One thing that I wish my head unity would do is work with the Torque app. It's a cool OBD2 reader that allows you to make dashboards and monitor stuff - just the GPS speedometer is pretty useful in itself. You should see if that works with your head unit...

I think I figured out the best way to measure the angle. Right off of the face of the flange. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

Man, I appreciate you pointing this stuff out! This video did a good job of explaining things. He said that you'll want the pinion to be 2, maybe 3 degrees under the shaft, like you said, so that the axle can rotate a tiny bit. Assuming I'm measuring the angles correctly, I think I'm good...

I don't trust myself to have videos playing while I drive. I'd put it right into the ditch.

That is a captive nut. Without that flag / metal bar connected to it, it's much more difficult to get started. Here's what it looks like You're right that the bolt is probably rusted to the bushing sleeve. If it were me, I would throw my impact on the bolt and just send it. You could...

In looking at the photos again, I need to shorten the lowers a bit. not the uppers. I was trying to make the problem worse...

I've struggled to find the right way to measure angles on my Ford 8.8 rear end, but I think I may have it this time. Let me know if there's a better flat surface to measure from. I think I need to shorten my upper control arms a bit. Does that sound right to you guys?. What would a...

Not gonna lie, I've done that. You have to chuck something under the tire before is gets away!

How do you know all these things? Once I took the shroud off the radiator was pretty well plugged up everywhere it covered. I took a long time with the garden hose and a paintbrush and cleaned it out I also got my Tom woods drive shaft installed. There is zero rotational play in this one...

Are you talking about that weird third pedal?

I replaced my 15-year-old engine mount bushings with some brand new brown dog brand bushings. I even gave the mounts a new coat of paint. The old bushings were torn up and the passenger side was wallowed out. Definitely allowing the engine to droop Freshly painted and installed Once...

Hello. I'm gearing up for this year's Jeep Jamboree. Went to Hollerwood KY last year, and it was a blast - looks like that one is still open https://jeepjamboreeusa.com/tripsregister/

The local ATM had a skimmer installed a few months ago - got a bunch of people. I've started tapping my debit card when possible - I have no proof, but it feels a bit more secure.

I keep going back and forth on it, and I can't get a good feel if that's a normal amount of slop or too much. I even priced out a new Tom Woods shaft at $429.. What do you think, is it worth replacing?

I've ordered new rubber mounts, that should be hear in a couple of days, along with my new shroud. I'll probably try to lower the shroud half an inch or so. I've been researching my rear driveshaft, and from what I read a bit of rotational slop between the two halves is to be expected. I'll...

Here's my front lawn. I put down artificial grass a couple of years ago and never looked back. Saves me about 3 minutes of mowing a week. I do have to hit it with a leaf blower every now and then. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

I pulled the rear driveshaft to replace the ujoints, but I'm seeing some play in it. This is a Cherokee front driveshaft that I had cut down by a driveshaft shop several years ago. Does this look like too much play? If I fully extend the shaft, there doesn't appear to be any play...

The fan clutch was replaced last year, but I'll check it out. I've also ordered some new motor mount bushings. Haven't really driven it, once I realized I'd have to take the fan off to get the shroud out, then redo it again later when the parts came in, I decided to wait. I'm going to replace...

I have brown dog extended engine mounts, so I went to roll around under my Jeep and take a look at them when I saw this. I'm not sure if it's the cause or the symptom but it certainly isn't right. I've ordered a new (used) OEM shroud off eBay, but I may try running without one until...

The monkeys are satisfied (for now) - thanks for your help, that could have ended poorly. I haven't really driven it for the last month, I've been rebuilding my front driveshaft and being a general hermit, so I can't speak to the better running though. Funny you ask abound noises though, I...
