    Front axle thread disaster

    Thank you all. CV axles have both been replaced. New axle nut was 36mm instead of 35mm so that was wonderful..... Also replaced upper control arms as ball joint boots were getting torn up. Finally, for the remaining ball joints, a drill-powered wire brush was all it took to clean up the threads...

    Front axle thread disaster

    Does anyone know the thread specifications for the front axle and font axle nut? I was replacing my hubs and ran into a s***load of problems, one of which being cross threading BOTH axle nuts. I had to buy a new driver's side CV axle assembly, but would like to fix the passenger side threads...

    Please help with headliner....

    If you simply want to get rid of the smell, go to a detail shop that has an ozone generator. They will pump ozone into the jeep for about an hour and eliminate any odor!

    Painted Fender Flares?

    Ahhhh yeah I totally forgot about the bumpers too! And there's no way you'd be able to find a full set of flares and bumpers in a junkyard that aren't destroyed. Guess paint is probably your best option...

    Painted Fender Flares?

    I'm not completely sure if it's possible, but have you considered buying pained flares? Like ones from a KJ limited? You could get them either in your color, or paint them to match. Try a junkyard or eBay!

    ridiculous stealership sticker removal?

    Use a heat gun (or hair dryer) to heat it up, then a plastic razor blade to peel the edges of the sticker off. Make sure you have some liquid on there to somewhat shield your paint. I would use Meguiars "Last Touch". If it's still giving you trouble, throw a light spray of tar remover on...

    What do you clean the door panels & handles with?

    At the shop I work at, we use magic erasers for light scuffs and dirt too. For tougher stuff I usually take a Scotchbrite scour pad and some Meguiars either "Super Degreaser" or "All Purpose Cleaner". Not sure if those are available to consumers or just commercially though. The scour pads...

    Vibration at idle in drive?

    I've had this slight problem ever since I bought the KJ. When I'm at a red light, and I let off the brakes enough for the jeep to start rolling, the whole thing shakes. I'm pretty sure this is not normal, and I'd like to know what is causing it. The shaking is not severe, but feels like...

    WTB: Stock OEM 16" Wheels

    Hey guys! I've been looking around on craigs for some 16" wheels but can't find anything in my area. My KJ came with the 17" aluminum and I can't find any good aggressive snow tires that will fit well w/o lifting. I'd also like a different set for summer and winter. So if anyone has a set...

    WeatherTech Digital Fit Mats

    I wasn't too interested in the deflectors originally but then I got my tint in front, and now I see how they would be useful haha. Saw a set on craigs that was brand new I think for $50 - $70 or so, but didn't think I needed them at the time...

    WeatherTech Digital Fit Mats

    I got my weathertechs a while back for $50 on craigs. That included the two front digital fit mats and a huge rear cargo liner! The cargo liner catches so much crap it's amazing, so much less vacuuming i have to do! :P Here are some pics, they're pretty dusty but are awesome! No more slush...

    Dealer Over Filled The Engine Oil !

    Apparently overfilling the oil can cause high pressure buildup? Overfilled mine after doing an oil change and it started leaking oil everywhere! Turns out it blew apart my oil pressure sending unit. I took it out to replace it and hooked it up to my air compressor and sure as heck a huge...
