There are various thread pitches, typically two main options, so it is possible to find a 10mm nut that does not fit. If the thread pitch is wrong the nut will appear to start threading on and then stop within maybe a quarter turn. As mentioned, the best way to disconnect a battery to stop...

Whether it is a single filter or two half size filters seems to depend on which JT you have. The overall size is the same. You could probably use either the larger single filter or the two half sized filters in either. The thickness of the filter(s) is the same regardless. You could likely put...

It is a two piece filter. Some use a single filter that takes up all the space, but his uses two half size filters that add up to all the space. With only one half size filter it is pretty useless.

If all you have is spacers to level or even slightly raise the vehicles ride height with no added bumpstop extensions you would generally be best off with shocks for stock height. If you have bumpstop extensions you can and should run longer shocks to take advantage of that. The TeraFlex...

Just about all offroad tires we run on Jeeps tend to actually be smaller than their stated size. But in my actual experience BFG KO2's (I have not yet run the KO3) run more smaller than most other brands. As in, a 37" KO2 sitting next to a 37" Nitto RG will be around a half inch smaller than the...

Toe in the Jeep world is usually expressed in inches (or fractions of an inch). That can vary, depending on diameter of the tire. But that is what Jeep people usually use. For a 33" tire total toe should be around 0.4 degrees, or 0.2 degrees for each wheel / tire (or anything that adds up to 0.4...

I don't know what a tie rod gearbox is. Maybe they are talking about the draglink or the steering box. New tie rod (quality aftermarket upgrade) $400~ New front track bar (quality aftermarket upgrade) $420~ Two front shocks (quality aftermarket upgrade) $440~ So, if they are using high quality...

No, I have not had an issue with BFG's not balancing. And BFG's are / have been an OEM tire on Wranglers for years. Clearly some people have issues with them not balancing. But most don't seem to. Balance is balance. It should just be a matter of applying the required amount of weight in the...

Tires can be funny. One person will try the KO2's and hate them, while another will love them. My experience with the KO2's was great. I have tried other tires, but so far the KO2's are the best AT tire I have tried. I have not yet tried the KO3, but assume it will be better. That said, I would...

I would clean that up, then drive it and see where it is coming from. Once it has been blown around like that it is hard to know what the original source is. While normally fluids only drip down, it can be surprising where fluids go once airflow is applied. It could be the breather tube has come...

In an ideal world the radiator cap would be the highpoint of the system and everything else would cascade up to it. But the reality is there are typically other high points in the system where air can collect. That is why many systems have one or more air bleed screws to allow you to bleed the...

Another thing that can cause a pull is a bad brakeline on the side it is pulling to. Jeep brakelines can internally collapse, acting as a one way check valve for brake pressure. When you apply the brakes the pressure goes into the caliper under that pressure. But when you release the brakes the...

No, a shorter upper arm rotates the axle back, adding caster. A shorter lower arm would reduce caster. If you have a longer lower arm it adds caster, but the same basic effect can be had by a shorter upper arm. The upper and lower arms work opposite when it comes to adding or reducing caster. A...

Strange. A shorter upper arm is more caster. More caster doesn't normally make it less stable, it makes it more stable.

In my experience issues with the caliper pins tend to lead to uneven pad wear between the two pads, inner and outer. They can also lead to things like pulling, but usually there will also be a difference in wear. That said, you should always inspect and clean the pins when replacing pads. They...
