Yikes! I had a friend whose really nice S10 4x4 got pulled back into a lake after trying to launch a boat which was too big (actually, it was one of your ten thousand!). It was submerged clear up the windows. After it dried out, the thing never ever ran right again. It was one electrical...

The TJ is Chrysler's greatest accomplishment. Period. With the tried and true 4L inline 6, coil springs, round headllights, readily available parts, the the absence of plastic fenders and a V6, it's a hands down winner. I've driven from Seattle clear to Minnesota in mine on two different...

If you're looking to spend under 400, you're likely not going to be using it very much, right? Can't go worng with a mile marker in the 300-400 price range. The only advice I have is spend 15-20 more bucks and buy it from someone local, not a mail order catalog. If you have problems with it...

Matt, let me know if you ever want to get together or swap stories, I'm just 4 miles north of Lacey and try to hit the Cabelas as often as possible! -J

Does anyone have any pictures from under their hood? Pictures which show a re-arrangement of stock pieces to make room for aftermarket stuff? Pictures which show how you've cleaned up extra wires which all connect to the same battery?

Here's another near Mt Rainier.

PS. Here's my jeep, Rex.

I need more room under my hood for some accessories. Is that air intake box necessary, what a space consumer! There looks to be several K&N style intakes which are smaller, but can I just cut off the intake as it crosses the engine compartment from passenger to driver side and put on a filter...

Does anyone have a GEAR seat cover (from SmittyBuilt, the ones with the military like pouches) on a Rubicon high backed seat? I heard they don't fit but wanted them for my Rubi. Thanks for the help.

If it's got a transfer case lowering bracket, I had the same problem after installing my 4" lift. Underneath the body is a linkage which connects the lever to the transfer case. If it's been lifted it should have a flat piece of 1/8 inch metal about the size of a half deck of cards and...

In case you're interested, I have a KargoMaster Kongo Cage and Safarri Basket system. I like it because it works with soft top and hard top and with no top, and all you have to do is undo 2 bolts in the front and the whole thing flips back to remove your top. I've got 4 Hela's on top also...

Corrupt, if my kit came with longer lower arms, do I need to get longer upper arms as well to make the angle of the drive shaft correct. Should I replace the front upper control arms as well, as it seems to me that that angle doesn't quite matter as much due to the length? Any opinions on a...

Anyone else with a 4" lifted rubicon 6spd have problems getting shifter into 6 and R? The shifter bumps not only the decorative piece of the console but also the rubber boot under the console. I had to cut the floor to get into reverse and 6th. I have a big hole in the floor of my rubi now...

Also for your viewing pleasure:

So freebird, basically you've got a 4" short arm with new upper/lowers and adjustable track bars? Did you do the t case lowering kit or did you do the new longer rear cv driveshaft? I had to cut the floor so the shifter would reach R after I put in the t case lowering bracket and I should have...

Freebird2, I had a TJ with 3.73 gears and 31" tires. Now I've upgraded to a Rubicon which has 4.10 gears (lower gears, more power) and have it lifted and with larger tires, as I mentioned in another of your posts. I didn't want anything bigger than 33" as they're tougher to balance, rob your...

I will be interested to know if that helps, please give an update. I lifted my 05 Rubicon 4" and after 2 alignments, rotating tires, and a new adjustible track bar (which did help bring the front axle back perfectly underneath the jeep instead of .75 inches to the right) I still have a very...

I have a 2005 Rubicon with 4" skyjacker short arm lift.and 40,000 mi. There was a very slight shimmy in my steering wheel at 45-55mph so I did some measuring and found my front axle was 3/4 inch to the passenger side (a product of drilling the relocation hole for the stock track bar). So...i...

Mybe your clutch plate needs to be replaced? Really, 1st and R are the only gears that require shifting into from a standstill, which is were clutch wear first starts to show. How many miles on it?

My project Rex 05 Rubicon is comming along nicely, thanks to your help. I am, however, unsatisfied with the transfer case lowering bracket in my 4" lift. The engine sits all kittywampus under the hood and the shifter bumps the back of the console in 2,4, and R. I want to get rid of the T case...
