  1. Overhaul Part I: Initial Impressions of Steersmarts Yeti XD Tie Rod and Drag Link

    To kick things off: I'm in no way proud of having constantly switched out components more times than as many years that I've had the JT. I'm not looking to compare or see what's best...I just want something that works and fits as advertised. If I swap it out, it's because I'm looking for a...
  2. Adjustable Component Options w/Clamps and Not Jam Nuts

    I'm done with jam nuts. I hate trying to "jam" them down only to have the bar spin and change lengths or get stuck at an odd/extreme angle. I hate the popping that happens after they inevitably come loose. I've been scouring for options that use clamps, with the intent to replace everything...
  3. Has anyone replaced or needed to replace the Transfer Case chain?

    There is a clicking noise that seems to be getting progressively worse, typically when slowing/idling to a stop and especially when going downhill, which I have not been able to pinpoint yet. The closest thing I've been able to find in terms of similar descriptions is a sloppy transfer case...
  4. Possible Electrical Gremlin: Front left turn signal went “out” but came back after restarting

    Full disclosure up-front: I have aftermarket sequential turn signals, along with Diode Dynamics Elite Max headlights which use a pigtail for tapping into DRL and turn signal functionality, and lastly I have spliced into the turn signal lead (in said pigtail, post OEM harness) to feed a...
  5. Fogs/Chase Amber Pods Double As Turn Signals

    I've had 4 amber LED pods on my front bumper and 4 on my roof rack as fog lights and chase lights for some time now. A few months back I got the genius (/s) idea of tapping into them as turn signals. My goal was clear: all 4 front or rear should turn on via the existing switch, or the 2 front...
  6. Clicking when letting off the gas/idling to a stop

    Maybe I have the keywords wrong, but I can't seem to find other reports of this. When I let off the gas at about 25-30mph, I get a clicking sound that is linear with wheel/road speed. This started happening before I completely swapped my drivetrain (it was an unrelated decision, it just...
  7. More Dana Spicer Fun: Front Chromoly Axle Shafts

    An unfortunate follow-up to my rear axle issue. I ordered the front chromoly axle shaft kit which is listed as fitting the "Dana 44 w/Narrow Open Diff", i.e. Overland, i.e. mine. On Dana's site, it is described as fitting "Dana 44™ AdvanTEK® Open Differential" and does not call out as being used...
  8. Dana Spicer Rear Chromoly Axle Shafts

    So despite multiple sites saying the Dana 10043059 fits the JT Overland (i.e. non-Rubi, i.e. Dana 44 AdvanTEK M220 w/Trac-Lok), and ordering the same part number from Northridge and Quadratec (not blaming either btw), and receiving identical shafts (verified by part number on shaft)...the bolt...
  9. Mopar 2" Lift Kit - Free Length & Spring Rate

    As the title suggests, does anyone know the actual free length and spring rate specs of the springs that come in the Mopar 2" lift kit? I'm trying to pair a set of springs with the new Fox 2.5 Performance shocks I bought and trying to gauge how other springs will compare to what I have. I...
  10. DRL/Parking Lamp/Turn Signal wiring/pin-outs

    I know similar topics have been posted, and I've reviewed both of these diagrams: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/JL-Wiring-Diagrams/LAMP-DRL-LEFT-PREMIUM-connector-details.pdf https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/JL-Wiring-Diagrams/LAMP-DRL-RIGHT-PREMIUM-connector-details.pdf My...
  11. Fender Flare w/Factory DRL/sidemarker that isn't Quadratec

    Are there any fender flare options that retain the factory lights, other than Quadratec? Nothing against them specifically, but their approach/design puts the light housing inside the flare. The problem is I have a smoked sidemarker that has a bit of a 3D contour to it and isn't flush like the...
  12. All-Inclusive Suspension/Steering Component Packages?

    tl;dr: wondering what folks are running as far as complete sets. I have been struggling to find a company that does a 16pc kit like Core4x4. Despite my investment, I don't want to just cherry pick and replace a few components...I have a desire for it to be all or none. Maybe not a requirement...
  13. Max Steering Degree (According to cluster/off-road pages)

    Curious what the max steering/turning angle is (provided no altered physical limitations). I’m trying a different approach for a steering stabilizer and I might be hitting the stop on the shock before max turning angle. Seems like my max reading is 38*, and doesn’t appear to be hitting anything...
  14. Combating Steering Stabilizer Fitment Issues

    Ever since replacing my steering components with Core 4x4 stuff (1.75” diameter), I’ve been dealing with clearance issues regarding the stabilizer and drag link. I got to thinking yesterday: is there any reason the stabilizer has to be mounted to the passenger side of the tie rod? What if one...
  15. Core 4x4 Steering Upgrades + Fox TS Stabilizer (w/RockJock Stabilizer Relocation Bracket)

    This may be a very specific set of upgrades/components, but hoping someone has thoughts or maybe has encountered similar issues with beefier components. I have the T4 kit from Core 4x4 (Track Bar, Drag Link, Tie Rod) and the Fox TS Stabilizer. Because the Core 4x4 Tie Rod does not maintain a...
  16. Slop/Clunking in brand new Core 4x4 Track Bar

    When turning the wheels on pavement, this is what I’m seeing. Only thing I can figure is the bushing is already shot, but it has <500 miles. I did have to bend the end link bracket (which the stabilizer relocation bracket attaches to as well) quite a bit to fit in the end link, but I don’t...
  17. Excessive/high-pitched whining with 4H Auto on (5.13 gears)

    I got my truck re-geared some time ago, and initially I felt there was a concerning whining (in 2H) that starts around 60-65mph. I had the shop double check, although I don’t think they really inspected anything. It either finally settled in or I got used to it, as it’s not something I notice...
  18. Core4x4 Endlinks

    I *think* these are relatively new as I didn’t see them when I got my T4 package a few months back, but wondering if anyone is running these yet? The front/rear set comes with 8 matching bolts and nuts, however the rear frame mount on my JT uses a fixed/welded nut which their bolts do not match...
  19. Second guessing myself on wire size for ARB CKMA12 (Single Compressor)

    I'm in the process of redoing all my wiring, and I'm starting to question what is the actual wire gauge size needed to support this compressor. The official tech specs rate the draw at 14.2A under no load, 25.2A under load, and 32.0A max. For this reason, I previously used a 40/30A rated relay...
  20. Go Rhino Tube Doors - Anyone running them?

    Title says all. Northridge has a sale going on, and have been eyeballing tube doors w/mirrors for awhile now. I like the handle design and full-sized mirror on the Rugged Ridge doors better, but the rears are 30+ days out (i.e. out of stock). Go Rhino design is nice, handle still seems...
