    Carrier bearing and cup pitted. Next steps?

    Finally started to knock some things off my to-do list this weekend. Ball joints, inner axel seals and pinion seal. Ball joints replacement went well, but when I took the gear set out to get at the seals I noticed the driver side carrier bearing and cap were in bad shape. The only shims I see...

    Rear seat - Door hardware

    I sucked one of the rear seat clips up in the vacuum quite a while ago, and have been looking around for one for a while. No luck at Ace Hardware, or Amazon. Figured I’d just drill a hole in the rod and use a cotter pin but thought I’d ask if anyone has a source first. Also looking for a door...

    New hub not sliding onto new axle spline

    New Crown passenger front axle and new Timken hub bearing. The hub will engage and go on maybe a 1/2” but then stops. I used a rubber mallet but don’t want to get it jammed on there and not get it off. The old stub slides in no problem. Do I have a bad axle? Or is it normally tight? Had no...

    Help with Frankenstein rear fenders

    So, I bought my 97 TJ 4.0, a little over a year ago. First Jeep I’ve ever owned and knew very little of them before I bought it. The wife and I had lots of fun on the Harley for years, but it was getting too dangerous on the road for my liking, so I figured we could replace that fun with a Jeep...

    M151 Army Days

    Anyone remember working on these in the Army? I joined in 1982 as a 63W Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic and spent my fair share under one. I once rode shotgun in one from Grafenwöhr, to Baumholder Germany, in October, with no doors and no top, on the autobahn, zipped up in a sleeping bag. Driver too...

    SOLD 97 TJ Dana 30 / 35 Pair 3.07

    I have a set of axles from 97 TJ Sport, 3.07 gears. The 35 had a ring bolt back out and dinged up the cover. I didn't really see any other issues upon inspection, but I didn't tear into it. It had no noise or problems when I was driving it. No longer need these as I found a set of 4.10 axles...

    Vibration with axle swap, no lift change

    Newbie to Wranglers. 97 TJ, 4.0 5 speed. 32” tires. I have what I believe is a 2” lift in the front but stock in the rear, based on a 14” measurement in front and an 8” measurement in rear. I recently swapped out both front and rear axles with Dana 30 and Dana 35 axles with 4.11 gears. (old rear axle...

    Prepping for axle swap

    Hello, First time posting here, but I have been lurking since I bought my first ever Jeep back about 6 months ago. I have used the forum to do some repairs and PM… from the heater core (fun job), to alignment, to an under-hood lamp. While changing rear diff oil, I found a sheared off bolt that...
