    Fan hitting bottom of shroud (What changed?)

    So just to preface, my Jeep already had a 1" body lift. I pulled my TC and put a SS SYE kit on it and while I had it down I went ahead and replaced the transmission mount. Get it all back together and now my fan hits the bottom of the shroud... Not by much but enough to be loud and annoying...

    Narrowing down vibrations (updated)

    So I've been trying to figure out where my vibrations are coming from and this is driving me crazy. Long story short I've narrowed it down to something affected by the rear driveline. I pulled both DS independently and the vibes go away when rear shaft is out. The shafts have less than 200 miles...

    Retrofit late model tail light connector to 97

    Can the later model tail light plugs be spliced in place of the 97 plugs? I'm wanting to wire up for flat towing and the plug and play kit (Hopkins 56202) doesn't work on 97's from what I understand. Thanks

    Pics of rear brake lines and brackets on 03-06 Rubicon

    I'm installing a rear Dana 44 out of an 06 into my 97. The brake lines were messed up when I had some welding done so I'm going to be making my own brake lines. That being said, I need to see pics of the factory setup at the tee and the brackets where the hard line connects to the brake hoses please

    Alternative mounting options for steering stabilizer?

    Back story... So I installed a Rubicon Dana 44 front axle. The PO installed the Teraflex steering kit, which I removed along with the knuckle. I replaced the knuckle with OEM, and already had the ZJ steering upgrade, so planned on using it. Now to my present issue. The angle from the axle mount...

    Question about cycling suspension

    So I'm working on cycling my suspension after installing the Dana 44 I bought. I installed the track bar with the weight of the vehicle on the ground and centered it. I then removed the coil springs to cycle it. On the driver side I can't get the spring pad all the way up to the upper bump...

    Swapping in a Rubicon front axle

    Just to keep from having to rework something later, I need clarification. I went ahead and left my control arms at the length they were with my old axle. If I'm thinking correctly, the axle will naturally move towards the rear when at full droop. I understand I'll need a shorter front DS due to...
