    Violent transmission jerking and banging over 2300 RPMs (after driving rough roads)

    I shifted as much of the cabling away from the engine as I could and it stopped doing it. Reset the codes and drives totally fine now. Must be a short somewhere and that cable was knocked by the potholes into something that made it ground. Further investigation required, but driving for now...

    Violent transmission jerking and banging over 2300 RPMs (after driving rough roads)

    Just drove down a 10 mile road at high speed which had some gnarly potholes which I hit real hard. Immediately orange engine light came on and my TJ got a massive transmission jerking/shuddering... not sure how to explain it, but it only seems to happen over 2300-2500rpm. I've clearly damaged...

    How to handle damage to a hard top

    Yeah, collision places mainly deal with metal cars. Any fiberglass repair shop will do it, boat repairs, Corvette repairs? Just drive it like that for the moment, its solid fiberglass so its still waterproof. It looks worse than it is, as soon as its got a coat of fiberglass resin on it, it...

    Rear axle seal leaking - can I still drive my Jeep?

    Taking it into shop tomorrow, but I need to go somewhere urgently today. I've done 300km since it started leaking as I had to return from a trip. There is oil all over back wheel. Will it damage anything if I drive it?

    Thermo fan—can I mount in front of radiator & keep viscous fan?

    Interesting. I assume also that a TJ without an AC condenser would run cooler.Also a thermo fan in front would restrict air flow while driving... AHHH! Can't wait for an electric version of a wrangler, internal combustion engines are just ridiculously complicated.

    Thermo fan—can I mount in front of radiator & keep viscous fan?

    Maybe I should take it to my local radiator shop and get them to do a bleed or whatever they use... vaccum? not sure. In summer, I get a boil over on super hot days as soon as I stop the car. I have a new aftermarket aluminium radiator and I am suspicious about weather the cap is doing its...

    Thermo fan—can I mount in front of radiator & keep viscous fan?

    I have used a bleed funnel on it but I'm not sure if there is any air in there. Is there a way I can install an air bleed valve at the highest point in the system or something? I used the correct thermostat. I do however have a high flow thermostat which I am considering installing. It never...

    Thermo fan—can I mount in front of radiator & keep viscous fan?

    Only on 110+ degree days, and only when I stop (boils over). I have replaced every single part of my cooling system, water pump, thermostat, radiator, the lot. I've checked for head gasket leaks.

    Thermo fan—can I mount in front of radiator & keep viscous fan?

    It gets very hot where I live. Is it possible to add a thermofan in front of the radiator (in front of AC condenser) while keeping the viscous fan? I imagine most people remove the viscous fan.... but I like the idea of keeping it in case the electric one stops working.

    Alcoa 15" wheel and Duratrac 33x12.5. Do I need wheel spacers?

    I have 3 inch lift and ran 33x12.5 on 8 inch +25mm offset rims. They were super aggressive tread and rubbed at full lock and on my guards which are 6 inch bushwhacker flares. They actually stuck out 20-30mm past the guards which is super illegal here. I ended up getting 32x11.5 Maxxis Razer...
