    Dash handle delete

    if you're anything like me, you have knees and you hate this handle. Not all kj's had them, but my 2005 did. I feel like I have to apologize everytime sometimes gets in the passenger seat. So here's the fix. First, find a donor at the wrecking yard preferably with the same interior color and get...

    DIY-PCV-TSB

    I know this really isn't anything new, but I also know some of the parts are not available. So I got this done for the price of the new PCV valve about $20 and about $4 for a set of 2 coolant bypass plugs. before this is section that "T"s into the hose from the air box back to right head under...

    3.73 front diff and other stuff

    I've got a pile of leftovers. Diff is fully functional except a leaking seal. Came out of a 2005 with 165000 ish miles. The carriers are out of a 2004, but I wouldn't recommend using the rear one for anything but a paper weight or maybe the spider or side gears. I also have a pair of rear...

    Replacing left side inner cv axle boot

    I Decided to replace just the boot instead of the entire axle since it's the left side and doesn't wear like the other side with the intermediate shaft. once I removed the axle from the jeep I used an angle grinder to cut the metal bands of the boot without scarring the parts you'll be keeping...

    Check engine light after hard braking

    Last night I had to do a full pressure stand on the brake hard stop to avoid an accident. It was scary considering I just got the jeep back together. I got back up to about 65 maybe a minute later and felt a hiccup, almost like I hit a bump, then another minute later the whole Jeep is shaking...

    Engine and transmission mounts.

    So, I need to replace engine and transmission mounts. Drivers side (left) is torn and transmission mount is collapsed. I know Mopar has always been the recommended for this, but in looking around most sources say they're discontinued. Which leads me to think that if I ordered Mopar I would get...

    Diff and axle hunting

    I'm on the hunt for 4.10s for my 05 with 3 wire abs. Questions; if i find one with drum brakes my discs can be swapped to that axle if needed? If i find one without abs it still has the speed sensor in the pumpkin, I imagine that means it has a similar tone ring, or will the tone ring need...

    Spartan helical diff

    anyone have any experience with, or thoughts on the spartan helical diff. It seems similar to the DTT, but can be purchased for less. Some sources say it fits a liberty while other's can neither confirm on deny it. In our dana 30a axles is it just the ring and pinion that's unique or the diff...

    2005 3.7 parts

    I have an opportunity to grab a stock 2005 sport 3.7 with a blown engine. What kind of parts would the group be interested in and how much would you pay for said parts. It's white and cosmetically in great shape. I'm considering just a couple of bits and peices for myself and would want to move...

    The great ball joint debate

    Hello friends, I know this has been discussed many times before, but my curiosity got the better of me. The most recommended K3199 for earlier and the K80767 for later year moog ball joints. Length of stud seemed to be the only difference noted. I wanted to know where exactly that difference...

    New bushings on jba arms

    Looks like they got some new bushings in jba uca's. Does anyone know if they are backwards compatible? Other thoughts? If they fit the toughest thing would be adding the grease nipple, which wouldn't be tough. https://jbaoffroad.com/jba-tc-69000-uca-bushing-kit.html

    Offset spare to the left

    I'm toying with an idea. I need the food folks here to either talk me out of it cuz it's a bad idea, or tell me some potential problems I may not have considered. I've considered two possible scenarios. 1st, simply moving the mount on the rear gate. Using the left studs for the right side of the...

    Mixing Hoats?

    I've got Mopar hoat now, refreshed recently. My water pump is seeping a bit so I'll be replacing that very soon. Question is how well does the zerex go-5 mix if I decide to telling with it? Is a flush suggested if I'm switching coolant brand? Thanks

    Trans mount

    Looks like I'm gonna need to replace the trans mount. First off, if this mount is bad is it likely the engine mounts are as well? They're harder to get a good look at. Also I'm finding the trans mount difficult to find in the Mopar brand name, and when I do they're $300ish compared to $50ish. Is...

    16x7 4inch bs

    I'm running stock steel wheels, and would like to get them to move out some without using spacers if possible. Tires are nearly new (245/75 16) so I don't want to go replacing them just yet. I keep seeing 16x7 wheels with 4 inch back space suggested in various posts, but I can't seem to find any...

    Unmolested 02

    There's an 02 at the wrecking yard near me. It looks completely unmolested and complete, short tires. I didn't ask what was wrong with it as I didn't have time, but there was nothing obvious. If venture a guess to engine or trans problem. But I could find out if someone is interested. I just...

    3rd cv axle in a couple months

    A month or so ago I replaced right side cv axle and intermediate shaft. On the first one the c clip didn't hold axle to shaft and destroyed both, thankfully I was able to get both replaced under warranty. Now on the replacement axle the inner boot is spitting grease. To answer questions before...

    Timken wheel bearing

    So timkens are the ones to get right? My real question is most others are specific right or left, timken seems to one that fits both right or left? Is it just a difference of the direction abs wire exits?
