I have a set of TSL Swampers that has been leaking for about a year. I always thought it was from too much crap around the bead, and didn't worry too much about it. but I ttried to fix them yesterday, and there is air coming out from a few cracks in each tire's sidewall. those cuts that you get...

I broke my fiberglass hatch and replaced it.. but the new one has an allignment issue-- its hitting one of the taillights, and its about an inch away from the other.. How do you align it? also.. Should I keep it? When I went to remove the rusty latch and put in my key cylinder I managed to...

So I just came into posession of a more than slightly used Hydraulic assembly complete with ram. It would be used to lift a plow if it were new, but its not. It stretches approx 24 inches, collapses to 14 or so. I have the technology, I just need an excuse/use to mount it. So I'm taking...

I installed a NP231 SYE from PORC, and haven't put it under the jeep since I would lose wheeling time while I measure and order the DS from Tom Woods. Have any of you done this mod? Do you remember the length? I run a D-44 in the rear of my 88 XJ Thanks in advance- -bc

So I was driving my trail jeep to work today (5" lift 33s welded 44 in rear) and noticed it is puling to the right. it also seems to be leaning to the right when I looked at it at the gas pumps. Last night I parked it on a hill also leaning right... Has anyone ever heard of springs sticking...

I went swimming in my Jeep and ruined the transmission... I am now replacing it with a junker's I need advise. I am trying to separate the transfer case first, but a couple of the bolts are hell to get to. Any advise? CAn you drop the cross member and lower the back of the engine without...

I am looking into a tranny swap on my 88. I was looking for some words of wisdom... I have a complete engine/tranny/transfer case sitting in the barn now that I was going to swap with. I planned on hoisting the old unit up, removing the Transfer case to make it lighter, then wrestling with the...

I've been looking into it I have my own opinions, but, I'd love an unofficial poll. What did you buy for a SYE? How much? How was the install (hours etc..)? Did it need a new driveshaft as well? How has it held up to trail use?

So I got it running this weekend.. I am getting a bit of gear whine on acceleration. none if its coasting / slowing down. This is new. Ita been sitting with ghosts in the engine all winter, so nothing new has happened on the gears since I ran it last. Here's the query: I live in VT obviously...

Please look at proposed House bill H-421 which seeks to limit access to "class IV" highways in the green mountain state. It would force Jeepers to obtain a town permit before conducting trail runs, and could close land because towns could not provide adequate emergency services to the length of...

So I was out wheeling the other day, and wound up in a brook. The water was over the hood, into the interior, etc... The gas tank never got wet. I winched it out, changed the oil about 6 times, tranny juice 2x. I'm still having difficulty keeping it running. It floods very easily, changed the...

I lost a pinion bearing (at just 45k miles) in a "99 XJ. It has the Chrysler 8.25 rear in it... Got it out OK, the bearing seized and spun on the pinion heating and scarring it quite efficiently. So the pinion is too damaged to re-use. :rattle: You can't buy just a pinion, so I just got in a...

Worth watching, and sharing. Icelandic website, german safety video.. lots of lessons to learn. www.hugi.is/hahradi/bigboxes.php?box_id=51208&f_id=1000 later look at the "playlist" on the middle left of the screen. They are all pretty funny, though you need to speak icelandic to understand...

3 questions, 1st.. I have a 99 that needs a brake job.. parts store says $150 for the rotors and pads, a buddy who runs a 97 front axle swears it should be more like $50 for the same. Anyone priced these recently? Am I getting ripped off? 2nd.. Having a hell of a time getting the rear drums...

I went Jeeping in Maine last weekend and smashed my drag link on the rocks.. it won't turn properly now (left, 1/3, right 2/3 of normal) We think its partially the ball joints, partally the wheel bearing. But the real question is how to re-build the drag link better. Are there any kits you've...

Anyone have a problem with the E-brake cable resting on the muffler? I don't know if its restricting my flex, but its definately cooking. :flame: I have not noticed a reduced hold power, but I worry.

I know its last-minute, but there is a 4X4 show up in Burlington VT this weekend... will anyone be attending? I'd love to see some of your rigs. Its one of those performance productions events.. You know, Bigfoot will be there, Mud drags, and the lot.. Last year a 89 XJ won the tough truck...

Ok, So I have completely screwed up a lug nut... :bawl: wasted it good. :gee: no hope of a wrench or socket ever getting a good grip (looks a bit like popcorn) Do any of you have an old school trick for removing it? Its locking on an aluminum Jeep rim that usually takes a hammer to remove...

OK, So I am now officially the squeaky jeep on the trail (much to my dismay) You can hear me bumping down the road a hundred yards away. I am running a 4.5" Rustys lift with drop shackles and coil spacers. the new shackles seem to be 1/2 the problem.. but no zerk fittings... the weak link stock...

OK, So I think I have a Dana 44 rearend that I scrapped off of a junker I bought for $200. Problem is that it's a bit rusty.. by "a bit" I mean really really, and by "rusty" i mean it rains under the vehicle when you hit it with a hammer. What is the best way of identifying an axle? How can I...
