    Took it off to fix the winch and want to refinish and paint it with something before I put it back on. What would you recommend? Thinking drill and wire brush then some bed liner material or something. Open to suggestions.

    5-speed, major bucking in first gear if not driven for a few days. What could be the cause?

    99 TJ. If I have not driven it for at least a day or two when I get back to driving the car has some major bucking in first gear. Kind of like when you are first teaching someone to drive a stick. I have to massage the clutch to get it to go. After a few shifts or about 30m it seems to resolve...

    How much force do I use on a stubborn rear wheel adapter?

    I was installing my rear wheel adapters today and they were a bit stubborn to get on. All the lugs line up. It just seems to be a bit difficult around the hub. Is it OK to just torque it down or use a rubber mallet?

    Spring measurement...this should be 3" lift right?

    Can't torque the steering wheel nut down: what am I doing wrong?

    Took off steering wheel to put on a new leather wrap. Trying to torque down to 40ft lbs and even with someone holding the steering wheel I cannot get the damn torque wrench to click. I tested the torque wrench on the tire lug nuts and it works fine. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    Looking for feedback on shop estimate for front end stuff. Can anyone tell me if this is overkill?

    Hi All, Got estimate from a local shop to get front end fixed. Extremely pricey parts wise which is fine but I am wondering if this is overkill. I feel this would of course make the front end pretty tough. Maybe I would go at it slowly over time. Or maybe one level down on part quality...

Apparently the frame was replaced by previous owner and is printine. Intend to use it offroad maybe 4-5x per year at Rausch Creek park. Other than that just...
