    Suspension time (budget is 2k)

    Don’t forget shocks and tax. I only keep posting this because no matter how you cut it, it costs around $3k to do the Johnny Joints.

    SOLD 2004 TJ Rubicon, automatic, 33s, lifted

I need something a bit better to...

    What TJ Forum sins have you committed in your build?

    I went back and forth with doing a RC lift or ponying up for a Currie lift. Went with RC because all I want to do is fire roads and basic trails, crossing creeks, etc. Haven’t bump stopped it properly yet. Don’t really care either. It rides good enough and I saved a ton of money which is a...

    Driveshaft balancing

    I had an 83 Cutlass with a 383 in it that I swapped a Grand National axle into. It had a different housing and the driveshaft had to be shortened or lengthened an inch. I can’t remember, it’s been awhile. Anyway the shop I took it to claimed “driveshafts don’t have to be balanced” so I think...

    Where do I add UV dye to the A/C system?

    Spray soapy water into the ports, I located a leak in seconds this way. Replaced the valve and good to go. Worth a shot before worrying about dye.

    Is there a way to make the 42RLE overdrive switch off by default?

    Gotcha, I’m planning a re gear soon so I’m not trying to use it as a solution. That ship has already sailed. The engine simply needs more RPM in all gears if you ask me.

    Is there a way to make the 42RLE overdrive switch off by default?

    Thank you for the info, I’m going to try it out just out of pure curiosity. You’re saying when you hit the switch after the 2-3 shift, the transmission stays in that locked up mode full time until you shut the Jeep off?

    Is there a way to make the 42RLE overdrive switch off by default?

    I was under the impression that one can feel the tq converter locking when the rpms drop while cruising in 3rd. (Almost feels like a shift in to 4th) Is this true? If so, mine does that no matter when I turn the OD off.

    Another Glowing Review for Tom Wood's Driveshafts

    @Apparition serious question. I googled him and saw that way of life thing. There were too many ads on the site for me to understand what was going on though.
