    Long arm DIY build questions

    Yo jeep fam! Well, as the title suggests I'm building some long arms.. I currently have mid arms but they need to be longer, so if I'm gonna invest the time and effort might as well go LA is my thought SO, I'm starting with the dirt bound center section and will be running either 2x2 square ¼...

    Looking for NoCo jeep friend with a bender?

    As the title suggests, I need a bud with a bender! Lol, but seriously I am in need of just 8 90*s bent for a roof rack. Id like to avoid the hassle of welding emt and the fun that galvanized gas produces. Not to mention still needing to bend 90s and the thin wall less forgiving with the good...

    4 hole neon injector thread (again)

    First off sorry if this is in the wrong place I'll be posting a link to the old thread I found in oem tech, but since it is indeed not stock I figured here is better. So, I'd like to upgrade my injectors. Bosch reman sounds like the ticket over some Amazon China special for 35 bucks.. yes all...

    WJ brakes overhaul questions

    Yo JeepFam! As the title suggests Im overhauling my dubJ brake conversion. First and foremost I ordered some powerstop powder coated Akebonos to replace my Teeves. So far so good, they fit fine without having to change to 16" rims- id have ground the caliper before doing that anyhow, but they...

    Upgraded tune up time

    I searched and searched and I think I put together a pretty choice set up for a quick "tune up", at least as far as spark is concerned. Plugs seem to be highly debated, a lot of folks favor Champion truck plugs and/ or NGK., autolights a runner up. Gimmicky plugs such as bosh iridium etc etc our...

    Ball joints bang for buck..

    This probably could have gone in another section, but I mostly stick to this section.. and I think it's relevant - unless I stick with OEM? Any reason not to? Not a DD, BUT riding 35s on a HP Dana 30 with dubJ knuckles. Looking for a balance of bang vs buck. Been reading a bit and damn there...

    Tube bender input

    Yo Jeep fam! I'm finally looking at bending tube for an internal roll cage, tube fenders, and roof rack. Looking for value... it won't be used a whole lot more than just my jeep and a maybe a side project or 2- so doesn't need to be a custom 4x4 shop type of durability or what not. Looking at...

    Aftermarket fender flare delete?

    Yo Jeep Peeps... I'm just not in love with the fender flares on my jeep. Might be bushwacker or a cheaper copy of them. Previous owner put em on... ditching the fronts is easy, I can just trim above the holes that are left over. But the rears? Bolts through the doors and pretty high into the...

    Rear end bastard pack rebuild? FML

    Front end shenanigans aside... I’m on to the rear. Ford 9”, unknown lift 35s 4.57 Detroit locked center section. What started out as as a “simple” axle shaft seal replacement has mutated into full rear end overhaul... New seals and axle bearings of course. New pinion seal? sure New...

    Ford 9" seals

    Hey guys... Finally got the front axle about done, just deciding on shock length.. Figured might as well do the rear seals while im at it and have fresh seals all around. Ive helped a friend do a set years ago on his ford 9".. . Where we had a press.. That i dont have now. So, can it be...

    Bilstein shocks... whatchya gonna runnin??

    Bilstein shocks... whatchya runnin?? As the title suggests... just trying to get a feel for what people use on lofted xjs. About my rig: lift is probably close to about 5.5” with mid arms upfront. Rock krawler spring I’m guessing as that’s who made the Adj arms initially. They were solid dom...

    Axle truss... Weld to diff or nah?

    Axle truss... Weld to differential housing or nah? Heres my dilemma, Ive done my research and was all set to burn the truss to the pumpkin... Torch for pre and post heat, fiberglass welders blanket, mover blankets, and digital temp gun. And then the ocd.... My truss is of the Rustys flavor...

    Bumpstopage

    Ya, I know how to search... but what’s the point in looking at a thread from 2009??? (Sorry Cal) but new products hit the market everyday, and well just wondering what’s out there? Back story: My XJ probably has about 6”s of lift.. previous owner ditched the stock bump stops entirely so I need...

    1997 inner axle seals

    I’m seeing maaaany different things on the interweb. For instance, a pass and a driver side that look different- it was same part on my ZJ. Yes I’m looking at non disco. Autozone shows a mixed bag... and oddly the seal they have is for 88-96.. like what magically changed in 97 on the decades old...

    Aftermarket Dana 30 cover...

    I got the axle pulled and am doing everything else to the damn thing so might as well go for this easy upgrade... my question is- is there a good, strong, cover that doesn’t sacrifice extra clearance for the tie rod? I’m running dubJ knuckles and had to clearance my coil spring perches and sway...

    Learning to FCAW

    Welp, as the title suggests... it ain’t rocket science! LOL but it’s different then my last setup... unfortunately I had to sell my Lincoln power mig in order to move to CO... but alas I picked up this little hottie from a pawn shop. Nothing fancy, mind you- but it’ll work for now. It’s a harbor...

    Welding temps...

    Silly question probably, but I want to do it right do it once... I moved to CO from NM where we had verrry mild winters, if you could even call them that. Now I’m getting snow in April and have to think about things I never had to deal with. Not just shoveling snow LOL but coooold temps in the...

    Ball joint- ya or nah?

    Soooo long story short- I have the front axle out doing lower ca mounts amount other things.. ball joints likely need to be done, and I don’t want to half ass the rehabilitation I’m putting into it. SO the question is, are the ball joints HARDER to do with the axle out of the vehicle? Last time...

    Nightmare midarm 3 link rehabilitation

    Just like the title suggests I’m “fixing” the mid arms that was done by the previous owner... painted over rust- didn’t end well, seized to the bolt frame side bushings and heim joints- and what prompted the overhaul: ripped the axle mount off the driver side lower CA. FUN! The collateral damage...

    Hey guys... I finally got my both of my front doors removable... In the process of unplugging the wire connections for the door in the front passenger footer, I found these 2 guys with out a home. Anyone able to tell what they are for? Power windows might be one- dont have those... Cant begin...
