Hi TJers, I need to route a 8mm cable from the main battery to the auxiliary battery in the back. What would be the best spot to get through the wall between engine compartment and the inside of the car? I thought I could go through the holes for the removed A/C but that ends up in the black...

Hi TJers, I've got a Long Ranger tank that came with abysmally bad hardware to connect it. So bad actually that it is impossible to fill the tanks up to capacity. I'm now planning to get a dual filler neck done to solve that problem. The original filler neck has a 1 inch pipe down to the main...

TJers, I got the Longranger Tank installed recently. Unfortunately the car failed the inspection because the filler hose got squeezed a little between the tank and the top of the shocker: From there it goes to the tank in front There aren't too many other ways to route that hose as far...

Hi, I got my control arms replaced and the wheel alignment done. That came with a nice report: Unfortunately I have no idea how to interpret those numbers. Especially toe at the rear. Why is it so much off? Or isn't it? It looks like it can't be adjusted anyway. And what is thrust? Can anyone...

So, I got told my lower control arm bushings are bad and I have to change them. I went to my mechanic and he tells me, that they are called trailing arms. But they look like the control arms, that quadratec sells...

I'm relocating the license plate to where it actually belongs on a Wrangler and bought this bracket: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BVFNPQ79/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Unfortunately the bracket comes without the hardware. Does anyone know what kind of bolt is used to mount the bracket?

There is a plug not connected to anything under the dash: Does anyone know what it is for?

I was a bit unlucky three weeks ago on a trip to port lincoln. The clutch gave up on my way and I had to go to the local mechanic 800km from home. I got a new clutch (KJE26001 Kit STD) and they gave the flywheel away for machining. I read somwhere on this page that this should not be done...

I got my TJ re-geared to 4.11 (I asked for 4.10) recently. I'm very happy with it but I wonder what the difference could be? If the ratio gets calculated by dividing the number of teeth on the ring with the number of teeth on the pinion, I can only ever get to 4.10. I got Nitro gears with a...

I reversed my wife's trailer into our driveway recently and did use 4L to get it up a little ramp. As I was turning, I noticed how the transmission wound up, almost bringing the car to a stop. So, I changed to 2H and back to 4L for the remaining meter. Nothing broke fortunately. But now I'm...

I'm a bit unsure what kind of fenders I have and where they are measured. The ones that I have are ~120mm wide measured at the center, i.e. about 4.75 inches. They are smaller at the ends. I've got a Sport, so I expected them to be 3.25 inches wide. The fenders for the Rubicon would be 4.25...

I ordered a pair of ARB lockers and 4.10 gears for my TY recently. I was quite confident that I have a Dana 30 in the front and a Dana 44 in the rear. At least that is what the spec sheet says: https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=1J4F449SX3P346380 DANA 30/186MM FRONT...

I got my 35mm (1.38 in) spring lift installed recently and didn't expect any problems. My understanding is that lifts up to 2 in don't cause any driveline issues but it appears that all TJ's are a bit different. My TJ feels a bit rough now and I don't know if it is coming from the driveline or...

Hi all, After reading this forum for quite some time now, I finally decided to do some work for myself. However, I'm not as extreme as most people on this forum seem to be. Rock crawling isn't the goal, I'd rather have a capable car good enough to cope with Australia's more "unmaintained"...

Hi all, I got some trouble with my drive belt yesterday. It seems to slip on the pulley for the A/C, maybe the bearing or the compressor itself is toast. However I never use the A/C, so I thought about getting a new drive belt for the model without A/C and just skip the A/C compressor...

Hi, I bought a handheld radio for my next 4WD trip. I'm a complete novice when it comes to radios. I got a UH755 with lots of accessories: https://uniden.com.au/product/uh755-2dlx/ In the box there are also separate microphones, this one: https://uniden.com.au/product/acc755/ When you have a...

We did have a bad hailstorm last Thursday in Adelaide with hailstones the size of golf balls. My TJ got badly damaged, the bonnet looks like a golf ball, the windscreen is cracked, indicators at the front and the rear lights are knocked out. I temporarily fixed it with sticky tape and epoxy glue...

Hi Everybody, I just joined this forum, although I own my TJ for quite some time. It is my second one actually, I bought my first TJ in 1998 in Germany and this one about three years ago here in Australia. I never had any issues, except only recently when I switched to ULP 91 octane. I was...
