Can AX-15s be adapted to a 2005 Rubicon. I'm probably going to have to replace my transfer case and would love to ditch the NG370 too. I've found some things on Novak, IIRC, that was set up for the earlier years, but the transfer case was clocked differently.

Things just get better and better. As I was trying to determine the source of vibration on my Rubicon, I pulled the rear driveshaft. When I drove it off the front axle, anytime I tried to accelerate, it would make a heavy ratcheting sound for a few seconds. My guess is the PO stripped out...

Okay. As I was trying to find out the source of vibration, I twisted the head off a U joint bolt in the rear yoke. It has a dual cadron driveshaft of an unknown manufacture. My question is, what size yoke and U-joint do I need to get? Is there anyway I can determine the size of the U-joint...

I have a 2005 Rubicon with a 4 inch lift (probably Rough Country). The transfer case is lowered one inch, probably from Rough country too. All from the PO. There is vibration at around 70 MPH. It's done this since I bought it and It seems to be getting worse. I will be checking pinion...

I bought my jeep several years ago with what seems to be a 4" Rough Country lift. The belly pan was lowered about 1.5-2", I'm guessing from the kit. I'm wanting to raise the belly pan back to normal height and use a motor mount lift to help with the driveshaft angle. My questions are: 1...

I'm tired of the cumbersome and ugly af outside rear view mirrors, and attaching the doorless mirrors is a pain. Has anyone ever modified CJ5 or & mirrors to fit? I know they will shake at speed. I know I will have to look through the windshield to see the right mirror. I'd just like to...

I replaced the precats with MagnaFlow precats (Part number ‎50899) along with NTK 23159 Oxygen Sensor, NTK 23018 Oxygen Sensor, NTK 23158 Oxygen Sensor and NTK 23160 Oxygen Sensor, all placed in their appropriate places back in October. My check engine light immediately when out and she runs...

Can I bypass the last catalytic converter on an 05 Rubicon? The primary cats died on my TJ. I ordered Magnaflow primary cats and manifold, but cannot afford the last or secondary cat. Can I bypass the last cat since the O2 sensors are on either side of the two cats near the engine? I'm...

Yes. It looks like the old school Sea Foam treatment took out the heated 02 sensor(s) in my 05 rubi. What is a "heated" 02 sensor? Is it located before or after the cat? Is there more than one? What sensor should I buy? I know PCM if finicky, so I don't want to waste my time. Are they...

My Rubi didn't pass inspection due to a "misfire". So, I changed the plugs, Champion Platinum, gaped at .35. The Check Engine light still won't go out and now she has considerably less power. I'm talking, having to floor it to go over hills and maintain 75 mph. The gas mileage dropped big...

Okay, maybe I'm missing it, but I cannot find what the gaps are supposed to be in the FSM for an 2005 4.0 liter. Please help me out!

My 05 Rubi had the infamous reverse problem when I bought it last year. I have an extended warranty, so I brought it to a dealership. They had to put two different re manufactured 6 speeds in it before they said it was good to go. It was not. It is actually worse now. I've thought about...

Now that it finally decided to get cold (ish) here in DFW, I've found that my 05 Rubi 6 speed will shudder and die when cold. It would also often die on me when accelerating. I replaced the IAC with one from O'Reilly's. It seems to be better, but sometimes it will still shudder and die when...

Well, it's about time to replace the starter in my 05 rubi. Any one know of a good starter made in the US? It's always challenging to find out where a part is made these days.

I need to buy an early console with one cup holder, with boot. It needs to be black or what ever the dark gray color is.

When I recently got my 05 rubi, it has what seems to be 4 four inch or greater RC lift. The cross member/mid skid is lowered about an inch, which I'm assuming was part of the original kit. The rear shaft has a CV joint. Of course since it's a Rubicon, it has a SYE. My question is, since it...

I need a shifter boot for my 6 speed 05 Rubi. Those suckers are hard to find. Please help. Thanks!

I bought an '05 Rubicon along with a warranty from Alpha. I've never bought an extended warranty but my wife had one on her Volkswagen and we used it all the time. Alpha gets high marks from the BBB, so I went ahead and bought it. Since I got the Jeep last month. I've discovered that 4WD does...

I'm considering buying a cruise control off @Dan T. It's a factory cruise and the control buttons are designed for a two spoke steering wheel. Unfortunately, my Jeep is a later model 05 with a four spoke wheel. Does anyone know if I can modify them to fit?

Okay, time for my first post, and it's going to be about what an idiot I am. I just bought a really nice 06 Rubi. I ran her through the gears including 4 lo and everything seemed to be working fine. Well, it turns out it doesn't engage the front drive shaft. How screwed am I? What can I do...
