'02 TJ with i4 -- Mid Life Crisis

[etk300ex]

I used a company, they came to my house and did it.  It may have been safelite.  Your welcome for all this help

[Wingman]

Most places have a mobile service.  Just a matter of calling and setting up an appointment.  May take a day to get the glass...

DubT had a gasket issue that resulted in a rotten windshield frame. Not sure of root cause or company.

just an FYI on windshield frame replacement...

as mike said.. if you have rotted or rusted windshield frame they may not replace if they can’t guarantee safety or a good seal..
simple glass ends up needing a new windshield frame…  if that’s the case..

Jeepglass.com

shipped as a bolt on unit.. in body match color

No rust that I can see. I think the frame may be a replacement. I'll triple check before scheduling with anyone.


The hinges though... Those need some cosmetic help.

I used Mr glass before and turned out good and real cheap. It's like another $20 to have them come to you instead of bringing the vehicle to them

Mike (m4wd mike),


I have developed a squeak in the drive train with the following characteristics
* Only present when transmission is in gear and clutch is out.
* Higher RPM increases rate of squeak.
* If drive train "pressure" is removed (let up on gas, disengage clutch) squeak vanishes.


I first noticed it at Rausch. It went away until about 3 days ago. Now it is constant and present in all RPM ranges. I can't find it with the car up on jacks. Any suggestions before I drop it off on your doorstep?

sounds like a drive shaft ujoint is dry

[mr.mindless]

If any of those are CV joints, they are better squeakers if the center pin dries up. not sure if any are CVs on that unit, I'm thinking no

[KingtheZJ]

front shaft, tcase end should be a double cardan. yes, those love to dry up.

can pull the front shaft to trouble shoot that.

MLC spent a bit of time at M4 last night. Looks like the CV on the rear axle is toast. Looking for an east side shop to do a rebuild (that's what I need, right Mike?). On the plus side, I have a nicer-than stock driveshaft that will now be good to go for spring Rausch trips.

Needs a full CV rebuild, should get a rear joint just because, and spin balance

[jaysenodell]

Rear wheels are no longer connected to the engine.

Thanks to some tips from Mike I only injured myself 7 or so times. There's a reason I normally pay others to do this type of work.


Off to Scottsville.

[jaysenodell]

Fixed. So is micro death wobble and steering wheel direction.

[jaysenodell]

Need advice on tub "repair".


It is in pretty good shape. A few dents and surface rust. One area that concerns me is the rear passenger corner. There is rust "bubble" just forward of the roll cage. It isn't flaking, but is clearly deep in the metal. no rus is visible outside (wheel well). Do I just knock it off and bondo it or do i need to take more drastic measures.


It doesn't appear to go under the roll cage mount...
