I ordered a lift kit for a friend here in Dubai back in November along with other parts. I can no longer view my transactions on their website and they are closed every time I call according to their robot. I can't recall the young lady's name who frequents this site. Anyone know? I know, I...

Hello Old Friends, I have not been on the forum very much in the last year so I thought I’d give you an update. I have been deployed overseas for the last 25 years. 2020 looked like it was going to end my run/contract as DoD work was rapidly dwindling. Because of that I sold my TJ (could not...

It is a 2008 E63 AMG. Superb, low mileage rig with only 60K on the clock. Zero rust, perfect inside and out. Been pulling full maintenance on it before I take it out for a true torture test, but it does pull like a freight train. So far, new oil & filter, tranny fluid & filter, air filters...

A bunch of us get together every week here in the UAE and work on Jeeps. When a newbie shows up with an angry bird grill, we shame him and remove it. This week a couple of the guys saved an ABG we had removed and installed it on another guy's TJ. He drove a couple days with it befor he saw...

I may be moving back to the US soon. If soo, I'll have to equip my garage with a compressor. I do not need a professional grade com presor as I will just work on home projects, but would like a 60-80 gallon reliable compressor. I was considering a Quincy QT-5 or QT-54 because they are US...

A buddy and I are taking a stab at our first regear effort. 4.56's. I already had most of the required tools and added an inexpensive press to the mix (it works just fine). Figured we can't do it worse than the local for hire talent and we are being careful, thoughtful and unhurried. Started...

So Amazon keeps sending me the wrong grade oil. I order Castrol 10W40 and they send 20W50. They apologize, fall on their swords and tell me to keep the 20W50 and promise to resend 10W40. Well damn it, I now have 20 quarts of 20W50 in my locker. Summers here average between 100-135° (at...

I do a lot of tinkering on multiple Jeeps with a group of hobbyists. I do not have easy access to a hydraulic press for bearing installation. I am wondering if anyone has ever placed the axle in ice while heating the bearing in hot oil and had the bearing installed that way? Is there an...

Hey @mrblaine, At your suggestion I picked up a Milwaukee locking plier. I have compared it to the Irwin and Knipex that I already own. You were spot on. Milwaukee appears to be a better tool in every way. The Teutonic Knipex pliers are the most expensive and as judged by my own hand, the...

There was recent discussion about the woes and triumphs of Quadratec shipping/service. During the discussion, I mentioned that I had just placed an order for Middle East delivery to my FPO address. Shipping through/to the APO/FPO is not always without issue. Things can and do get lost or...

A bunch of us get together every week for some wrenching therapy at my place. Lots of maintenance and repairs. Often just correcting sins commited by supposed mechanics and previous owners. Today, 10 TJs and one JK.

I just got a new pair of vise grips. Imagine my pleasant surprise to find they are made in America again.

I recently joined an Italian bike (brand not named) forum as I need a reliable source for some odd parts. My first post was to say hello and ask where could I find a charging system for my old classic. A member promptly responded with a link from a company that has everything I need. Two...

I have a leaky AC system that consists of all new parts less than one year old, even the rice burning evaporator. I had to use a knock off evaporator as the one I ordered from the states new in the box had more leaks than a screen door. I see Mopar has them on Amazon for $279. I also see a...

How did any of us grey beards (white in my case) survive to a venerable age before the advent of $800+ designer coolers? Surely we should have suffered population decline from ptomaine poisoning, botulism, or trichinosis. Not sure how I got fresh caught fish home after a weekender with the...

My son just traded his eight year old JK in and got a new Gladiator. He has only had it a couple days, but loves it thus far. I tried to talk him into the Rubicon, but he got the Overland package. It has all the bells and whistles so he is happy. For him it is transporation not a hobby or...

Installed my used engine about a year ago, changed the RMS before installation. Fel-Pro. It lasted six months and started leaking, replaced again. This one lasted another 6 months and is now leaking. I just switched to Mobil 10/30 to see if that will put a finger in the dike. If not, I will...

I have the Spicer u-joints coming. I want to replace the centering yoke as well. I cannot find an application chart and I do not trust Amazon's advice. Does anyone know the Spicer part number for a 2003 Sport centering yoke?

About 2 years or 3k miles ago, I replaced my front drive shaft U-joints with Moog u-joints. The front one at the Dana 30 yoke was shuddering and vibrating at 60mph and higher (in 2wd). The needle bearings were crumbling, plent of grease. Oh well. What is the correct Spicer part number for...
