Actually i am planning a rear axle swap in the spring. It will be an 8.8 if i cant get my hands on a TJ D44. And that would mean that the ABS would be non-op if i go the 8.8 route. But if it has no effect on braking to keep it as it is now (hoked up, but fuses pulled) id probably be inclined...

Ok so here is the deal, i have a 97 TJ, stock axles for now, 4" lift and 35" tires. I am going to begin replacing the brake lines tonight. I was wondering if removing the abs stuff be just cutting it out of the ststem would improve braking performmance. Well compared to now, where i currently...

how did the jeep ride with these arms? my jeep has a RC 4" lift with fixed tubular lower control arms (typw with the bend in them), the bushings are toast was just going to try to replace them but then saw these and thought they wold be a good upgrade. But i dont want the straight arms to make...

Ok i think i found the noise, i have tubular lower control arms that came with te jeep. well the frame end bushings are totally shot. put a prybar and there was a ton of movement. not to try to figure out what arms they are and if i can replace the bushings or just get new arms.

Thanks for the advice guys. ANd truth be told, it does sound like someone tapping under there with a little hamer...lol. the jeep is sidelined with the broken brake line (long story). but while it has been sitting i have checked a few things. the swaybar endlinks look fine, but ill order new...

oh right the exhaust is a likely potential cause, i ll check tomorrow. its funny how things go, yes in theory, i didnt need to absolutely change the engine mounts, but my brake lines are ally reuted and crusty and needed to be replaced and while ding the drivers side mount i jarred the lines...

Ok so I have been trying to fix this issue for a long time. I have a 97 tj, 4.0, 5 spd. 4" lift and 35" tires. I am getting a kind of thumping sound under me feet when I take off, or when the drivetrain is under a hard load. I have read other posts and it is usually attributed to the...

what kind of mirror relocation brackets? I need a set. how much are you asking?

Ok so i bought a set of bestop 2 piece soft doors in spice for my 97 TJ. Turns out my top isnt spice so i cant use them and im past the point of being able to return them. They are brand new, i only opened the box to see what they looked like. Supertop® Two-Piece Doors by Bestop® I can...

Thanks for that. I thought it looked like they also got support on the top part of the top. I guess that's just so they don't tip out. Hey, thanks for saving me some cash! I should use it towards better brakes...lol

Quick question as I am getting ready to get my soft top on. I want to know if the rear corners of the top are strong enough to support the weight if the top. I want to store the top by leaning it up against my house, keeping the ends off the ground with wood, and holding it In Place with a...

Thanks for the input guys. I did find an 8.8 with 3.55 gears to match mine and an open carrier with the intention of putting that in. But with the 35's I really need better gearing. I will go with 4.88's. What do yoy think of a d30 hi pinion in terms of being stronger than the low pinion...

I forgot to mention that is was for a TJ. Actually, ecgs is where i was planning to get my axle from. I can save over 300 by getting a lockrite instead of a detroit which will help cover the costs of my front axle work. When i spoke to my local professional his estimate was a little higher...

So here is my build plan, i just got a great set of 35" bfg for a steal so now its time to get the axles done. My plan is to run an 8.8 out back. so, i have heard alot that the 8.8 has a weak carrier, so that would make me lean towards a detroit. But with 35's would it be an issue? I would...

The main reason I was leaning towards a stock style top was that I want something where I can filf back the top and go topless easily. I like the frameless tops, the trektop nx being my favorite but from what I can tell, they are awesome for safari mode but more complicated to have the top down...

What about the supertop or rampage complete kit surrounds? They are just metal bars that the Windows velcrow around. I was concerned about leakage. My yj was designed like that and it was hard to keep it dry inside

Anyone have any input or at least personal experience with tops that don't use the factory style door surrounds?

I am in the market for a complete soft top since all I have is a hard top on my tj. My question is about the door surrounds. Are the factory plastic surrounds much better than the style with the metal bars the windows wrap around like n a rampage top or super top?I am wondering because I can...

Wow I can't imagine how come there is so little interest in this bumper! I guess people would rather thinner.metals to have it.come painted? Well if you do eventually get to make these, how would a winch plate fit with it? On my yj, I had a warn front.bumper and a flat winch plate. I drilled...
