    Sparrows in heat?

    Had the angry sparrows a couple years ago. Replaced with an Adams DS and it was solved. Last couple weeks I’ve been randomly heard an odd squeak, that now is reminding me of the angry sparrows chirp, however rather than being at low speed all the time, I’m now only getting a squeak after I’ve...

    Material / structural advice needed

    I want to be able to "disconnect" my rooftop tent from my Jeep when camping. I've got some trips coming up where I might be in a single location for a week and I'd like to be able to keep the tent at height, but drive out from under it. My thoughts are to mount two hollow crossbars to the tent...

    Distributor issue (Jeep won't start)

    TL : DR - Can where the disti and oil pump mate up get misaligned from the cam gear? I'm assuming yes.... New 4.0 installed by mechanic(had 227k miles and some issues that would only be resolved with a new motor). After a couple hundred miles during the break-in process, the CEL turns on. Scan...

    What part am I looking for here? (Engine bay firewall seal?)

    Had a new engine installed and besides the obvious, some “other” things look different. Most I’m okay with. But I’m noticing new smells in the cab AND I see this seal torn. Are they related? Either way, I’d like to replace it. Maybe I should be buying a generic seal and cutting/installing? Help?

    Front brake hard lines

    Out of curiosity... why aren't hard lines run down the axle with a soft line at the center... and soft at the ends? It seems like with larger lifts, you end up with more soft line that could get in the way/caught.

    HVAC door lever back-ordered so I designed my own

    17910.01 is backordered everywhere. Thought I found one labeled as a Steinjager replacement... but after waiting almost two months and being told that it was likely lost in the mail (ExtremeTerrain), Steinjager responded to me saying they are waiting for Omix Ada and the ETA is mid april...

    Possible to swap 27 to 30 spline spider gears?

    Snapped a Dana 35 axle a week ago. Both a curse and a blessing... didn't snap it on a trail far from home, instead snapped it close to home accelerating too fast from a stoplight. Needed to get back on the road fast, so I just replaced brakes/hardware/wheel cylinders and the axles/bearings/seals...

    Suggestions on stuck c-clip?

    Snapped a rear axle shaft… Got the unbroken shaft out with no issues, but the snapped side is posing a challenge. I’ve got a long wooden dowel pushing the broken piece into the diff, however this side is acting like there’s not enough clearance for the C clip to pop out. Too much pressure seems...

    Center dash panel "blank"?

    Has anyone made or seen a blank center panel lower? I have the newer design with 4 switch spots, two 12v outlets, and the blank space on the right, but recently installed an 8 switch solid state panel so I could get rid of a bunch of relays and clean up my wiring. I'm now trying to clean up my...

    Starter bolts?

    Did some digging and found a couple references to the bolt being an M10-1.5. I picked one up, however it just doesn’t seem to bite. Is there different size I should but using or am I looking at stripped out threads on my starter?

    97 Crank Position Sensor Seal / Gasket?

    Installed a new Mopar CPS yesterday and found a rubber seal around the hole.... crumbling and falling apart. Did a couple searches and can't find a description or part number for the gasket/seal. Anyone have a clue? 1997 4.0 with AX15.

    High output alternators (how much amps?)

    I'm starting to camp more and more from the Jeep and power is pretty important for all my accessories. I am running a dual AGM setup, however it really doesn't do well running my fridge when I'm parked for 2+ days unless I have PLENTY of sun. After a long weekend camping under pine trees I got...

    Throttle body issues?

    Chasing a couple intermittent misfires. Today I replaced some vacuum lines with ones I got from a silicone kit then hooked up a smoker to the Brake booster line. Smoke out the air filter as expected, however I had smoke coming out the throttle body, appearing to come from where the spring is. Is...

    Is a diode needed for dual battery setup if I want two options to bridge?

    Probably not the best way to phrase the question. I’ve got a dual optima setup and a battery isolator. 12v to the isolator bridges the two batteries in order to charge the secondary while driving. I’m about to put in a solid state 8 switch panel and one in the many switch labels gave me an...

    Misfire and spark plug colors

    So I’ve had an intermittent misfire for awhile. P300/301/306. In the beginning it wasn’t all three, but recently it has been and clearing codes didn’t last more than a minute. Replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, cap and rotor oh… let’s say 10,000 miles ago. It didn’t fix it. Replaced...

    Fix for poor rear view visibility

    Just got my birthday present installed.... and super excited about it. Digital mirror, 2.5K camera facing forwards, 1080P camera in the rear mounted in my spare. The mirror straps over your stock mirror and has REALLY snappy voice controls (show front camera, show rear camera, show both cameras...

    How do I keep my Bestop Sunrider from flapping?

    For those of you with sunriders... do any of you leave it open at highway speeds? Some days I have no problems and other days wind catches it and pulls fabric down into the cab getting in the way of my head. I've thought about getting some aluminum or copper tubing and creating a U shaped...

    Hopefully a different engine swap thread?

    Been doing a lot of reading on engine swaps, different options, etc. It seems like the majority of the threads are focused on horsepower and cost. While I'm interested in power... or say, not losing power, I'm more interested in potential fuel economy gains. I'm also in the communist state of...

    Air helper springs

    I've got 3" SL, 1.25" BL, and for the most part I'm happy with it. Daily driving it's level, looks good, suspension feels solid and not too stiff. When I go camping though, I get some sag between the RTT, fridge/freezer, water, mountain bikes, etc. I've got family members that have air helper...

    Door pin switch wiring

    A few months back I replaced the aftermarket alarm the PO had installed with a model that had a two-way remote and a mile + range. I re-used the door trigger wire that the PO had used, located under the dash to the left of the steering column. Last week I started getting alerts that a door was...
