    Front drive shaft gone?

    I've known that replacing the front drive shaft is highly recommended after a lift. I did install the exhaust spacers, but I think it's time for a new one. What say you?

    Toe adjustment

    While trying to figure out the wobble on our Jeep, we had several shops look at and try to diagnose the issue. One buddy who has an alignment shop noticed the toe was a little too far out, so we adjusted them in a bit. I finally had time to install the Crown ball joints, and knew immediately...

    Oil leak

    Oil leak! The leak on our 98 XJ has been getting consistently worse. Saturday the starter went out, during the repair I could see the oil was coming from the oil filter adapter. I replaced the 3 o rings, which I got from Mopar, and the leak is now worse. Also, after replacing the o rings, the...

    Really?

    I call BS. 85° cooler and at least 25 HP. But then he probably thinks those lights help wheeling better than lockers too.

    Ball Joints, to knurl or not to knurl?

    I need new ball joints, but because I want to upgrade to a PR44 I don't want to spend the money on Dynatrac ball joints. Synergy, Alloy USA, and Moog Problem Solvers are all in about the same price range, and I assume much better than stock. But something came up in looking at ball joints. This...

    Old subject. Wheeling with no spare.

    I attended the winter Jeep outing in southern Utah over the weekend. My observation of Jeeps carrying spare tires was this: On the mild to moderate trails almost all Jeeps had spares. On the more extreme trails the vast majority didn't. On the extreme trails, I observed several guys dumping...

    Currie Carbon

    The Currie Carbon has what look like Johnny joints installed on the upper CA mounts. I haven't noticed this on the PR44. Is this good, bad or irrelevant?

    Anyone towing with a 1/2 ton?

    It isn't if you can tow it, it's if you can stop it. Maybe my response should be in the "pet peeves" thread. I've always owned 3/4 ton diesels for all my towing. I get that for our Jeeps, and some of the lite RV trailers available now, a 1/2 ton truck can manage just fine. But I live above SLC...

    Rear brake line relocation

    Over the weekend a friend recommended I purchase a rear brake line relocation kit. To relocate the brake line to the inside of the frame. According to him, because the brake line is on the outside of the frame, at full stuff and articulating, the rear tire will rip the brake line away from the...

    Bashing Teraflex

    From my own personal experience, and from threads I've read on this forum, I've never liked Teraflex. I've spent more energy than I should have bashing them on local Jeep sites. Because the sites are private Facebook groups, everyone knows my name, and some members are employees of Teraflex. So...

    Do I need an adjustable track bar?

    Please ignore the RC dual SS. I put that on prior to joining this site. A few weeks ago I removed the relocation brackets and installed adjustable CAs. I've always noticed the front tires sat over to the passenger side too far. While finishing up the CAs I took the time to actually measure how...

    As a family we've had a lot of fun with this picture. My son and his home coming date. Thought it would be fun to see some captions from you all. Or upload a picture and we can add some captions.
