    New grinding feel in steering wheel

    Ok the problem is solved! Look at the video: Mystery grind feel on steering wheel solved My only question is how in the world could the metal brake lines have moved that much to start rubbing against the steering shaft? Thanks for all the suggestions guys!

    New grinding feel in steering wheel

    Thanks Chris! After I did the test, that is what I thought might be causing the grind feeling so I just recorded the findings. On your other note, what do you recommend for the rust? I did have “Ziebert” under coating done 2 years ago and then a touch up this past January.

    New grinding feel in steering wheel

    Chris, here is a video of the dry test. Should I have that much movement? Should the joint at the Pittman arm have that much grease?

    New grinding feel in steering wheel

    Hi Chris! Thanks for the reply! It’s definitely outside the steering wheel. I looked underneath while someone turned the steering wheel to see if anything stuck out, but I honestly wasn’t sure what to look for. What’s involved with a dry steering test?

    New grinding feel in steering wheel

    So this is new. When my steering is dead center and I am not moving, I can turn the steering wheel to the left about 1/2” to 1” and I can start to feel a grind in the steering wheel. Past the 1” it’s fine again. I almost have to do 1 full turn to the right to get the same feeling. I can not...

    BDS Suspension?

    I went through the same thing recently! I was between OME and BDS and I ultimately called both companies and the tech guys from BDS were very down to earth and really knew what they were talking about. They shared the Pros/Cons between the two and after a few days I went with BDS 2” Kit. I am...

    What's the condition of your paint?

    Yeah! I have an 02 with 65k and the original owner must have kept it parked under a car port as the bird droppings killed the hood for the past 10 years. The acid caused paint stains I can’t remove. Plus there are some rust spots starting to bubble on the gate and fenders. Rust is a pet peeve...

    Can I replace the hood ground strap with a 14 gauge wire?

    Hi Guys! Chris or Jerry or any other experts reading this! How necessary is this strap? Mine just broke and wasn’t sure if it’s a big electrical hazard? I see the point of RFI, but will I be fine if it’s not attached?

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    It’s the Kicker CompRT powered by a Kicker Amp 42PXA200.1. Here is the link on Amazon to the speaker: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BLVEZUC/?tag=wranglerorg-20 The AMP is really small and I actually got the setup from admin Chris. The sound is amazing and you won’t believe a 6.75” Sub...

    Ok Chris, I keep reading about your stereo install. My stock speakers just went so now it’s time to upgrade. Can you please provide me your parts list? Front Speaker, Sub, Amp, Roll Bar speakers? Also, can I tie it all into the stock head unit on a 2002 TJ? TIA

    Should I give up on this TJ?

    It’s the value you get out owning one and you may realize that you didn’t over pay for it come summer. That being said, you are pot committed! I am in Ohio too and the rust on my frame looked worst than yours. When I bought it, I took a screwdriver test to the frame and tried to poke holes in...

    Is this Another 1.5 DIN Radio option?

    So I found this radio which is similar to the 2003-2006 1.5 DIN with rounded edges. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5337789113&icep_item=261199321466 The seller claims it is 1.5 DIN. Has anyone tried this one yet? It has the square corners and...
