    32RH Cooler Line Check Valve

    I remember reading at one point that the 32 has a check valve somewhere in the cooler line circuit. I had a crimped line and a hole on the TJ when I bought it, so I replaced the lines with rubber hose. I get a bit of delay when shifting to reverse, especially after it sits for a while. I was...

    I added a flattie to the fleet

    I got bit by the bug and had to have one too. It's a very early 1946 CJ2a with the flat head L engine. It's kind of unique for those who are in the know on these things. The early CJ2s were assembled from a lot of left-over military parts originally set for the MB Jeeps. This one has the...

    LegitStreetCars Turbo Wrangler YouTube Series

    I just came across this yesterday. He installs an eBay turbo "kit" on his 2004 TJ. Lots of useful information and pretty good documentation of the process. Also, he's using some of my products which is cool for me.

    Single Axle Trailer Design

    Hey Y'all, I am thinking about building a new trailer for hauling my TJ and LJ. I currently have a 16' tandem axle trailer with 2 3.5k axles and I have been having problems with its reliability. Most recently I bent the front axle on a trip to Utah which caused the tires to wear on the inside...

    Adding a cabin filter on my 97 TJ

    Hey Y'all, I just wanted to share the cabin filter I added to my 1997. I bought this thing with a bad heater core and changed it recently. When I took the hvac box apart I noticed a few things. Firstly on the 1997 the fresh air intake under the cowl is wide open and doesn't have the cover...

    Southern Utah In The Turbo LJ

    Hey all I just wanted to share a few pics of my most recent trip to the southern part of Utah. We toured Capitol Reef as well as Bryce Canyon and Zion parks. For my part I got to wheel a few trails. I did part of Hole in the Rock Badge Trail. I also did some open OHV riding near Factory...

    Dyno Testing Bolt-ons On The 4.0

    I recently purchased a 1997 TJ (4.0 32RH) for some projects I am working on. I am planning to do some tuning sessions on it to get some base files for my tuning business. As part of that process I am going to be on the dyno in a number of different configurations with different mods. As a...

    Cooler fuel with a return fuel system

    We have been working on a customer's TJ in the shop recently that was having some hard start issues when hot. We did all the typical recommended mods for dealing with under hood heat like the DEI heatshield and fuel rail wrap kit. We also wrapped the header and Y pipe with heat wrap as well as...

    WTB: 2005-2006 Fuel Pump Assembly

    Hey Y'all, I'm looking for an old fuel pump module for a 2005 or 2006 TJ or LJ Wrangler. I don't need it to work at all. I do need it to have the level sensor. I would like it to be a Mopar part. I'm only going to be using it for measurements. If you have one that you replaced and are going...

    Coolant Filter Cut Apart

    Hey y'all, I installed a coolant filter setup a few months ago on the 2005 LJ. My plan was to run it for a few thousand miles, then cut it open and see what it caught or didn't catch. I ended up putting right at 3000 miles on the setup with the filter installed. Pretty shocking the amount of...

    A reminder to wire in an ignition kill switch

    I took a trip to Houston this week for a training class. We stayed at a nice Marriott near the training site. I parked my '21 GMC 2500 HD about 50 yards from the entrance of the hotel, and went to bed. Next morning it was gone. Apparently this is all to frequent in the Houston area. The cop was...

    Rockauto SKP SK594018 Harmonic Balancer

    I bought one to put on the used engine I'm dropping in the TJ. Seemed like a good deal at $30. I drove it 50 miles and it started squeaking. I thought it may have been the belt as I did get some drops of coolant on it when I was filling the radiator. I pulled the belt and started it, low and...

    Jezza's Turbo LJ

    Hey y'all, this is a continuation of my other thread that had made for my turbo TJ. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/turbo-4-liter.49996/ I bought this 2005 LJ a month or so ago and I am planning to build it much the same as I built the TJ. Many of the parts from the TJ will be moved over...

    Jezza's Ford 6R80 Transmission Swap

    Hey folks. I thought I would continue the thread from the general section over here as it has become less of a tech question and more of a build. A quick recap up to this point. I picked up a broken 6R80 locally to do some fitment testing and start designing a pattern for an adapter from the...

    Talk me out of a 6R80 automatic swap

    I'm about to do an engine swap on the TJ to a 4.7l stroker and upgrading the turbocharger to a GT3582. The engine and turbo will be good for 5-600 hp give or take and the NV3550 that currently calls the trans tunnel home most likely will be overwhelmed along with the clutch. I have already...

    High volume fuel pump

    Hey y'all, I thought I would share this high volume fuel pump setup I devised for my TJ. It uses a Walbro 450 pump and has an internal adjustable regulator. The Walbro 450 pumps are good for over 700 horsepower on pump gas and are also E85 compatible. The regulator is adjustable from 25psi...

    Does a cold air intake add power on a 4.0?

    Answer is yes. I have seen this question asked and answered before. Typically the answers I see range from very little to none. I had a hard time believing that there was no power to be had, so I did a little test today while I had the TJ on the chassis dyno. I tried to keep it as scientific...

    Thoughts on this diff breather setup?

    We were having a discussion at the shop the other day about remote mount breather kits for the off-road stuff. I was looking online for a setup that would allow me to move my vents up to the firewall or another high spot in the system. Problem is I don't have a ton of space up in the engine...
