    Blown Bilstein front shock

    Emailed Marlin a week ago, no response yet. Is he out of the office for a while or something?

    Install Price for JBA Upper Control Arms

    This was the first major thing I did on my KJ myself.... any decent 1/2" socket set will have what you need. Not a bad job to do. Tom's an expert, he can do them in his sleep, but for the mortal I'd say you can do them over a Saturday if it's your first time. Easy job over all.

    Coolant system question! (Blown upper radiator hose)

    Do it when the engine is up to temp... should expand the aluminum more than the steel hex. Take some teflon tape or something and wrap your bit with it to help take up the space from it rounding out. Give the bit a few hits with the sledge to help. Otherwise drilling it out might be the only...

    Front lower control arm bushings consensus

    Any decent shop should be able to do them. Does Mopar still sell the bushings?

    I'm down!!!! Update: allegedly these have a lifetime warranty so I emailed Marlin to see what do to.

    Blown Bilstein front shock

    And are you running boots or not? I always thought boots just kept crap in. Rockauto says they have some Rancho RSXs in stock, those might be worth a shot. Just trying to decide if I want to pony up for OMEs or not because that'll deplete the Rene lift fund....

    Looking for good brake pads and rotors

    I love Centric premium rotors, EBC pads are good. Running Wagner thermoquiet pads and they're not quiet.

    Blown Bilstein front shock

    Another blown Bilstein...probably my 4th one but first front one. Has about 80-90k on it. What else is good for the front shocks? OME? Ironman?

    Can't get rear UCA bracket to align with the axle

    Got it, I put a block of wood under the pinion side of the diff and jacked it up there, lined up and bolts in 30 seconds later. Easy!

    Can't get rear UCA bracket to align with the axle

    Got the new UCA bolted in place with the 2 body mounts but I can't get the rear axle and the ball joint bracket to align. The axle needs to come back like 1/2" to an inch. How do I get them together again? Thanks!

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Sold the XJ and got the old trilink out of the KJ, got the new one held in with one bolt, so good to go by my standards... :D

    Broken sway bar bolt

    Got it out. Had to use heat, vice grips with the jack handle and the BFH. Lots of PB blaster too. I know the sway bar doesn't do much, but I can get the bolts for a buck or two and it's easier to throw it back on than to not be able to fit it in the garbage and trip over it in the garage for 2...

    Wheel well rot/rust

    Do others in your area look similar?

    Wheel well rot/rust

    I've honestly never seen that. I wonder if it's been wrecked. Mines an 05 and has been in WI since 2011, it's spotless.

    Broken sway bar bolt

    It has PB blaster on it now and I'll try heat tomorrow! Thanks so much for getting the bolt specs.

    Broken sway bar bolt

    Trying to replace the rear UCA and snapped off a sway bar bolt... any ideas on how to proceed? tried vice grips without success. There's about 3/4" of thread showing. Also, what are the specs for the bolt? Thanks!

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Check rockauto, or just google mopar wholesale parts.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    And make sure when you get the tstat replaced at your normal mechanic they use HOAT. You'll loose most of the coolant.
