I see what you mean. Would something like this re locator help? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F7RWT37/?tag=wranglerorg-20 It looks like it can raise about 2 inches, and you can set the studs to whatever bolt pattern you need, so you won't have to worry about a second spacer-adapter sticking the...

Is your issue reaching the mating surface of the wheel (with the higher backspacing JK wheel)? I ran into that with stock TJ Ravines and a 33x12.5. It was easily remedied by using a cheapo wheel spacer off Amazon. I've already given both I bought away as I no longer need them, but you can...

You're a braver man than I

This is where I drilled to get oil on top for those bolts on mine. Its this little flat "keyed out" part near where the rear seat comes down and rests. If I remember correctly, the bolt came up right in the center of this rectangle

I broke the driver-side middle bolt like you did. I had actually forgotten about it until now... next time I'm in a shop ill see if they can extract it, I just haven't been in a shop lately. As far as the rest go, after I snapped that one, I drilled little 1/8" holes above all the other body...

Oh yeah, that rings a bell. Is that the one that slides out on heavy duty slides, and then has a tent-like cover under the liftgate?

The kids might be the only ones that would fit camping in a TJ! When I had my seats out, I tried figuring out configurations that would work, and best I came up with was removed passenger seat, a paltform straight back, and feet up on top of the dashboard. Still don't think an adult would fit...

I too am looking for one. All I can find are XJ brackets without the rubber, or dealers in Canada that wont ship internationally (and probably don't actually have it in stock). I've read lots of threads of older 4.0's being fine without the piece, so if I can find where I put the OE one, I'll...

Got the video now, thanks. Mine sounded pretty darn close to that at idle, and like CharlesHS mentioned, did increase with RPM. My oil pressure was spot on, however this was my culprit: Broken skirt on #1. I wouldn't rule out some other easier issues first, but also don't want to give you...

Not sure if it's just on my end, but I'm not seeing a video attached

For anyone finding this thread in 5 years curious about a resolution, I believe this might be contributing to the knock. Just a little…

Don't have the wife to worry about yet, although I also don't have golf carts and four wheelers to help finance this. So... tradeoffs, I guess? I was kinda surprised, too. I never knew the early life of this Jeep, so I always assumed some sort of premature failure would happen, but I was...

I should've said "Only good news appreciated" :LOL: . And thank you, I wish she was running as good as she looked in that pic... Oh boy. I've been reading through your thread the past hour, looks like I'm in for a treat. Thanks for weighing in, I guess I got a bit luckier with 200k...

A couple of weeks ago, I started noticing a ticking/knocking noise while driving home from a trip that became apparent around 1700 RPM, peaked at 2000 RPM, and was drowned out by engine/wind noise above that. Engine temperatures were perfect and oil pressure was within what I would call normal...

Negative. Those are 17x8.5s. 15 would've been much better for Load C tire selection, though...

So, I guess this is turning in to a saga. A little bit after that rebuilt driveshaft was reinstalled, it started to develop the angry sparrow chirping noise. Grease on the centering ball and u joints an slip joint was still adequate, but the double cardan joint had a bit of a bind in the...

Let me know when you're accepting orders on those 😉

I need to get myself a stand-alone crossmember. That looks great!

@Irun I have been unable to find a dealer in our area that knows what I'm talking about when I call to ask. I've been in communication with mrblaine and Mark from wranglerfix to see what solution there is to reprogramming a PCM to work with an existing used SKIM (since no one makes a new 2000...

Heated seats and locker actuator for me, although mine is a bit different. This is the panel on the Metra double din adapter that crutchfield sells. They have another option for a "change tray" although its deep enough to only keep change in there on a perfectly flat road. This panel's...
