Neat!

https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/how-to-diy-drill-and-tap-your-jl-steering-gear-for-hydro-assist.131098/ I followed this guy’s thread. It wasn’t too bad, I just took my time to make sure I didn’t get metal shards in the box since I didn’t take it apart.

Mind if I tag along? I think I can make it Thursday and Friday. I grew up in St. George and have wheeled most of the trails out there.

I grew up in St. George and have been on most of the trails out there. I’ll try to make it Thursday and Friday, but I only have so much PTO and already have a few trips planned next year, so I have to balance it.

Here are some more pics. I weighed the front axle and wrote a paper in my differential equations class on the application of springs in parallel and series, predicting their natural frequency and the critical damping ratio of the suspension system (assuming you omit the shock). I figured there...

Some pics from our Moab trip this last December, plus a few shots playing on the forklift. And peep the custom Milwaukee Packout carrier my fiancée is sitting on.

More rando pics of my Jeep

Yeah, I started it recently so I don’t have a ton of content, but there are a few pics. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/swiss-cheese-a-tj-6-story.85665/

lol, My jeep thinks its had a broken torque converter for the past 55,000 miles and I no longer have any emissions systems on my jeep lol.

What door armor did you end up choosing?

I struggled with them the same way. If it’s rough to get them in, you can tap them with a mallet to line them up left, right, and center better. And as for depth, I’ve found that having them set lower and needing to press the whole hood down with my arm for them to click free is better than...

Hopefully you have better luck with hood pins than I’ve had. I got a similar-looking set on Amazon that were anodized black, and they faded after one summer and then grenaded themselves with the little internal springs. I had to buy another set because the holes are already in my hood. The...

I know this is an old thread, but I remembered I had this pic of my dash when I was going 105+ in my stretched TJ on 40s. I’ve GPS-tested it and my speedo is dead-nuts accurate. Does push high on the revs though. Fastest I’ve gone is somewhere north of 115. I backed out because I was hitting...
