    Help me understand LJ sliders

    Never seen salty roads. I grew up in Iowa where everything rotted out within a few years. I’m still amazed at how many ford and Chevy trucks from the 80’s and 90’s are still on the roads down here.

    Help me understand LJ sliders

    @mrblaine Why don’t you have rocker guards on your website? Is there just no money in it? Not enough hours in the day?

    Help me understand LJ sliders

    Thanks. I’ll play with that. Any brand or specs to look out for when I’m buying rivnuts? Is there such a thing as “grade 8” or equivalent rivnut?

    Help me understand LJ sliders

    Is this the torque box? Couldn’t I cut out the body mount slot to where it just wrapped around the puck and attach it with a rivnut to the torque box?

    Does the preferred method of installation have you running bolts through the floor through spacers to the rocker guard?

    Help me understand LJ sliders

    I’ve read and read about sliders. I’ve patiently waited for what seems like an eternity for savvy sliders to come back in stock. I love the understated look of them without the enormous step built into them. I understand that body mount mounted sliders are a no no, but I don’t understand why...

    Strange steering after box replacement

    So, it’s fixed. I’ve been playing with it for the past couple of days. I removed the box and put a dial torque wrench on it. Never once did it display the bind I was feeling. When I reinstalled the box and re-bled everything, I had a buddy turn the wheel. A few times turning the wheel to the...

    Strange steering after box replacement

    Is PSC the only way to go? I specifically went this route because it was a brand new box. I hedged my bet thinking that the box would work, and replaced my power steering pump with a PSC OEM replacement. If I’m not mistaken, if I go with PSC on the steering box, I’m also going to have to upgrade...

    Strange steering after box replacement

    It does it while on jack stands so we can rule that out

    Strange steering after box replacement

    I replaced my Mercedes box with a new Lares 11356. At low speeds making left and right turns, it’s tight tight tight, and then loosens up. It always returns back to center and all other steering feels normal. I notice it more to the right than I do left. All steering components were replaced...

    Garage Window Storage

    Saw a few posts of people’s solutions and wasn’t crazy. I wanted them all to stack on themselves, take up as little footprint as possible, and come down when the windows were on. Cost was about $25. Most of it being the entire 10 ft 2x10. Used some industrial strength sticky Velcro I had too so...

    PSC Steering Box Question

    2006 LJ on 33X10.50's, Daily Driver/Trail Riding Looking at replacing my worn out steering box and replacing the steering shafts while I'm in there. I just did the Moog ZJ upgrade and it tightened things up, but that box has a lot of play. I'm looking at the SGR400R box with the Line upgrade...

    Rear trim spacers

    I have a lean to the right that’s driving me insane. It sits 1/4” lower on the right in the front, and 7/16” in the back right. Is it as simple as using one of these trim spacers? 10mm is pretty close to 7/16” https://www.quadratec.com/products/16090_6079.htm Will that actually make up the...

    BMB body lift front grill snubbers

    I installed my BMB Body lift and new OEM grill snubbers. The new snubbers aren’t making contact with the frame. There’s probably a .030 gap. Do I need to shim that out or is that normal? Also, for the record, throw me in the pile of people who can concur that the JKS poly pucks are absolute...

    BFG KM3 Out of Round

    2006 LJ 6-speed is in the shop while I'm deployed to continue chasing a vibe. Vibe shows up at 50ish mph. It seems to get better the faster I go, but it's still present at 70. All the usual suspects have been attacked. DS angles, disconnecting DS one at a time, u joints, balancing tires 3...

    Is the sale of Savvy Off-Road a concern for future replacement parts?

    The Saavy being sold thread has gotten a bit off the rails. My main question, is.. Is this a concern for future service or replacement parts? I was looking hard at steering/lift upgrades and then this news dropped. I know that they are quality stuff, but even quality stuff breaks. Eventually...

    4.0 Throttle Body R&R Help

    My gas pedal is sticking. I'll push in the clutch at a stop light to see/hear it stuck at 3K, snap the throttle and she'll fall to idle. That said, I've isolated it to the bushings in the butterfly valve. I can Band-Aid fix it for a few days by dousing it with WD, but it quickly comes back...

    Grounding Stud on Engine Block

    Does anyone know the size of the grounding stud on the right side of the engine block? I’m going to replace battery and battery cables/grounds and the ring terminals are spinning with the stud. I’ve tried holding the stud and loosening the nut, but she wants to come out as one piece. I’ll keep...
