What did you do to your jeep today?
I know what you mean about the V-clamps. According to mechanics near me who do engine swaps new V-clamps should be used when swapping engines - so I bought a couple of new ones at Summit Racing when I swapped the new engine in. But the bloody things wouldn't seal no matter how much I tightened...- TwoBobsKJ

Trailer Brake Controller
Yes, what turblediesel says is correct. On the left side of the footwell behind the cover that hides the hood latch mechanism is a white plastic cover that conceals several relays and fuses. Typically the blue or red wire is coiled up behind that cover though I've also seen it taped to a wire...- TwoBobsKJ

What did you do to your jeep today?
So Prof, what's it doing - or not doing? Will it turn over but not fire? Or is it dead and just clicking? Want to make sure you make it to the tree stand on time :waytogo: EDIT: Never mind. Just saw your post in the general section. We'll chat over there... Bob- TwoBobsKJ

Timken wheel bearing
Yep - that's the correct part. And they are the same so you can just order two of them, one for the right and one for the left. The "L" at the end of the part number has no 'bearing' on which side it goes on (see what I did there...? :happy175: ) I realized after looking at the picture that the...- TwoBobsKJ

What did you do to your jeep today?
Dangit! Forgot about that non-disclosure I signed. Course the 'refreshments' you served at my first visit to Mudd's may have fogged my memory :happy175: Is Saul still at Dewey, Cheetham & Howe??? :gr_grin: Bob- TwoBobsKJ

Major problem shifting from 4WD to 2WD - any ideas?
I second the comment about you being an awesome grandpa - that is so cool! :waytogo: When trying to go into N from 2WD are you pushing the shift lever to the right? In other words, when you pull it up until it stops (which will put it in either Part Time 4WD or Full Time 4WD depending on the...- TwoBobsKJ

Timken wheel bearing
Double-check that the Timkens are for ABS-equipped KJ's. IIRC, I bought two of the same part number for my '03 without ABS since there were no sensor wires to deal with. I'd think for an ABS KJ the parts would be different since the sensor harness is only long enough to be routed one way. Not a...- TwoBobsKJ

What did you do to your jeep today?
That noise you describe is very much like mine when one of them went bad. Kinda sounded like tread noise but it wouldn't go away when I rotated the tires like had happened previously. For some reason the sound didn't change when I went around corners but I finally figured it had to be a bearing...- TwoBobsKJ

What did you do to your jeep today?
Now Tom, you have to 'fess up that you have the NAPA NASCAR pit crew at your disposal for diff swaps, bumper installs and minor things like tire rotations. I hate to let the cat out of the bag but it's time to let everyone in on your secret :happy175::happy175::happy175: :icon_razz: Bob- TwoBobsKJ

Curious about these sliders
I had a customized set of All J's BoulderBars on my KJ. They were a little longer than standard so they stretched from right below the front fender in front of the front door seam to just in front of the rear wheel well. I think All J's still has the print for them so they could make a set for...- TwoBobsKJ

What did you do to your jeep today?
Never had a plow on my KJ, but I absolutely LOVED driving it in the snow. The heater always kept me warm and toasty, the 4WD caused the snow to kick up around all 4 wheels showing the world I had 4WD, and other drivers were always jealous of me. :gr_grin: The XK is equally as good in the snow -...- TwoBobsKJ

What did you do to your jeep today?
You don't have to push your KJ all that hard for this to be an issue. If you go over any kind of bump like railroad tracks, etc. where the load is taken off the front end and then applied forcefully, there's a good chance the shock/spring/clevis assembly goes sideways. You don't have to take...- TwoBobsKJ

Stripped Transmission Drain Plug
Unless I'm going blind that isn't the transmission drain plug at all - that's the drain plug for the front diff. When you get that one out, the replacement (assuming you use the original OEM plug) uses a 3/8" ratchet head to tighten and remove. Just put an extension on your 3/8" ratchet and...- TwoBobsKJ

Is it true that chrysler transmissions have cooling problems?
Funny how the article says the internet is "littered with stories about the 42RLE" but then goes on to talk about the equally awful Ford AXOD tranny - so the 42RLE didn't corner the market on issues. The thing about the web is you don't take time out of your busy day to comment about how WELL...- TwoBobsKJ

Renegade Roof Light Switch
The factory switch went bad on my Renegade and like you I couldn't find another one anywhere. I'd been thinking about a switch panel for running lights on the ARB bumper and then for rear-facing roof lights too. For the factory roof lights you definitely want to wire in a relay - that's a...- TwoBobsKJ
