    Sidewall cuts

    Still holds air but I found these airing back up. We were out for the eclipse and barely even wheeled but there's one place in particular where I remember hugging the side with that tire and the rocks there were sharp. Photos don't really do them justice...they remind me of when I get a...

    Oklahoma This isn't one of you guys, is it?

    Looks like a pretty clean Sahara rolled over in the eastbound lanes on 15th just east of Bryant in Edmond. 🙁

    Setting up Rockjock bump stops

    Installed some Rockjock bump stops with some new springs and it occurs to me that all my existing bump stop knowledge is based on having the steel cup and a foamy jounce bumper and not directly applicable to a set that's mostly polyurethane. How much compression of the poly should I plan for...

    Oklahoma Hayden fan clutch

    I've got a Hayden 2791 used for about a year and a 2771 used for about a week. I found them both to be engaged (making fan noises) more than I'd prefer but a lot of people like the extra air. They both fit 2000-2006 4.0. $20 each local pickup or $30 shipped

    FedEx, bless their hearts

    I had ordered a couple of bushings from Metalcloak the week of Thanksgiving. They ended up getting lost somewhere in Texas and after a week of no updates, I contacted MC and they contacted FedEx, who couldn't tell them where the package was, and MC overnighted a replacement. Here we are, now...

    SOLD RC lower control arms with Johnny joints

    Pair of (shortarm) Rough Country lower control arms. I installed Johnny Joints the first time the original X-Flex joints needed adjustment. They are freshly disassembled, cleaned and lubricated using Redline CV2. Jam nuts are loosened and ready to set to your desired length. The fixed end...

    WTB: Currie/Rockjock lower control arms

    Need just 1 pair of shortarm lower control arms. Need Currie/Rockjock because they use the smallest tube for the body which will help with my front tire clearance. Single adjustable is fine, condition isn't terribly important ...don't even need the Johnny Joint guts, as long as I have the...

    What does Marcellus Wallace look like?

    I took my wifes 4runner to pay someone to change the oil because I refuse to deal with the skid plate or the upside down canister filter. Minding my own business but overhearing the conversation of the technicians, one guy mentions a job application had been dropped off by a guy named Marcellus...

    How much rake?

    Unloaded, my LJ sits as close to perfectly level front to rear as I could have ever achieved, though it wasn't through any specific intent, or effort on my part. The top of the tub behind the doors is about 1/16" lower than at the tail, so maybe total 1/8" of rake across the full length. But...

    Steering damper to drag link (PO shenanigans)

    Just what the hell is going on here? I've had the same steering damper since I bought the 99 TJ in 2017...I never removed it, it just rode with the axle and the drag link when i moved them over to the LJ. I did notice when I put in the HP30 that the axle bracket was wanting to crush before I...

    Calling on OBDII experts, help with manufacturer specific codes (mode 22?)

    A few items like ambient temp and fuel level are present in standard mode 1 PIDs, but not with TJs. I know they're in there, because my thinkdiag2 reads them, I just haven't had any luck on the web finding their PID numbers or decoding equations. If I can get this info, I can pull them into my...

    Cooling system cleanliness

    I've started disassembly for a water pump/thermostat/hose replacement. I just did a thermocure flush and the system was spotless when I closed it up, so I had planned to reuse the G05 (5 year) but was disappointed to see this. When I opened it up. Brown and cloudy under the cap. Rust? Mud...

    How does this happen? (double wheel failure on brand new Jeep)

    says in the comments that he bought this brand new from the dealer 45 days ago, with factory wheels. He's had it to the dealer at least once complaining of a shimmy/wobble and they didn't find anything. Then this...

    I need your busted heater cores

    Doing a comparison between heater cores trying to find what seems like the best option among the aftermarket. I've done a few of what's available, but I'd really like to include these: OEM Performance Radiator Brassworks If you have one of these that you're willing to part with I'm happy to...

    Aftermarket heater core comparison

    with Mopar discontinued and no clear aftermarket choice I decided to compare some of the mainstream aftermarket options. For the first one, I was going to try APDI (recently acquired and now Agility) because based on it's photos it looks most similar to the OE core - the plastic tank is a...

    Rough Country Black Series Dual Row LED light bar

    We don't have a subforum that specifically claims lighting but this one kinda makes sense as a place to talk about offroading related stuff that isn't specific to a TJ. If you prefer video format, it's here . I didn't realize I was in a Nate from Dirt Lifestyle costume (hoodie and backward...

    Has ChatGPT already ruined the internet?

    TL;DR - internet filled with crappy articles with bad info in a desperate attempt for ad revenue, is this written by AI or just dumbasses creating whatever content they can whether or not they know anything about the topic? I watched a video on YT recently talking about the vast number of...

    To tow or not to tow?

    please take this in the context of someone who has never towed long distance anything bigger than about a 5x10 enclosed u-haul trailer, and anything larger (like car on a car hauler, boats, etc) was very short distances. I have the general understanding of major stuff like making sure the load...

    Man almost killed by rogue chain link flying through his window on the interstate

    This happened just a few miles from home on a stretch of highway I use regularly. https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-tulsa-band-cliffdiver-accident-chain/44008058 Amazing he (and his passengers) lived. Solid Final Destination vibes. I don't know anything about the band he's in or their...
