    Would it be ridiculous to sell a 2016 JKU to buy a TJ?

    I sold my 2014 JKU for a 2000 TJ. Not my daily driver. I love it and I'm very happy with my decision. Parts are everywhere, it's cheaper and easier to work on. I have a small car for a daily driver. I would not want to drive my TJ daily.

    Mystery part fragments in transfer case

    I ordered the rebuild kit from Novak which comes with thrust washers. I suppose if I reassemble it with everything in the kit and I don't have any problems, I will just move on and forget I ever saw it :) If I figure out what it is, I will come back and update this thread. I have been running...

    Mystery part fragments in transfer case

    Yes, it was opened to install an SYE. When they put it back together they went way overboard with RTV. I was looking through the most comprehensive rebuild kits and could not find any similar part. It does look a bit like a thrust washer, but I would imagine the thrust washers are metal. I will...

    It appears plastic.. it's not ferrous, at least. I laid out the larger pieces for scale

    Mystery part fragments in transfer case

    Hey guys I took apart my NP231 to deal with some leaks. Upon disassembly, I found a few fragments of something at the oil pickup (along with a metric ton of RTV... everywhere). Picture below. Anyone have any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance.

    Savvy Transfer Case Cable Shifter Troubleshooting

    Reference the attached thread in my previous post.. That was the solution, or at least the right direction. I threw my tj back up on the lift and dropped the skid. I readjusted the cable shifter.. I found it to be binding a bit when in 2H, which I attribute to settling. I adjusted it and took...

    Clicking noise when letting off throttle (video)

    Just checking in, in 2021, to say this threat helped me with a similar issue I had related to the improper torque of my rear upper control arms on the axle side. Thank you evharris, for closing out your thread with a solution.

    Savvy Transfer Case Cable Shifter Troubleshooting

    I found this thread and I think I'm having a similar issue. I did also replace the rear brakes and installed new emergency brake cables. I'm going to follow the advice of that thread https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/lj-click-when-letting-off-throttle-video.6988/

    Savvy Transfer Case Cable Shifter Troubleshooting

    Like I said, when I installed it and ran through the tcase shifts on the rack it seemed to engage each position well. Perhaps driving it around caused some things to settle and it needs to be readjusted. I just wasn't sure if the symptom I was experiencing was commonly related to some other issue.

    Axle questions.. sorry in advance.

    I measured the diameter of the axle housings.. about 1.52 in the front and 1.62 in the back. There are wires coming out of the pumpkins in the front and rear because there are eaton elockers installed

    Savvy Transfer Case Cable Shifter Troubleshooting

    Hello everyone, I recently installed a Savvy T Case Cable Shifter. I installed a 1" Body lift and engine lift a while back and the oem linkage wasn't cutting it - I suddenly would pop out of 4H. I love the new shifter. However, I noticed some unusual behavior and I'm thinking it may be related...

    Axle questions.. sorry in advance.

    I believe front is a low pinion. Looks like a low pinion to me. I will measure the axle tubes.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I sheared several torx bits when I removed my hinges. I ended up drilling many of them out. I posted that here somewhere....

    Axle questions.. sorry in advance.

    Hello guys I am hoping to restore and regear the axles on my 2000 TJ soon. I have Dana 44's front and rear with 3.73 gearing. I know that there are variations of the Dana 44. I do not know where or what vehicles the Dana 44's on my TJ came from as they were installed by previous owners. The...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Yeah I got lucky mine came up in one stretchy piece while hot. I threw on some rugged ridge door liners afterwards and I'm happy with them too

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I changed my transmission pan gasket... for the 3rd time. 32rh, leaked ever since I changed the fluid/filter/gasket a while back. I suspected the leak may have been from difficulty tightening the rear pan bolts because of the skid pan being in my way. I changed the gasket a second time...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Today I installed the Rugged Ridge Sparticus Tire Carrier. It consists of replacement hinges for the tailgate and a beefy steel mounting plate to replace the factory one. When I bought my TJ, it had a cheap tire carrier bumper from amazon. I am not a fan of tire carrier bumpers because of the...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I installed the smittybilt bolt in roll cage reinforcement. I know smittybilt has a lot of haters. But when I received it I was pleasantly surprised with the quality (although the packaging had me worried about damage to the product.. thankfully it was fine). I can't complain after paying...
