    New Alternator Recommendations?

    ok Denso looks like a winner. New not reman, good rep, free quick shipping, and surprisingly inexpensive. https://www.dbelectrical.com/products/alternator-for-jeep-tj-series-wrangler-2001-2006-210-0475-290-5113-400-52100.html#applications-list

    New Alternator Recommendations?

    Have had a few bad remans lately for other projects, and satisfied with stock configuration, so what I am asking is: What new alternator manufacturer have you had good experience with? (2006 Rubicon 4.0)

    Trying to Provide Guidance to JL Owner

    I am trying to help a couple fellow Jeepers make a good decision and could use some input. I work with two guys with JL Rubicon plans. One has their rig already, and one has plans to purchase a new 2022. The one with the JL already has lifted it and put on 35's. They both intend to put on...

    Looks really sharp. Are you tempted to remove the flares?

    Canoe Carry With No Rack?

    That’s exactly what I had in mind. I can leave the Old Town at my uncle’s cabin, and get it to the river and back without any extra gear. I think I even have a few of those blue foam block gunwale things lying around, but noodles would work great.

    Canoe Carry With No Rack?

    I’m hauling an Old Town, too. One of best investments ever made.

    Canoe Carry With No Rack?

    Doesn’t answer my question, but thanks for pointing out the existence of search engines. I already searched. Now I am asking for the experiences of those who have tried it. 😉

    Canoe Carry With No Rack?

    Has anyone tried carrying a canoe on their TJ with top down and no rack? I am curious if it can be done with just a little padding.

    What makes you buy one lift kit over another one?

    Mr. Blaine’s insightful observation inspires a new product idea. OP, it’s yours free for the taking: Manufacture a faux high lift jack made out of high density closed-cell foam. It could be mounted in all the high-profile locations where the real ones typically get mounted, but without creating...

    What makes you buy one lift kit over another one?

    Two random thoughts to add: 1. You can target your product development and marketing on the proverbial 2%, or the 98%. You will see better revenue with the latter, though credibility with the former can help drive sales. The aftermarket for the Jeep brand has a “hardcore” ratio higher perhaps...

    WTB: Rubicon Front Drive Shaft Manual Trans

    If I understand right, I would have to remove the driveshaft to get a collapsed measurement? My mobility is a little limited at the moment, so the plan was to rebuild a spare driveshaft to have it ready for putting the Jeep up on my brother’s shop lift at a later date. I’ll be driving from...

    WTB: Rubicon Front Drive Shaft Manual Trans

    I am in Leesburg, 20175. It’s a stock front driveshaft for a Rubicon, but I can check the measurement as installed. I guess yoke face to yoke face?

    WTB: Rubicon Front Drive Shaft Manual Trans

    Looking for rebuildable spare. ‘06 TJ Rubicon, 6 speed manual. If you upgraded, I’ll take that old one in need of repair off your hands.

    CO2 Tank to Replace Locker Pumps

    My thinking is that CO2 might be more reliable and less trouble than the currently problematic air pumps I have, and it would also function for airing up. But then again, that is why I’m asking.

    CO2 Tank to Replace Locker Pumps

    Has anybody ever done away with air pump actuators for their lockers, and replaced with regulated CO2 pressure?

    Dana Spicer 5-1330x

    Found the u-joints at Quadratec for almost half the price of Advance. Plus they had the centering yoke at a good price, too. The seal I will get from Amazon or eBay. If I need new yoke bolts I will get them locally. Denny’s kit would have been a little cheaper - and a lot easier!
