    Jeep jerks to the right when accelerating

    So this is new. My Jeep jerks to the right when I give it gas, and then jerks left when I let off the gas. It is not a smooth or soft pull it is abrupt and hard. It’s hard enough I have to fight it and turn the wheel to stay on course. If I let go of the wheel, going straight, let off gas it...

    FNX 45

    Anyone have one of these pistols? Looking at picking one up, 45 acp is easily my favorite caliber. Any opinions, from those that have had them are welcome or shot them. Yes they are large for a pistol. Loaded, they do weigh less than half an oz more than a loaded 1911. And yes I will conceal...

    04 5 speed slight grinding

    I have an 04 5 speed that has just started griding occasionally into second gear. It ONLY does it when it’s cold. It started doing this when it was -40 outside a couple weeks ago. When it has been below about -15 it definitely isn’t easy to shift for a few minutes until it warms up. It also will...

    Dana 35 to 8.8 brake lines and abs

    What is the process for converting a disc brake 8.8 to work on a tj? I’ve got a Dana 35, and abs. Obviously drums. Hoping to get my 8.8 ordered sometime soon, already build and welded up for a TJ. Can I keep my Adams cv driveshaft?

    Tj vs Minivan "minor" car crash

    got into an accident last night, on my way down a regular street I drive down every day, a guy made an illegal u turn, didn't signal, and slammed into the side of my jeep. I was probably going 15 maybe 20 mph. I did a 180* in the street, as it was icy. Checked to make sure the fiancée was...

    Dobinsons 3 inch heavy duty springs

    I'd like to make a brief review of my Dobinsons 3 inch heavy duty springs for my tj. They were about $180 or so on Amazon. I really wanted OME but could not find any company that made heavy dusty 3 inch springs. Why did I want that? I just did. I spent several days researching. Very little on...

    Excessive backlash front driveshaft

    When doing my SYE with a friend we noticed my front drive shaft has a good deal of backlash. Way more than my rear driveshaft. Rotating it back and fourth, it goes a good deal before engaging the gears. Is this normal, should the front have way more slop/play than the rear? His bronco front and...

    Lug centric wheels

    Getting a beater YJ and will be moving my wheels to it. I'm looking at the pro comp alloy wheels, but they are lug centric. Will this be problematic? One review says he was told he had to buy some centering ring since it was lug centric and he kept getting vibrations from the wheels, but I...

    How precise does an 8.8 swap have to be

    With an 8.8 swap, I've got a buddy that will do it for free. I said I'd pay for the gas and wire. How precise does the perches and control arms have to be? This sounds stupid asking but I am serious. I'll get an angle finder, I've got starrett calipers (which may not be useful) and other...
