    Why is my ARB twin compressor repeatedly tripping a 150 amp breaker?

    ARB twin mounted inside the Jeep. I have a dedicated pair of 4 gauge wires feeding a terminal block located in the back of the Jeep and the ARB is using that block for power with the ARB harness with a pair of 40 amp fuses. The positive side of the 4 ga. wires has the 150 amp breaker located...

    Some days you just shouldn’t wheel...

    Went out with some friends today and 4 other Jeeps joined us. This poor fellow broke a rear Dana 35 shaft on a rock ledge when he started to hop then about 2 mins later while winching over the ledge in front wheel drive blew the front R&P when he once again started to hop. I helped cut a log and...

    For you anti-snorkel guys, especially Jerry B😀

    So you installed a snorkel to get the nice, clean fresh air? Heres my air filter after about 13-14k miles of running the ARB snorkel. While I do drive dirt roads occasionally, I’d bet money the filter and box would be much cleaner with the stock intake I think this should put an end to the...

    Hard top paint peeling

    I have two TJ’s and both have an issue with the paint peeling on the hard tops. The black flakes off to expose a bright white base underneath. No issues on the two TJ’s I’ve owned prior to these two. Anybody else have paint peeling issues?

    Would anybody south of the border be interested in buying a Canadian LJ Rubicon?

    Just a random thought at this point but if I were to sell my LJR currently in Canada would there be any point in advertising it south of the border? Guys up here buy vehicles down there and import them to Canada all the time but curious if you guys do the same.

    I’m looking for a tail housing from a TJ 241J or 241OR. Anybody have a damaged case sitting around? I know when they decide to explode the damage is usually contained to the front half of the case.

    Looking for a good rear spring perch relocation write-ups

    I know I saw a very detailed write-up about how to relocate the rear upper spring perches to compensate for rotating the pinion up. I’ve spent the last half hour looking but haven’t come up with a detailed post, anybody know of any?

    Since you guys were so awesome with my re-gear, now I have the other axle gear pattern

    First off thanks for everybody's help with reading the gear pattern of my front axle. Now I have the rear 44 with stock Rubicon locker regeared and a couple of pics of the gear pattern for your opinion. Backlash is .006 I think i looks good but a set of more experienced eyes would be reassuring.

    Gear pattern check and backlash questions

    First time regearing and have a few questions. How do the patterns look? And when I measure backlash in 4 spots equally spaced around the ring gear I have the following: .007, .008, .0085 and .055 All within the .006-.010 spec but surprised how much they vary. Pinion preload is 10 in/lb without...

    That damn little pin at the back of a Rubicon transfer case

    That little pin decided it didn’t like staying in its home and went for a spin around the output shaft and poked a bunch of holes in the output housing. Anybody have a busted case kicking around? I need the output housing and part that the pin locates on the tail shaft.

    Engine oil unusually black

    So I change the oil in my 06 TJ 4.0L every 3,000 miles and for the last 1,000 or so before changing it is so black it looks like it has many, many more miles on it. Jeep sees mainly highway miles and not much idle time at all. I don’t remember any of my previous TJ’s turning the oil this dark...

    A little string to lock the tail gate

    A few people asked about this so I thought I’d show a few pics on how to lock the tailgate without having to use the key, just a tug on the string and the gate is locked. I first did this mod within a week of buying my first new TJ back in 2000 and on every TJ I’ve owned since. Pictures are...
