My '06 LJ with right around 100k miles on it has started bleeding coolant all down the front and along the bottom of the oil pan. Has to be the thermostat housing, the water pump, or the gaskets for those methinks. Time to do some coolant system work. My questions for the masses here - what...

No codes... Will the stall / stumble actually clear an existing code and reset your emissions tests? I had a wire feeding the computer on my LJ randomly short out that would cause the computer to reset and act like a stumble similar to yours when I stepped on it. Took forever, and 3...

Back when I had 31s on a TJ, I ran 30 to 32 to keep them happy. Now with metric 34s on an LJ, it's 26ish. I agree with badmonkey that overinflation is too common from the factory and shops for mpg reasons, at the expense of traction and increased center wear. And those factory numbers have to...

Well, if those had come up in my search a couple months ago, they'd have been definite contenders. The cheapskate in me is annoyed that Amazon didn't list 'em for me.

Same here, didn't want to spend ungodly amounts on headlights. I just got these from Amazon a month or two ago and like them so far. They make the LJ look like it has sunglasses... HWSTAR 2023 Upgraded 1000% Bright...

The muffler's finally past being patched to pass inspection, so time for some real exhaust work on my LJ.  Looking for parts suggestions from those that have successfully done this for an LJ before, as it's not as easy as it should be to find the right parts online.  I was thinking a stainless...

Got a couple questions for those that know Currie steering better than me. 1. This photo is of the joint on the drag link. Is the wear mark (bump and slightly widened slot) something to be concerned about? 2.  I have one castle nut that's galled beyond usefulness.  Anyone know where I can...

I found this LJ soft top tonight while surfing the interwebz... www.americanconvoy.com What say the J-O masses?  [thumbsup] ?  [headscratch] ?  [laugh] ?  [eek] ?  [puke] ?  [wat] ?

I'm looking to disassemble, clean, and inspect the joints in a set of Currie arms I recently got used (thanks bty34). I need more useful snap-ring pliers than the cheapo small convertible set I have.  What's good and bad out there for the money?  Convertible tips or individual handles?  Are the...

Anyone headed from Jersey to St Louis and feel like helping a fellow jeeper?  I may have a bead on a set of wheels and tires...

Ok all you Carolinians - I'm looking for a little friendly advice.  The family wants to drive to Myrtle Beach from St Louis, and it looks like our time to go will be the first week of August.  I'd have the wife and two boys (8 and 11) in the family truckster (yeah, not the LJ for that long a...

Thanks to this year's awesome 12 days giveaway, I have some sweet rocker armour headed my way courtesy of Next Venture Motorsports!  Merry Christmas to me!  This very unexpected turn of events has me thinking it's about time to fix a couple rust spots (both there and elsewhere on the tub) before...

I'm currently sitting around waiting for a Denver flight that's an hour late, and wondering who'll be in the Fort Collins, CO area Monday or Tuesday.  Anyone want to grab a bite or a beer while I'm in town?
