I'm in Columbia, SC and need an easy welding job for a trailer I'm working on. It's a basic Lowe's trailer I got cheap new and have built up a bit for my uses. My local welder has always done me right, but for some reason quoted me an outrageous price on this job. Maybe a bad day for him...

Hey Fam :woohoo: I'm reevaluating my front suspension, as in correcting sagging springs, adjustable arms and adding drop brackets. Not interested in long arms for my needs, thanks though. Originally I installed Rusty's 3" coils and a RE 3/4" spacer, which netted me exactly 4" on the...

Time to install a fan time on the 2000 for the heat soak issue. It has been flaring up a lot lately, even with DEI fuel wrap kit and a LeBaron hood vent. There are many, many write ups, I'm reading through them now, but my wiring knowledge on this is testing me. I'm wanting to use a similar...

it's a jeep thing, right?? I only found one other thread while searching, which wasn't updated, so I'll try to update this one if I can solve the issue. 2000 XJ, 4.0L AW4 with Pioneer head unit and Crutchfield plug in adapters, Kicker comps with adapters in doors. Stock wiring otherwise...

So I'm in the process of changing the steering gear (again) and my bolt holes are enlarged! I torqued to spec, 70ft-lbs, but looks like the washers pulled inside the frame rail - thanks JCR for the washers (not) I had a 3/16 plate made to match my JCR spacer for the box. Think this is enough to...

Hey guys! replaced my heater core over last weekend, and just got around to putting the battery in and cranking to burp the coolant and recharge my AC. Now my airbag light is on when the Jeep is running. :smsoap: I did not pull the steering column, only dropped it onto the driver's seat...

So my '00 4.0L AW4 has decided it wants to boost the idle whenever I turn on the AC. https://youtu.be/xIsUWgS6x8M Before today, it has not done this. Nice and steady idle, just a little blip when the compressor clicks on. I noticed when I put it park that my rpms were at 1000, and the...

Don't want to start a "trash this company" thread, just want advice. :angel: Last year I changed around my lift, and have settled on a nice set up for me. I'm using Rusty's standard 3" coils, 3/4" RE spacers, RC Adj track bar, and currently stock arms up front (IROs in the shed). Rear are...

So my old 212k mile stock steering box has been leaking at the input seal for a while now. I though about just replacing the seal, or a Durango upgrade, but went ahead and swapped on a stock replacement reman'd unit from Autozone. Install went smooth; broke the 2nd bolt off in the spacer (spacer...

So I'm at the Uwharrie Forest jamboree, getting ready to go on the night scavenger hunt with my girl. She asked how to tell the different types of Jeeps apart, so I was filling her in on the differences. Then she let this one rip: "What's a difference between a TJ and a JK?" Without giving...

NAXJA Frame side video: https://youtu.be/ADEpS_FTNLI Axle side video: https://youtu.be/rKGirFsAtpk I've got some wandering at highway speed (castor is off, which I know contributes) and shimmy just shy of 50mph. I took these videos and it looks like I have some axle side to side movement. The...

Hey guys, need some help on my CB set up. I've installed everything a while back, but never used it bc I had a nice handheld for our groups close-driving trips. Now i'm getting ready to head out on trips where we will be a mile or two away from base/friends at any given time. Running a Midland...

Today I had my fog lights (2000 4.0L) working with no key in the ignition. I didn't think they worked this way; it should be an ignition hot circuit correct? I can turn on the headlights (no key in ignition), flick the fog lights switch, and they work just like the Jeep was running. Even cut...

I know i'm being a little picky, but my rear wiper blade is not making contact over the entire rear window surface. Replaced the wiper blade, no change. Different brand blade, no change. All have been conventional blades. I just ordered a 13" beam blade (like my 18" fronts) to try out. Would...

I just had my steering alignment done and a bad frame side track bar tie rod end (warrantied) replaced at the shop. The new Rough Country track bar; I can't afford the IRO right now, so don't judge. The track bar also hits my stock diff cover under flex, FYI. Had some nasty wobble on the drive...

Just got a new lift installed - rides great, and loving it. Except some work the shop did; it's in the details. Went from a 2" BB to a 3.5" hybrid OME spring lift with SYE kit. 1) SYE is leaking BADLY from the yoke seal. No mention of a leak when I drove off, now everything from the yoke back...

It's time for new shoes for the DD, and I'm going to kick it up a notch. Currently I'm running 235/75-15s (stock rims) with 2.5" lift and I'm moving up to 16x8s. Tire size will be 255/70-16 (30.5x10-16 approx) and the "recommended" backspacing by my shop is 4.75" (with +10mm offset) Now that's...

I need some expert help. The gf has a roar coming from the rear end on her 99 WJ - I'd like help her out and see if it's as bad as she has been told. "Shop" says that she needs a completely new rear (hers look amazing to me :laugh: haha...) but I don't think so. It's a Dana44 with 3.73 the...

I've finally broken down, and got my SYE. The vibes won. From my initial measurements I need a running length of 34" and want to use a junkyard shaft. From the tables I've found, I see some ZJs have ones that are 33" and 33.5". Would these work? For some reason this is giving me a headache...

Yes...you read that correctly. So my Dad caved and bought mom an '06 TJ. She's been wanting one and Dad needed a toy too. We're putting 31s on it and a 2" budget lift, and she wants "those loud tires." :eek: Did my MOM just say that?! I run General Grabber AT2s on the street and a worn set...
