    New Year's resolution: Get my KJ back on the road

    So my poor ol' Jeep has been sitting in my garage for the last couple months, unregistered, and in need of a new torque convertor and transmission. I recently acquired a two-wheeled replacement to take over DD duties so that has relegated the KJ to a off-road / hunting / fun / toy vehicle. So...

    How do you remove the mechanical fan?

    OK so I'm replacing my radiator and water pump. Everything is going smooth until I get to the mechanical fan. Can't for the life of me get this thing off. I have been at it for the past two hours and have decided to give it up and see if anyone has any backyard hillbilly way to get this off...

    Radiators

    So the radiator in my ol' heep took a crap yesterday on my way home from work. Need to replace and am looking for opinions on what to buy. I've seen a few threads on here about people having to replace them multiple times, so I don't want one of those ones. :D Napa has one for $160, RockAuto...

    Check engine light: Throwin' codes

    So I got codes: P0562- Battery voltage low P0700- EATX Controller DTC Present / Internal TCM P0740- Torque Converter Clutch, No RPM Drop @ Lockup Not looking fun for me. With some searching it seems P0700 is a generic trans code and therefore P0740 goes along with that. Am I correct...

    Can't get axle nut off

    So, I am doing some work on the ol' girl and need to remove the axle nut. I originally didn't have my front driveshaft in and the axle just spun; didn't think that part through. So I tried having someone step on the brakes, but that was a no go; I could still spin the axle with the brakes...

    Anyone running Hankook DynaPro ATm's?

    Just bought a set of the DynaPro ATm's last week. Was going to buy another set of Treadwrights but the stock of LR C tires were gone for good.

    Broken steering rack

    Ok, so my streak of bad luck is continuing. I was taking it easy driving down some scenic BLM roads earlier today when I hit a rut fairly hard. Nothing really crazy or huge, just a small wash out; something I have done probably 100 times without thinking otherwise. This time the steering...

    Broken spark plug.

    I was changing out the spark plugs on the Liberty and when removing one of them the plug snapped and broke, leaving the threaded end, minus the metal hex collar, in the sparkplug hole. Anyone know how to get this outta there? I have done a little google-in', and it doesn't seem like a bolt...

    Question regarding CV installation and C-Clips

    I'll try to keep this short. Have had a problem with the front end, driver's side. Took it to a shop they said it was the CV. Had them replace it. Noise did not go away. Asked a question on here and it sounded like maybe the hub bearing was bad. That is a $200+ part for the assembly, so I...

    Question, please help.

    Alright, I went to Moab awhile back and messed something up. At first I thought it was the driver's side CV drive axle, but that was replaced today, and the problem still persists. When I am driving I intermittently hear a noise and feel a vibration. It seems to be coming from the driver's...

    Spare Tire Size Question

    Alright, I just ordered some MT/R style tires from Treadwright; I ordered 4 in 245/75/16. I am currently running the same size in Goodyear MT/R's. The difference in height is approximately 2/10 of an inch. If I keep my Goodyear as a spare will I run into problems? I remember someone asking a...

    Went out to the White Tank Mountains the other day with a LJ, TJ, JK, and a XJ. It was an interesting time (you'll see why below)! Had a rock press up the bead causing a loss of air. It managed to re-seat itself no problem, but was scary as he11 hearing a...
