s and locker ID

    Ok I think that's probably where my confusion started was with the different transmissions. Thank you. For the TT, Jerry I know you used to run them and had mixed feelings (lockers were way down the line for me, so it's just a pleasant surprise), but do you recognize them from the picture...

    4.88 vs 5.38 with 35s and locker ID

    Appreciate the response and the link to Grimm Jeeper, looks like that will give me a bit of reading. But that at least answers my primary concerns, which is that it probably isn't going to be worth it to pay for a regear any time soon unless I run out of other mods.

    4.88 vs 5.38 with 35s and locker ID

    2000 Sport 4.0 I6 NV3550 35" tires So I found out my gear ratio this weekend, 4.88 Now I'm contemplating switching to 5.38 gears but was curious how significant of a difference would I see in regards to rpm/mpg/overall performance. I've read a lot that 5.38 is ideal, but at least 4.88 is...

    Well jeep in mind that the seat covers and carpet was installed about 15 minutes before that picture! I installed it specifically because the seats and roll on bedliner the PO had looks like crap
