My bad.....Yes obviously I'm thinking long arm here. I've read about the ones with rubber mounted ends being significantly smoother/longer lasting than heim/johnny joints albeit with less articulation (not terribly concerning to me). The poly bushings on my short arm are worn out after only...

Phil.......Agreed, they're a royal pain to get to. Will check out a swivel socket tomorrow and report back. Thanks, man. Jon

Did you try replacing the bulb too, sometimes they can look ok when they're really blown. For 5 bucks you can get a test light and ground the clamp end and push the pointy end in through the insulation to see if a wire's hot. You should see if power's getting to the bulb/fixture before paying...

While trying to isolate an irritating squeak comming from underneath, I noticed that if I grab the tailpipe just as it ducks under the front of the transmission, there's a pretty significant amount of wiggle, like maybe an inch worth. Should that be solid, or is it meant to wiggle like that so...

What about some of that one sided sticky foam?????? It worked on my rattely irritating Tuffy console!

I started with yellow one. I always thought they looked like more fun than the others.

Ok, I've got 2.5 yrs on my 4inch skyjacker short arm lift and it's served me well (after I scrapped the t-case drop brackets and bought a double cardan rear drive line, and adjustable uppers, and an adjustable track bar). However, it's time to bite the bullet and do it right. I'm running 285...

I've searched the archives and can't find what I need. The floorboards on my 05 rubicon are getting warm when I drive. Last week the skid plate was so hot I couldn't touch it after a 2 hr drive. I think I should change transmission and T case fluid but can't find a resource with specs for...

Collin, I aggree with you wholeheartedly. I'm 30 and have worked pretty hard in life to barely afford my 05 Rubicon which I lifted 7 months ago for what I thought was going to be about 900 bucks. Man, I'm still working out kinks and am in to much more than the origional 900; I often wonder why I...

Matt, I have an 05 Rubicon with 4inch lift and run those exact tires 285/75/r16 and at max articulation they just barely miss rubbing. I don't know if a 1.5 inch lift would clear?

Terry, if you want something cheap and easy, have you thought of just picking up a stock one on Craigs List and chopping it to be narrower? There are always a ton of guys who buy a big winch bumper and sell their stock ones for, like 5 dollars?

I've just outfitted with on board air and have run 1/2" ID truck air brake line from front bumper to rear and added quick couplers at both ends for convenience. My tank is now mounted on the driver's side fender inside the cab. I'm a little nervous about having a pressurized tank inside the...

Just left another post elsewhere about a similar topic. Have you tried buying a used top on Craigs list or other web site. Before I found one in perfect shape for 1/2 cost of new, I looked at a lot of others that were like 50-100 bucks after someone had replaced it. Many were in tough shape...

I bought a factory top on Craigs list for about 50% what they were new. It's a beautiful top, no problems. Just be sure you look over a used one really really well, check all the zippers, clips, seams, etc.

I think the MTs are a wise choice. I have BFG ATs on my rubicon and although I've never been not-able to go somewhere because of them, I think a comparable MT looks cooler. If you're really going for floatation, consider a set a Mattracks! Otherwise, I don't think you can really get enough...

Engines need 3 things: Fuel, air, spark. A spark problem with a missing plug, distributor, generator, etc, causes missing and sputtering, but not dropping RMs. If the engine is running smoothly but just ideling down and then peetering out, then it's air or fuel. Assuming that you're air...

John, you forgot to mention that any scratches in the hood can be properly hidden by having a windshild covered with mud, making sure that only the driver's side wiper works, and removing the washer reservoir to make room for an undehood welder. Any scratches not hidable by the preceeding...

I lived for 25 years in the upper Midwest and we get some serious winter action! What makes a good snow/ice tire is the number of edges that contact tera-firma. That's why an AT tire has smaller/more numerous lugs, which translates to more edges on the contact patch. They are not, however, as...

Get a drive shaft with a double cardan joint on the front and a regular 1310 on the rear. The drive shaft should make a straight shot as it bolts up to your differential, however. So...you'll either need shims, or adjustable upper control arms. I would drive it first with the T case drop bracket...
