Gears and install kit have arrived. The diff cover, spring perches, shock mount tabs, and LSD clutch pack should arrive this week. Yesterday I picked up all the new brake parts (rotors, pads,...

I'll still have a limited slip. If I decide that I don't like that then I can still upgrade later.

I found a guy in a Facebook group that was parting out a XJ local to me. I went by and picked up a parking brake lever and a new center console. I'll need the lever since my XJ didn't come with one....

The original installer didn't use loctite on the locker bits and they backed out, sheered off, stripped out, and the bolt heads got caught in the ring and pinion. The bolt hole the were fixed with...

Being able to ship it is a huge deal that most people (non-military type) wouldn't understand. I guess I need to price it the clutch packs. I just figured that I would use what's on there for now and...

Thanks for weighing in. I value your thoughts on this. I actually thought to myself on Sunday, "I sure wish I had 4.3LXJ phone number..."

Right now I feel like I'm making a good choice.

So last week I noticed a squeaking that eventually turned into a squeakinggrinding by the end of the week. It sounded like brakes and I knew it had been a while since I replaced my front brake pads...

I wish that there was a higher power vehicle mounted unit for that price. I'd buy it up in a heartbeat.

I have heard of the tape measure yagi but I need to do some YouTube research on them.

Now that I've finished school, I need to get back into studying. I made a deal with my wife that she would take the tech exam when I take the general exam. The collapsible yagi is a smart idea.

What I need is that capability when I'm not in Fairbanks. Cell coverage goes to crap just a few miles outside city limits.

Which of these included the most info that would be useful for a ham noob, like myself?

I'm having a hard time figuring out what the BF-9500 can do. If like something like the uv5ra with more power, a remote faceplate for better mounting options, and cross band capability. Oh and APRS...

It's in the XJ. The passenger side didn't work before the install. It's just strange that the switch kills the key buzzer but doesn't turn on the lights. I'll explore it more with a multimeter when I...

Could be, but nothing that makes any sense. No modifications have been made to the switch.

Yes. They also come on when I open the rear hatch.

They do NOT come on when I open the driver or passenger doors.

Do stand thing has started. My dome lights will not turn on when I open the driver or passenger doors. The lights all work correctly when I open the rear hatch and when I twist the dimmer. I thought...

I always find it interesting how podcasts get started and how the hosts end up on the show. Josh, you and Tony put together a top notch show and I'm glad you guys keep it going. Keep up the good...

Glad you're okay. I was down for the count yesterday too. Can't even remember the last time I was that sick.

I totally agree.

I'm going to base my seat bracket design on the kit from Teraflex kit. http://www.teraflex.biz/jk-wrangler-3rd-seat-bracket-kit.html#

I like the Corbeau harness because it seems like a better solution for short people. And it goes over both shoulders. There is also version of the harness with a retractor for the shoulder straps so...

How'd you do the seatbelts? I was planning on getting the Corbeau harness and bolting them too the floor with reinforcements.

Exactly my thoughts

Wait, so how does that vest give me extra room? The other issue I have is that these US spec XJs don't have rear head restraints, which is pretty dangerous. Has anyone retrofit a ZJ seat (with head...

Very nice looking XJ!
