    Disconnect transfer case shifter to drop trans

    I’m in the middle of a clutch/throw out bearing replacement, and I may be an idiot (at least sometimes) or I may just be exhausted from fighting bell housing bolts (up top ones suck)… but I’m just not seeing an easy way to disconnect the transfer case shifter linkage. Someone mind enlightening...

    7 pin connector and trailer brake question

    I trying to see if anyone has came up with a clever way to attach a 7pin trailer connection to the back of their jeep that doesn’t become low hanging fruit for departure angle. (I might be acquiring a teardrop camper soon) Also, does anyone have experience with the tekonsha prodigy RF (the...

    Would it be safe to drive with the hardtop rear window open?

    Random question… I know the prior owner used to do it for more airflow at times but…. Is it ok, dangerous or whatever to drive your jeep with the hardtop rear window open? Does anyone do it on here? I haven’t ever personally done it, but the prior owner drove it to meet me like this.

    Axle shaft question

    Had a u-joint decide to preform an unexpected rapid disassembly and proceed to bend the ears on the axle shaft and short end (yoke?) of my jeep. Driver/left side. So, I need to replace those. Details are that I run 33” 12.5wide tires and I’m counting 30splines, so apparently the prior owner...

    Parking brake only works sometimes

    So… installed brand new cables, and parking brake shoes and adjusted them the proper way/as suggested on the forum. Cool right? Not really. For whatever reason sometimes the parking brake works REALLY well and other times hardly at all. What in the heck could be causing that? Really want to...

    Carparts.com lifetime warranty on Odyssey battery?

    I’ll try to keep this short. So I’ve long known about fcpeuro.com offering lifetime warranty on ALL items except for consumables (not aerosols but oils that can be replaced/captured are covered) apparently carparts.com is following the same model, and offers the much harolded group34 Odyssey...

    What seals do I need for a Dana 44 with 35 spline axle shafts?

    Long story short, when I re-geared my jeep and noticed I had aftermarket axles in my rear dana44 I didn’t count the splines like a dummy… Turns out the prior owner upgraded to 35spline axles (according to the person I was paying to replace the seals as I simply couldn’t be bothered lol)… so the...

    Need rear parking brake cable

    I need replacement cables for the parking brake, the park that connects near the center adjuster back to the actual drum. I have a dana44 rear with disk brakes/drum parking brake (if that matters). Don’t care if it’s a used part, just need to replace mine because the prior owner cut the current...

    Where and how much to refill CO2 tank

    About to build a DIY co2 tank for tire refills but am having a hard time finding a place to get the bottle refilled. Is their any normal retail chain that refills co2 anymore? Used to be easy to find places when paintball was big. Also, what do you pay?

    Windshield wiper question

    May be a dumb question, but I only know one other person with a TJ and his does the same, so I don’t know if this is normal or if my switch (or something else) is acting up. So, my windshield wiper has no intermittent setting, it’s either full on, fast, or faster. Also the wipers do not return...

    WTB: Factory pitman arm

    Simply put, I need a stock Pittman arm… PO installed a drop Pittman arm and drop bracket for the track bar which were causing the known issues (bumpsteer in a sense) where the steering would change when on or off throttle. Removed the track bar drop bracket and things improved greatly, and...

    Engine stalled and sputtered

    Just got from a grocery/lunch run in the jeep, was running great on the way to the store but when I left it stalled when I took off from a stoplight and took a couple cranks to get started again. I’m not sure if a low/bad battery could do this but I had just turned on the heat full blast (to...

    Are these axles worth salvaging and using or too far gone?

    Lol, first thing I thought was to submerge it and do electrolysis after hitting it with needle scaler…. Wish I had a sand blaster…

    O2 Sensor Simulators

    Are you sure it’s the upstream O2s you are having trouble with? They don’t care if the CAT is there, the upstream is used by the PCM to calibrate in closed loop. The rear/downstream O2s are the ones that detect if a CAT is present/functioning. @Jerry Bransford The only thing I believe may be...

    Sweet smell after new head gasket and heater core

    Bad news: sounds like heater core may be leaking, or at very least it’s residual coolant in the vents and you have a not great brand of heater core (due to sub par heating you noted). What brand did you swap in? Good news: it smells sweet…
