    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    Lower shift boot glued on?

    I can’t for the life of me seem to get the lower shift boot or plate off my jeep (to repair/replace my sloppy shifter). Are they glued down from the factory? Or is there something I’m missing, pretty sure I removed all the bolts (tried shifter boot first, then plate neither will budge)

    Thermocure heater core flush

    As a last ditch effort I would like to try to use thermocure to flush my heater core, which seems to be the most recommended product for the job (correct me if I’m wrong please). I tried Bluedevil (because it was available at autozone) last night by disconnecting the heater core hoses, flushing...
