Mine and my prep for moab thread on the new to us 2000 TJ

[farrier]

we traded our 2006 charger straight across for it, have stripped off old stickers of course to make room for new wayalife stickers, the windshield stick is already on just don't have a pic of it yet, side stickers are ordered muhaaaaaaaa,


what is the name of this annoying little pos thing, it holds that rod onto the linkage for the transfer or is supposed to but this one is fubar at it, name or suggestions to fix it permanently welcome lol



new shoes and rims to get ride of the stupid wide rims that came with it and the bfgs








the stt pros turned out to be a great choice to replace the bfg's withy, the bfg's had some major issues with wandering which I just put off to being a short wheelbase jeep till the new tires, they got rid of every bad habit I blamed on being short wheelbased

Nice build. I think that thing is called a shifter linkage bushing.

thanks, our auto parts stores here are having issues with it, which is a little weird but they have more issues when I try to get points for my 345 international lol

Thanks again, the name was right if you use napas website instead of real people

Tire and rim sizes? Get the alignment done. If the bfgs were wearing funny causing all sorts of problems, it'll happen again. Been there.

Just 33 x 12.50 x 15's and the weird part was the bfgs didn't show any unusual wear, just weird handling on the highway. The ride difference and the way the jeep handles with the coopers compared to the bfgs is like night and day

That happened to me with the old Cooper SST's I had. Looked inside the tire after the shop pulled it off. The steel belts had slipped. Same thing happened, put new tires on and the issues disappeared!

I used to have a ton of problems with my shift linkage with those stupid things popping out. I switched and got a Novak kit and it is worth every penny! It now goes in and out of 4wd silky smooth!

I'll keep that in mind, I almost just went old school on it with drilling a hole, add a washer and cotter pin and be done with it lol
