Glad you got it fixed

Every answer you were ever seeking! Not to hi-jack the thread but don't buy WARN (Weak And Really Nasty) bumpers unless you plan to box the ends or never hit anything with them. Look at my front bumper (drivers side) set it down on a rock and not very hard and it twisted like a pretzel. I am...

RE 5.5" LA with 1.75" spacers in the front to level it out after all the "stuff" on the front and under the hood. Sitting on 35" BFG MT's, York OBA with a 2.5 gl tank under the hood, lots more has been done to it and more will happen this winter in the "off-season". It only has a little over...

If you have the FSM for the 03-04 TJ's it will tell you what it is, if you don't have the FSM PM me and I will see to it that you can find it. ~Curt

Front Back The XJ is in the middle of an engine swap, once it is done I will post a pic of it. ~Curt

question on jeep xj axle shafts The vibe is one that you would barley notice if you do not have a lift. If the top is off and the radio is up that would be enough of a distraction to not notice it if you have no lift. if you have a lift it will be pronounced and will drive you nuts trying to...

I posted this on the rubicon owners forums but thought I would put it here too. This might get a little long so I will apologize for it now. If you have had the TSB done on your Rubicon for a leaking transfer case you really need to read this. If you have vibes that you just can’t seem...

I did a lot of work trying to get ready for a run that would have happened early this summer. When Josh passed I kind of dropped it. He and I did a lot of work together on it. I would like to try to pick it up and do it again and get the ball rolling once again

Make sure you lube that muffler bearing and throw some of that gibson exahust fluid in the tail pipe while you are at it.

The Rubi didn't solve all of my problems. There were a bunch of things I had to do to her to get her prepped for the trails here and there are a bunch of problems with them. Speaking of which, I blew a u-joint on my axle last night and it took out the inner and outer shaft. poor design, 44 axle...

I hope I get one too. I bought a jeep this year.

I am in the same boat, lincon lock it. Save the $$ and run what ya brung! I couldn't resist either. :lol:

$500 for a set of 5 rims? Aren't the spacers like $120 each? Add shipping and the price may work out to be about the same or a little less. With new rims you can get the correct backspace and be all set. Aluminum rims don't survive here. If they did I would have kept the stock moab rims that...

cb radio and antenna tuning Take it apart and use good old rustoleum on it. If it is rusted already, get rid of the rust first by sanding it or use a wire wheel on a drill to get it good and cleaned up before you paint it. I have seen people color match them to thier jeeps here. :shock: ~Curt

Before you drop a bunch of cash on spacers look at the price on some new rims. I run rock-crawlers (black steel) that I can bang back round if need be and they are way cheaper than a set of spacers. I think for the price of one spacer you can get 2 rims and get the tires mounted and balanced to...

You really should think about this. 33"s on a D35 with a locker is asking for breakage if you are using stock axles. edit I didn't consider the spline count with my thoughts on the spares. ~Curt

I grease the pins of mine with a water-proof grease (same stuff I use on the ball joints) all of the rest of the moving parts get a light coat of WD-40 or PB-Blaster. The grease keeps water out of the holes the pins travel in and it seems to do a good job. I do this about every three months. I...

I have Dana 44's front and rear. I tried to put a Crane cover on the front and it hit the trackbar. I have a warn dif cover for the front now and I think it will clear the bar but I may have to cut it a little to get it to clear. I also stretched out my wheelbase when I put on the longarm lift...

Okay, for everyone that has one. How do you maintain your hi-lift? does it get WD-40? bacon grease once a year? Lets hear how we take care of the gear we expect to take care of us when we need it the most. ~Curt
