    PSA: Check your Rock Hard 4x4 welds!

    tl;dr: Don't assume the welds on your safety cage are good - Rock Hard 4x4 says you're supposed to inspect them. I recently ordered a full bolt-in Rock Hard cage for my TJ with all the fixins'. I've always heard great things about this product and company but I felt pretty good about plonking...

    Popping, creaking, clicking when steering

    I have a problem that developed recently on my 2005. I started noticing a creaking, popping, clicking noise while driving at slow speeds. After some experimentation, it seems steering-related. With the jeep sitting in the driveway running and my wife turning the wheel back and forth, the noise...

    GenRight Aluminum Fenders Install notes

    Hi all, I just installed GenRight Fenders on my TJ and found the instructions to be extremely lacking. I did a little research (reading the instructions ahead of time) but ended up surprised with how much was left as "an exercise for the reader". I wrote up all my notes from the install, which...

    Rubicon pops out of 4LO with Savvy cable shifter

    When I tucked my drivetrain, I replaced my rube-goldberg TC shift linkage with the Savvy cable shifter. I put it all in place and didn't really adjust it because it all seemed fine - I could hit 2hi, 4hi, N, and 4lo no problem. About six months ago, I had it pop out of 4lo on the trail. I...

    Tailgate Dome Light Activation Switch

    No, actually the door defeat fuse (#4) is on the ground side and is just used as a switch/jumper. The purple wire that you tap into from the instructions in this post is on the upstream side of the existing door switch and is what the computer is looking for to be grounded in order to turn on...

    Lesson learned installing SwayLOC

    Hey guys, thanks so much for the advice. Only had to tap the prydriver into the crack a teeny bit and the sumbitch damn near slid on by hand. I did the same for the other three seatings and everything went easy. Wish I had been brave enough to do that yesterday and I'd be farther along and less...

    Lesson learned installing SwayLOC

    Dude, thanks so much for that. I was pretty frustrated when I quit for the night, so I'm glad to have some feedback and things to try tomorrow!

    Lesson learned installing SwayLOC

    Okay, I'll give that a shot tomorrow. I take it from your immediate and definitive answer that this is par for the course with these? I watched a youtube video (famous last words) where the guy said "it should just slip right in, don't force it," which had me concerned. The slot is pretty small...

    Lesson learned installing SwayLOC

    I'm trying to get mine installed right now and having a heckuva time getting the driver side (the fixed one) arm onto the inner bar. I carefully hammered a lot and got it sunk about halfway into the arm, but it wouldn't go any further. I tried using the allthread to pull it through and just bent...

    That damn upper control arm bolt!

    I registered purely so I could comment on this. I just got myself a project TJ with 110k miles on it, and obviously all original suspension, torque on the bolts, and untold amount of crap in all the threads. I fought with that bolt (also driver's side) for a long time before googling and...
