    What gear oil? Dana 35 & Truetrac

    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.

    Best rear hubs?

    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...

    Hubs not spinning freely?

    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...

    CB Radio Wiring Help

    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...

    Fold and tumble seats with child safety latch

    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...

    OEM Hitch Hardware?

    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...

    How do I release the front seat?

    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...

    Is there a trick to getting the bump stops in place when the springs are on the vehicle?

    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...

    Would re-gearing provide better acceleration?

    I have a ‘98 Sahara with the 4.0, 32” Cooper Stt Pro tires, 3 speed auto, and 3.73 gears. On flat level ground and when cruising at speed, everything’s all good, no real complaints. But when leaving my neighborhood, there’s a long, gradual hill with highway traffic coming from both directions...

    What’s this noise?

    I had a slight transmission fluid leak where the hose connects to the radiator. Replaced the hose, took it around the block, all worked good. Today though it’s now making this terrible chirping noise, no idea what it is..

    Where is this leak coming from?

    I have some small red drips that seem to be originating from this hose here near the front of the engine. It doesn’t have any kind of smell at all, and I’m still pretty new to Jeeps. Anyone know what it is? Am I good to just replace the hose?

    Badland Apex Advice

    So Harbor Freight has the Badland Apex 12000lb winch that I can get for $488. I’d say it fits my needs as it would be mostly for occasional use and the price is right for what it is. I have no problems with the stock bumper though and would prefer to keep it. Does anyone have pictures of that...

    Roll bar roof rack

    Sorry if this has been asked but I searched and couldn’t find anything. I ride with the soft top down about 99% of the time and was wondering if anyone made a roof rack that just mounted to the roll bars. Seems easy enough and should be real sturdy but I can’t find anything anywhere.

    Will 32's look goofy with 4” lift?

    Howdy! Curious - I’m a first time Jeep owner and picked up a 98 Sahara that has 32 Cooper SST Pros with the stock ride height. The space between the wheels and fender flares is pretty tight and I’m looking to get it off the ground a bit more. It’s my daily driver, but I enjoy hitting moderate...
