    AX-15/Tcase Noise (Update)

    Updating here, and still looking for some help. Hoping to find a solution here and then post up because there are a hell of a lot of threads all over the web about similar issues. Brand new AX-15 from @NovakConversions went in last week (awesome shipping and product, just first-rate). With...

    AX-15/Tcase Noise (Update)

    Thinking out loud here for a sanity check, and for future people searching — I've noticed that I could be going down the road just fine, and if I hit a bump. that can make it start the grinding. So I've got grinding mostly in these scenarios, all of which change geometry or slack in the...

    AX-15/Tcase Noise (Update)

    Thanks — the noise is right at about 3 seconds, if that changes anything...the muffler is quiet then. I don't think it can be a throwout bearing — my foot isn't on the clutch here.

    AX-15/Tcase Noise (Update)

    Video here: ‘97 - 4.0 and AX-15 - 231 with a SS SYE The tcase I know to be in good shape. Shifts clean and ran through every drive. AX 15 is old…200k miles, and no known service history. No metal in fluid. Noise happens primarily when I’m off the accelerator, but not exclusively. I could...

    California NorCal Jeep adventures!

    Also back from Rubicon. Good to meet @Alex01 and @Woodrow, albeit briefly. The old goat did well. No breakages and hit everything but soup bowl. Lost a couple fender flares on some squeezes, but they’re MCE plastic, so that was supposed to happen.

    California NorCal Jeep adventures!

    We're still going in on Friday AM, so may see you guys up there. We'll be staying at springs saturday night and then headed into Tahoe, so might miss you. I'm in a blue TJ on 35's — buddy is in a black JK on 40s. Will have a couple kids with us. God speed.

    UCF Shipping Woes

    Throwing this up here as another data point — take it for what it's worth. Am under the gun a little before another trip coming up, and with that in mind, I emailed UCF Tuesday of last week (9-10 days ago) about stock and lead time for engine and trans skids. Was told, "yeah, if you order...

    PSC reservoir mounting tips

    Necro bump here — @mrblaine, is this still the "go-to" method? I'm about to pull the trigger on all this stuff (including your nearly bolt-in kit) and need to do a little pre-planning. I think I'll need to mount about here, as my compressor is sitting in the same spot as these pics. I seem to...

    California NorCal Jeep adventures!

    Yeah they’re both fired up. This is rubicon number 2 for the 8 year old. First time for my boy (the 7 yo) but he’s pumped and knows the major areas by name already. They both ran Dusy with us last year and were great sports. They’ll be accomplished drivers by the time they’ve got their...
