Including the electrical connections on the wheel, 1 or 2 bolts at the floor, and 3 bolts on the steel cross-member, would estimate 5-10 minutes tops. Well worth it, IMO. Just don't let the column spin, otherwise you may break the clock spring.

That's my original write-up on StuOffroad, from 2007. I'd gotten comments from a few folks who managed to do it without removing the dashboard, as you suggest. Since removing the steering column was just a couple of additional bolts, I found it much easier to just remove the whole dash, but to...

Its so completely worth it to live here. I lived in IA for ~ 40 years and the weather there is the worst of both worlds; frigid windchills in the winter and 90 degree heat in the summer with 95% humidity. Flat out sucks. Colorado, by contrast, has mild winters down on the Front Range, epic...

I'm not aware... do you have any links or info regarding this?

To be honest, I was leaning toward the 2016 or 2017 Tacoma. They have a great reputation, great resale, and I prefer the aesthetics. But two factors convinced me to go with the Frontier. First, being the Toyota dealer wouldn't return my calls, even after I sold the TJ and had cash in-hand...

I don't want to hijack this thread, so I made my own. Pictures here: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/on-a-break-for-now.4109/

I've been quiet for a few months, as I decided to take a break from the Jeep life. Had been mulling over the idea of selling the TJ over the last year and pulled the trigger late December. I've enjoyed being a Jeep owner for close to 10 years, but it was time to take a break, and the TJ just...

I picked up a 2016 Nissan Frontier SV crew cab. Planning to throw a 2" lift and 33s on it, along with a dirt bike in the back.

Sorry...haven't been on this site for a few months. Glad the heater core write-up was helpful to you. I ****GASP**** sold my TJ. Still offroading and hitting the mountains, but this time in a new truck.

Then stay away from Denver-area, because we have stupid emissions testing here, too. Such a pain in the a$$...

Take it to another SMOG tester to see if they give you the same runaround.

If you're looking for a bolt-in axle, I'd go with East Coast Gear Supply. They'll build you a Dana 44, Dana 60, Ford 8.8, etc. with a ton of customizable options, including lockers, shafts, brakes. etc. http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-19399212-dana-44-tj-rear-bolt-in-axle-assembly-30-spline.html

I replaced the ball joints on my HPD30 a few months ago. I used the press from O'Reilly's, including the separate kit for the 4WD adapters. Cost $175 to rent, but of course you get your money back when you return it. That press had been put through the wringer and looked like someone left it...

Good thread. I agree with the above advice. I went to 35s about 5 years ago, doing so when I upgraded both my front and rear axles. I myself went with a high-pinion Dana 30 for the front and Dana 44 for the rear. I'd be curious from the experts if installing a Super 35 kit in a Dana 35 is worthwhile...

Snatch those up; that's a great upgrade. I run a high-pinion Dana 30 in my TJ, sourced from a 98 XJ (I believe). Straight bolt-in. Just be aware that somewhere around 98-99 the hub thickness changed slightly. If you have the non-matching hub thickness, your calipers will not fit over it. I...

I love the look of the cafe-style racers, like the Triumph Thruxton. I'm in the market for a bike and took one of those for a spin, but really did not like the way it handled at all. Seemed clunky and heavy for its styling. Beautiful bike, but not much fun to ride...

Nice!!

I had both a 2004 and 2005 883 Sportster. They were great bikes. At least that year, the engine was rubber-mounted so vibration wasn't much of an issue. Not sure about 2001. But as Chris noted, they were carbureted. Sounds like a good deal, but it would concern me that a virtually new bike...
