    As the title states, i am selling my Jeep. The NV3550 is making some weird noises (more than the standard weird noises). My question is should i just have a shop rebuild it before i sell it, or sell as is? I have a local shop that quoted me $1300 to rebuild it, using god knows what rebuild kit...

    Can't fix exhaust leak

    I’ve had an exhaust leak for about a year now. I did the soapy water spray test and found it’s coming from where the manifold mates up to the block. I replaced my manifold gasket last year due to a vacuum leak. That is now fixed. It is right about where the middle exhaust bolt is, on top. I put...

    Hardtop repair

    The previous owner of my tj had mounted a GoPro to the top of hardtop. There are screw holes in the hardtop. He attempted to plug with some sort of silicone. Not sure exactly what he used. It doesn’t leak but it doesn’t look pretty. Is there a way to repair hardtops so you can’t tell there were...

    Coolant leak coming from somewhere

    I noticed a tiny puddle in my driveway after I had parked for about 10 minutes. It wasn’t oil but was coolant. Popped the hood and I could see where coolant appeared to leak and the fan sprayed it on the passenger side of engine. Oil filter, intake hose, coil rail, and both hoses going to heater...

    Anyone running a Dynatrac ProRock 44?

    I’ve got a 04 Rubicon and 35’s stock axles. Want to go with 37’s eventually. This is my DD. Can’t afford a $7000 front Dana 60. Curious if anyone can recommend a Dynatrac ProRock 44? I understand you have to reuse your stock knuckle and outer axle shafts. I have the Vanco big brake kit which...

    Can’t get 35x12.50 Baja MTZ tires to balance

    Bought some wheels and tires from desert rat a couple months ago. I have never been able to get them to balance properly. I’ve taken them in to Les Schwabs about 3 times now. Every time I pick up, the ride feels much better. That lasts for a week or so though. Lots of wheel weights on there now...

    Ever since I put 35’s on my rubicon I noticed that I feel a vibration when coming to a stop. It only happens when the Jeep is almost stopped. When I first hit brakes, everything is normal till the last couple feet of stopping. I had brakes replaced with vanco big break kit shortly after putting...

    Exhaust leak?

    I changed out my manifold gasket and exhaust on my 04 4.0 a couple weekends ago. Ran great for about a week. Decided to change the plugs this last Sunday. Ever since then it sounds like I have an exhaust leak. Not sure why changing the plugs would effect this. Maybe just a coincidence. Anyways...

    And... this happened

    was driving home from work today and thought I was getting a lot of vibration and the ride was rough. Looked underneath and saw the ball joint on the drag link that connects to the pitman arm. What the hell would cause this? This is my Currie currectlync steering.
