PEAK PUTTERS

Oreilly's in Pasco has DANA/Spicer Set10 bearings and seals in stock for a JK 44. May have others. Otherwise I have gotten them from Northridge 4x4.

That was the shocking thing. Drove straight through all the way home. Didn't find them until it was on the lift and had kind of an OS! moment.

Somehow didn't notice the loose upper control arm bolts until we got home. Scary!

On the whole I'd say we came out of it fairly well. The fuel tank took a beating and holds a bit less than it did. Several parts had their rough edges worn off. A sway bar link was bent as well as the axle tab. The link was pounded back to usefulness in the hotel parking lot in Reno.

2009 JKU Rubicon transfer case for sale. It was removed in 2020 when the Jeep was V8 swapped. Ran when parked. Add 4:1 to your Sport or Sahara. Or keep a back up in your shop instead of mine.

$1,750

So far I am impressed with the kit. Other than the custom Teraflex parts (spindles, etc.), it's all off the shelf Spicer stuff you can get at any NAPA.

Of course new wheels HAD to be ordered due to the 8 lug pattern.




All in with wheels and everything I am still ahead of where I would be if I bought a bolt in D60. Next is to gather up all of the take off parts and see what I can recoup back into the budget.

The front replaces the unit bearing with a new spindle and locking hubs.

Locker installed.



And on to the front.

Rear spindle pressed in and retaining plate installed.





Rear hub assembly.

Box of Boxes



Replacement Rubicon locker.



Point of no return. Axle tubes drilled for spindle plug welds.

This is kind of a re-introduction to the Jeep formerly known as Trail Cow. I was looking back at Toby's original build and it has been through many iterations since I adopted it. It's affectionately known as Balloon Animal in our house now. The most recent project started innocently enough. The park...

It's hard to keep up.

Not sure if this is much help, but when I was having electrical gremlins after my engine swap I downloaded wiring diagrams from this site. Big https://portal-diagnostov.com/en/root/rukovodstva-po-remontu-on-line/elektroshemy/jeep/ Do you know what connector/component that harness goes to?

Nicely Done! Wore me out all over again.

I have (2) Firestone MT/2s, 37/12.50R17 tires. About 50% tread. $200 ea.
Current price on discounttiredirect.com is $441.99 ea.

Also have two more that have bead damage but would make shop rollers or really nice tire swings

I for one am shocked! Just SHOCKED!

I had similar issues about a year ago. Ditto Toby's comment on balance etc. It affects DW but doesn't cause it. I replaced control arms with RockJock uppers and lowers and JKS track bar. Iron Rock Offroad makes a press in upper joint for the axle side that is similar to a Johnny Joint. The other thi...

I ran Dyna Beads for while in 37" Firestone MT2s. Worked great for a while but diminished over time. I was daily driving them though.

If anyone knows of a computer tech for the Jeep, I could use one. I'm having can-bus comm issues with my JKUR.

Full disclosure, It also has a 6.0 LS so it needs to be someone not afraid of conversions.

Would be happy to share! Shoot me a message and we'll find a time.

Sold the trailer so I have to wonder... Is it still dry camping if the hotel doesn't have a wet bar?

New WARN winch motor....Good!

Moisture in the winch motor... Bad
