do you perhaps have a link?

Hi all, I've done a search, but no luck. Yes, the old window regulator plastic clip problem. Left rear broke for the second time, yesterday. Is there perhaps a 3D printing file available somewhere for this? Getting it shipped to my part of the world (again) is a costly affair. Thanks

Hi all, New Bilstein shocks are in! If I ever have to do it again, I'm selling the Jeep :p:D Took me 11 hours to replace 4 shocks o_O I also replaced the clevis bushes and brake pads so it took some extra time. I'm waiting for the extended bump stops which will only come later, due to...

Hi, No, I did not. Did not think about it. How much of an extension?

Hi all, When I bought the Jeep, one of the things I did was to put a lift kit in and replace the shocks. The front shocks are shot and did not even do 3000 miles. Monroes......never again. I have a kit similar to the one below...

Had to weld a socket to the sump plug to get the oil drained. What a fun morning. The Jeep was last serviced when I bought it (not by me). It was in need of an oil change and other goodies. Get under the car and I find that the oil drain plug is nice and round. #$%%^^%##@! How??!!! Got a new...

Hi all, Is there any specific way to test if the front diff is working as it should when in 4x4? Thanks

Morning, Anybody noticed anything on the KJ or KK. I never knew this, so I've never looked (if it's true) https://www.wkcdjrsedalia.com/research/jeep-easter-eggs.htm

No Bill. KK's are plenty. Just check Gumtree. They are called Cherokee's as well. Just search for 2008-2012 models and you'll find. https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-cars-bakkies/century-city/2010-jeep-cherokee-3-7l-limited-at-silver-with-104000km-available-now/10012119612231012610802009 You can...

Morning all, The clevis bush on the Jeep need replacing. The right side being more shot than the left. You can actually here a "clack, clack sound. I two new bushings from Moog. The Jeep has a 2" lift and I remember, when installing the lift kit, it was a pain to get the strut in and out of...

And were done. The Jeep is running around again. a quick pic of the locker and "new" carrier installed. 20230528_113028 by DeVilliers Buys, on Flickr Backlash and pattern buttoned up. I just need to go test it as the nearest trail.

oooo, I want a guzzler sticker. Where can I buy one online? I don't recall the 2.5in lift I did making a difference, but the bigger tyres and roof rack certainly did.

Hi Bill, I'm also in South Africa. I've use RockAuto.com many times for parts. They ship to SA. Check if they have what you are looking for. Your other option is to get a forwarding mailbox like MyUS.com and ship your parts from any supplier there and the good guys a MyUS will DHL it to your...

Hi all, I see it's been almost a year. After looking almost everywhere I could not find a KJ with an open carrier in my part off the world. Looks like all of them were imported with the Trac-Loc. So, on to option 2. I finally bought a KK rear end. They are available everywhere. It came out...
