    Hello from Orange County

    Hey everyone, So I have been on here a couple of weeks (maybe more?) but didn't notice this forum was here. My name is Jeremy and I am out here in beautiful OC California. I served ~5 years (did an extension for combat replacement) in the USMC infantry. Been out about 11 years now. Father of...

    Anyone available in OC?

    Alright so I have tried just about everything to get the nut off the bolt of the drag link. The bolt biters aren't working, my flat punch just got jacked up, and heat did nothing to help get that damn thing off. Tried using an Allen wrench to hold the bolt in place while using a box wrench to...

    Drag Link won't unthread

    Hey everyone, so I am having some issues trying to get the nut off the bolt on the pitman arm. The nut is spinning without threading off. I am not sure what to do here and wondering if anyone has any advice. It took forever and a lot of PB to finally get it to break loose, but now it just spins...

    Steering Stabilizer Q's

    So I am going be upgrading my steering stabilizer while I am installing my new steering components, and I keep reading that getting one with the pass-through body is recommended, but I found a couple from Fox and I am not sure which would be more applicable to my own needs. So there seems to be...

    Shock leak?

    So I was installing my new 2.5 res king shocks and right as I was bolting the shock up with the mount in the rear, I start getting pissed on by a clear oily fluid. It was kind of all over the shock by the time I got it unbolted from the mount so I am not entirely sure where it came from, but the...

    Electrical Issues

    Alright everyone, so I am sure some of you have noticed I have been on here asking a ton of questions. I bought the Jeep the way it is and the previous owner didn't get any information from the owner before him. So I am working on pretty limited information here. To the point, since I have...

    Rear Shock Orientation Q'

    Hey guys, so I just learned after some searching and reading that I actually put my King Res shocks on the front on the wrong side. So that got me wondering about the rear. I have the reservoirs pointing inward. Now I couldn't get them to clear with the reservoir facing the rear of the vehicle...

    Extreme Vibration after CA install

    So I got my front lower control arms from Rockjock on today. I drove it for about an hour and it was all good but I just started driving it now and it feels like there is a ton of vibration in the whole Jeep. Did I mess something up or did something else just take a crap on my Jeep? Sent from...

    LF Control Arm Orientation

    Okay so hopefully I didn't make a stupid mistake here, but I am using the Rockjock control arms and I I couldn't get the adjustable end into the frame mount, but it fit perfectly in the axle mount. Does the orientation of the control arm matter? Like if the Johnny joint end is in the frame or...

    Trying to replace control arms

    The driver side axle end of the control has a rusty siezed up bolt. I can't get my impact on there because of the damn caliper and I've tried like hell to break it free. Not sure what else to do. Any thoughts? Should I remove the wheel? Sent from my SM-N986U using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Tie-rod and drag link question

    So my tie-rod is just slapping around at the ends and I don't know if my drag link is even bad, but I am curious to whether or not I can replace the tie-rod now and get the drag link later? Or is it important to replace them both if they're both bad? I have 140k miles with a 3" lift on 37's and...

    Jack, or no jack?

    So I'll be replacing my front lower control arms and my track bar today. I've been watching videos and it all seems pretty straight forward. However, some videos have bad angles or confused me. I've seen some videos of people having a jack under the diff but the tires look flat. Do I need a jack...

    What Impact Driver Are You Using?

    So I know that the Milwaukee Fuel is amazing, but there are a lot of things I need to replace/repair on my Jeep and I am not 100% sure I can justify to myself spending over $300 on an impact driver. However, I do have a lot of work that needs to be done so having an impact driver would be nice...

    Drag Link Flip or no?

    Okay so I'm looking at Curries Currectlync and I'm trying to figure out if I should do the flip kit or not. My lift won't be over 3" for a while and I'm currently running 37's. I will eventually go to coilovers but that won't be for a while. So should I do the flip or just keep it standard...

    Is Rockjock Currie?

    Okay so I have been looking for some Currie control arms but every time I search for them I keep getting Rockjock stuff. Now I went and Googled some stuff and found out that Rockjock is it's own company separate from Currie. Is still owned by the same people (wondering mainly for quality...

    Wife wants a new seat. Suggestions?

    Yes guys, it is me again. So I have Mastercraft Baja RS' in the front and the same model bench seat in the back. My wife at some point broke the lever mechanism and latch wouldn't catch anymore, so her seat would recline with zero force. I ripped open the lever system and jammed a screw into it...

    Ride Quality Questions

    Hey everyone, so I know that the shocks and springs play a huge (maybe the largest) part in the ride quality of the rig, but is there any other component that can be added/upgraded that might help? I don't hate my ride, I just know it can be better, and I have some plush coils coming soon which...

    What stereo receiver are you using?

    As the title states, looking for what you guys have in your Jeep and is it worth getting or staying away from. I have the stock receiver in my 08 JKU Rubi and the lack of bluetooth and using my phone for maps (to explore) has finally pushed me to just get a new receiver that offers both. But so...

    Shock locks?

    So I finally found a set of 2.5 Resi shocks from King and pulled the trigger. However, I really want to make sure they stay on my Jeep. Lol. Anyone on here have any locks/tricks that they use to ensure their shocks don't get jacked? I am sure I can MacGyver if I need to, but any suggestions are...
