    Transmission leak

    Have you asked why can't they just replace the pump or its seal? I'd get a second opinion, it sounds very expensive replacing a whole low mileage for a leaking seal. I haven't had to do a seal on my Jeep gearbox so there may be some good reason why they said this, but I'd definitely ask around...

    Looking for a steel back bumper set up

    Looks like a custom one from long ago, there's enough detail in the picture to mock one up from cardboard and wood, it's easier and cheaper than cutting steel for a dummy run. If you can't make it yourself a fab shop would then be able to make it from the template.

    Rear Upper Control Arm Torque Procedure

    You are quite right for normal bushes, unfortunately when they designed the upper arm they put the bushes in the wrong plane for some reason, so clamping on or off load makes little difference, movement eventually just pulls the bush to bits.

    Remove stripped Torx from EGR

    Don't know what the access is like but I usually just weld something to rounded bolts so I can spin them out

    Rear suspension or axle clunk when getting on or off the gas.

    I bought them off Ebay.

    Propshaft for 2.8ltr JK

    Probably a chaffed wire shorting somewhere, ideally you will need to download the manuals and trace the wires. I'd start by taking the engine cover off and having a good look for anything obvious.

    Rear suspension or axle clunk when getting on or off the gas.

    The arms are made of tinfoil, however if you spilt the old bush outer sleeve with a hacksaw you can knock them out without wrecking the arm.

    CRD running hot?

    No issues there then, if anything it's a bit cool.

    Deeke's upper control arms?

    Where did you get them from? Haven't seen any UK sellers offering them. Just fitted a second hand upper on mine, the last one was dead after a year and a half so bolt in ball joints look attractive but JBA's are the same price as gold here!

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    My rear main has a small leak, I see it as built in corrosion protection :cool:

    CRD running hot?

    Seems a little hotter than normal, mine is bolted to the centre of the gauge once it's up to running temperature, however the gauge isn't reading temperature, it's displaying what the ECU tells it so to get a bit more information you'll need to get actual temperature and have a look at what the...

    3/8" Leveling Spacer?

    I've got H&R springs with the weight of the 2.8 Diesel it needed the spacers to give it 20" on a V6 you should get 1 1/2" Mine is a KJ, a KK is very similar front suspension so I guess the results will be the same.

    3/8" Leveling Spacer?

    Yes, I have a pair of 1/4" fitted, the give around 1/2" lift..... however they aren't going to fix shot springs, if you have a low front you really need new springs and probably shocks too. Worn springs give a horrible ride and pound the bumpstops.

    Rear upper control arm wont go in all the way

    I vaguely remember using a couple of jacks to adjust the diff angle and lift it slightly so it slid in.

    265/75R16

    Aren't they a bit fat for stock KJ alloys? I didn't think they were rated for more than a 245?

    exhaust blow?

    Check around the flexible coupling, a new one shouldn't leak but worth checking.

    Coolant leak, full resevoir gone in 24 hours, should I replace water pump?

    I doubt it's the timing cover, they don't normally have anything to do with coolant (I'm not familiar with the engine so general comment! ) It's possible that a leak higher up is running down and looks like it's leaking from there. It's worth assessing the condition of the drive belt and all the...

    Coolant leak, full resevoir gone in 24 hours, should I replace water pump?

    Maybe, the coolant chemistry is usually selected to match the different metals used.

    Coolant leak, full resevoir gone in 24 hours, should I replace water pump?

    I've just watched the video you attached, it looks like a nice easy job compared to the diesel! If you do it just make sure all the seal faces are nice and clean so you don't get any leaks from the gasket.
