New to Jeeps
Pinion different, so r&p will be 30a specific. differential appears to share between the 30 and 30a, as they don't make a specific separate one for the 30a that some recently talked about. thread info for diff- JRB

My journey with the KJ
I'll have to start this post off by saying sorry to Tom and any others that hate wrangler bumpers on libertys, but I just had to get rid of the plastic lol. If anyone feels bad enough, and wants to give me an arb bumper, I'm all for it ;) This is a frankenstein bumper, that started as $40...- JRB

What did you do to your jeep today?
Forever black, its a cheaper option that I've got a year or so out of in the past. It still leaves the plastic porous, so you can still condition it as well. I got it $16 next day on amazon, which was a bonus since I wanted to do it quick, and I have 3 out of 4 renegade flares i'm waiting to put...- JRB

My journey with the KJ
This was just a cheap dye, foreverblack. I've used in the past and got about year if i kept it conditioned before it would start fading. I was considering painting the rubicon flares and other plastics when I get the remaining front piece, I'll write an update what product I end up going with...- JRB

My journey with the KJ
It was time to put the 05 renegade roof rack on. I half arsed the tubes on the roof rack, they got a good scraping down chasing loose paint, but I didn't feather where the paints met/prime/sand. Sanding later and reshooting it out of the wind will be future project. I whole arsed the gaskets...- JRB

Will Patriot wheels fit KJ 2003?
I haven't shopped personally for same lug pattern but different hub size spacers, I would imagine they are out there. Unless wheels are extremely hard to come by in your area, it may be worth waiting a little longer to find some that bolt right up. That being said, when I bought my kj the tires...- JRB

Will Patriot wheels fit KJ 2003?
Double check this to confirm, this was just a quick internet search. If the info i saw is right, smaller hub bore at 67.1mm, i believe we are 71.5 or so. 30-45mm offset, which is ~ 5.2-5.7 bs, which will move them further inward if that info is true, 5" stock bs for kjs- JRB

My journey with the KJ
Managed to get some trim dying done. I have renegade flares waiting to go on, pending finding a pass front flare, so I figured I'd see how I liked the stock trim black.- JRB

Creak/knock from driver's side wheel when turning left.
I'd say next thing to look at is steering rack bushings, maybe they're worn but not worn through, so when you get driving and they warm up and get softer they go from a creak to knock. No fun to have to chase noises, but at least if that ubj boot was torn, that was due for a replacement soon...- JRB

Thoughts?
I say read as much as you can, and ask questions when ya want. No one knows everything getting started. Plus reading new posts with new information helps keep info current, some old threads have old info, luckily with the front bumpstops as klc said can be called directly. Tom knows some great...- JRB

The BatCar
What kind of ball joint press did you end up going with? Rather than me renting one from the hit and miss store, may be nice to own one this time around. I'll be ordering some ball joints soon, are greasable moog's still the lbj's to go with?- JRB

Led upgrade hazard flasher mod
I haven't looked at bulbs in forever, built in resistors now?! That sure makes it easier, and if they are made well enough to live a long time or priced cheap enough to replace, that sure is the all in one stop right there.- JRB

What did you do to your jeep today?
No lift or bigger tires yet, just planning for the future while I have some time to do it now, pounding over the pinch welds. I don't have all tools with me, so it's between the 2 lb brass and a 8 lb sledge. The sledge is working, got the pass side done, but wishing I had my 4 lb'er with me!- JRB

Roof lights vs sun roof
Good to know about the water on the drivers floor is/can also be sunroof related. In case that comes back on mine, I'll check the sunroof drains again. I never got around to cleaning the back two drains, I had quite a bit of unexpected repairs when I first got my kj, I should clean those out...- JRB

Roof lights vs sun roof
@Deb'nKJ Techdad was just pointing out that even if it does not open, and you never plan to, crud can get past the seal then block the drain holes. From there when future water sneaks past, it will eventually overflow the drain channel, into the interior of the car. I know of this as when I...- JRB

What did you do to your jeep today?
If yours is a gasser and bolts are all out, I was able to persuade my front driveshaft/front prop shaft out with a cold chisel and hammer. When you get to removing the differential housing, the bolts holding it in (if they are factory still) were installed backwards, easiest way is to cut them...- JRB
