Nice find! Half doors are great, I've been keeping an eye out for a set for a while now... Personally I'd skip the "dual" stabilizer, as they don't do anything other than catch on rocks and cost more $$$. For storage, if you don't need the back seat, there are some awesome options that give...

What do you mean "will not move"? Like, will you feel it go into gear but when you press the accelerator, LITERALLY nothing happens? Are you getting any transmission/CEL codes? T-case is in good shape and solidly in gear (the t-case shift cable is notorious for jumping off the stud)?

Getting closer... my gas tank skid unfortunately didn't get finished this week, so I've been knocking out some other things on the to-do list that aren't necessarily related to the test-fire, but need to be done anyways. I got the OEM 392JLU trans cooler lines modified (basically cut them off...

I don't know of anyone currently making an off-the-shelf double rzeppa shafts, but I would imagine that any of the major companies would be willing to build one. I actually like the rzeppa design and wish it was adopted more in bigger builds (the stock rzeppa is ~as strong as a 1350).

I vaguely remember this coming up in a different thread... was it you that I was talking to about the better static pressures of a single 17" fan?? In any case, the kydex is a good idea and I may have to order some to make mine! Assuming we're talking about coolant temps, 210-220°F is entirely...

This is often an air damming issue and not something I'd expect a simply grill swap to remedy... What are you running for radiator and fan setup? Do you have all your dam panels in place? That said, no modern Hemi likes to run under 200°F :)

A nice option that I just recently used: https://jeepspeedshop.com/product/trans-cooler-mounts/ These take a Hayden 679/689 cooler (https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hda-679) and are super easy to install.

I'm sure you're familiar, but let's do a quick review for those not familiar with the math... When, T = F x d (I'll stick with simple letters here instead of Greek in case some browsers don't display properly) Where: T = torque F = force from weight/impact/movement d =...

Ehh, I wouldn't go so far as to say "only"... While buying from a trusted brand and following good maintenance/install practices will certainly lower ones risk of failure, I've seen exponentially more spacer failures (on rigs that are wheeled as well as street-only princesses), than stud/hub...

It certainly can argued for or against validly... For me it depends on the rig. On a JKU, where the arm geometry is pretty decent and has well-established geometry post-lift, I wouldn't have much concern. The 10,000's of JKU's rolling out of the dealership with factory Mopar 2" Fox Lift Kits...

I went back and cleaned up all the wiring for the transmission and shifter. I ended up using a small aluminum plate under the glove box to hold a small Painless 3-circuit (2 IGN/1 Hot) fuse box and relay, as well as the OBD-II Data Link port (this is used ONLY for the trans): The angle of the...

No - your caster angle is the difference between true 0° and imaginary line that runs through your balljoints centerline when viewed from the side. Assuming that your Jeep is on level ground, you can reference the ground to "zero out" your angle finder, then put the same finder on top of the...

Caster is measured against true vertical. Assuming your angle finder was zero'ed out appropriately, it's very likely the cause of your vibrations. On a JK, caster angle and pinion angle share a fixed, inverse relationship. This is because the inner "C"s and differential housing are welded...

Some good news - I was able to test crank (not start, just crank!) the engine! I got the C3 connector (the body harness portion of the ECM wiring) updated with the wires from the JSS harness... I gotta say, these aren't nearly as tough as the older JTEC connectors. These broke and I was even...

Well, what I was afraid of has happened - the delays have pushed the Hemi swap into the spring and into my second busiest time of the year. Between leagues shoots, team coverage, and end-of-the-school-year activities to cover (e.g. prom, graduation, etc), the Jeep unfortunately gets pushed down...
