    Vibration Source

    I'm going to ask before I spend more time or replace more parts. With the front driveshaft connected, it's a pretty unpleasant experience to drive on highways and freeways. With the front driveshaft disconnected, my LJ is ridiculously pleasing to drive. 2005 LJ 264,000 Miles OME 2.5" Springs...

    Has this steering knuckle reached the end of its usefulness?

    2005 LJ 263,000 miles. I replaced the tie rod and drag link yesterday using Moog parts, including the ZJ tie rod. Has this knuckle reached the end of its usefulness? The passenger side is not quite as bad but that cotton pin is also above the nut. I'm also getting some wheel wobble if I hit a...

    PRP Seat Recliner Mechanism

    I recently replaced my driver seat with a Daily Driver. Then I decided to move the Daily Driver to the passenger side and purchased an Enduro High Back Recliner. The Enduro arrived yesterday but the recliner mechanism is on the right and I don’t see an obvious way to move the mechanism to the...

    Catalytic Converters (OE Vs Eastern Catalytic Vs MagnaFlow)

    P0113 & IAT Connector

    2005 LJ. I've had this code pop up a few time since spring, usually after I've done something that required disconnecting the IAT sensor so that I could move the air intake tube out of the way, but yesterday it happened while driving. I found that if I move the connector around I can get the...

    Reading Spark Plugs

    2005 LJ/250,000 Miles Could I get some feedback on the condition of these plugs and how they may reflect on the condition of the engine? I've been getting a lean code on bank 2 (P0298) since spring but can't find an intake or exhaust leak so I'm not sure if it's running lean or not. I haven't...

    New PCM with SKIM

    2005 LJ Auto. I have a PCM from Wrangler Fix that I’d like to install this weekend. What I haven’t seen discussed is how SKIS is affected. When I brought this up with Mark he said I could leave the module plugged in and the system would continue to function but it would be helpful to hear from...

    42RLE Solenoid Pack & Valve Body Rebuild

    The 2-4 and 3-4 up shifts are no longer as fast or smooth as they used to be during hard acceleration so I suspect the solenoid pack and valve body internals are bleeding off pressure. How difficult is it to remove and work on the valve body? It looks like just getting it out of the case is a...

    Completing '05 LJ OME Lift

    2005 LJ with 31x10.5 BFG KO2s Yesterday I ordered 2933/2942 springs and a JKS OGS151 rear track bar. I'm planning to order a JKS OGS126 front track bar today and I'd also like to figure out what else is needed to (hopefully) complete everything in one day. My current shocks are Bilstein 5100s...

    Found Screw in Tire Lug

    31x10.5 BFG KO2's with about 30,000 miles. The screw is 1/2" long. In the photo, it's next to the lug it was removed from. The tire hasn't lost any pressure since (6 hours). I figure these tires are popular enough that someone may know how thick the carcass is below the tread and whether or...
