Another EVIC install - NEED HELP !
I had the same issue when I did this with my 06. I dug into my photos and found this: REMOVED I believe that is the correct way to wire it, but going from memory I am not positive. I can check when I get home though, and will update you when I do. EDIT: The above was wrong so I removed it...- mrlavalamp

The KJ is a "perdiddle" now!!
I have the exact ones that jeeplib05 just linked, and I really like them, best bulbs I have used and the only way I could see improving on them would be to change the housing out for a projector. That would require a bit of fabrication and cobbling together as there are none mass produced for...- mrlavalamp

Help on removing oil from block
Seconding the putty knife and solvent. The putty knife I use was the cheapest metal bladed putty knife I could find. the blade is very thin and flexible, which actually makes it cut like a razor blade and gives it some flexibility. When I did mine, the PO (or their mechanic) put it on with...- mrlavalamp

EVIC for '05 Questions..
I dont know about buying one online, hard to trust the information most sellers provide. And then once you have spent your money, getting it back/fixed is just painful. Whatever you do, make sure you get the little pigtail that connects to it. If you dont, your only choice is to go find one...- mrlavalamp

Diagnosing noise
Pretty easy to remove. I would spray it with a rust penetrant let it soak a bit and then simply unbolt each end from the flanges on the diff/ t-case. Might take a little gentle suggestion with a hammer as the flanges are likely rusted together a little. I'm no expert but since you aren't...- mrlavalamp

Diagnosing noise
Do you need to use your 4 wheel drive? I would try removing the front driveshaft and see if the noise is still there. This will also give you the chance to take apart the joint and see what condition it is in. If you go this far with it, you may as well just put in new ones anyways, as...- mrlavalamp

2ohm to 4ohm sound
I had a local car audio place throw in a very basic Kenwood deck. I had the standard head unit, with nothing fancy (infinity/bose/whatever options) All I wanted was to be able to talk hands free through bluetooth, so that was the only feature I really targeted in my search. I think I spent...- mrlavalamp

Improving mpg
I bought a cheap "Cold Air" intake. I noticed a drastic decrease in mileage almost right away, I was cruising at 15 and hadn't reset for a long time. Popped in the CAI, and reset the MPG right away. I left it in 2 weeks, by the end of 2 weeks I was having a hard time keeping it above 13...- mrlavalamp

seeking oem longer rear control arms
I ditched the tri-link extender on my lift. When I had it installed, it broke the casting, happened twice. The first time was with the original extender that came with my lift from JBA. Was rounding a corner at a stop light, and hit the gas only to feel REALLY harsh vibrations and a load slam...- mrlavalamp

crashed my 2007 KJ - should I get another KJ or KK?
Not trying to rub it in, but you also spent 48k on that cookie. I don't know if I could spend that much on something, and be able to play in the dirt with it. It would probably turn into a mall crawler the first couple years if I owned it, mainly because I would be too afraid of scratches...- mrlavalamp

New huy here with a few questions
When I was very young and first getting into trucks, my grandfather told me that for most people 4 wheel drive is a crutch, and can be downright dangerous in the wrong hands. His reasoning was exactly what you said, it boosts driver confidence without actually improving overall driving...- mrlavalamp

WTF spam is WTF...
The best use for SPAM is making Musubi! Spam I can tune out pretty easy, what really grinds my gears are the hijack ads I get when I use my phone to browse this forum.

Calling all Hot climate area members [AC mods?]
I upgraded to HD cooling recently and it made a huge difference. Before upgrading I started by checking AC charge, and the compressor was less than a year old and new not reman. I chose the severe duty fan clutch, same price as heavy duty, and word is it locks at a lower temp. I couldn't...- mrlavalamp

Tow Package...
I can say that 100% it does improve AC performance. Even in the 110 degree heat here, it stays nice and cool after I added HD cooling.- mrlavalamp

What did you do to your jeep today?
Why? I just swapped mine over because those spring clamps were so hard to get off I never want to deal with them again. Seriously, spent half an hour trying to get the lower hose clamp off the thermostat housing. I have never had a screw clamp fail on me. Just to be clear on exactly what...- mrlavalamp

Engine Rebuild advice
+1 on buying a remanned engine, or one from a known runner at a salvage yard. The price tag up front is larger than the rebuild kits, but you will have less downtime, and a better chance of success. This gives you the opportunity to keep the engine you removed and either take it apart for...- mrlavalamp

Need advice, what do I do?
IME, when a mechanic tells you "you need a new engine", they are often making a judgement call to try and spare you some expense. Worst case, they are really busy or lazy and don't want to bother with diagnosing the internals. My b.i.l. is a mechanic and was telling me his boss pushes him to...- mrlavalamp
