advice

Hey guys, so I wanted to upgrade my suspension (was thinking of the H&R + Rancho combo) but as I took a closer look I've now realized that that my rear upper coil spring mounts on both sides are pretty rusted. When I boutht the jeep a few years ago, the first thing I looked for was rust (thanks...

After 18 years and 32k or so miles, the original 4.0 rms decided to start leaking. Nothing wild, just a consistent drip after the motor had been running. I had a reputable 4x4 shop in the area replace the original rms with a Fel-Pro rms. Unfortunately this seal leaked as much as the original one...

So I'm looking to replace my suspension. I bought the jeep 2 years ago its a 97 (later year release) and pretty much stock. I don't think the suspension has ever been changed and it's in need of a refresh. I've done some digging around and I'm thinking about going with the Rancho shocks and...

My Tj's rear passenger coil spring is sagging pretty badly so I figure it's time I get new coil springs and just get all of them replaced since they all are probably worn and ready to retire. I use it on road as my daily driver and when needed I tow trailers of wood. so it's mostly used on road...

Just bought a 2001 TJ 4 cylinder. I don’t have much experience with cars but have wanted to get handier, was going to use it as an occasional driver and learn how to fix things up along the way. I took it for a pre-purchase inspection but the mechanic and I both missed that the entire emissions...

I purchased an 03 rubicon at a steal of a price, but it came with a 4-6" lift installed with 35's on it as well. Id like to ride lower to the ground. Is it worth buying another lift and replacing it? They took off the rear upper control arm mounts but use the factory lower mounts. I also have...

I have a 2001 TJ 4.0 with an NV3550. I had some normal nv grinding from 1-2 and then got worse on downshifting. Just recently it started to come out of third when decelerating so I took it to a shop and long story short I need a transmission and a clutch no surprise which they quoted me 4900...

I have a mostly stock 99 TJ Sahara (29 inch tires vs 28 stock and a Winch and steel bumpers... those are my only non stock items) with a Dana 30 in the Front and a Dana 35 in the rear. I am trying to decide if I should swap those out for Dana 44 or a Ford 8.8 or if I should just beef up my...

I’m in the market for a second car for quick trips to the beach and running errands around town. I came across a 2002 Wrangler Apex edition with 137k miles for $8k. The interior and exterior look clean from the pictures. However, the undercarriage has me concerned due to a bit of rusting (car is...

I’ll try to keep this light, pictures will be uploaded tomorrow during day light. Thank you in advance. I have a 2006 rubicon with the 4.0 inline 6 and a 6 speed manual. It only has 83k mileage. A couple months back, mistakes were made and I came a little too hot into a turn and made the...

Hello all, Absolutely hate that I have to make this post asking for suggestions on my Jeep. Bought it about 2 years ago, Jeep LJ 160k 4.0 automatic. Runs great and drives pretty well. There’s a shitty lift kit that I’m planning on upgrading at some point as well as plenty of other stuff...

My 2012 Jeep Wrangler stalls about 1/3 of the time when I come to a stop- like at a red light, stop sign, or when I am shifting to from drive to reverse or from reverse to drive. I have taken it to the local Jeep dealership where they had it for three weeks and could not get a code. They asked...

My 1998 TJ has some rust forming on the rocker panel as well as a little around the gas cap. I want to take care of these problematic areas before they really get bad. What is the best way to take care of these little rust areas and what are any good products to kill rust? Thanks very much!
