    CB Antenna Mounting - Grounded?

    So I'm about to mount my antenna this weekend and I'm planning to put it on the swing out tire carrier. My questions are: 1. Does the antenna itself need to be grounded? I believe it does....I could be wrong though. 2. The swing out tire carrier is connected to the bumper via a large hinge...

    U-Bolt Conversion - Dana 44

    Has anyone done the cheap U-bolt/yoke conversion? You can buy a complete replacement U-bolt style yoke for $80 or I've heard of people just drilling out the stock yoke and sliding the u-bolt style strap through it. What I've read so far is that it works on 30's and 35's, but not on the 44. A...

    Catalytic Converter Question

    I'm installing a long arm kit and have run into some trouble trying to get the skid plate and cat to fit. I've laid under the Jeep for most of the day and I think the best/easiest option is to just cut the pipe before the cat and move it forward a few inches. My concern is this: Will the cat...

    Rock Krawler 5.5 in. Triple Threat Long Arm

    Long time no post......I broke my Jeep this weekend and figured now's a good time to upgrade the suspension a little. I'm currently running a 4" Skyjacker (double flex/short arm). It was nice at first, but I've seen the error of my ways and decided that a long arm kit is the only way to go...

    Transfer Case Shift Linkage Upgrade

    Last year on the Rubicon I broke the linkage off the tub and had to crawl under the Jeep to shift it. So I just bought the Advance Adapters bracket to correct the shitty DC design. Have any of you done this yet? What's your opinion? Stand aloneJeep TJ transfer case shifter bracket | Advance...

    Used lift kit

    Just out of curiosity, would anyone here be interested in a used Skyjacker 4", double flex, short arm lift kit for a TJ? I'm not ready to sell it yet, but it won't be long. I've decided to upgrade to a RE long arm system. The Skyjacker kit is awesome, but not enough for the trails I'm doing now.

    Head Rebuild - Mystery bolt ID

    So I put a new head on my 2001 TJ, 4.0 this weekend and I have a mystery threaded hole on the rear of the new head that does not exist on the original. Can someone please help me identify it? I've attached a picture of one I found online with something in that hole, but I don't know what it is...

    Swamp Lake/Dusy Ershim - Summer 2012

    Is anyone interested in doing a Swamp Lake or Dusy trip this summer? I've been trying to go for the last 3 years, but life has got in the way every time. Let's get something together! I've done the Rubicon for the last two summers with the NorCal Broncos group. I'm tired of being the only...

    Valve Adjustment - 4.0l

    I'm getting ready to put my new cylinder head back on this weekend......Has anyone done valve adjustment? I've got a Haynes manual and I'm going to Google the hell out of it. I'm just looking for tips or tricks.....basically, I need a little peace of mind.

    2001 4.0l Cylinder Head (0331) Cracked

    My Jeep is an '01 TJ, 4.0 so this thread may belong in that forum, but since the 4.0l is pretty much the same throughout the years, I'm posting here. Jeep just overheated the other day on the way home from work (3-4miles). Turned on the heater and temp immediately dropped to normal driving...

    Expensive weekend

    So I towed my RV down the road a few hours to camp for the weekend. I actually had to work most of the weekend, but I planned to have the wife and kid meet me Sunday after work and we'd hang out for a while at the beach. Anyway, I'm cruising around Friday after work in my '03 Silverado and it...

    Homemade Roof Rack - Building opinions

    So I've been thinking about building my own roll bar mounted roof rack. Aside from all the obvious concerns (i.e. weight distro, high CG....), are there any concerns about using square or round tubing without bending the corners? To clarify, I don't have a tube bender and I'm just curious if...

    2001 TJ ignition

    Has anyone had to replace ignition switch actuator rod? DC wants to replace the whole column for $1200. I say BS to that. I've found a few books, but you have to pay for them and I want to make sure it can be done before I waste the $$$.

    4.0l with a stuck lifter.....

    Has anyone ever had this problem? At first I thought the knocking noise was a blown exhaust gasket. However, I replaced that and it was still making the noise. I did a search for it and found a few Youtube videos with very similar sounds and the majority of the replies were saying it was a...

    Chevy Camaro/Corvette Rally Wheels (15"x7")

    I know they're not typical 4x4 items, but I thought some of you may be interested, or maybe know someone that might like them. Personally, I think they'd look good on anything, and if my Jeep had the same bolt pattern I would've already used them. Chevy Rally Wheels

    Exhausting Struggle!!!!!!

    Ok....So I replaced my stock header with a Borla a few years ago. When I first installed it, I wasn't able to get all four collector bolts tightened. To be exact, I was only able to tighten three of them. The fourth was a pain in the ass and I just got it tight enough to not fall off. Well...

    Rubicon Trail 24-27th June

    Finally got to run the Rubicon trail. It was pretty hard in a few places, but I was able to muscle through. I went with the Nor-Cal Broncos group. I'll definitely be doing this trail again.
