    Front brake binding/catching

    Been having an ongoing issue where my front DS caliper will rattle and intermittently bind with the rotor. I'm on my third caliper now, and the issue persists. PO installed drilled/slotted rotors and calipers about three years ago and the vehicle has done roughly 25k-30k KM's since. Feels a bit...

    Car cancer and the woes of doing a "back-half"

    I've had my Jeep for about two and a half years now and i'm aware that the inside of the frame was starting to corrode and flake. But just the other week I noticed a spot about 3/8" dia. just ahead of LR wheel where it has rusted through. I do have a plan in the works to install a long arm kit...

    Mid-rear rock light inspiration

    Currently in the process of adding some rock lights and I'm curious what you guys have done for rear tire illumination? I have decent lighting installed for the front half of the jeep already and wanted to know what clever ideas you guys have come up with? My tentative plan for the back half...

    GenRight shipping to Canada is disgusting

    I guess this is a bit of a rant here but why does Genright have such awful shipping rates to us north of the border.. I'd love to support companies who make products here in North America but not with shipping rates like this....

    2.5 experiencing low oil pressure

    Tech question for the more savvy mechanics out there. Jeep makes good oil pressure, hovered around the middle of the gauge (3bar?) but drops rapidly when I exceed 2200rpm. I know it’s supposed to drop 10psi per 1000rpm but this seems a bit strange. It has a recently replaced oil pressure sensor...

    Any fellow TJ enthusiasts in the Powell River/Sunshine Coast area?

    I'm looking for one or more people in my area to go out wheeling with. Mostly just easier trails and the FSR's to get to them along with some possible trail building.

    Is there anyone on the forum who knows/has the part number for the front fender side marker socket? I have a 1997 SE and it needs the socket with three cam thingies, can only seem to find them with four...

    Axle gears: Alloy USA reviews?

    Good day all, I'm looking at pulling the trigger on some Alloy USA 4.88's for my TJ from 4Wheelparts.ca for a reasonable price ($1050CAD) but I'd like to hear from the forum members about their thoughts and experiences with this particular brand. Thanks...

    Front suspension questions

    97 TJ, base model with four angry squirrels. PO did what I believe to be either a 2” or 2.5” suspension lift. Since owning it I’ve added a winch and mounting plate that has sadly added 100lbs to my front bumper. I’m considering the possibility of adding a coil spacer up front to compensate...

    (SOLVED) Weird symptoms with automatic PCM in manual TJ (2.5, AX-5)

    Starting a thread to discuss/investigate some intermittent engine stumbling/staggering issues I've noticed after I bought this TJ with regards to possible compatibility issues with having a PCM from a TJ with an Automatic As per @RMETeeJay 's suggestion I've started a new thread here to post...

    Four angry squirrels, or the TJ 2.5's and 2.4's

    Excellent advice from both you and @Jack72. I think 5.13 might be the choice all things considered.

    Looking for 5.13 gears for my 2.5 TJ

    Apologies for having the dumb here, but just to confirm/clarify, with my stock SE having 4.10's, getting a new and/or different sized carrier is not needed? Dana 30/35 running 33's

    Four angry squirrels, or the TJ 2.5's and 2.4's

    Can't decide whether I should do 4.88's or 5.13's for choice of gears to go with my 33's.. For daily driving I'm mostly doing 55 Km/h (35 Mph) and highway driving at 80Km/h (50 Mph). Ideally having a gear set that facilitates crawling up the steep rocky trails in BC and easing over logs and...

    Arizona Rock Crawling Daily Driver

    Minty, appreciate the input🤘 I love your rig and hope to have a capable setup like yours one day. Eventually when I can upgrade axles I'll definitely go with a proper locker. But with my Dana 30 front and 35 rear, a lunchbox front and limited slip rear is all I'm comfortable doing to keep the...

    Arizona Rock Crawling Daily Driver

    What's your experience with the lunchbox lockers in snow? I've been thinking about getting one for my TJ and I do like to wheel in the snow. Aside from steering becoming more of a general suggestion with the addition of a locker/limited slip, is there any other tradeoffs?

    New suspension seems way to stiff

    I'm running a RC 2" lift coil with Bilstein 5100 series shocks, and 33" tires at 25 psi for on road use and light wheeling. Ride is fantastic👌

    97 TJ 2.5 gear swap and carrier change

    New member here, been snooping around the forums for a few months. I bought a TJ about eight months back and it already has the 4.10 and rear LSD combo. Sadly the mountainous area I live in and 33" rubber has me down on power for my daily commute and lacking a slow crawl speed for the steep...
