    Tie rod went snap, crackle, and pop

    …when I sent it up the hill pictured. I was able to do a trail fix and get back to civilization. Has anyone upgraded to the Rusty’s Off-road kit? Impressions of it? Got a promo code? 😎 Other brands to check out for steering upgrades?

    What’s in your YJ new parts stockpile?

    Quality parts availability seems to be getting a bit harder. I am starting to collect a few new parts for the years ahead to have on hand. In particular decent fuel pumps and distributors are getting rarer. What parts are you hoarding, if any?

    Failed CA Smog

    Unfortunately my 1992 2.5L failed CA smog today, due to high NO (see pic). Anyone have experience with lowering these numbers. The shop said they think it may be due to an exhaust or manifold leak and we’re willing to confirm this for a $250 diagnostic fee where they would put peanut oil smoke...

    Rear tow hook

    Please post pics on where you have installed one on your yj and if it is on the left or right side. Any options that don’t involve dropping the fuel tank in order to drill frame holes? Any existing holes for bolts? Thanks.

    Auto won’t shift from first to second…

    …my 1993 automatic 2.5 L is having trouble shifting from first to second gear. Fluid is full. It was slipping for a bit. It pretty much just violently shakes when it tries to go to second.

    Rear shock relocation brackets

    My Jeep has what look to be 10+ year old rancho 9000 shocks on it that are toast. Went ahead and picked up a set of 5000’s. When I took the old shocks off there was a huge dent in the shock tube about 2/3 of the way down where it appears to have been hitting the axel and caused them to fail...
