Sounds like I do need to go to 31s, I sure don’t want to blow my automatic transmission. The previous owner told me it was a ‘rock crawler’. I know little about jeeps. There is however many pounds of undercarriage protection.

yes I know about the 33/10.50/15, but hoping someone wants to trade for my 12.50, as money is tight.

Previous owner was crawling with 35s, but put on the 33s before I bought it.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks for the quick input bbaldwin

I’m still new to jeeps so bear with me.. I’ve purchased a 2005 TJ set up for rock crawling, but now need to start flat towing it a good deal. It has a 3 1/2” Rusty’s long arm lift kit with 33/12.50/15 cepek trail country tires. Front differential = Detroit front locker DETROIT...

What would be normal cost?

What is the least expensive way to fix this issue? This TJ has 208k miles and now only does maybe 100 miles a year off-road duty with maybe 200 miles per year on road. Ashim suggested replacing whole system with rockjock currectlync, but with installation, that will be $1k. Can’t do that...

Removed cotter pin and tried to tighten it but no luck.

Example of how much I’m in the dark—. I think this is actually a tie rod end?

Today I was investigating why my TJ has more steering slop than I like. With my wife working the steering wheel and me underneath, I see movement in the right front lower ball joint. Either the ball joint or maybe the mounting bolt, unsure. See video and let me know your thoughts. Is it an...

The one I need to replace doesn’t have the sliders or fader knobs. Not sure harnessing will match up. Anyone know?
