Awesome, thanks for the help as always!

Im in the middle of fixing a leak at the rear differential cover and drained all the fluid, but unsure what to fill it back up with. I have a ‘98 with a truetrac & 4.10 gears. I had new gears installed a few thousand miles ago.

Awesome, just checked because I had them replace all the mismatched lugs and they all have a tapered base. Thanks for saving me the trouble!

Long story short, the previous owner of my 98 TJ ground down the rear wheel hubs to fit some spacers. I recently got new tires and the shop recommended removing the spacers, but since the hubs were ground down, they suggested replacing them since they help to center the wheel when the lugs are...

Ok good to know, when spinning the wheel about how much rotation should I expect for it to be good. After a decent push I get almost one full rotation.

Replaced my rear wheel studs on both sides today with longer ones. Thought it went well, but when I put the drum brake hub (not sure of what the real name is), I noticed the wheels would spin about halfway then get stuck, almost as if the brake is engaged (I checked emergency brake and that’s...

This is the reason I did not do this btw.

Popping back in to share my experience - went with the 4.10 regear in front and back along with Truetracs. The hill I mentioned is not a problem now. Highway rpms are about as high as I would ever want them, so I’m happy I went with those gears for the 3 speed. That said, I was recently...

Replying to myself in case it’s helpful for future users - I ended up using 14 gauge wire from autozone with butt connectors to extend the CB’s power wires to my battery. I then installed a Blue Sea Blade Terminal mount on the battery since I wanted a fuse right above the battery to prevent any...

Hmm I came across this thread where someone had a similar question: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/cb-radio-wiring-question.14070/ I ordered that Blue Sea Blade Terminal mount because it looks like the safest option. Anyone know what fuse I’d need for it?

I got a Uniden Pro520XL based on it being popular around here, but the power wires they give you definitely can’t reach the battery. So I got some 14 gauge automotive wire and butt connectors to connect the existing wires to the extensions. I just kind of don’t know what to do after that, how...

Ah don’t think I want to deal with all that then, seat belt method will work for now. Thanks!

I have a ‘98 which is before all the child safety LATCH stuff for car seats. Since the LATCH system is usually in the actual seat itself, I’m wondering if grabbing a seat from later years would solve the issue? Anyone know when it started and if I’m right in that it’s built into the actual...

Sorry for the dumb question but I just realized today that it looks like my hitch isn’t actually bolted on all the way, there are just two bolts attaching it on from the bottom, but the sides look like they are missing bolts: The holes don’t looks threaded and I don’t see a way to access the...

Sweet, just found it! I was looking for something connected to a cable or something but this will work for my immediate needs.

Been trying over an hour now to remove my front seat to fix the bottom seat foam, but can’t seem to figure out the mechanism that allows the seat to lift and move forward. Only the seat back moves up, the seat slides forward on the track, but won’t lift up so I can access to two rear bolts to...

Interesting, first I’m hearing about this. They just said to take these, pop them in and I’d be good to go: https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/crown-automotive-jounce-bumpers/4161 Ended up getting the rear ones in with some white grease but haven’t done the front ones yet. I do notice there’s a...

Got a 3” Zone lift installed but bump stops didn’t deliver on time. Finally received them and got them placed within the coil springs, but trying to seat them into the cup is not going well. I tried using a tire iron and a small piece of wood so I didn’t scratch the spring when prying upwards...

I didn’t mean to imply my Jeep can’t make it up the hill, of course it can. The issue is more of trying to reasonably match the speed of oncoming traffic when turning into an immediately steep incline. It’s a long gradual steep climb, not just an up-and-over situation. I’ve already been flipped...

Hah! It sure does feel that way sometimes, was even looking into a 4.6 stroker for the day when the 4.0 dies. Can’t imagine how the 2.5l’s can even get these things moving.
