    Replaced cooling system but TJ still overheats

    Hey guys, got an issue that has stumped me after trying (i think) everything. I have an '03 rubi and recently noticed temps being high in the summer heat. Seeing that I replaced the water pump, thermostat, thermostat housing, temp sensor, clutch fan, and coolant. That still hasn't fixed it...

    Swapping stock rear end to Rubicon rear end

    1st picture is the plunger "sensor" that tells the (i'm pretty sure) PCM that a locker is engaged. there is no need to worry about hooking it up unless you want to run lights to make sure you know when the factory lockers are actuated. I'd recommend you do that, mainly because the TJ lockers can...

    Why does my TJ ride like a tank?

    Thanks for the knowledge! I'll probably drop the front pressure to 26 and the rears to 28 since im pulling a trailer around right now.

    Why does my TJ ride like a tank?

    x2 on the tire load range! While I like the peace of mind of having more ply in my E range tires, my butt sure does pay the price when driving for more than 2ish hours. I don't want to hijack the thread just curious. With load range E i'm usually aired to about 30-32 lbs. is that too high...

    Un-Fender Flares?

    Thats the reason I bought metalcloaks. The "flareless" version of them work really well for squeezing around tight corners in wooded trails. And if I bump a tree i know i at least have something as a buffer between my hood and the tree!

    My '03 TJ Rubi and overland trailer

    Haha okay, so I saw it pop up on Craigslist and it looked like an obvious spam so I ignored it. Well a month goes by and I really want another Jeep so I drive the 1 1/2 hours to go see it and it's real! I didn't expect it to be real so I only had 5500 cash on me for another Jeep I was going to...

    My '03 TJ Rubi and overland trailer

    This is my 2003 Tj rubicon, happily nicknamed claire. Purchased it in 2015 for $5500 (yes, i know.) with 136000 on the ODO now at 150000. She's currently sitting on 33" Fierce Attitude MT's with 3.5 inches of spring and 1" Body lift. I also have installed a york OBA system which fills a 1...

    Swapping stock rear end to Rubicon rear end

    The top of the rubi Dana 44 has 2 holes, one is for the rear air line to actuate the factory locker (Note: if you are using factory lockers with an aftermarket pump the pressure to the lockers will need to be regulated to around 5-9 PSI otherwise you'll blow up the little air bladder in the locker)...
