    Front axle seal leaking- can I run it low for awhile?

    So my third front axle seal is gone and made a nice puddle in my parking spot. It stopped dripping after a month, so I'm assuming the oil level is now down to the axle tube. Can I keep driving it or am I going F-up the axle? I got the seal and gear oil on hand (after a month wait), but I'm in...

    Eddie will probably shit on me, but here's the link.

    Nope, gravity does the job. Eddie will probably shit on me, but here's the link. I'm all about sharing information and helping jeepers. I don't get a penny. Just do 2, 2x4 stands instead of the 3. Good to go. Moved from here: https://wayalife.com/showthread.php/56594-Hard-Top-Storage

    Helping a friend- stock jeep to 33's- am I going down the right path?

    So a friend who've I've known since I was 5 (but been out of touch for 30 years), popped back on the social radar. He just bought his 15 year old (and himself) a 2016 JKU Sahara. It's a 6MT with 3.73 gears. We wants to run 33's and a 2" lift and not have to mess with anything else. I was...

    Anyone in Moab June 19-25 2019?

    My Virginia club is heading to Moab for those dates. We went 2 years ago and had a blast. Some of us have scattered to the wind, so we're coming in from Miami, Texas, Virginia, and some other places. Wanted to see if any WAL'ers are going to be around.

    Radiator drip- now what

    So I've been getting random pink antifreeze drip/drops on my garage floor. I checked all over and I'm getting a drip from the lower driver's side radiator tank. I did a search and of course I'm far from the only one. I'm out of warranty. Should I get a crown replacement or up the ante and...

    New CB: President McKinley SSB

    I upgraded from the compact Midland 1001lWX to a new President McKinley SSB CB radio. What a difference! https://president-electronics.us/CB-Radios-Ham-Radios/AM-SSB-transceivers/MC-KINLEY-USA The Midland is a solid little compact radio with NOAA channels. The President allows for upper and...

    Factor 55 flat link expert- check your shackles!

    I avoided disaster by checking my 4 shackles with the factor 55 flat link "E" that I've had for a couple of years. Guess what, they're too big to fit through. It turns out the made in the USA Crosby shackles fit through because they are thinner. I'm assuming they're made from better steel.

    I'm going back to the EVO hinged carrier over the body mounted.

    I know, I'm crazy. After a year with the body mounted carrier and using my jeep as a daily driver, camper/boat hauler, and cub scout camping mobile I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy another EVO hinged carrier. (I sold my old one for $450, dumb). I have to run a 13" long trailer hitch stinger...

    Revolution Front axle shafts, inner seals, and pro steer ball joints aftermath report

    I just wrapped up a 9 hour work day putting in Revolution chromoly front axle shafts, new inner seals, and dynatrac prosteer ball joints. Everything came apart pretty easily. Had to drop the PSC steering ram, drag link, and tie rod. Pull caliper brackets and rotors. 35mm socket for axle...

    Got my revolution front shafts ready to go in- paint the exposed parts first?

    I finally got done putting the u joints together. For $900 I was hoping they'd assemble them! The full c-clips are a pain, but it's all together. Now, should I squirt the u joint and parts that will be exposed with some flat back before installing? I can't tell if the shafts are bare steel...

    Best chromoly front axle shafts for rubicon D44?

    Since I'm replacing my inner seals, I want to upgrade the shafts as well. I have revolution rears and happy with them, so I was thinking about using them for the fronts. Looks like factory direct for $899 is the option there. Or what about ten, g2, etc? I was going to do RCV's like some my...

    Lost a front axle seal- now what.

    I lost my passenger front axle seal, she's dripping gear lube and making a daily puddle. I did some research and the diff and axles have to come out. Can I pop the carrier out myself and put it all back without re-setting it all up again? Or does backlash have to be redone? Do I need a diff...

    Who was in the Florida Keys May 22nd with a "WAYALIFE" windshield sticker?

    Who was in the Florida Keys APRIL 22nd with a "WAYALIFE" windshield sticker? Black jeep, WAYALIFE windshield banner, southbound on US-1, and no "jeep wave" back. :sigh:

    Purejeep. Not responding?

    I ordered a bolt on winch guard 2 weeks ago. No order status. No replies to emails. Thankfully, no charge to my credit card. But dang, wonder if they're still in business?

    Our member jku007fl trash talking on JKO

    Rock hard sport bar without dash bar?

    I installed the cage in prep for my fall Moab trip but I’m not getting used to the dash bar in my view. My seat used to be 2 pumps up from bottom, but now it’s jacked up 8 or more. I miss the awesome view of my 10th anniversary hood too. It’s fairly easy to remove and I figure I can put it...

    Upgraded PSC steering lines

    Today's project was to fix my leaks due to a too-short of a return line going under the air box. Since I had to drain the system, I decided to install the PSC upgraded pressure line. I also took off the 2 lines to the ram and had a hydraulic shop make new lines out of a more heavy duty hose...

    ATX beadlocks- scotch brite or sanding to knock down the "shine"?

    So in my infinite wisdom, I clear coated the bead locks before install. Now months later, they're still very shiny in the places that don't have rock rash. I'm thinking about scotch brite pads, or maybe even a sanding disc on a palm sander to knock off the clear coat and try to get them to a...

    PIAA Fogs installed on EVO quarter pounder

    After lots of thinking about how to incorporate fog lights onto the EVO quarter pounder, I ordered the EVO light bracket and some PIAA LED amber fogs. I really didn't care for the look (first photo) and they stuck out pretty far. Since everything is better when you drill holes in it, I moved...

    Options for 2" wrenches for evo control arms?

    I installed with a pipe wrench, but that's not ideal. Even my 15" adjustable wrenches don't open to 2". Curious that the jam nuts on the johnny joints on the EVO carrier use a smaller 1 13/16" which my wrench opens up to. The lower front arms are 2". I scoured amazon, but I can't find...
