Check out Ruffstuff option. Affordable, simple, strong.

Hoping to swap out my D30.

I adjusted my parking brake, and removed brake rotors in the process. Noticed oil down inside at what looks like where the axle tube ends. Sorry not a mechanic by any means, so torturing this description. Is this normal or is there some type of axle seal on the end that is leaking? Didn't...

Anyone have a good suggestion for a 4 door? Wonder if there is something out there that requires minimal teardown of the interior and also does not intrude into the passenger area too much? Thanks!

Looking for a little advice here please. Had C--Gussets installed at a local 4x4 shop. Photos attached. Maybe someone can tell me if they are welded in correctly. These show how they are welded across the top and at the bottom, but nothing along the sides. Maybe it's correct, but I was...

I am running Yakima crossbars and a Thule Force XL rooftop cargo box. The box is huge and we fill it heavy. Added a 3rd crossbar in the middle being overly cautious. Haven't had any problems. Works great.

Any advice on replacing factory wheelstuds on stock Dana 44? Have stripped or flattened off the threads. Remedied by rethreading them up until now, but was curious if it's worthwhile to replace with new ones that are harder material, and if so, best resource for the replacements. The concern...

From reading a bunch of posts, I feel ok about the 2.4L engine noise. I am still not sure about the rough idle while stopped with the vehicle in D. The vibration is pretty strong, and it levels off when put in N or P. I took a short video of the engine while in N, and then in D, and there is...

So there were 3 problems. First, the filter housing was cracked; Second, the oil pan had a leak at the seal; Third, if you look at the diagram (generously posted by another member), part number 10, the piece above the oil pan also had a leak where it attaches to the bottom of the motor. 3...

Body Armor. Affordable; bolt on; strong. Probably China made, but they work and Im not rich.

2012 JKU towing about 3500 lbs with an equalizing hitch. Works perfect.

Ocotillo, Fish Creek Wash.

Thanks for the forum. I know it is a ton of work to maintain. Great to see all the common issues and its an incredible resource. I have a 2012 JKU Sport; Desert Tan, 3.5" Teraflex Coils, front adjustable LCAs, front adjustable trackbar, rear trackbar bracket, 33's, Coast front driveshaft...

Selling a brand new OEM replacement driveshaft for 2012 and up automatic. Had it replaced under warranty and decided to get a Coastal replacement. Been in use for 5 days. I can arrange freight, but you pay.
