Installed my new matrix bumper. Also installed solid rear diff cover. Both were a bit tricky. The matrix didn't seem to come with enought large bolts. The solid diff cover was a pain mostly cause of where it is but it was tricky lining up all the new bolts.
Welcome. I've never seen that colour before. I like it. Good to see you got the factory cross bars for the roof rails. They're not easy to find. As Tom said, welcome to the madness!
Had her rust proofed yesterday. Not a spot of rust on her and want to keep her that way. Going for a road trip to New York next week to visit friends and picking up my Matrix bush guard and solid dif cove. I had sent them to their address in NY, saved me a ton on shipping. Damn shipping to...
I have the iron man 2.5" set up and it's amazing. Don't even need to slow down one little bit over railway crossings. The highway ride is caddy like and it handles the trails with easy. I'm very happy with my purchase.

^^^ Hahaha. Nice. Dropped the Jeep off at my local shop and had them change the U joint this morning. The front one on the rear driveshaft was near death. Two new u joints and it runs smooth as hell. I'll be picking up two spares so when it goes again I'm not out a vehicle for a $12 part...
The "slip joint" (not sure of the technical name) of the drive shaft has a rubber boot over it. Do I remove the rubber boot and pull the drive shaft apart?
Well I picked up a new U joint. I got the retaining pins out at the four points of the U joint on the truck. I unbolted the drive shaft from the rear diff and have been trying to hammer out the U joint while under the Jeep. Not working so well at all. How do I remove the drive shaft from...
Ya I slid underneath and there is a large amount of play in the joint to the point where I can see the shiny parts of the joint when I wiggle the drive shaft. Tons of movement there.
Thanks so much for the advise. That's kinda what I thought. In the great words of Homer Simpson. Doh!
Is this something that goes often in these things? I had it changed at the dealer not that long ago. I think it's time for an upgrade and learn how to change it.
My rear u joint started to vibrate yesterday. Today it was vibrating quite a bit around the 80km/hr range and when I got on the gas. I have a trip tomorrow booked that involves about three hours of driving. An hour and a half there and back. The trip is to go off roading on some trails North...
I'll check the heat shield. I looked under it quickly today to look for a heat shield on the muffler but there isn't one. Lol. I'll check at the front. It did sound like that. Thanks
I noticed today while driving around town I had an odd rattle. It came from underneath from the front half. It only happened when I was on the gas in normal town driving. As soon as I got off the gas pedal the rattle stopped. If I stepped heavy on the gas it would also stop. There is no odd...
