    Went wheeling with the Jeep club yesterday and we climbed a local mountain had a blast but when I got to the top I started to hear some noise from the rear dif.

I am currently working on my rear axle clearance and after cycling it looks like I need 3" inches plus to keep my JKS trackbar from hitting the rear cross support.

    Should I use brake cleaner for front differential maintenance?

    Getting ready to change my front dif fluid on a 04 Rubicon. I have seen a couple of videos saying to use break cleaner to clean the dif before replacing the cover and filling. Is his good to go on a Rubicon locker? Advice appreciated!

    New to me TJ and the Jeep wave

    Recently bought a 2004 Rubicon, have been looking for the last 6 months or so. It is in great shape and I am lucky to find/have it. Saw quite a few that were not in as good a condition. This is my first TJ but not my first Jeep, have owned 2 CJ5's, 2 J10's, and a Cherokee. Really enjoying this...
