Re: Transmission help.

You really ought to determine the real cause of the noise before you start replacing parts. I have a set of inspection tires you can use that are quieter to help locate the noise. Tcase & tranny fluid levels? Slop in front DS? Front R&P? Front U-Joints? Swapping out the AX-5 tranny and/or t...

Transmission help.

So about a year ago my tj started making a driveline noise while in 2wd, it goes away in 4wd, sounds like I have mud tires on, but I don't. So far, no one has been able to diagnose it definitively. Recently I've started to hear a clunking noise when engaging first gear. seems to go away after things...

Re: gas tank skid plate recomendation

I bought the TJ almost 10 years ago before my affection for bright colors developed. I always found looking under vehicles and in engine compartments booring since everything is generally black or rust colored. I think the different colors will make it more interesting. Color coding is fun. my vaccu...

Re: gas tank skid plate recomendation

Ordered a Rokmen. should be here soon. Only comes in a Bare Metal. So i'm going to bring it to a frinds farm where we're going to paint it orange with some crazy expensive activated polyurathane paints he has. are the tank straps pretty common items? I called 2 napas in my area and they said they ha...

Re: ebay jeep parts seller recommendation

even after reading that thread, I'll stand by my recommendation. I agree it's not a conventional business. But they are very busy, and you can certainly get a good deal, but don't expect it to be a NAPA. while I was there they were stripping a tj that was in a collision and an older cherokee. and th...

gas tank skid plate recomendation

So last tuesday I was rear-ended in the TJ. The car slid right under the bumper and smooshed in the gas tank/ exhaust/ and dented a rear shock. So I figured now is the perfect time to put in a skid plate, since it all has to come out anyways. And since there should be at least a little insurance mon...

Re: Shameless plug for U-Do-It in Nashua

So I'm getting in on this thread late. I Have a garage (heated, no lift, but it does have air tools) about 500 feet from U-Do-It in Nashua. it's attached to one of my rental properties. If anyone breaks something and needs a place to put a jeep, out of a rented bay, while parts are sourced, I have a...
