    I bought fenders to upgrade and ran into trouble removing the old ones. How do I get the Screwserts out now that they are mended together from rust? I cut the fenders off to have better access but ended up stripping them, any suggestions?

    Has anyone had to put new gears in the rear axle?

    Had a crazy whine in the rear end and with 160k plus miles I assumed it was due for bearings. When the ring and pinion came out it was obvious theY were shot along with the spider gears. Not planning a lift so my plan is to just replace the Dana 35-373 gears. When they showed up the ring gear is...

    Hey everyone, so I bought a 2002 Wrangler X about a month ago. And let’s just say it’s already been a ride. *pun intended*.
