What did you do to your jeep today?
My jeep came with cooper discoverer atw's, they're maybe a snow tire? That's what I was told, not sure if its true; only ice/snow I've been in slid me off the road and into the curb. 2K in repairs later I'm back on the road albeit I did upgrade the suspension when I fixed it. I'm running...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
Just got my front OME shocks and springs today. Should I replace the upper mounts and isolators at the same time or just reuse the old ones? The lower bushings look worn, and I've heard that if you replace one piece then you should replace all of them. If so, what brand(s) and part numbers...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
The lower front struts mount bushings seem to be collapsing. Can I replace those without replacing the whole lower arm? Do I need to reuse my upper mount and isolators when I install an OME lift?- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
I just installed my OME rear springs and shocks. Very simple installation as I finished repairing from my wreck. Looks great, thanks to all who recommended the part numbers as well as where to find them. Axle, brakes, control arms are all set! There's a slight drift to the right while driving...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
I'm replacing an axle shaft and diff cover on short notice. The 75w-140 valvoline diff fluid says it contains a limited slip additive so it can work on any diff. Since I have the Trac-Lok differential should I add an LSD additive anyway, or just trust the valvoline to be fine? I'm usually...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
I was planning a suspension upgrade already, so I'll probably be getting OME springs and shocks. I'll check on the control arms, should I just get Mopar ones? they're pretty cheap on rockauto. The axle housing has a small dent at the end of the housing and the lower portion of the shock mount is...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
While y'all enjoy the heat, I slid out on the ice yesterday and snapped the rear axle shaft, in addition to bending the rotor, wheel, shock, and lower rear control arm on the drivers side. Where do I get good replacement parts? I'm at 119k and I don't want rusty high mileage replacements. Also...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yes, technically its just the Rzeppa joint on the transfer case side of the front driveshaft. It had been clicking/ rattling in 4WD but I never actually pinpointed where it was coming from; now the joint blew out completely.- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
My front driveshaft between the transfer case and the front diff just went. The only replacement that I found is from StandardGearUSA; the size is correct and the description matches, but the picture doesn't match. My shaft measures 20" weld-to-weld on the tubing. Should I ignore the picture and...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
Gotcha so far. Does it matter specifically which front struts I use? What's wrong with the 265? Too wide for 7" rims? What about 255? I flex tested the suspension in the current setup and the rear is definitely hitting the bump stops, but the front doesn't hit at all. Is that because of the...- Btownpreacher

What did you do to your jeep today?
This is my first time posting on KJforums. I just bought a 2005 KJ, CRD LIMITED, with 117k miles. Got a great history with clean carfax and perfect maintenance which I will continue myself. It's in wonderful condition, inside and outside; I just took it on a 1500 mile road trip and it performed...- Btownpreacher
