    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...

    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

    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...

    How do you drive on pavement?

    I'm just curious, as a matter of conversation, how everyone drives on the highway! I've got the 4.0 I6 with 35" tires and at 70 mph I'm at around 2500-2700 RPM, which is about as fast as I'll go. I've had it up to 80 with no weird vibrations or anything, but it doesn't feel very safe. When...

    Is this a bad paint job?

    I can't tell if my jeep has been repainted at some point, but there are strange spots where the paint simply isnt up to par. The cowl has the worst fading/damage and is rough to the touch. That's less surprising. However, there are spots on the sides which look like there isnt any clear coat...

    Project Born of Boredom

    Got my jeep about 6 months ago and have been working on it every time I'm home. I work 14/7 so I wanted something to work on while back in Florida and everyone else was at work. What can I say, I get antsy fast. When purchased: 4L I6 Dana 44 front Dana 44 rear 35" tires 4 inch suspension...

    Easy way to check inner axle seals?

    Installed new ball joints and when I removed my axles, there was quite a bit of differential fluid that leaked out of the axle tubes. Afterwards, I've had a slow leak from the tubes, but only after a drive. My jeep also has those dumb outer axle seals. My theory [hope] is that those outer...

    Rear pinion angle priority

    So my rear pinion angle is off, just eye balling it. It doesn't seem drastic and the only vibration I ever experience is when braking from high speeds (60ish mph) and i wouldn't consider it severe. Not sure if its related, I figured that is probably a brake issue. So to fix this, as well as my...
