    Catalytic Converter Guard - Stinky Fab Crossmember

    I had my catalytic converter stolen off my Toyota pickup a few months back. I thought it was no big deal until I recognized Colorado went to CARB requirements in 2021. This has now made replacing catalytic converters extremely expensive. With that...a guard was in order for my Jeep. I ordered...

    96 4.0L running at 180F after radiator replacement...want it higher.

    Hey everyone, My stock radiator finally broke at the upper plastic hose connection. Prior to breaking, it was running 210F pretty much no issues. It jumped up a bit in traffic, but never got to any worries of overheating. I just replaced the radiator with a Duralast unit (likely Spectra). I...

    UCA Axle end bushings - rubber popping out of sleeve

    Hey all....I'm aware there is information deep in the abyss on this. I've found information...but not what I'm looking for. This place is dead compared to many years ago, so here's a new thread. Background - ~2 - 2.5" lift, Rubicon Express upper control arms, flex joint at the body. I'm keeping...

    8.25 gear pattern check - 2nd opinion

    Hey all, It's been 20 years since I've done a gear change....it's been a slow process this time. This (linked below) is the final assembly after fully torqueing and loctiting...which is always a bit different than test fits. Having 2nd thoughts...but also recognizing perfection isn't...

    Denver based 1 or 2 day trip - Easy to Moderate

    Who's up for a Denver, CO based trip for an easy to moderate trail mid to late November? I can take a day off work to do a weekday, or we can plan weekend camping with trails both days.

    Welding Gas Tank Echange - question

    Hey all, Just getting back into welding and making some skids for my jeep. Been quite a while since I've dealt with any gas suppliers. I had to get my old 60cf co2/argon tank filled on Friday. Before I knew it, I'm back in my garage noticing it's way smaller. They exchanged out with a 40cf...

    WTB: Stock track bar and mount

    Hoping for someone's old one for free, but willing to pay a bit if the TRE is still good. I'm looking to modify the stock track bar to be adjustable and have a flex joint instead of a TRE. I desire the stock bar design due to the pumpkin clearancing, and would like a backup in case my plan...

    Help with diagnosing rattling noise under light load

    I'll try to be as complete as possible. I feel it's all required to provide some input I bought a 1996 Jeep Cherokee I-6 AW4 NP231 with ~135,000 a few months back. Starting off....everything runs great, no stuttering, no rumbling, no shifting issues. It's all tight and doesn't feel...

    Bolts, gussets, fittings, etc. Out of cars, and selling leftovers as a lot.

    Lots of high end bolts, washers, weld on gussets and link brackets, air fittings, brass pressure fittings, and just a lot of other stuff. Lots of money in here, but it's random. This is a left over assortment after years of 4wd fabrication, classic car restores, and general workshop stuff. It's...

    Con-Ferr Porthole Roof Rack - $150

    Roof Rack that has been sitting around for way too long. Original Con-Ferr brand. Still has a pretty damn good finish. Has been kept indoors since I took it off back in...jeez...2008? I recall this being over $400 new (that's a recollection from a long time ago, and I could be way off), and...

    Hello from texas!

    What's up guys? Figured i'd take a minute and stop by and say hi. I miss this group for sure, always had a great time. It seems there are a lot of new names here, so sounds like everything's moving along nicely with new recruits and all. I left NJ after working on my jeep for...

    my front 3 link...in progress

    I have been posting a few build up pictures in my North Atlantic thread, but figured I'd post this and get some opinions and stuff. angled inwards to get rid of mis alignment This is about what I have now. I work really slowly, so don't expect any drastic changes each day. LCA's are...

    When do you say "good enough"

    I am not sure why I'm bringing this up, I guess it's just because I'm lazy. I'm doing my lower arms right now, and keep f'ing up to get them the exact same height. I've redone one side 3 times now, and for some reason I just can't get it any better each time around. I keep measuring off crap...

    RE drop brackets and CA's

    Posting this for the north atlantic crowd first: I've used these for a few years, and I'm selling them because I'm building my own front suspension now. I will split CA's from drop brackets, but the braces go with the drop brackets, not splitting them. I'm pretty sure I got all the supplied...
