I am really out of my element here and could use some help. I have my deceased husband's Jeep for sale here on this forum and on Autotrader. I have had good response. Recently an interested buyer requested an inspection. I am glad he did because it revealed some mechanical issues that I was not...

Jamie passed away unexpectedly in November and I must sell his beloved jeep. For more info, pics, list of mods and autocheck report please see the Autotrader listing. It was involved in a very minor accident in Oct but there was only a small dent to repair on the right top front above bumper...

Well as the title implies I wrecked Ole Blue yesterday. Nate's bumper did exactly what it was supposed to do. Other than the bumper, fog lights, and some right fender damage it is just amazing considering that I ripped out her axle and drive line. The frame looks dead nuts straight (industry...

Ok so what do you wish you had understood better or read the instructions before you started the project.

Anyone else creeped out but the SA 76 commercial "I can taste my beer?" It's ok until the bar scene where the guy and girl are kissing then a dude pops in and says "I want to taste his beer." That's just creepy shit right there. I mean which team is he wanting to play on? I don't know maybe...

So I got the ZJ rod today (Moog DS1312) but noticed that the joint did not have a zerk fitting on it (or a hole for one). It was one of their "Problem Solver" units; would that be the explanation? The pic of the order shows the zerk and end boot but I received neither. I think the missing...

Finally I will be replacing the ball joints on my 05-LJ and wondered if I have to open the Diff to get the axle out?

I am planning on replacing the ball joints and need (use this as an excuse to the wife) an impact wrench. I really like the electric compact models since they are so portable, but not their price. So I am looking at air and any recommendations. What is the ft/lbs needed to press the joints out...

With the wider tires installed I needed to adjust the steering stop bolts. Rather than just adding washers though I decided to replace them. I expected to find metric but to my suprise they were 9/16 head, 3/8 - 24 threads. Anyone else have or notice this?

As the title asks, is there any value in keeping my old arms? I guess I could carry a couple on the trail just in case I bend one.

So - Tire Mfg'ers may place marks on a tire to aid in proper mounting of the tire to the wheel. A lone yellow mark should be mounted to align with the valve stem and a lone red mark should be mounted to align with the wheel's mark if present and if not with the valve stem. If both are present...

Hey - wondering if you can route the low pressure line throught the radiator's AT port for cooling since I have a MT? Or is it too hot.

Just put on a new set of tires and was wondering if you had a preference on rim weights or taped weights to balance the wheel/tire?

So as the title says DW appears to finally be gone and Blue got a new set of shoes. Caught Falken Wildpeak A/T's (32x11.5x15) on sale for 131.00 at Discount. They fit the 2.5 OME lift nicely. "It's dead sexy baby, yeah"

Well it's finally finished. Got all 8 arms swaped. Took 2 wks cause of a trip in the middle and crappy weather. Everything went pretty much as expected but the upper left bushing was a real pain. Wound up drilling out much of the rubber and collapsing the casing just to get it out. Pressed it in...

Hey - I am replacing the lower CA's and wanted to know if there were any precautions needed in dealing with the Cam Bolts?

So I am getting around to replacing my CA's (05 LJ) and was looking at the FSM and noticed that the front axle appears to have 5 arms; 2 lowers and 3 uppers. Replacement kits I have seen include 8 arms but that leaves me one short which begs the question. Is the pumpkin arm usually not...

I have been wondering what, if any, advantage the half doors have over a full door. My 05 has both tops and while the half doors look way cool, is there a practical advantage to getting a set.

Ok so I found out the track bar bushing was not the correct one and a new TB is in hand. But I discovered the stock TB wheel bolt (a M10) is, at least to me, a bit too small. I just thought it would be snug once inserted in the bushing. Has anyone else noticed this? Is it normal to have a...
