Ok...been chasing this noise for the better part of two months. I have tried... 1. Replacing the front axle u-joints with new Spicers. 2. Replaced my ring and pinion on my Dana 30 with a Yukon. It's set up a little deep with .005 backlash. 3. Removed my new Tom Woods driveshaft...noise...

Dana 30. Broke three teeth on the original 4.88s I had in there. Figured I could swap in a new set with minimal changes. Bzzt. Mistake was probably buying cheap Yukon but here I go. Backlash is in spec. My read is the pinion is way shallow. But I wanted an experienced opinion before I pull the...

Trying to replace the ring and pinion on my LP TJ Dana 30 with a Super 30 kit and Eaton e-locker. Ordered SK30214 and they appear to be inboard shims. Will and Dana 30 outboard shim kit work? -Mac

Here's a short of recovering a fairly new F150 from the woods and saying goodbye to my beloved pink Barbie Jeep rope from Amazon...now replaced with a quality Wizard Recovery Gear rope... -Mac

I really want a TIG capable welder for stainless exhaust and aluminum from thin to thick. I was looking at Everlast...Powertig 210EXT... it's $1500. https://www.everlastgenerators.com/product/tig-stick/powertig-210ext This one doesn't do AC... probably has points that need cleaning...but it's...

So after my track bar came up like a guillotine and severed my plastic fuel line that runs from the tank to the hard line attached to the chassis I went on quite a journey making a replacement. Here's the parts you need: 3/8s to 5/16 barbed QD fitting...

Pretty typical for me, too...when I installed my BMB big brake kit I hit four parts stores for ball joints and ended up ordering and waiting for Spicer on Amazon. -Mac

So there really isn't a camping and overland gear thread, @Chris so I'm tossing this in general discussion. I want to build a pump box. RV pump and a filter in a waterproof box. Possibly but not probably with a battery. Definitely with quick disconnect water fittings. Here's one I found at...

On my way home from Moab my 231J started hemmoraging fluid. I've since replaced the front output seal and the shifter o-ring and retention ring. It's still leaking. Thinking it might be this...which I believe is a shift detent spring and ball. Anyone have any idea what sized o-ring? I have...

Just got back from Moab. My brakes absolutely sucked. Going to order a BMB 15" big brake kit from @mrblaine - that's going to solve most of my issues. Considering divorcing the vacuum booster from the engine and adding an electric pump like this...

Ok...out at Moab with folks today we had a crank no start situation. I noticed no rpm on the tach and suggested we change the crank position sensor. It's also possible it was vapor locked...or something else. While the CPS was being changed I pulled my fuel pump relay and induced a crank no...

Great video from Matt's Offroad Recovery... What would you do differently? Seems like carrying an 1/8" NPT plug...that is the thread pitch, right? To cap off front or rear brakes would give you something. Thoughts? -Mac

Well figured I'd best purchase a 2 post lift online before the trade wars start tomorrow...hard to search the forums for lift...saw some recommending Greg Smith equipment...but they folded into Tooltopia and then another website and it all looks sketchy to me. Any suggestions? Trying for $2 to...

Ok folks...we've got a Jeeper @Slp 1997 in need and I'm thinking of holding a party... here's the original post... https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/total-frame-replacement.80035 I've got a frame that was given to me by another forum member, so I don't feel right selling it...so I'm...

Not mine. Closed group so here's a screenshot. PM me if you want more details. -Mac

I want more parking brakes! Too many times I've been out winching vehicles and the rear drum brakes just don't hold the Jeep. Thinking about adding this on the driver's side kick panel just under the dash. I'd need a couple of brake lines to the proportioning/shuttle valve and maybe a couple...

So on my trip down the Rubicon the only issue we had was belt splitting. Lost a rib on two belts and when we removed the rib @CMBD noticed the belt would ride forward on the crank pulley and rear on everything else. For reference the crank pulley is Napa sourced and installed a couple of years...

No idea of the veracity of any of this... https://www.facebook.com/share/p/sWnfnKg39V1e4xVH/?mibextid=oFDknk -Mac
