    Drum brake problems (chirping from rear brakes)

    I finally got my ass together. And the jeeps ass for that matter. Control arms set mostly, front driveshaft removed (the front doesn't match the rear gears yet), shocks/springs/ etc.etc. So. I've got it started, open my gate, buckle up, throw it in gear and start to roll. I clutch a little...

    Why you should "super" your Dana 35 axle

    Driving down the road, minding my own business. Came to a stop sign, have it a little bit if gas to get out in front of a car that was coming the other way. Letting off the clutch at 2700-3000rpm. POP! Well, what?! Wasn't moving, threw it in 4wd and went along to the gas station. After getting...

    Any takers on this electric 4x4?

    https://bollingermotors.com/ This looks like an extremely cool idea. Possibly the future of off-roading for all we know. It seems this news has been around for quite a while, but I ran into this video today. I was very intrigued by it. I'm tempted to see if I can try to get one once they...

    The best mods

    It always seems to be that most of the mall crawlers like to brag about their "armor" or "light upgrades" But it really seems to be reality that the BEST mods we can do to our tjs are all unseen by searching on the surface. Things like CA's, SYE's, regearing, that gastank hack up to19gallon...

    Should I re-gear, or upgrade suspension?

    My suspension is worn and needs a good replacement. My gearing is 3.07 with NV3500 & 33in tires. I can only do one. I'm leaning a bit more towards suspension. They both will end up costing about the same for what I've been looking at. I'm thinking that my shocks are stock, they might not be, but...

    What is recommended for transmission / differential fluids?

    I realize there are going to be some opinionated responses. I'm just having trouble actually picking a brand. Manual calls for Mopar 80w90 I think for diff oil on the Dana 35&Dana 30. Not sure about the trans oil (5spd manual) I'm running 0w-30 mobile 1 synthetic high mileage in the 4.0. I think it's...

    Has anyone tried OX lockers?

    I've don't a TON of research on lockers, and I plan on having onboard air, but I didn't really want air lockers, and the passive lockers I feel like I'd end up tearjng something up because I do a lot of road driving in my tj. The manual actuation of pulling a lever to engage the locker is very...
