    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    Doesnt the tcase and driveshaft (yoke) have a master spline? (i forget) ...so theres only one indexing that it fits together?

    Suggestions for a '05 Limited KJ Modest Lift

    RRO had a good price-point on certain items when i bought 10 years ago. Worth checking anyway.

    Suggestions for a '05 Limited KJ Modest Lift

    Mine are RRO. They were mainly for camber correction. I burned off 40% of my new tires at an angle before I got them. With sufficient lift, any upper arm can hit the spring on full-droop (not compression).

    Suggestions for a '05 Limited KJ Modest Lift

    I went with a Teraflex budget-boost kit. Been on for over 100,000km now. The only real catch was I needed aftermarket upper control arms to bring the camber back from eating tires. Anyway, here is an cheaper knockoff of the Teraflex front spacers: https://a.co/d/dq07W6a On the rear I have...

    Have you used the WO180 oil filter on the KJ 3.7?

    I buy the cheapest filters from rockauto. More than half the time they are old stock, or repackaged better brands (Wix, made in USA, etc.)

    Help Me Pick Longer Than Stock Wheel Studs

    Some aftermarket hubs have shorter studs than stock. I think I figured out WJ studs are 1/4" longer than KJ and fit the same.

    Ok, I guess I was asking for it, 4x4 question

    You need the matching tcase shifter. BTDT. Edit: the renegade I bought for parts had the part-time 231. NOT the 242.

    Ride is super stiff

    Torn boomerang bushings is common with lift. Too much angulation on them. I went with JBA's tri-link extension to get it back to level. If I'd had more time to d!cker around I would have built my own version instead of buying.

    2005 KJ drive train questions

    I only rebuilt the one end (@tcase). That's the end the boot usually tears first, and the grease leaves. 317,000km on the shaft now.

    2005 KJ drive train questions

    I rebuilt mine with new CV end off eBay. Rockauto carries them now too.

    2005 KJ drive train questions

    I have both transfer cases. One lacks "full-time". Part-time is the simpler version where the front and rear driveshafts (and axles) and forced to turn at the exact same speed. The full-time mode tcase has a differential to allow different speeds front and rear, which allows for tighter turning...

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    Angles are really close as there are. I have no vibrations. I have no reason to change it.

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    Sounds overkill. I have spare tie-rods, but haven't needed them. Bushings were cheap and fairly easy to change. I've decided I'm not losing fluid fast enough to bother changing anything else yet.

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    Start to finish, i can't say. I had much of the parts jeep in pieces before i pulled the rack. All done on the ground... no lift.

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    I had a leak from the passenger side of the rack too. By the time i got the spare rack pulled from my parts jeep (few months) the leak had stopped. So I'm at 317,000km on the original rack and pump; and one change of the lines (that now leak again). I estimate I add a couple tablespoons of ps...

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    I'm running an '04 auto trans shaft behind the 6spd and np242. Same length.

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    No, because I haven't had issues. I spaced the cradle down to help my lift goals. Spacing the crossmember down was a stab-in-the-dark. Have you considered wear in the tcase output shaft splines, or the sliding yoke? Or the pinion bearings howling/swishing because they're shot?

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    I should add, I have the engine cradle dropped 3/4", and the trans crossmember dropped 1/2".

    Need to replace my 2002 KJ engine

    More like the last 10 years here. Dead trans or dead engine - flip a coin. That"s how I have a spare one for parts!
