    How screwed am I?

    Hey guys, long time no see. So I was accelerating onto a highway the other day and got this huge vibration throughout the entire Jeep. Limped it over to a repair shop and they said they wouldn't touch it because of the lift kit but that they think a u-joint(s) had finally kicked the bucket...

    Troubleshooting my way through a tune-up—need suggestions

    Long time no see. So, long story short, Jeep runs fine at the moment but is getting complete ass for gas mileage. I'm talking like, 80 miles eats up half a tank of gas. So now I'm about to go back under the hood to go through everything and try and give it a tune up. Specs are listed in the...

    Gurgling coolant system?

    So, I've noticed this in the past, or at least the noise coming from the engine bay after a drive home from work or something. The temp gauge reads just slightly above "normal" or the halfway point and I've not noticed the Jeep running noticeably hot at all but after driving back from Raliegh...

    Need help shopping for new gears

    Hey there guys and gals, RE 3.5" lift + 33" tires on an otherwise stock Rubicon. I'm looking to gear up to 4.56 to get some of my fuel economy (stop laughing) back, as well as a better ability to maintain 60mph without having to kick the OD off or settle for 55 or 75 depending on if I want it...

    What's this? (Electrical Connector of some sort, plz Identify)

    I was looking at re-installing either stock fogs or some 9" LED bars on my front bumper and, to cover all of my bases, decided to make sure the factory wiring was still in place and serviceable. The good news: The driver side plug is still there! The bad news: The passenger side plug was ripped...

    Transmission issue?

    I did a couple of searches and looked through recommended/similar threads when I started typing this up, couldn't find an existing thread that I thought lined up with my issue. 06 Rubicon, automatic trans, when the jeep is warming up it doesn't want to shift unless I fiddle with the gas pedal...

    OEM Shocks (06 Rubicon)

    The shocks on my 06 Rubicon are pretty much shot and rather than buy brand new OEM replacements I figured that enough of you have lifted your rigs and might potentially still have some of the OEM shocks laying around. This is a bandaid fix until I can put together the parts for the lift I'm...

    Bringing her home tomorrow!

    Got to MD and swapped out the OPDA, replaced the windshield and got the tops sorted out. Bringing her home tomorrow. 06 Rubicon with 110k on the odometer. Got a little bit of dirt on it while driving around and visiting some old hangouts.
