too late. already hit them with the dremel last night. I just used the sanding wheel not the grinding wheel though. I think it was just a light layer of rust that was keeping my from success. they went on pretty quick after that though. something else I noticed though, is that I pretty much...

Shinin' her up. the tabs are definitely there on the TJ. I guess I'll try to thread them in tonight, but I'm tempted just to take the dremel tool to the hole and ream it out a bit.

Well, it's almost summer time, which means it's time for a fresh coat of wax on the TJ. I really want to buff it out first this time though to clean up some swirl marks and stuff. I'm dreadfully afraid of using the wrong stuff though and doing it wrong and ruining the paint. Does anyone have...

interesting. i don't remember the hole being threaded.

I started installing the JKS disconnects on my 97 TJ last night. Getting the old linkages off was a pain, but I finally got them off after a good hour or so of trying. Anyway, when I tried to install the disconnect pin on the lower bracket, the threaded side of the pin would not fit through...

and again.

PM issues right back at ya!

I just got a new private message today, and there was a little thing at the top of "forum stats" on the right hand side that said "1 new message" so I clicked on it and read my message. but it's not in my pm inbox and there are only the three old messages that I had before. i don't get it. i...

i can't see them either

just sent you a pm

i am currently running the stock links. i have been thinking about putting discos on so i guess this is the perfect opportunity to do so. i'll probably go with the jks models. could the stock ones have blown out because of the 2 inch susp lift I have?

i think i narrowed it down last night. everything looked ok visually, so I started tugging on suspension components last night. everything seemed in order until i got to the driver side of the sway bar. it seemed like there was some play in the mount between the sway bar and the linkage that...

I have a 97 TJ and the guts of my cat completely rotted out and plugged up the exhaust around 73000 miles. It has aftermarket cat back and header so I don't know if that had something to do with it or what. But I replaced it with an $80 high flow piece that I got from a local mod shop. The...

hey all. some weird stuff been happening with my TJ lately. it does this thing where if I'm going about 55, around a turn or if I hit a bump, the thing starts shimmying like crazy and I have to slow her down to about 50 to keep her on the road. i've visually checked the sway bars and just had...

speaking of ricers...on the way into work this morning I saw a newer, 4 door, oldsmobile alero, with a big old aluminum ricer spoiler mounted on the trunk. c'mon folks, it's a freakin' alero! those two things should just never mix.

that's a good call craig. why go through the hassle of taking them off, dealing with the warranty dept at warn, shipping them back, waiting for the replacements, remounting them, and then just scratching them all to hell anyway out on the trail. i hadn't thought of it that way. and even if...

well, I just got off the phone with a customer rep at warn. he was pretty friendly and seems willing to help. he said because of the nature of the part the powdercoating isn't usually covered by warranty, but he gave me his email address and asked me to send him some digital pics of where it's...

so I installed a set of warn rock sliders a little over 3 months ago, haven't even got a chance to get them on the trail yet, and the powercoat is already starting to peel off of them! it doesn't even look like the steel underneath was primed as the bare spots are starting to rust. I'm pretty...

I ordered 5 of the 397s from summit racing last week. they're on backorder until the end of the month, but it was the only place I could find that sold them in 4.75" backspacing. they were also a touch more expensive than quadratec, but like anything, you usually end up having to pay for what...

Isn't stock backspacing on a wrangler like 5.5 inches? It seems really hard to find aftermarket wheels with that kind of backspace. Do the 4" backspaced wheels stick out very far past the flares on a TJ?
