Thanks for the offer. I might be looking to buy someone's used suspension kit in a year or two, but at the moment I'm trying to keep it low enough so I dont have to start messing around with the...
I think I'm going to avoid going down a rabbit hole here and just replace the rear, upper, axle side bushings on both sides. Laying under the jeep with the parking brake on, I can roll the jeep back...
It seems like this shouldnt be so difficult, but its unclear to me which control arm bushings are common with which on a TJ.
This is my best guess currently:
Front upper frame and axle are the...
Thanks, Steve. Your spacers should be 0.25 taller than mine. I think I'm going to need a little bit more than that. I found .75in spacers for $15 online. Probably going to pull the trigger on...
I kinda like northern tool as a better compromise for cost and quality, or at least I that's the perception I have. For all I know they are made by the same factory in china. These 12ton stands were...

They reopened a handful of locations. I went to Sheridan.
Arvada
Boulder
Broomfield
County Line
Got tested. The jeep passed emissions with a decent amount of margin. I was a little worried. It does have 236K on the clock.
Now I need to make an appointment with Jeffco DMV to title and...
How many miles are on your 4.2, Jim?
If you had to do it over again, what would you think about using a brass punch? I'm thinking one could swing at that a little harder without worrying about marring up the block or the crank... that...
Do you mean a dana 60 out of an 05+ superduty or a super 60 out of a 05+ F450 or F550?
I am not a fabricator, but I swapped a 05+ superduty axle into my van, so I spent some time trying to wrap...
So the body lift and motor mount lift are installed. This was a classic 80-20 principle type of project where I must have spent a whole day trying to get two broken body bolts out. I ended up taking...
Well, they may take my money after I spent it on an OHV permit, but they cant take my time after I spend it cleaning up our sponsored trails.
Another thought... now if it were executed as a loan to the general fund to be paid back over 5 to 10 years, I would be quite a bit less upset about it.
But I'm not holding my breath.
I feel like I need to know more about this before I can form a complete opinion. If the state would be exhausting all other forms of budgetary wrangling from tax-generated sources (as opposed to...
Sure, thanks! I was going to try and replicate that with a couple layers of 1/2" plate and some roll pins, but this would save me a few hours. I could drive up into Denver in the morning if that's...
Changed the oil in the diffs, T-case, engine, and flushed the brake system with a half-a-gallon of fluid. I'd like to change the oil in the transmission, but I read AX-15's dont fare well with GL-5...
I rebuilt the trac-lok in the rear end last night. Didn't get any photos, as reassembling the diff required every one of my appendages Getting the spider gears in was the tricky part. It involved...
So it turns out I'm wrong. Called the DMV and they said that all I have to do is fill out the registration extension form (which is linked on the page Jim included above) and print out a copy with...
I appreciate anyone's two cents. I am no lawyer or expert either, but this is what I think I know so far:
I think one has 36 hours to drive the vehicle from the seller's place of storage to the...
More tinkering... there was a sizable leak out of the end of the steering box. I think the issue was a damaged o-ring on the cap opposite of the input shaft. It was easy to remove and would have...
If I had to wager a guess, i'd say that they crimped the bearing into the pulley because it would be cheaper than a press-fit. Press fits can be tricky to get right, and tool wear would be...
The repaired crack....just below the seam.
For sale, one tan factory TJ hard top, $900.
Tinted glass is all good. Has a pair of rails installed on top for a rood rack.
The lift struts need replacement, they're too weak to hold up...
The jeep came with one aftermarket bracket to move the drivers side mirror from the door to the a-pillar. The passenger side had home made bracket made from a slice of square tube mounting the mirror...
If you can not get it to go back together, maybe consider replacing the stud with a shoulder bolt. You'd have to drill the flat out of the mounting hole, but that wouldn't be the end of the world.
