    Sleeve the output shaft?

    All you would do is replace the rear drive shaft, it will pull out of the transfer case when you un bolt it from the rear axle. Your output shaft is actually a male splined shaft and the part you see that needs "built up" is part of the drive shaft. You can replace just that part. When you say...

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    Theoretically more air flow. On my first wrangler for example even if I would warm the jeep before my drive I would still have frost on the inside of the soft top after a :30 minute drive. After installing one of those the heater was much more effective, as in nice and warm within :10 minutes...

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    This update isn't for anything really neat but thought I'd post anyway. I had one of those plastic scoops on my first wrangler and it really helped make the havc work much more effectively. Well the 97 is the only year for the 3 rows of vents and no one makes a cover anymore. I simply...

    What factory option or aftermarket part do you wish was available what isn't

    I stripped down model, maybe rubicon running gear but basic interior. No touch screen radio or delicate electronics maybe even a hose out interior. (Read really affordable, lol)

    I finished the install for now. I need to get a larger step drill and install the lock, but it's on and functional.

    Sputtering with Clunk Sound 97 TJ

    An easy way to check if that is the problem is to loosen the bolts where the down pipe connects to the manifold, when you have a gap if the jeep runs good again that will let you know if that is the issue.

    Sputtering with Clunk Sound 97 TJ

    Odd sounds are hard to diagnose from over the internet, but the sputtering and loss of power reminds me of the time I was setting along side the highway waiting for a tow in my tj lol. My issue winded up being a clogged cat converter. It was odd because it never tripped any check engine lights...

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    Thanks Terry. I'm pleased with how it's turning out. I don't think it would be too hard to adapt the tj/yj handle and latch to a cj tailgate tho. The main problem is people want a fortune for them. I seen one on a local craigslist for months at $30 I didn't buy it unfortunalty, when I started...

    The Cheap Wrangler Build...

    I've been working on an aluminum drop down tailgate for my wrangler. Normally I don't post till the project is done but I have a lot of pictures. I will be into this project about $40 total when done, it's a fraction of the cost of an after market tailgate. This is just some of the...

    Engine swap for '07 JK

    I was gearing my comment more towards the op as he's looking to do the modifying. I was just pointing out that some bolt ons may take him where he wants to go escpecially if he has a vague question of what engine to use for a swap.

    Engine swap for '07 JK

    It's not really a fair comparison between the the older 2.5 4 banger and the 4.0 inline six to the newer 3.8/3.6 v6 engines in how they respond to "tuners" etc. Jp magazine has several articles on this (FYI they are not fans of chips, etc... And realize they are a gimmick), it worth looking them...

    TJ doors are stuck!

    To start with the obvious did you remove the nuts that keep the doors from sliding off? Otherwise keep soaking the pins if you can find it use Kroil that stuff works 100 times better than pb blaster. Spray them every day for a week and keep working the doors (move them in an out as you lift). It...
