Not on purpose but there is a good skid I left at the end of my street while turning out. Lend me your jeep and I'd be happy to do some fwd burnouts with it.

'04, tailgate locks the window

I think I found a good o-ring size. ID: 19.8mm OD: 24.6mm Section width: 2.4mm. I overlooked this one before because it seemed just barely bigger than the one that leaked like crazy. However, it is a very very tight fit. Does not want to go in without some moderate force. My only concern was...

I jacked up the front axle and spun a tire while in 2HI, resulting in the other tire wanting to spin in the opposite direction. It didn't really spin much though because the front driveshaft was not engaged in the transfer case, so the driveshaft spun instead. However, like I said, the other...

I am not the original owner. I have had the front diff cover off and it is all stock as far as I'm aware of. I had the carrier out to replace the inner seals recently and everything was identical to pictures of oem carriers. The air lockers are original and still work. They were not engaged...

I had my rear driveshaft out yesterday while painting it and replacing its u-joints. I went for a drive in 4HI, so the jeep was really just operating in front wheel drive. As expected, there were some handling differences, such as the front wanting to dart around a bit while driving on bumpy...

I tried an SAE o-ring with a section width of 1/8” and it was too thick to allow the sensor to fit in its hole. Same with a metric o-ring with a width of 3mm which is just smaller than 1/8”. Seems like a width around 7/64” would work but they aren’t easy to find, and ordering them individually...

Yeah I’ll try to get a viton ring if possible. The correct bolt is an M6x1.00x18mm. I used a 16mm length since that was all that was available at the hardware store, but 18mm is the factory length. The old o-ring I removed seems to match perfectly with an o-ring I got from the hardware store...

Thanks guys. Got the bolt removed yesterday after cleaning it and hitting it with penetrating oil for a few days. I think it will be helpful for other people to see that the CPS works for this application though. Now I'm off to find a replacement O-ring to fit and I'll post the dimensions when I...

Thanks for the reply. That seems like the best plan so hopefully it goes well. I wasn’t sure about the part so that will save me a lot of time if I end up needing to get a new one.

I was trying to locate a leak of ATF on my transfer case and found that it seems to be dripping down from a sensor on the 241 transfer case. A gentle wiggle of the sensor showed some fresh red ATF around the edges, so I believe the O-ring has failed and needs to be replaced. After searching for...

When I had the carrier off before, I could see a passageway to grooves in outside of the inner tube from the top bolt hole. If this wasn’t the case then yes that would be the way to go. I’m sure it was designed for lubrication from the top, but it didnt have a zerk when I bought it. And it’s a...

Okay I’m going to order a zerk that threads into the M10x1.50. Can’t find them at the hardware store. And yes I can remove the carrier, but I can add the zerk without doing so. I packed grease in the grooves and all around the inner part when the carrier was off before, but it dried up in a...

I bought a used bumper featuring a swing-out spare tire carrier a while back. When I bought it, the hinge was stuck and it took a while to even get it apart. When I did, I discovered anti-seize that had gunked up pretty bad. After cleaning it, I reassembled with a coat of red lithium grease...

Great write-up thanks. I have a slow RMS leak remaining after solving my valve cover leak, so I'm soon gona take on this job soon. Just a quick question on what you mean when you say "offset". Is this when you have both halves of the seal slightly angled so that their connection doesn't line up...

I just installed 4 new bolts in my 2004 rubicon's fuel rail. The old fasteners were in fine shape, but 2 were missing from before I took ownership of the jeep. I noticed the front fastener was actually a stud, and in some pictures of other TJ's I observed that the rearmost fastener was also a...

I am finally getting around to dealing with the body mount issues on my 2004 rubicon. Out of the 11 total body mounts, 4 are missing their bolts completely. I tried swapping in identical body mount bolts from elsewhere on the jeep, but it's pretty clear that there are snapped sections of the...

Did you figure out what the problem was? I have been experiencing the same problem for about a year, but I have never fully stalled out and it is intermittent enough that I have not been forced to figure it out. It happens when I slow down as I approach a stop. It can happen when the jeep is...

Thanks, good to know that one would work. What I ended up doing was disassembling the shift tower, cleaning each piece, removing all the surface rust, and repainting the rod. I ordered a new rubber cap (the top part of the tower assembly) and replaced the old one to keep water out in the future...

Someone else on this site has pointed out that some heater cores such as the one made by spectra, have a thick plastic turbulator in them. This is like a corkscrew flexible noodle-like thing that sits inside the pipe running through the heater core. It’s designed to create a turbulent flow...
