    Convert a Dana 30 front to a Dana 44 pumpkin with some welding?

    If this has already been discussed and I've just failed to find the post I'd love a link. So, Dana 44 front axles are actually quite affordable in the US especially considering their rarity (im just looking at ebay as a reference) but shipping to the UAE where I live is kind of expensive, at least...

    Axles offset to driver's side

    I just got a 99 wrangler all stock except it's sitting on 31s with 15x8 rims, so the wheels stick out from the flares a bit. Since they stick out it wasn't until some time later i noticed the front axle is offset to the driver's side by maybe an inch. I noticed the lower control arm mount on the...

    1997 TJ 4.0 front end rattle after steering upgrades

    My brother and I purchased the jeep back in early 2020, the owner before us did some modifications but many have stopped working and/or caused other systems to falter. We've been hearing a loud ticking noise in the front axle , we replaced the drivers side u joint (which was broken) but the...

    Is this outer axle bent?

    I am replacing u joints and I can't fit the new spicer 5-760x into the outer axle shaft (stub?) I thought it was because the caps didn't come off like I've seen in youtube videos, but I was able to get one of those off and it still won't fit. Looking at it, it looks bent. When I measure the...

    What is this called?

    What’s up TJ fans! Newbie here….I was looking over my sons 1997 TJ this afternoon and found this “arm” or “bar” to be broke. What the heck is it? I can’t find it in any diagrams.

    Wear on collar of u-joint ears

    Today I noticed some unusual wear on my driver side hub. The u joint seems to be running on the collar during turns I thinking. I haven’t ripped anything apart...Yet, but I’m wondering if it’s simply a u joint issue or something more. I have been rolling around without a front drive shaft for a...

    New to all things jeep

    Hey everyone. I bought a 1998 Wrangler SE two days ago and this is the first jeep I have ever owned. I got it for a pretty decent price in my opinion but it definitely has work that needs to be done to it. I don't know how active this forum is, but I would love any help people are willing to...

    Front Axle Universals

    Today I put new calipers and discs on my 97 TJ SE, all went well until I got to the passenger side. As I was finishing up I leaned down and took a good look at the universal. I should have seen this earlier, it was not in good shape. So, I'm going to go back in, do both sides and probably do the...
