I agree. Rear locker offers most climbing traction. I added locking hubs to a YJ with a lock right in the front on a previous rig. For the cost and complexity I have never done it again. I prefer selectable lockers. My current WJ has Aussie locker in rear and varilok in the front. The Aussie...

That oil pressure gauge is a nice feature! With the oil inside the gauge you can keep an eye on how dirty it is getting. I'd call that a benefit!

I am glad you posted a pic of the ujoint. I had no idea what you meant by "installed backwards" before the pic.

I get nothing but red x's on this post, except for one pic.(the one with final ride height)

Compression check at this point would give you more info about condition of engine. If the reason for the original dropped rocker was a dropped valve seat you might identify a continued problem. You said that you rotated the cam and confirmed the rocker was working properly. If I were doing a...

As soon as you turn the key to the run position you will hear a whir or a whine from the rear of the vehicle. It is an electric motor sound that lasts for a second or so. It is distinctive. If you do not hear it, it means the pump is bad or not getting power. Check the fuses and relays first...

You said this is a problem with cylinder #7 so we are talking about the driver side of engine. Correct? Just clarifying. No offense intended. Let's determine fuel first. Did you remove the fuel rail when you removed valve cover? It isn't necessary to remove it but I am curious about fuel...

Let's start with the repair. Did you do it yourself? How did you get the new rocker arm installed? Did you remove the cam? Did you replace all lifter/lash adjusters or just the one? Did you soak them in oil overnight before installing?

Here are a couple of things you can check before pulling the valve cover. 1. Change the spark plugs. I had a similar issue several years ago with my wife's '99. I switched plugs around and tried to get the problem to migrate but the misfire stayed in the same cylinder. New plugs eventually...

I agree. They are more and more diffficult and expensive. I think it is primarily a learning curve. I remember when I didn't think fuel injection was worth the trouble. lol. I would try a transmission shop before the dealer.

Thanks. I don't name my Jeeps. I do grow quite fond of them, but they do not get a name. I prefer the cloth over the leather. I "sink in" to the cloth seats and slide over the leather. The consensus with the family is the same. I had planned to fab the winch plate as well, but for the $250 or...

Of course you are correct. The 4.7 is a one piece seal.

How do you replace the rear main seal without dropping the transmission?

This was my basic list for mine. 3” Iron Rock Offroad Suspension Bilstein 5125 Shocks All new spring isolators front and rear ¾” Spacer up front to accommodate the weight of winch Warn 9.5xp Winch HK Offroad Hidden Winch Plate (This is a very nice piece. I will be making a few modifications)...

I just took this pic of my 242 shifter. This is 2wd. Looks like all the way up is correct.

The reason the pinion makes noise on deceleration is because the loose bearing allows the pinion to move back toward the ring gear when you let off the gas. When you are accelerating or driving the load on the pinion forces the pinion away from the ring gear. If the bearing is loose enough you...

A grinding or growling noise coming from the rear axle upon deceleration is often a rear ujoint or a pinion bearing. Have you had the rear axle apart? Did you have the yoke off? The 8.8 has a crush sleeve for pinion bearing preload. It is possible that the bearing is loose or worn. That is...

Custom arms because I have the parts and like to do the work. They are adjustable. If you are looking for the 4.7HO, it will likely come with quadradrive. This will eliminate the ability to run the Spartan locker without other mods. I swapped in a quadradrive front axle and have tha Aussie in...

I agree with Nwoods regarding rims. Rubicon takeoffs are cheap and plentiful You didn't mention what engine you are running. If you have the V8 you can skip the gear swap. It just isn't needed. Driveshafts have nothing to do with DW. Vibration, yes but DW, no. If you have factory rezeppa...
