    Noise at full lock

    I have been hearing a low pitched ticking noise when turning full lock in either direction moving and still. The sound happened before and after a full zj steering install along with new balljoints, u-joints, and unit bearings. The noise only happens when fully turned and I can let off just a...

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    Great! Thank you both. It does make sense that since the tj and zj use the same drag link the tie rod would be comparable in size.

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    Will the ZJ tie rod fit for a stock TJ? I haven’t seen anyone mention if it does or doesn’t fit. I just want to make sure since currie’s steering does have lift requirements. I do enough minor wheeling that a beefier tie rod will give peace of mind and I need am going to need to replace the ends...

    Lifter tick or cracked manifold?

    My average is right about there usually as well. I think the manuals have the capability for a little better mpg since we don't have overdrive. On a side note, I love that transmission it has helped me get through trails some small lifted jeeps were struggling through because of its ratios. If a...

    Lifter tick or cracked manifold?

    Thank you all for the responses. As of right now I will do a bit of inspection but for the most part leave it be unless it starts getting louder. I will update this if I find anything.

    Lifter tick or cracked manifold?

    Ok I an glad to here that. The ticking hasn’t affected me at all I just finally have time to research into it. A friend has also said he thinks he has heard an intake leak when I accelerate, I’ve never heard it so I presume its just the aerodynamics. Just for theories sake, lets say my gasket...

    Lifter tick or cracked manifold?

    Ive gotten as high as 18 while this was going on and I have still been getting my usual gas mileage since I got the Jeep at the 15-16mpg mark. The three speed may be making the difference because 45 mph the Jeep is the happiest for sure. 2k rpm in third gear and also when the torque converter...

    Lifter tick or cracked manifold?

    I have not inspected the bolts no, until recently i presumed it was just lifter tick and wasn’t causing many problems. I am not burning oil just leaking a little bit using valvoline high mileage 10w30. I changed oil a couple times to different brands and pennzoil made it slightly louder. Plugs...

    Lifter tick or cracked manifold?

    This has been going on for a while now I just haven’t had the time investigate it. On start up the jeep makes a bit of a ticking noise but goes away once it is heated up. Doesn’t happen every time but it is frequent. It is a 1998 4.0 3spd sitting at around 130k miles and a seemingly stock...

    How to install heated seats in your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Worked great for me and even with a thick seat cover over the seat the heat gets through easily. The hog pin pliers that come with it definately aren’t the best I ended up using small zip ties instead they were easier for me to fit in.

    How to install heated seats in your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I am not sure which fuses I tapped into. I avoided the 12v which charges my phone and just did trial and error with some of the interior fuses that would only be on with ignition. If it turns on with the car fully off I’d switch to a different fuse. I have had them for a full year now and have...

    Savvy engine skid out of stock

    That is the exact image I have been looking at for months. I have been tempted on other skids but it isn't vital for me to have one so I am going to hold out

    Savvy engine skid out of stock

    I got responses back about this exact problem. They had said they got shipments of the skid get delivered but since they never were order-able on the website they must be fulfilling backorders still.

    Savvy engine skid out of stock

    There was no way to order on their site since it was out of stock.

    Savvy engine skid out of stock

    That is quite unfortunate since the savvy skid was exactly what I was looking for. Barnes has a similar skid made of steel I may end up with since I never liked ufc’s weird bolt battern to the tcase skid since mine is stock.

    Savvy engine skid out of stock

    not sure if anyone else is in the same boat but I have been wanting to order the Savvy engine skid for about 4 months now but it has been out of stock on their website the whole time. After a few emails about a month apart they stated they had skids ready to ship in a week both times. I checked...

    Strange rapid honking like noise on cold start

    The OPDA is connected with the distributor as far as I can tell. I drove a solid 400 miles after the noise started because I had to. Oil pressure was normal and the sound was gone before I even hit a main road. Does anyone know if the OPDA will make noises only when its cold?

    Strange rapid honking like noise on cold start

    I most definately will do that when I get the chance. It sounds very far back in the engine bay right around the area of the distributor so I am going to start with that and go to the belt next. Videos I have heard of the distributor going out didn’t sound the same but it was the same beat. It...

    Strange rapid honking like noise on cold start

    The jeep isn't a late model so I wasn’t thinking of that. I haven’t gotten to test but I plan to spray some wd40 into the distributor to see if the baring may be going out. Today I started the jeep when it was around 70 and the jeep was in the sun. No noise at all.
