    #3 Misfire and Variable Cylinder Compression

    A check engine light showed up just as I needed to register this year. The code showed #3 misfire. I pulled the spark plugs. #3 had some carbon but nothing dramatic. If anything, it showed less wear than the other five. I was shocked at the wear on my Autolite XP985 Iridium plugs in less than...

    Many Thanks to Mike and the BFH Garage @HoseJockey61

    My niece bought a 2000 TJ that has been nothing but work so far. Many interesting threads would be possible based on the PO's poor choices. She's committed to her TJ and off-roading though. This holiday my brother and I tackled the rear ring and pinion on its Dana 44. I was surprised to find...

    Aftermarket trackbar mount compatible with PSC hydro-assist ram?

    PSC box and pump seem to be working well. I have the parts to install the power steering coolerand I'm ready to start planning the install of the hydro-assist ram. It's obviously a tight fit with some potential for clearance issues. Is there a forum collective wisdom on an aftermarket trackbar...

    Experience and thoughts on welded axle tie down points?

    I don't enjoy the process of wrapping my axles for securing the vehicle on a trailer. Mac's is selling weld-on tie down points. Before I head down this road, I'd like to hear about your experiences and the potential downsides to this approach. Thanks...

    PSC Gearbox Install

    I recently removed my OffRoad Only U-Turn crossover steering and installed the Currie CurrectLync. The dead spot in my steering seems smaller and the bump steer seems somewhat less but it is still there. I have the PSC hydro assist system and I'm beginning to plan that install. The gearbox I...
