well, this is actually more of a problem with Chrysler's interpretation of what the "SERVICE CONTRACT" is and how it should be handled. Chrysler has a 3rd party field the phone calls from the customers, but they aren't technical by any means and do not understand that the software required to...

So, my wife and I recently (10/25/08) a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited w 5.7L hemi for our daily driver. We purchased the vehicle from a JEEP dealership and because the mileage was so low (27,500) we were able to qualify for the Chrysler Maximum Care Service Contract (the Chrysler...

Yup, I'd trust Tom's work, so I'd say it was installed by someone competant.. As far as watching Mike on the trail, I actually have only been on the trail with him a couple times before he put his rig to be "converted".. I'm hoping to be on the trail with you guys soon.. maybe elbe.. Rachel...

interesting though.. I have a Reverse cut D30 and running 35"s as you know.. I also have the Yukon gears in it.. 4.56's though.. I (knock on wood) have been running those gears in there now for about 5 1/2 years without any issue.. not sure what the variable between your rig and mine (besides...

My YJ is Sprung over (SOA) and running no track bars at all. Also, my sway bar disconnects are too much of a pain to really be of use, so I leave my sway bar disconnected. I do have a shackle reverse though.. things I've noticed are some of the stuff moneypit already mentioned. My rig is a...

So, the rear output seal around the driveshaft is bad? You'll have to remove the driveshaft to get to the pinion seal. At that time, it's pretty easy to get to the transfer case seal.. The speedo gear sensor on the t-case can be done easily as well. just be careful when removing it to note the...

I know some might hate me for this, but an ATV/ORV sticker that you purchase annually (like oregon has) would be something that I'd be willing to participate in. Something OTHER than the "forest pass" that you use on Evans.. Have the funds collected go towards building and maintaining...

Hmmm.. leaving something sloppy and in pain huh? You have been in the Navy too long haven't you!.. lol

wish I would have known that yesterday.. lol.. I spent the day snow wheeling only to find out all my tires leaked around the beads when aired down.. especially right where les schwab put those bead weights on last time they balanced the tires.. Fawkers. Since I was near north bend though on...

I run mine off my OBA system. I have a 2.5gallon tank on my fenderwell and it's regulated down to 100psi for the solenoids.. I like the fact I can run the arbs all day off the tank for the most part. not a bad failsafe if your oba compressor goes out. I'm going to rig my system so there is a...

My worst experience was seeing a friend roll down the side of liberty and watching not only as him and his passenger get injured.. but his rig gets toasted too.. It all worked out though, and It was great the way we all came together and did what had to be done.. but it was a bad day and a bad...

I wish I would have just coughed up the extra dough for a TJ when I bought my jeep back in '01.. After driving my fiancee's TJ, I'm so coil spring jealous it's not funny.. but I'm almost done with my YJ.. at least, it's got lockers, tires, lift, bumpers, winch... etc.. all the important stuff...

That would be great.. I got the concept down ok and the design for what I want.. the problem is I dont' have the specific tools such as a notcher, Drill & tap (for the heim end of the tube joint), or a decent chop saw to cut tube and such for the bar itself and for the x-member. I do have a...

Well, over time my ford 8.8 I have in my rear now has axle-wrapped the 6 leaf springs I have into the typical S-shape.. It took a long time to do, but nonetheless.. Also, I have noticed wheel hop whenever I'm getting into a high torque situation going up a steep hill or climbing over...

Hmm.. well, with having SOA and shackle reversal, I'm finding that if I get hung up, it's not usually at the shackle anyway.. Is there another option that you might suggest for good SOA springs that perform just as good as the RE's? I liked the RE's too because of the spring keepers they have...
