    Hello old friends

    And yes, the bed liner atrocity is an affront to everything I hold dear. It is like a "Claymation" version of paint.

    Hello old friends

    Hello Folks, Art here. I have been TJ-free for a couple years when I left the UAE. I was in Japan and Iraq for a while, now home in Florida. Picked up a 2002 Sport yesterday. 100% rust free, one owner, zero accidents, absolutely bone stock. Red rag top(one year old) with half doors. I'll...

    Should I Replace The Harmonic Balancer?

    In the middle east we replaced a number of them. The rubber deteriorates due to age and heat most likely. It is a very simple job. Install new crank seal, timing gears, and chain at the same time because you are already there and it is the right thing to do. I like overkill, consider water...

    Is May the National Fuckwit Month?

    Sadly, I ran into a lot of idiots in April as well. Our whole planet needs a reboot it seems.

    What's This Leak?

    The RMS is easy enough to replace but it is often an exercise in futility. If the leak isn't bad, live with it. There are usually other maintenance items more worthy and pressing to perform. Some here suggest the Dino Mobil high mileage oil has good results. I replaced my RMS twice. The...

    How old was it before the three month fluid was put in?

    Best location for exhaust?

    Stock location is the best. I drove mine without the top plenty with no issues. You will get more exhaust from the rig in front of you than you do from the pipe behind you.

    New front brakes dragging badly

    Pushing the pistons back in would not cause them to seize. A properly function caliper should be able to have the piston move in and out. Corrosion from contaminated fluids could have been the culprit. Calipers don't last forever. Don't be afraid to rebuild or replace your rear calipers as...

    For us old guys with BPH (trouble peeing)

    Oddly enough, I had the Urolift procedure in January as well, done in Dubai (GPTA great penises think alike). A proud owner of a new lift kit. I had the very same issue, and the results were nothing short of amazing. It was a game changer. There is another procedure (can't recall the name)...

    Has Quadratec gone out of business?

    Hailey from Quadratec is fixing this for me. Not sure where the SNAFU was, but I suspect the mail hub in Bahrain.

    Has Quadratec gone out of business?

    I ordered a lift kit for a friend here in Dubai back in November along with other parts. I can no longer view my transactions on their website and they are closed every time I call according to their robot. I can't recall the young lady's name who frequents this site. Anyone know? I know, I...

    Shop Wants To Replace Differential Assembly

    God is telling you to buy a press, re-gear, refurbish (clutches as well if applicable), and get stronger axles. It is not wise to ignore a powerful deity. Do you have a friend that can help? You can buy all the parts, tools, and upgrades for less and have the tools left over for years of joy.

    Could it be anything besides the heater core?

    Worthy of note, when checking the cooling system, go ahead and install a new Hayden 2771 fan clutch if you haven't already done so. Simple job and it really makes a difference. Test the power at the horn and work backwards from there. If you have power there, the horn is kaput.
