    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I did that with grease, before I had gear marking compound. This was also before I learned about doing with some resistance.

    Floor plugs??

    My 05 has some small ones in the front footwell area. They're small and covered with sticky foam rubber. Mine dried out and allowed water in up from the tires on rainy days.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I was lucky with mine. I put the shims back in in exactly the same orientation and it was perfect as I was gonna get it.

    cv axles/large lift

    Some have used spacers to lower the front sub frame that the lca's, front diff, and engine all mount too. I considered it briefly but felt like it would become a messy snowball effect, so I opted for a more reasonable lift. Don't need it anymore top-heavy.

    It was about this time of year I was doing my regear in the driveway, I get what you're saying.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I've replaced the cv axles both ways, it just makes it so easy with everything out of the way. I remove the knuckle, brake, and even the shock. Gives me lots of room to work and none of that is complicated. When I replaced my steering rack bushings it was ridiculously easy, but that's because I...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Not necessary, but in my opinion much easier to get that stuff out of the way. I prefer the more time less fight method rather than workarounds and battles, it's not a speed sport for me.

    Strut Spacers. Are these stock?

    I agree with derekj, if you want to have a spacer there it should be one peice to support the entire mount. Looks to me like the mount may also be bending, hard to tell from picture.

    DIY-PCV-TSB

    It was an update that happened in 2007, so just look for the pcv for that year or later. Let me know if you still don't find it and I'll see what I can do.

    Front Drive Axle

    Pretty easy job really, just messy. There's videos online to be found. Only special tool is snap ring pliers, which can be obtained cheap at the Harbor Freight.

    Hello there!

    First snow this season overnight. Only about an inch or two but looking forward to my drive to work anyway.

    Anyone run tractor tires on their KJ?

    It's been over a year since he's been here...probably killed his kj with tractor tires or one of his other wild ideas.

    How to diagnose a bad front diff?

    Glad you got it figured! Take a look at your engine mounts, likely in similar shape.

    JBAoffroad Upper Control Arm Bushings

    If you do accidentally get a little deep with the Sawzall like I did:eek:. You can fill with jb weld and file and it back into shape. Good write up Ifhoward! Probably didn't need to drill the rubber with your mighty press, but it sure doesn't hurt.

    Bent rear upper control arm

    Sorry, missed you the diff noise. A good place to start is doing a fluid exchange and inspection for any metal shavings. You could also put it on a lift or jack stands let it idle in drive and or have a friend in the driver seat giving it a little throttle. While you try to zero in on the noise...
