I'm considering picking up a used 4.0 and starting to build up a fresh motor. I can pick up a 2000 4.0 about an hour from me for 175 bucks. It has a wrist pin rattle and need to be rebuilt, apparently the head was redone 4k miles ago. I'd like to rebuild it but not sure what I'm getting...

So while overhauling the cooling system I've made a couple of interesting finds. First, my mopar water pump, presumably the factory pump with 140k shows some odd build-up or corrosion, almost a degradation of the housing behind the turbine. I don't think it was hurting anything but I thought...

My TJ is making a motor tapping noise. sounds like bottom end and I hear it more clearly on the right side in the fender well. I'm not an engine expert but im thinking a rod bearing. It's not one of those horrendous something is broken knocks, its more of a tapping. Ive had plenty of cracked...

Gonna show up on the 9th and camp then wheel most of the 10th. moving on on the morning of the 11th. Gonna have the family with me so nothing too wild or off camber. Just some easy going trail riding and as many rocks as the wife and kids will tolerate. I'm locked on 35s, outboarded mid-arm...

bought this in 2013. Saving for PRP with tweed next time. YMMV. FWIW....

I'd like a few odds and ends, some backup parts. some things I dont need but would be less dented or scratched. I would like a set of half doors, I really could use a new windshield frame, the hood could be less dented, who doesn't like to have some extra factory fog light switches. Any engine...

Skid plate was covered and it had started to drip to the floor. Only happens when driving or on certain angles as far as I can tell. Cleaned it up and had cardboard under it for a few days while replacing an axle seal and have seen nothing. Started taking it up and down the road a couple of...

Has anyone replaced the RMS specifically on a 2000? I've seen some conflicting info on the style of RMS used and mention of a mid year model change. Am I going to need the early model seal with the legs or the later year without? Factory service manual for 2000 shows the legs on the RMS but no...

@Chris I'm not sure but I think there's somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 total site members in Oklahoma... could you drop their user names in here? I've already reached out to @freedom_in_4low Big change coming from Socal / Johnson Valley area to this desolate and lonely offroading...

During our next PCS move from 29palms to Fort Sill, OK we're planning on stopping in the Lake Tahoe area so I can wheel the Rubicon Trail. Would anyone be interested in joining me sometime early June? Im reading 33s, a locker, and skid plates as highly recommended minimum equipment.

Well my wife is taking my kids to 2 separate birthday parties on Saturday. Good excuse for me to get another wheeling trip in. Thinking about heading out to Johnson Valley and running Sunbonnet or something similar. 33s or under need not apply, open diffs need not apply. I know its late...

Continued from the "socal Jeepers who like to go offroading" thread. Just want to get everyone who plans on attending on one dedicated thread so i can stop hijacking the other one. Run will go Saturday March 20th. Looking at an early showtime around 0800 but i know some folks are coming from...

So I got my orders today. Checking in to Fort Sill sometime in June. Told one of the Gunny's I wheel with there wasn't any decent wheeling within 5 hours ( he was stationed there prior to 29palms). He said there's a few decent places (not powerlines or redneck mud holes) within 3 hours but i...

Needed to replace my plugs as they are long overdue and was troubleshooting other ignition issues. Was on a time crunch so after ordering Mopar plugs from dealer (with a wait to get them) I also ordered NGK from Rock Auto in case the dealer plugs didnt show up in time. Ended up getting them the...

what the hell is going on here exactly? Near as I can tell there's no rough spots where it used to be attached on the inside of the neck. Now whatever it is is just rattling around inside. I can hear it when I come to a full stop bumping around in the fluid.

I've got a squeak or chirp going in what sounds like the rear of the jeep. I was convinced it was the centering ball so I replaced it. stupidly did not do the U joints at the same time so after the noise persisted i replaced all my u joints with replacement TW gold standard joints. with a...

Been reading the build threads lately and I've been asking myself "why didn't I do one of these?". Well I still have most of the photos so I'll attempt to get from start point to present day. I've rebuilt a Rubi Tcase, an ax15, built most of the current jeep from scratch ( and my old jeep )...

Im up for orders again this summer, no idea where im going yet. went from camp pendleton for 3 years to quantico for a year, back to 29 palms for 2 years and quantico again looks likely next. The best thing about the west coast is all the BLM land. I have grown to love desert wheeling, anza...
