    What did you do to your TJ today?

    When I did it, I was specifically targeting my heater core, so I pushed pressure into the heater outlet hose(upper hose) and it came out the unhooked inlet hose (lower) and into a catch bucket. Effectively it unplugged with some reverse flow under pressure.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Finally decided to back wash my heater core today. Drained all coolant off, unhooked the return line hose from the heater core and hooked up some low pressure water. Was getting very low flow into the catch bucket and gently increased pressure when suddenly I got two good thumps out and a slug...

    Bad motor mount issue on driver side

    I had my two oldest boys up on top of a mountain at the beginning of August heading off to do some backpacking when about 3/4 mile from the trail head the passenger side mount snapped off at the block. The engine fell over and pushed the exhaust pipe into the front driveline. The kicker was that...

When I do get a better axle under this Jeep, is it necessary to do control arms as well in order to avoid torque steer or was that likely a problem resulting from this poor set up...

    Lunchbox locker acting a little unruly Dana 35

Accelerating or decelerating felt like the jeep was rear steering just a little occasionally. I had been into the rear diff previously and I would say that the...

    Just bought a '99 and need some tire advice

    So, I Just bought a 4.0 TJ and it came with 33/12.50/15 tires. I'm fairly sure it has not been regeared based on performance and it has a Dana 35. I already know that these tires are way too big for this set up and want to get something more appropriate that will do for now (so as to not cause any...
