Has that always been the case or a recent change? I've heard (and this makes sense) that there is no way for the alternator to keep up with the draw from a winch, so it's pulling what it needs from the battery. I've just convinced myself that my money would be better spent on a quality AGM...

Actually, I've not had much of a problem with the stock alternator, and the more I look into it the less beneficial it sounds.

I've got an '04 TJ Unlimited with the piddly 117 amp stock alternator. I've got access to an '04 WJ alternator rated at 180 amps and it seems like a no-brainer to make the switch. Anyone done this swap?

As long as the case is intact, you will likely be able to get it refreshed. As @OldBuzzard noted, you may have other issues due to shrapnel from the grenaded shaft. Plan on getting a rebuild kit and refresh the bearings and seals while you're at it., and take a close look at the planetary to...

Looks like the loose spider gears may have seized the pinion gear causing your t- case main shaft to fail? It's amazing you still have drive to the front axle. If you have a slip yolk, maybe it sheared the splines? I've never heard of it happening, but may be a best case scenario.

I think the bulb grease is on the same isle as blinker fluid.

Sure! Happy to help anyone fleeing leftist oppression!

I like the Magnaflow catback system. Maybe a hint of drone, but doesn't bother me even on long hauls.

Or you could follow the traffic that is leaving the state of CA. Easier said than done, though - I know.

I've been tolerating my Procomp adjustable track bar for too long, and the rod end is likely toast again. Due to this thread, I've finally pulled the trigger on a JKS HD track bar.

@Kevo1966 thanks for sharing! I've been looking into upgrading my old seats and hesitant to go with the other options since many of the alternatives meant pulling seats from other old beaters, and many aftermarket options limit the tilt/slide function. 300K miles supporting a 250-lb frame will...

Martynt74's post about his first Jeep made me think about mine: A '76 CJ7 with a 304 V8, Turbo 400, and Quadra-Trac 4WD system. It was 1982 and I was 20, and all I wanted at the time (besides my girlfriend's smile) was a Jeep. That girlfriend didn't last, but my affinity for Jeeps certainly...

I use blue loctite and check them at every tire rotation. I've never had a lug nut loosen with blue loctite.

I get it. My '04 LJ was my DD for a dozen years from when it was new. Finally had to realize I couldn't depend on it as an only means of transportation and had to replace it for DD duties. I still have it, though and don't hesitate to take it on moderately long trips. I don't think I'll ever...

In my case, I wandered off the path with my 1st radiator leak and I stalled an aluminum radiator which only lasted a year or two, thought I got a bad one, so replaced with another aluminum radiator that again began to fail. All the while I experienced sub-par cooling performance. I also was not...

I just got the MORryde Exogate delivered yesterday and waiting on delivery of a stock tire carrier to finish the install. I'm impressed with the quality of the kit and looking forward to getting rid of the wobbly and noisy tire carrier on my bumper. I've actually been a bit worried that my...

It's dial-in your driveline angles day.
