Manifold

I took my Jeep to the dealership to have the manifold gasket replaced. Turned out the manifold itself was cracked!! Dealership is replacing it under the lifetime powertrain warranty! Only have 54,000 miles on it!

Well after almost two years of whining & nagging, I finally got the wife to let me add a little lift to the JK and get bigger tires.
It's not much, but hey, I got something! Teraflex 2.5 BB w/ Nitto Trail Grapplers (35x12.50x17).

Love the Jeep Green!!!

What size tires are those? I take it you will run the same tires after the 4" lift is installed? Can't wait to see the pics of it after the lift?

They are BFG KM2 285/75r16s. Your right about the lift, I'll be running them for awhile with the lift. I'm sure they will look small but I'm saving for shafts, gears, bracing for the axles.

ARB & Alloy Shafts

While out running with the boys I heard a loud metallic snapping noise. This was followed by a lot of grinding on the drive home.

I pulled the axles and found them in tact. I then towed the JEEP to my buddy's shop and found some carnage. The one spider gear was split in 2 and the other was ground down to a nubb. The carrier is cracked.

The ARB will be replacing the factory trak loc, as will the Superior Evolution shafts. The gear set is being replaced as there was some collateral damage there too...

I love this hobby....
