    I added a Fox steering stabilizer so you didn't have to

    WJ doesn't have the same steering as a TJ. WJ uses a cross over system. Tie rod is connected to both knuckles. TJ uses a Haltenberger system.

    Looking for suggestions on a replacement bottle jack

    Which is the preferred location to jack the front axle with a bottle jack? Is it the control arms/mounts? Is this what the manual indicates? Isn't it dangerous to hurt them?

    Project: a daily driver off roader (4-cylinder)

    Thanks! I picked metric values, because mainly this is what I use in everyday life here in Greece. I am more familiar with metric. I know, it is more practical to just use the full length of the tubing. No extra steps needed. That's what I did. Thanks for the bumper! I have a whole thread...

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I ended up setting my toe in today. I finally achieved a nearly perfect 0.3 degrees total toe in (factory spec), while my previous result was around 1.43 degrees, which was set by an alignment shop. They should not be so proud. (n) If you want to read more info, check my build (post #23 and...

    Project: a daily driver off roader (4-cylinder)

    Time for some before results: My toe in was set by an alignment shop before, but unfortunately as the measurements showed it was completely off. My toe in was set at 1.43 degrees. That was way off! Time to set it right. Calculation of correct toe in measurement Having as a fact that I should...

    Project: a daily driver off roader (4-cylinder)

    Firstly, my aluminum tubings, are 1 meter (39.37”) each. I marked their center, in order to place them in the rotors. I decided to not mark my tire diameter (31”) on them, but to calculate the desired total toe in angle, which is 0.3 degrees, using the total length of the tubings. (It was an...

    Project: a daily driver off roader (4-cylinder)

    Today, I finally aligned my TJ. It was time to set my toe in and center my steering wheel. I followed the instructions of this amazing thread (*Τhanks @Jerry Bransford , for this amazing method): https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-align-your-jeep-wrangler-tj.85/ It was a pretty easy...

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    OR just do what @rasband said earlier. Use a convenient measurement. For example, mark 24" on the tubes. And set the toe in at 0.125" or 1/8"

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Nope. I just used the other calculator to help @JMT realise that he doubled his result. As a synopsis, so we don't confuse the matter any further: 30" tire 0.30 degrees total = 0.15" Range: 0.18 degrees total = 0.095" 0.42 degrees total = 0.22" 31" tire 0.30 degrees total = 0.16" Range: 0.18...

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Nope. The angle would be around 0.125 for a 29" tire. * I think you doubled that. So still not back into spec

    ooh okayy! right! Sorry, my bad. I typically use metric system due to location, so I didn't convert 5/32.

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    No, if you mark at 29", you should measure around 0.15". for 1/16", which is 0.0625" you should mark roughly at 12".

    0.25 degrees for front?

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    As a matter of fact, marking them at points equal to the diameter of your tires has no value to find the correct angle. Just marking both tubes at the same points. So, if you mark it at 15", 20", 40" or 60" has no difference, whether you are running 27" tires or 40" tires. You just have to...

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I simply believe, as I explained in post #286, 1/16" should have started by something calculating the .30 degrees at 12" ( Size of rotor).

    How to align your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Actually, I am not even arguing. What I am saying is simple math. No one can dispute that. I admire the method. I am following the method. Anyone should follow the method, if they want to work on their rig. Since it is a how to thread though, it should be mentioned that there are two options...
