    TJ rear disc brake conversion

    Just to update, I didn't end up doing the ZJ conversion, I did end up changing to a Ford 8.8 with disk brakes, so everything worked out well. I got a stronger axle, and didn't have to pay for a conversion. I like having 4 wheel disk brakes much better.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Off the top of my head? Time and place! This is where we are supposed to see awesome mods an mad modding skilz. The political stuff should hangout in the "Politics" thread. Here we are not divided in this thread, and come together as a whole to promote our legendary Jeep mods!

    Is it common to have this many wheel weights?

    I can't add anything more other than that is unacceptable, and BS that someone would be happy with that. I am not sure I would take it back. I would go to someplace that has a better work ethic. Honestly, I have had issues like that in the past from Discount Tires in my area. I don't want to bad...

    Where can I find flat TJ fenders like this?

    That sounds like a lot of BS. Luckily here in AZ we only get emission tests, but only in certain counties. We don't have to do safety inspections at all. The BS part here is our emissions goes all of the way back to 1967, so if you have a 1967 Ford Bronco or 1967 beetle or any other thing 67 or...

    TJ suspension height problems

    Ah I must have read something wrong or assumed something, For some reason I thought you put a Currie on it. Yes I would call Trail master and find out what the springs should be and see if yours are the same. Before I put my Currie on, I had a ARB 2" and mine had about 3 inch rake. It was...

    TJ suspension height problems

    So yours looks roughly like mine with no spacers. Here is my suggestion because I can't think of anything else, and I believe a 1.5 in space in the front is more than I would do. Since you are taking it all apart anyway. I would call Currie and tell them the issues you are having, and then have...

    TJ suspension height problems

    I have a 98 TJ with the 4 inch Currie, and a Ford 8.8 rear end as @JMT said. Mine has about a 2 inch rake, but I did it on purpose because I tow a trailer. Actually, I put the springs in with no spacers (other than the stock ones) and drove it around for a while to see where it would settle, and...

    Broken clutch pedal

    I think I may know. On my Jeep up on the clutch pedal, where the master cylinder rod connects to the pedal completely broke off. I had to replace my pedal completely, but before I replaced it I didn't really look at it close enough, and there is a plastic insert that snaps the rod to the pedal...

    Is this noise coming from a bad throw out bearing?

    CodaMan is correct... When your foot is not on the clutch your throwout bearing is completely stopped. So it can't be making noise, but if it was bad it would make noise when you push the pedal because it is pressing against the clutch cover and spinning. He is also correct about the noise...

    June 2020 Ride of the Month Contest

    My old broken eyes thought the same thing. I grew up at the ocean and I have seen the beach take rigs before, I was looking for the hole that sucked up the Jeep. I couldn't find it and then decided it was just a nice scenic picture. Nothing wrong with that, But till you discovered the Jeep I...

    ARB air locker compressor location ideas TJ

    It was actually really easy except for I think in the instructions it says it is different for the 97-2000s where you have an extra bracket that comes with it. The bracket bolts on OK but it also bolts on to the main bracket with one nut and bolt. That nut and bold is tricky on the 97-2000's If...
