    Clicking sound from front wheel

    A few months ago I had quite a bit of work done to the Jeep which included new gears, new Revolution axles, and a VANCO BBK. In truth, I have have not driven the Jeep much more than in and out of the garage so I can work out. I recently noticed (I say "notice" because I have no idea how long it...

    Machining irregularity on gears?

    I saved the 4.10 gears from my recent regear, since they were only used for about 10,000 miles. I thought that maybe someone looking to regear could use a good deal. However, I finally took a look at them and I noticed this line on the Dana 44 ring gear. It’s not a contact point, so I’m thinking a...

    Motor Mount Spacer vs Motor Mount Lift

    I'm in the last phase of ordering parts in preparation of going from 33s to 35s and I'm stuck on a decision. I have the Savvy Body Lift in my cart, but I'm not sure which direction to go on the motor mount. The 1" motor mount spacer (Savvy in this case) or a 1" Motor Mount Lift (Brown Dog 1"...

    Steering wheel noise

    I looked at the connection between the steering wheel and upper steering shaft, and there is no play in those ujoints. If I turn the wheel just a hair, it turns the shaft going through the firewall. I looked at the connection between the upper and lower steering shafts, and there is no play...

    My TJ has the passenger side lean

    After a recent wheeling trip, I noticed the passenger side lean. I measured to the same spot on both sides of the bumper and the rear passenger side is sitting about 1” lower than the rear driver side. I figure that I’ve got a few options: 1. Leave it 2. Add a 3/4” spacer - my question is...

    Tachometer needle on wrong side of pin

    So my battery died this weekend, and I swapped it out. I looked down at the tach needle this morning and saw that the needle is now on the wrong side of the pin. I’m not sure how that happened, Google results say that it has happened to people before. Is there a way to get it to the proper...

    Aftermarket receiver support bracket?

    A few months ago I replaced the receiver in my TJ. The mounting bracket looks similar to the pic below, and as you can see it's not supported by the bracket in the rear of the dash like the OEM receiver. Does anyone make something that will support the back of an aftermarket receiver? Mine is...

    Removable side mirrors

    I am looking for feedback on removable side mirrors that attach to the top door hinge when the doors are removed. There seem to be a lot of options out there. What have you used and what do you like or dislike about what you bought?

    Stripping Powdercoat

    I didn’t want to drag my off topic question into Josh’s build thread. I have a non-Jeep related project and I need some advice. We have two dog beds that have powder coated frame corners. The coating was flaking off so I took them apart and started stripping the pieces with a wire wheel on...

    Steering wheel cover

    Someone, somewhere, in here posted pictures of a cover that they sewed onto their steering wheel. I've searched. I think I've tried every term that I can think of to find it. I can't find it. Someone help me? Please?

    2001 Sahara

    Even though I've had this Jeep for six years, I decided to start a build thread to document what I've done. My parents bought a new TJ back in 1999, and every time that I would go back up north to visit my parents I would have an opportunity to drive it. It was always a great time, and in 2002...

    Swapping Tires: Load Range E to C

    Six years ago I bought my TJ and told the local tire shop that I wanted 33s. They went ahead and put them on and I ended up with Cooper Discoverer STTs on 16” wheels. Because of the size, they happened to be load range E. From years of Jeep forum participation I became aware that...

    How do you store extra hardware?

    I've collected a rather large collection of random bolts, nuts, and washers. I have no idea what size most of them are, and they are all sitting in a large box. I've found myself running over to Ace to buy new stuff instead of taking the time to try and sort through what I have. What do you...

    Photoshop wheels prior to purchase?

    I can't imagine that I'm the only person wondering what a particular set of wheels will look like on my Jeep, so I thought that I would make a thread and maybe a kind person can help me (and potentially others if this becomes an "official" thread). In order to swap out my Load E tires to Load C...

    Annual Maine Trip

    Every year I fly up to Maine for a wheeling trip with my father. His club has an annual event, so there are typically 30+ Jeeps. It’s a chance to spend time with him and to also experience completely different terrain than I have in Florida. There is always something to learn. Our Jeeps are...
