    Future proofing steering box replacement questions

    I have a Dana 30 with 33s, Currie/ Rockjock track bar, draglink, tie rod, but original oem for everything behind it (box, pump, shaft, pitman arm). My steering gear (power steering box) is leaking from the seal on the input shaft. I have put the Lucas ps fluid with leak stop in as I’ve lost fluid...

    Thermostat or heater core?

    At that time where I’m wanting heat in my jeep with idaho getting cold but this seems to be a yearly issue. It just isn’t blowing hot like I know it can. Every year I’ve been in Idaho (now the 4th)I put a new 195 thermostat from some auto store and with a new one the gauge is back by the 210...

    Highline battery relocation (genright)

    I currently have diy stock highline fenders with the battery still on the stock tray mounted to the fender. I have since hit the fender on a rock and have taking some desert trails pretty hard where my passanger fender (a thinner replacement fender) has now ripped in a few places from the weight...

    Genrights ideology to suspension design

    I wanted a make a quick write up on how genrights suspension is set up and why they do it. I am not here to tell you what is better within its design parameters, but I will try and explain why most here do not use their ideology. As always please let me know if I have anything wrong or needs to...

    Transfer case popping out of 4 low (not shifter problem)

    Currently have a 231 in a 4cyl that will pop out of 4low causing the shaft to spin inside. I have a cable shifter and is adjusted properly and when it pops out of 4low it sometimes is very difficult to get it both out of 4low or back in. This also results in the input shaft on the tcase to move...

    Things to do while axles are out?

    I have the ability to get a Dana 30/44 with arbs front and rear and 4:56 gears (the 44 has disk brakes) for a great price. If I’m lucky enough to get these, should I do anything to them while they’re out? I figured this would be a good time to do Blaine’s reverse parking brake since I’ll have to...

    231 popping out of 4 low, what looks wrong?

    Have a 231j (4cyl) that I have put an sye on years ago but had it grind sometimes only in 4high, I then put the savvy cable shifter on and rebuilt it with all new bearings and a wide chain. Since then my 4low will pop out of 4low and begin to grind (yes the cable shifter is set properly and...

    Is it a good idea to buy a used ARB super 35 kit?

    I have 4cyl tj with the 30/35 combo and have been getting to the point wheeling where a locker would be very nice to have. The only problem is in eastern idaho a rear 44 is impossible to find and I still don’t like the idea of an 8.8 swap for the tj. That being said I found an arb being sold...

    4-cylinder cross country crawler build

Since then I’ve read thousands of forums and i finally figured out I was on this forum the most. Not to mention this forum has so many people that are not only active but that have...

    What would the ultimate TJ on 35s be?

    So I'm trying to figure out what would be the ultimate tj on 35s. No plan to go bigger tires but a plan to make it better than an off the shelf lift kit. 6in rear stretch? 12 vs 14 in coilovers ? 2.0 vs 2.5in coilovers? Stock tj width, Jk width, full width axles? Savvy mid arm and tummy tucked...

    Stretch vs TJ-6

    Very new to this forum but I've been reading it for a long time now. I currently have a 97 4cyl tj on 33s and tummy tucked. My plan is to engine swap and go to 37s with coilovers. Something fun to build but also drive anywhere without a trailer. My question is for a guy who isnt trying to make...
