We’ve all experienced the "joys" of owning a Jeep. One of the not-so-pleasant joys comes in the form of little, or large, oil spots on your driveway. The most common cause is the rear main seal. Whether you have an 88 XJ or a 2002 TJ, this problem plagues Jeeps young and old.
I always wanted to add bigger axles on my CJ, so when a friend, Dave Karbo, offered a Scout Dana 44 rear with a matching front Dana 30, I could not resist. I was not too crazy about keeping a Dana 30 in the front, but I wanted the rear 44 and having matching axle widths was a must.
After some searching, I could find only ONE article pertaining to installing an aftermarket Air Conditioning Kit in a YJ Jeep Wrangler. Those of you that live in the south, and do not want to go topless for the entire summer, know how important A/C can be (yes, you can start flaming now about how hardcore you are and that you don’t need air conditioning. Jerks.)
We were looking for some extra traction on the ‘99 Wrangler, so we went with Detroit’s EZ Locker. The decision was made much easier since we got the locker used and, well…really cheap! If you don’t know how to find the open end of a combination wrench, you should probably have a pro install your locker for you.
When we started out our TJ modifications with some homemade rocker protection, a cage, budget boost lift, and some 33s, we didn’t plan on building this Jeep for the big stuff. It’s a daily driver, so we figured we couldn’t get too radical anyway.
