I'm going to upgrade to hydraulic assist steering sooner than later, but the steering box is holding me back and I need help if possible. Right now my wife drives our Jeep almost every day, she works less than a mile from home. Point is I can't have the Jeep down for a week. So the part I'm...

The bushing on the axle above the pumpkin is toast. It seems like when I put the upper arm on the bolt didn't want to go in right. I have a drop arm RE 5.5" lift. At ride height nothing is binding other than the bolt. Any known issues I should look at? All other bushings or heims have...

September 28th is national public lands day. NAXJA has an event set up and I strongly suggest you go if possible. However if you can't make that for some reason and need another option, Barstow is having a cleanup off Outlet Center drive (Barstow Main for you desert people). 7AM check in...

I'm sad I'm missing MOAB next month so I need a 4x4 trip. I've convinced my LA friends to drive my way and expierience Corral Canyon with me. I've never been there so I'm quite excited. The plan is to head there early Saturday morning and wheel all day. Depending on how long that takes and...

After 9 years of desert racing starting as a broke college kid (4 of those in a class 5 bug I built) I decided my wallet needed a break. However off-roading was still required! The solution was a TJ! Then after owning it for 4 months I realized I am way too big for that tiny thing...and the real...

After all 30 years of my life living in the South Bay (with a few years in Pomona for College) I am moving a little further south to the North County area in San Diego (specifically Rancho Bernardo). So, other than Ocotillo Wells and the desert area, what 4x4 trails should I get excited about...

I recently installed a Dana 30 with ARB and chromo axles. Took it to Big bear and had a blast. Jump underneath tonight and notice the lower caliper bolt on the passenger side is missing! No clue how long. Bought a new bolt, go to thread it in and the threads are so loose I can't really get it...

2001 XJ Sport 4.0 Auto 170,000 miles, generally maintained very well (other than the beating off-roading puts on it). I'm not sure this is a Jeep specific quesiton but here is my problem. Half the time my Jeep starts just fine. The other half, I have to put it in Neutral....in Park it...

2001 Dana 30 caliper to caliper. All stock mounts, ready to bolt in. 4:56 gears and Detroit Truetrac have about 10,000 miles. BTF 1/4" thick cover $450. Open to trades. I need long arms, Deavers, belly pan, gas tank skid, frame stiffeners, t-case skid, front and rear fox shocks, other???

Two problems. One, my dome lights decided to stay on. So I messed with the door sensors and in the process one came off and fell back into the door jam. How the hell do I get to it? Haynes is useless and I don't want to just start tearing panels off unless I know I can get to it. It's the...

I've been going to Ocotillo for over 10 years now, but I'd never made it to the new-ish 4x4 proving grounds (I just sold my class 5 car so I never had a reason to be there). Well we decided to put 120miles or so on the crawlers and make two trips to the 4x4 area. What a blast! It was already my...

Searching for a few hours this morning I only found posts that say the upper front coil mounts like to bend....and one of mine has. What I didn't find were options to fix it. Obviously one option is coilovers! Not in the budget right now, but a fun option. What are my other options? The...

My friend from Chico asked me to head up to the Rubicon last minute. Anyone else happen to be going up there Nov. 9-11? I've never been there but his group has a bunch. Anything I need to know going up in November? I'll post in the Sierra Chapter as well I guess but I'm driving my XJ there...

I have a 2001 XJ 4.0L Auto on 35" KM2's and 4.56 gears. It is my DD and I've never had an issue running around town. However the Jeep has stalled on my 5 times now but only when working really hard. Three times it was hot out and I was in stop and go traffic. The other two times were...
