    Interesting squeal noise

    Sounds like a bearing is going on one of the pulleys. Idler is always the suspect one that seems to cause this issue most, at least in my experience.

    No more Bosch fuel pumps produced. What is the next best?

    I have a Delphi, but also came across two brand new BOSCH pumps, so now I can rebuild my old original as backup.

    NV3550 shifting problems (grinding in second and third gear)

    I am always overthinking things, but I am an Engineer so it's part of my make up. Often time we find things on forums and there is no hard evidence just anecdotal, and the outcome is driven by consensus, which is why I questioned the AX-15 choice. I am not planning to swap mine unless I need...

    NV3550 shifting problems (grinding in second and third gear)

    I often see that the Ax-15 is recommended over the 3550, but a rebuilt 3550 can be had for $1000. The 3550 also has a lower first gear so I question why not replace it with a 3550 that is cheaper.

    Alternator Life expectancy

    That seems like a pretty cool option that I had not thought about.

    Alternator Life expectancy

    I will probably leave it alone for now... Spent too much $$ on it already.

    Alternator Life expectancy

    I have a 2000 TJ with ~93k miles on it and the original Alternator. I am in the process of rebuilding the TJ, Axles, suspension, fixing rust, cooling, fuel deliver, brakes, etc. The last time I started it ran (6+ months ago) everything seemed fine and did not have any charging issues. I...

    Sway Bar Link Angle

    How much lift do you have and do you have an adjustable front trackbar? I am guessing that the front axle is not centered.

    What's the best off the shelf bed liner, roll or spray on?

    I have used Monstaliner for inside the tub only, it has held up for a long time. Prep is the key, rolling it on is easy. I also use the Rustoleum bedliner on the flares and the rock sliders. The texture is great and especially on the rock sliders makes the step less slippery. I would not use...

    What is involved in changing rear drum brakes to disc brakes?

    I find the brake drums on a TJ to be easy to work on, I am just slapping a new set of Centrics on the rear or some new Carbon Offroad(Currie) axles. I saw no benefit to swapping to discs.

    What are our TJs really worth?

    To me, my TJ is priceless and oh I have way to much invested in it to ever sell.

    Big brake kit or just new rotors and pads?

    I have been running 35"s BMB brakes and centric rotors for several years and they work great.

    TJ owners know it all

    I too see JK/JL owners posting and not saying what model they have, I just ignore them. I also own a 2016 JKUR, but have no plans to sell my TJ, especially since I just dumped a ton of money back into it.

    Who doesn't use their back seat?

    I took mine out 6-7 years ago and have not looked back.

    Tummy tuck dilemma

    I did a tummy tuck about 9 years ago on my 2000 TJ and it one of the best mods I ever did. Getting rid of that stock shovel of a skid plate at the t-case, and raising the gas tank, has provided an amazing amount of clearance vs other lifted TJ's. Sure it's not easy or cheap but it is soooooo...

    Anyone used SafeTCaps for Jeep frame rust repair?

    I am just getting prepped to replace the drivers side trailing arm on my TJ. I think if it is done well it should last a very long time.

    Fun new video of rock crawling in Johnson Valley

    Thanks for sharing this, super cool! I would love to try this in my TJ someday, after I finish putting the Carbon Offroad 44's in it. I would never try this in my JKU.
