    Exhuast Manifold on 2.5L TJ bit the dust

    Where can I get a good stock replacement manifold kit? Are Omix or Crown close? I don't want aftermarket headers etc. just going back with stock. Also is there a gasket/seal between the converter pipe and manifold or is it just metal to metal? I see one on some online diagrams but not finding...

    Time for a new steering gear box

    Well today I have 35s but may never go beyond 37s for sure. I wondered if it is best to go hydro assist now and be done or not sweat it. This is the OEM gear box from a 97 but until I bought it 2 years ago it was not wheeled at all.

    Time for a new steering gear box

    My gear box on my 97 TJ has kicked the bucket and I am trying to decide on a) a stock replacement box like mopar box listed above by @Jerry Bransford b) a box from a dodge durango (non-snow plow) or a hydro assist set up from West Texas Offroad. I am leaning to the hydro assist but I still drive...

    Anyone running a roll cage?

    Yeah I was kinda skeptical of that cage. The likelihood of me rolling in my TJ is low given where I use it but still good to know you got coverage if you did including on the road.

    Anyone running a roll cage?

    Any one have any experience with the Smitybilt cage? I am looking for some beefing up but never expect to do any real hardcore stuff. Just light trails and rock crawling. I have read reviews on amazon and seem decent but didn't know if anyone had experience good or bad with it.

    505 Performance for the 2.5

    Can you explain this a bit more? Are you saying even with a SC the fuel regulator will limit the power to stock?

    Advice on a 2006 steering gear box

    My stock steering box in my 97 TJ just died and I need to replace it. Is this worth going to a durango box or just swap a rebuilt stock one? I am 60/40 onroad vs off road in this TJ and running 35s with no plan to go bigger.

    Tummy tuck What transfer case skid do you use

    I have the UCF ultra high clearance skid and am considering getting the aluminum skid plate to add to it. I am wondering if there another brand/type skid that I could use to my oil pan other than the UCF one? Just looking for something a bit less expensive if possible but not at the expense...

    Tire Pressure

    I am getting ready to go to a 35"loadtire and am debating whether to invest in beadlocks or just go with 15x8 steel wheels. If I can get to 10-12 psi as noted here I am thinkning that will do me just fine. Any thoughts on reasonably priced beadlocks and are they worth it?

    The Ham & CB Radio Thread

    Thanks! That is helpful and the note about the best ground makes sense. I lilked the other one because it was very clean looking and no exposed wires but this makes more sense!

    The Ham & CB Radio Thread

    Thoughts on the mounting bracket? I know I will have to drill it versus use bracket that mounts to tailight holes. I have swapped my tail lights for flush mount ORO lights. So I am thinking this is better options.

    Radiator fit issue

    Thanks for the advice. Ususally the first think I think of is did I install it right or did I hook something up wrong. Trust me I have had my share of learning experiences. However, I have checked it versus the old one and don't see a way to have installed it wrong (ie too high). Like I said...
