My question is, what size is the whole in a brake disc for a 1/2" wheel stud. The reason for the question is I am swapping a high pinion Dana 30 into my TJ and at the same time doing a faitly common modification in the UK by using Grand Cherokee (WJ) knuckles, whih allows use of the larger WJ...

Hopefully a simple question - but I have a mental block when it comes to wiring / electrical :oops: I am going to run with my spare in the back of my Jeep as I have no need for rear seats. I have therefore removed the tyre carrier and high third brake light assembly. I bought a basic LED...

Apologies, I have found a number of relevant threads, but nothing that gives exactly what I need. I need to repair / replace my clutch and I'm looking for some input on exactly what parts I need. Being in the UK I am limited in terms of suppliers as they need to ship to the UK, or for some...

Somebody I have been speaking to in the UK is looking for new springs for their TJ. They run a hardtop, but also plan to occasionally add a roof tent for camping. They are considering dual rate springs as a way to deal with the different weight scenarios, but not something I feel knowledgeable...

I've been mulling over replacement fenders for quite a while now and keep going backwards and forwards. It's personal preference of course, but I like the look of some of the replacement fender options over the stock look. I've also managed to 'ding' both my stock fenders now, so I can add...

I am being told by a seller that the ring and pinion in a Dana 44 from the back of a YJ are the same as the ring and pinion in a rear Dana 44 in a TJ. Does anyone know if that is correct?

As I traverse the internet viewing Jeep porn, I often see TJs with outboarded rear shocks or coilovers. Invariably these TJs have an upper mounting point formed by notching a 'tower' into the frame. I've probably mentioned here before that making any changes to the frame requiring it to be cut...

There are limited options for an axle swap into a TJ in the UK, so my most likely route to gain a little more strength in the ring and pinion is a HP30 out of an XJ. Watching a few YouTube videos I see some reference to turning the Cs to re-establish caster when a lift is installed. This is...

I'm in the process of swapping out my thermostat and water pump, hoping this will resolve some recent over heating issues (I changed the fan clutch only a few months ago). I have two issues and associated question I would be grateful for help on. First, the one thing I forgot to buy was a new...

I have fitted a 1" body lift, 1" motor mount lift and roughly 2.5" suspension lift. I have 33" tyres. I am lucky to have no vibrations so have neither dropped the transfer case skid, nor, fitted an SYE / DC drive shaft. I am mulling over what I would need to do to my TJ in the future to get...

I have come across a carrier for sale in the UK with what looks like a locker in it (picture below). Any thoughts on what sort of locker it is? Thanks for any input.

I am starting to consider taking on my own regear. I know I will need a few additional tools I don’t own but the one thing I am not sure about is pressing bearings on to the carrier / locker and pinion. I don’t own a shop press, is this the only tool for the job? If so, what would the minimum...

Replacement axles are much harder to come by in the UK. No obvious donor vehicle options and shipping cost for replacement axles are eye watering. I am therefore looking at doing the best I can with a Dana 30. It is worth noting that the conditions in the UK are similar to the US East coast...

This morning my son needed to use my compressor to put some air in a tyre. He moved my TJ close enough to reach and switched it off. When he next came to start the Jeep, nothing. I went home to try and deal with it, but it is exactly as he described. I did the on and off three times quickly...

I currently have a c.2.5” suspension lift which retains stock control arms, 1” body lift and 33” tyres. I now the process of lifting results in a wheelbase reduction, but from other discussions believe it is minimal. I guess at some point I may feel the urge to run 35” tyres (facilitated by...

I have an OME c.2.5" SL and currently still have the stock control arms. I understand the logic that by lifting the suspension but keeping control arms of the same length the inevitable effect is that the wheel base will be slightly shortened, but I have no idea how much by. I understand that...

I has a quick search on the site and while I can see reference to Motobilt bumpers, but can’t see anything on their fenders, in particular the high lines? Does anyone have any experience of / opinions on them? How would you rate them versus Genright, Metalcloak, etc. On a somewhat related...

Last week I had a check engine light come on. I checked the code and identified the issue as P0122 Throttle Position Circuit 'A' Low Voltage. I looked online and found this is usually a bad sensor, though other than the check engine light I have none of the other symptoms mentioned for this...

I had always thought that the reason for Savvy using aluminium for their control arms was weight. But I see on their (old) website that a set of the double adjustable arms weigh in at 58lbs. This compares to the steel Currie control arms on the Savvy site which apparently weigh 55lbs. If I...

I'm looking to do some preventative maintenance on my TJ's cooling system, one of the parts I am looking to replace is the fan clutch. I see in his excellent It Just Happened! thread @Irun purchased the Omix fan clutch, but that does not seem to be available from RockAuto at the moment. I...
