Denver mechanics? Hey all. I'm looking for someone here in Denver that might let me use their garage or driveway to work on my TJ. I'll supply the tools and the beverage of choice if you let me use your space. I'm an apartment dweller with no where to do so much as change my oil. I'm used...

denver mechanics Can anyone recommend a good, honest, cheap mechanic in the Denver, CO area? I'm new here and have been raked over the coals by one shop already. Don't want it to happen again.

Locomotive or TJ? can anyone recommend a good, honest mechanic in the Denver, CO area? I'm new here and have been raked over the coals once already. Don't want it to happen again.

RE: Transfercase rattle on a 99 TJ Hey all. My TJ has been making some weird noise for about a week. It pretty much sounds like a steam locomotive whenever I get up to speed. I think it's something in the drive train but I'm not really sure. It definitely varies with speed. Almost like a...

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but if it was the throw out bearing, wouldn't the sound be more dependent on engine speed? Like wouldn't the "speed" of the whirring drop down every time I shifted gears, since the clutch would be spinning at the same speed as the engine? The noise seems to get...

I should also mention that the noise goes away when I push in the clutch.

my TJ seems to be making some kind of whining/whirring noise from underneath somewhere. it seems to get higher the faster I go...i.e. it seems to be independent of engine speed and what gear I'm in. could it be u-joints or my diffs? just had the fluid replaced in the diffs and it doesn't seem...

that's exactly what it was. the front marker light socket in the fender flare was completely corroded. looks like water got in the lens. i popped out the bulb and scraped out the innards and it's working fine now...except I don't have a front marker light anymore. guess i'll see if I can get...

alcan springs when I turn on my right turn signal and my headlights are off, the dash and radio blink as well as the right arrow but the tail light still blinks. if I turn my headlights on the right turn signal display on the dash stays lit up constantly and when I turn the right turn signal...

I think the tires just might have fixed the problem. I went for a 45 minute drive last night, over the worst roads I could find as well as some highway stretches and didn't get a single shake, shimmy, or wobble! Now if I had only swapped them in the first place and not spent $600 on various...

I'm moving to Denver in a week and a half and might end up towing my Jeep behind the Uhaul. If I end up with one of those tow dollies that gets the front two wheels off the ground is there anything I need to do besides put the transfer case in neutral. U-Haul's site said something about...

whelp, new track bar didn't fix anything. drove 2 hours to pittsburgh this weekend and it was still shaking like crazy. i just got the new kumhos put on this morning, so we'll see what that does. double checked everything yesterday and the front definitely seems tight...in a good way. if...

any way to clean that out? can I take out the zerk and put in a new one or is that permanently attached?

apparently they're not dunlops. they're made by merit tires. here's a link. http://www.tireshopinc.com/pages/tires/mt.html i think i'm going to pass on those and just go for the kumhos

has anyone used/heard of these tires. i local shop has them on sale for $80/tire and i can't find any information on them.

so after putting the new track bar on my jeep last night I decided to lube the chassis. well when I got to the passenger side ball joint on the knuckle the thing would not take grease. I really had to push hard on the handle of the gun to get it to go in. It seems to have taken a bit, but...

put the "new" trackbar on last night. that thing was a pain to put on trying to get the holes to line up. after some creative jacking, finally got it together though. anyway it seems to have improved the problem, i couldn't get it to do the death shimmy last night, but it still wobbles a bit...

control arms look fine. i'm getting a track bar from the local junk yard tonight to see if that helps. i'm also ordering new tires tonight since I need them anyway. hopefully I'll have this quashed by the weekend.

cool site!!! well I watched the track bar as my roommate turned the wheel on my jeep. it does appear that the axle mount does move a little bit, probably, about a sixteenth to eighth of an inch. how much of this is just bushing compression and how much is unhealthy? also, is it possible just...

I'm throwing in the towel. My TJ is still shaking like crazy around 55 mph, especially when I'm slowing down (not necessarily on the brakes) from 60 or so. I've checked everything. The ujoints have been replaced, the track bar is tight, the lower control arms seem tight, the steering...
