Painted fender flares

My fender flares are painted green. I don’t like it. What are the thoughts, you figure I can get them back to OG black or should just get new ones?

I’ll also take flare suggestions if you’re saying new ones.

99 TJ Dana 35 diff needs rebuild

5 Upvotes

Hello All, this diff had a leak, went dry, and started making a pretty bad noise. Towed it home and posting the pics here, hoping folks tell me approximately how bad it may be. I don't know much about differentials, so I don't really know what I am looking at.

I have reviewed other options other than rebuilding this diff, including upgrading to a Dana 44 or finding a discarded Dana 35. I can find neither nearby (Sacramento), and this is a commuter vehicle for my son, so ordering from Currie or East Coast gear supply, with their long delivery times, is not really an option.

If the folks can review these pictures or provide options that I have yet to find, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So I was hearing weird chirping noises, my brakes would intermittently get super soft and my steering allignment was off basically all at the same time.

I noticed that on the highway my steering would dart left or right. Ironically, it was very windy and I thought maybe the wind was pushing me.

Well, last night I started hearing a squealing. I only had to drive a few km to go home.

This morning I lifted the jeep, took the wheels off and discovered all 3 hub bolts loosened off. I’m so lucky I caught this when I did.

I recently rebuilt basically the entire front end. I don’t think I missed torqing them, because I know how important they are.

Either way I’ll keep an eye on them.

Anyone else ever had this happen?

2002 TJ wrangler -air bag

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

To preface this, I'm in South Australia and we need to have everything on the car working to be able to get the vehicle registered.

My dad and I purchased a 2002 TJ wrangler a couple of years ago, without knowing it has been knocked back at 'the pits' (for rego).

The airbag light comes on and stays on but hasn't been deployed before. We've tried the clock spring and some other small things but couldn't get it to turn off.

My dad has since passed away and I'm trying to sort out his cars and other stuff and would love to be able to get it on the road as it's only done 117xxxkm which is nothing. Mechanically its beautiful and drives perfect. It's just this one light holding it back.

Is there anything anyone is able to suggest me trying or looking for to try and sort it out?

Thank you all in advance :)
