    How strong is unistrut?

    I'm looking at adding a rack for my RTT to my 5x8 utility trailer. I wanted something that I could mount the RTT on top of, fit bikes underneath in the future, as well as store things on the trailer itself of course. I have a lead on 1-5/8 in. x 13/16 in. 14ga unistrut, but wasn't sure if it...

    Am I just outdated?

    So, my wife has a 2006 Hemi WK , and we like it. However, it's went into limp mode for the second time in 6 months and won't come out. After scanning it, the code is for shift solenoid a, which is the same solenoid pack I replaced literally less than 6 months ago, and well under 10,000 miles...

    Name that noise!

    So, I just noticed a sound that has gotten worse (I think). It is a grinding noise. It only happens around 45mph and above, and only sporadically when not on the gas. I noticed it more after I fixed a broken trans mount. My set up is as follows: 2001 TJ 242j transfer case with no linkage hooked...

    Best place to get JKUR factory front coils?

    I need a set of factory JKUR front coils. Preferably new take offs or brand new. Do most shops keep the old springs when people lift their stuff? Might call around tomorrow and see if any shops have some laying around for sale....but if anyone knows of a better route, let me know

    ZJ Steering Column in a TJ?

    MY question is about the steering wheel/column. The ZJ had steering wheel contols and cruise. The wheel is basically like new. The TJ has no options and is in less than perfect shape. I was hoping to swap the entire column (so I can gain tilt wheel, and even use my old ZJ key since my TJ...

    3.73 vs 4.10 debate (V8 TJ)

    I recently swapped a 5.9L Magnum motor into my 2001 Wrangler. It was originally a 4cyl, so it has 4.10's with a D30/D35 combo. Obviously that D35 is going to detonate if I keep driving it or the first time I take it off road. I'm getting a 8.8 this weekend probably, and can probably find...

    TJ Magnum Swap Question

    RockAuto Trouble? Need opinions!

    I recently bought 2 wheel bearings (hubs) for the ZJ. I was looking at Timkin, to avoid issue. They had their typical "Privet Label Packaged" listed under Timken for almost $30 less per side. I jumped on 2 of them, of course. When I got them, they are "National Bearing" which has no...

    Less Expo, more fun? Questions on a bike (ATK 250cc)

    I've googled around, and plan to continue to do so, but does anyone know anything about ATK dirt bikes? I've found the history of the company, but I've yet to find a parts supplier or any forums related to them. This was given to me for free from a friend I used to work with...said it runs, but...

    Any junkyarders over in Eurpope??? Part request!

    Anyone over on the other side of the pond frequent junkyards? Looking for a set of ZJ headlights. The European ones are glass, whereas the ones here in the U.S. are plastic. Kolak sells a upgrade kit, but I'm trying to save some money. Obviously I'll compensate you for your time/effort as long...

    Are fairings worth it?

    Currently I have my custom built RTT on my Jeep's factory cross bars. I get little to no road noise from it. Total height of the tent is 7" + ~2" for the ladder. So 9" total as an estimate. Do fairings make a difference in gas mileage? I know driving a giant square, 4x4, v8, with another giant...

    Zj Front Driveshaft question

    So, I have my lift on, sitting at around 5.5" of lift. Rear driveshaft is extended out, but no vibrations at all and I feel comfortable without it being longer. The front driveshaft however is too long. We had to pry the transmission back and put the front diff to get it to go into place. It IS...

    Cost of an Alignment, setting all 8 control arms, and pinion angle?

    I am taking my Jeep to a local 4WD shop with a great reputation. I recently lifted my Jeep 5.5" (3.5" springs, 2" spacers) and put all 8 adjustable control arms on. The shop quoted me $200 to have a full alignment including setting the control arms and setting pinion angle/track bar. Does...

    MOPWR Build

    I've had this Jeep for about 4 years, and I've been saying I'd never change anything about it from stock form because I loved it as it was so much. After putting 20K miles on it in 4 years (not my DD) I decided that for me to not have 4 cars between me and the wife, I was going to have to...

    What do you do with your trailer...when you don't want to tow it on trail?

    I'm sure there would be times, if I had a trailer, where I might ride some trails and then double back past the same location again later in the day. During those trips, I would think it would be better to drop the trailer and come back. I realize the point of building a trailer is to have it...

    How much is too much for cooling? (5.9L ZJ)

    My question is about my 98 5.9L ZJ. I'm currently collecting parts that I needed, and as I recently ran into some info (on here!) that satisfied me, going to be purchasing a lift soon. Anyway, here is my question... the 5.9L already is known for being a furnace, so creating any type of...

    Value this 60 Series for me

    http://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/4882867355.html So, this was offered as a trade for my vehicle (my vehicle is worth about $2500), and I am considering it. I don't know anything about them though. I talked to him, and he said there is some minor rust, nothing more than a spot that is...
