    Improving 42RLE rear driveshaft angles by removing / modifying the transfer case adapter?

    So as the title implies, is it possible to remove/modify that adapter plate or even the 43rle output shaft to mount NP231 closer to the front of the car? Got this idea when i was rebuilding the NP231 while doing the SYE, that adapter seems kind of huge and mostly filled with empty space.....i...

    Driveline chirps - any suggestions?

    I am experiencing driveline "chirps" consistently in my TJ. They are clearly linked to driveline RPMs and not engine RPMs. The sounds appear to be coming from front, passenger side. Any suggestions on what this may be or how to diagnose? Thanks in advance! - Muddy

    3” Teraflex lift front drive line issues

    So I spent the past few days installing my Teraflex 3” lift kit. Didn’t finish because rust seized up 3/4 bolts in the upper rear shock mounts (absolutely destroyed those). The kit came with springs, shocks, sway bar end links, and transfer case skid plate spacers. I thought the spacers would be...

    Vibration at 50 mph

    I am new here and to my Rubicon. 06 no lift, tires have been balanced twice, no slop in u joints or anywhere else I can find. Vibration starts at 50 and gets worse the faster I go. I have read through a mind numbing number of posts about this, but all of them pertain to lifted TJs. Mine is stock...

    Noises in 4 Lo

    Got to play a bit this past weekend up at AoP in TN. My Jeep has always made a lot of noise in 4LO, when the drive line is loaded up and I need to hit the clutch to keep from stalling. Its a clattering type noise identical to these two videos below: Broken Arrow - Sedona AZyoutube.com...

    What kind of lube should I use for my u-joints?

    Shortly after I had installed my Tom Wood front drive shaft, I came across an on-line forum thread that was started by a friend of mine. It dealt with his front CV drive shaft rebuild. Somewhere along the line, the discussion got around to u-joint grease and what was appropriate for the...

    Front Driveshaft Overhaul

    I had finished up a week in Moab, wheelin' with some friends, and I noticed that the front drive shaft was squeaking. It was not constant, but rather an on again, off again kind of thing. After getting home, I decided it was time to pull the drive shaft and take a look. I had not felt any...

    Caster angle off on one side?

    After my suspension install the steering wheel returns to center just fine, and aside from my vibration (yet to be identified) the Jeep drives perfect. I was measuring my caster angles today just to check, and the drivers side is 9 degrees, while the passenger side is 6 degrees. I measured them...

    U-Joint Replacement

    I had picked up a set of D-30 inner and outer axle shafts from a friend in California when we wheeled the Rubicon together. Having gone to 35" tires during my last lift, I thought it would be prudent to carry a set, "just in case". It seems that when an axle u-joint goes, it often times takes...

    Front driveshaft angle

    I'm installing my Currie 4" lift. In the process of doing so I need to adjust my pinion angles. I know what the rear angle is supposed to look like with the Tom Wood double cardan driveshaft I'll be installing. However, I am wondering if anyone has a photo of what my stock front driveshaft...
