My 2003 Jeep WJ Laredo with a 42RE transmission just hit over 200K miles. As far as I know, the transmission has never been serviced. I purchased this Jeep when it was around 128K. When properly measuring the transmission fluid level (level surface, hot, shift all gears, measure in N), it...

Hey Yall! The other day, my Jeep was sitting on a slight incline with the parking brake on (was running so not in gear) when the parking brake failed and released itself while I was in the house. Long story short, it slowly rolled back about 6 feet and slid against the family truck. The damage...

It's slightly damaged in shipping. I want to get going on my XJ cooling system upgrade but returning this will set me back a week or maybe more. It looks like all the seams are not cracked or other obvious damage that would leak, but I suppose I might not find out until it's under pressure. This...

While installing new bearings onto new 1-piece axles, I failed to notice the inner race was no longer supported while pressing, resulting in bearing damage. I was grinding down the inner race, trying to thin out the back side just enough so I could finish splitting it with a chisel, when I...

Hey guys, just wondering if a bent rim is still drivable. I slid in some snow and hit a curb parallel to it. My rear rim is dented in and cracked a little, tire looks to be a little warped in with the rim, however it still drives normal. Only thing different is my steering wheel is a little...

Looking to pick up an LJ with a salvage title. Got hit in the rear passenger corner lightly, damaged corner of tub and hard top. Rubbed against something on the drivers rocker. Comes with hard and soft top. 200,000 miles. Asking $3500 or best offer. What do you guys think? Damage doesn't look...

I just recently got a new set Good Year Duratracs and I just noticed on one of the rear tires that the treads have slits in them. Almost positive its vandalism, however just want opinions about whether this could have happened differently. Thanks for any input in advance!

This past weekend I installed a Rubicon Express 4.5in superflex lift and ran out of time to install my SYE and CV driveshaft. I get vibes when accelerating and under 40 mostly. I only have to drive it to work 3 days this week and will be installing the Teraflex super short SYE and CV shaft...

Well.... I got stuck, in some bad mud/guck/silt. it was bad. And when the nice man in the F-150 tried to pull me out he ripped my bumper clean off. Then we hooked it up to the frame piece behind the bumper and that too ripped off! Finally after a 2500 cummins and this F-150 hooked up they were...

in sad shape I must say. Priority Mail 17 days. They are beat up, lost all the bolts except 2 and there is 1 loose nut. Pitiful outfit IMO. They claim they are broke. I can see why. The beat up part is ok cause they will have some rakes and scapes shortly after they are installed. But to take...

2013 JK Sport S, 7.5K miles, stock. My friend called me up to ask if I'd come out to his house in the middle of farm country to guide him through installing his new lift. On my way out I felt at ease on the wide open dirt road so I decided 55mph was a good speed to cruise at. Before I know it...

[/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] I-77, just south of Charlotte. Got punted by a Mazda Truck. I have removed the ruined spare and rear tire carrier. While starting to tear it down to try and bang out the damage, I ran into a few snags. 1. Can I/how do I remove the rear bumper to "un-bend" it? While...

Hello everyone! My Jeepster and I got into a crappy accident recently. After learning of the deductible and estimates, I decided to fix it myself, as I thought it was just the bumper. After I finally removed the warped bumper, I came across what I was fearing to see. (I hopefully added the...

For anyone who's interested in how a 1.5 ton XJ holds up to being rammed by a 3 ton range rover, here's how it went down for me this morning: Fist off, how you do not see a Jeep that is lifted 3.5" is beyond me, but the driver of said Range Rover clearly didn't look behind them as they backed...

Wasn't sure which forum to put this in, BUT... When I bought the jeep, it came without a headliner and I've noticed recently that the roof is a little saggy and pops up if you push on it. The two cross members that run along the roof are also slightly bent... Looks as if someone laid a walrus on...

Hey y'all, I was looking at a 2004 rubicon to buy at a dealership, but while test driving, if you turn the wheel all the way one direction the right tire rubs. Why would it be just one size? Now the carfax shows the previous owner had an accident that damaged the right fender. It looks normal...

Who's ever rolled their XJ before? I get **** from my buddy with a CJ-7 all the time cause he's got the stock roll bar and I got nothing but a unibody to keep me from getting flattened. How well can these things stand up to rolling?

I was in a recent accident in my stock 2006 TJ. The other car hit the passenger side door / rocker guard panel. Door is beyond repair and the body shop wants to remove and weld in a new side panel (back corner to front fender). Cowl and fender panel have minor buckle but appear to be...
