    Can’t get 4WD shifter into 2H

    Hey guys, new to Jeep TJs and this forum. I just did a ton of work on my wife’s 03 wrangler X 5 speed. After putting everything back together, I go to see how the clutch feels and I realize that I’m getting zero power at all. After putting it into 4WD and taking it for a few spins, I noticed...

    Rear drive shaft u-joints and centering ball

    In the process of rebuilding my rear drive shaft, and noticed a couple of things odd, and had a couple of questions. First, I'm working on an 03 Rubicon, and from Denny's Driveshaft, it looks like the rear DS was calling for a qty of two 5-795x (double u-joint at TC side), and a single 5-793x...

    Front DS U-joint (5-793x) retaining clips

    Attempting to change the diff side front drive shaft u-joint, which, to my understanding is a spicer 5-793x (2003 Rubicon). However, the u-joint I pulled out of the driveshaft looks a little odd. The caps were protruding from the drive shaft, and there were no retaining clips. I was able...

    Vibration in front right wheel, axle bent?

    I've always noticed a bit of a vibration from my front right wheel. Over the course of the last year I've replaced the axles, ball joints, hub, breaks, and shocks. I have all new tie rods, as well as control arms. Basically the whole front end has been rebuilt over the course of the last year...

    Rear axle u-joint failure (driveshaft flew out)

    Long story short (I typed it all up then it got deleted.) Haven’t driven this puppy in a minute, about a year. Drove it, vibrations out of no where, horrifying noise, pull over, see no driveshaft, uh oh, turn around in 4wd and run home. U-joints failed and driveshaft went flying into a field...

    After market listed to work for TJ and GC. Will GC oem work for TJ?

    Unknown driveshaft yoke

    Okay. As I was trying to find out the source of vibration, I twisted the head off a U joint bolt in the rear yoke. It has a dual cadron driveshaft of an unknown manufacture. My question is, what size yoke and U-joint do I need to get? Is there anyway I can determine the size of the U-joint...

    Looks like I need a new front driveshaft

    Tore down the double cardan joint on my front driveshaft to rebuild it. Unfortunately it looks like I need a new driveshaft… The shaft is badly worn. You can easily feel all of the visible marks. The centering yoke has a small amount of play in the ball and socket joint. The retaining ring...

    Hi, longtime reader and first time poster here. I'm replacing the pinion seal of the Dana 35 rear differential on my 2003 Wrangler X, and I've already removed the 4 bolts on the driveshaft, but it won't budge from there. I've read several threads about it already, and I've tried spraying it...

    After a cross country move a month back my automatic '04 6-cylinder started clicking from the front(at one point during the trip, I was traveling on a bumpy forest road and the vehicle simply stopped moving forward on its own.

    Which SYE and driveshaft should I go with?

    I've been running a 4" rough country lift for a year now and unfortunately have been dealing with the driveline vibration since the angles are off. I have an 06 Golden Eagle with the rear dana 44. Which setup should I go with that's cost effective and won't break the bank?
