    Hydro Assist Install

    Weekend before last I installed Black Magic's Nearly Bolt-in Hydro Assist for Currie Steering. I also switched out the tie rod for BM 4340 tie rod. First I'd like to make it abundantly clear that I am not blaming Blaine's kit or tie rod. The install seemed to go pretty smooth. After everything...

    Virginia Anyone familiar with Peters Mill Run and Taskers Gap OHV System?

    I have been to Peters Mill Run/Taskers Gap OHV System a few times. I used to take my RZR up there, but as a new Jeep owner, I was anxious to take the TJ offroad. The wife and I went and ran Peters Mill Run and got the badge. It was fun but very mild, and I wanted to go back and run Taskers Gap...

    SOLD Brown Dog Offroad 1" Motor Mount Lifts

    CU2883-1, 1" Motor Mount Lifts, Ultra-Flex Rubber Simply took to long to ship and I ended up going another route. I really wanted to use these, but not so much that I'm going to redo the work. Brand new.

    How do I remove this fuel line?

    I too just recently did this to fix the issue with the fuel pump continually shutting off while trying to fill up. Glad to see you got it, as it was a real PITA!

    Clean options for connecting winch cables to battery

    I'm using these things I found on amazon. I was very leery of them until they arrived. They seemed to be of decent quality and they are working out really well so far. The silver ones got some mixed reviews but the brass ones seemed to be good.

    Check Engine Light, No Codes

    I stumbled upon this because driving home from work yesterday my CEL came on. I got home and hooked up my code reader and there were no codes. None current and none stored. I am positive I didn't erase them. I thought that was weird. Disconnected my code reader, turned the ignition off and then...

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    Even though the rear is a 44, should I not upgrade to chromoly axles shafts there?

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    Thank @Willhugh, I really do appreciate the insight. My math for the route with new currie axles I calculated to be near $20k as well taking into account the additional costs you mentioned. However, when I did my research for building my current axles, I came up with a much higher estimate than...

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    Will you guys sanity check me? I think I have the Dana 44 rear axle, but I am still thinking I'd like to get Currie 60 rear and Currie 44 front that @rhanna linked above. I know it seems like an expensive cost up front, but I think I'd like to have the lockers and rear disc brakes. So when you...

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    First off thanks to those who have supplied their free advice/opinions, I really am just a noob trying to learn myself. I apologize for the delay getting the requested photo of my rear axle posted. I took photos the other night, but they were all so dark they were basically worthless. I got one...

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    Well, I guess I’m just curious what is ideal, as if hypothetically money is no object. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying money is no object to me, I’m definitely not loaded! 🤣 Being as this is my first Jeep and I have no idea what I’m doing, I’m just curious what ideal would be. I guess the...

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    That's why I was asking what the ideal setup would be. So would swapping Dana 44s in with 5.38 be ideal?

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    and here is where I show my ignorance.... which ones are there? I believe it is the 42RLE, as it is a 2005.

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    Thank you, I am getting excited about building this thing, I can already see its gonna break the bank! LOL I have read that thread through to the last page. I can happily take pictures, but my question is not what gears should I throw in the axles I have, it is what are the most ideal axles to...

    New guy with another (possibly dumb) gearing / axle question

    Up front, please forgive me if this has been specifically addressed... I have read what feels like endless threads on gearing and axle options, but none seem to answer the specific questions I have. What axles, front and rear, and what gearing ratios would be the most ideal for a TJ, 4.0...
