    Rolled my Rubicon! Need advice

    Depends on the engine, how the vehicle was rolled, and how it sat after it was righted. I've heard of some that the oil will pool in the manifold so you think you're good once the initial smoke clears, then when you drive it again the puddle sloshes over to the intake ports and hydrolocks later...

    Rolled my Rubicon! Need advice

    My jeep was rolled in a similar manner. My grandfather was on Imogene pass when a tire slid off the edge of the trail. He stopped and tried to back it back on the trail but cut the wheel as he did, and the weight shifted over the edge and it went over a couple times before stopping against a...

    One tire wearing

    assuming you have an open diff in the rear, the torque from the driveshaft puts upward pressure on the right rear tire, which means it will be the first to spin whenever it is wet or slippery out. If you haven't rotated the tires, it could explain why the RR is wearing more, yet evenly.

    What's that noise? (Mac's edition)

    When I asked for a rad cap pressure tester adapter that actually fit my cap, i had some kid tell me one doesn't exist. My head could have exploded right there and then i was so pissed.

    Warn locking hub damage: How bad and next steps?

    maybe someone more knowledgeable than me could weigh in on how bad an idea it would be to drill and tap a hole either in the housing or third member, or if you really need to have someone weld a bung into the housing.

    Warn locking hub damage: How bad and next steps?

    This was a quirk of the Ford 9". There were some years that the fill plug was on the housing, and some years that the fill plug was on the third member. So you could combine parts such that you have no fill plug at all. Whoever did that might have just filled it through the vent tube with an...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I have one of those .410 1100s. They don't make them anymore so values have jumped in the past few years.

    Front lockouts or Yukon spin free hubs discussion

    I ordered my 07 kit just after Christmas and it arrived on new years eve. I've opened it up and checked that all items were included, and they indeed appear to have been. The packaging has changed though as all of the parts were packed in plastic resealable bags rather than shrunk to a piece...

    OEM 6-CD changer / radio

    I purchased one along with an aux input setup and swapped it in about a year ago. It works well for what it is, lets me play pandora or sirius through the apps, and is better than listening to the blabbering local radio morons.

If you want a more permanent temporary fix, I have the tcase drop kit laying around the garage somewhere i'll send you for the cost of shipping (includes the tcase linkage drop). also have the track bar bracket extension too you could have. wouldn't be able to send until next...

    Metalcloak T-Link Steering

    I will admit I am a fan of most of the MC stuff, in fact almost all of my suspension is MC, and I don't see a reason for the MC T-link over the currie/factory y-link style setup.

    Two mysteries

    rent/borrow a cooling system pressure tester from the parts store and check your radiator cap. If it isn't holding pressure, you'll boil off coolant without any leaks. if your rad cap is good, you might need to do an exhaust gas check in the cooling system. sometimes a bad head gasket will...

    Thoughts on these JL wheels for my silver TJ

    Picked up a set of 5 JLR wheels with new 33" KO2s for $900. This is running 2" adapters, and they sit flush on the 6" metalcloak fenders/flares.
