Toasty, I think my cheap AutoZone torque converter is failing in my rebuilt 2002 Gen 3 with the 3.5L motor. Takes a lonnnggg time for the truck to transition from Park to Drive, or even longer from Reverse to Drive or vice vsrsa. Once engaged, it drives well when on on the throttle, but it...

Great thread!

I'm getting a really annoying shake/clunk/rattle/juddering in the steering column. Not sure how to solve it. I am hoping one or more of the replacement joints will do it, but check out this video of the clunking. Also, here is a photo of the steering column, and it easy to flex and jiggle a...

Update 5/3/21: I have sourced some stock Gladitor wheels to replace the heavily scratched up stock aluminum WK wheels. I also did the Pinch-Weld mod inside the front wheel wells. I have ordered HD Springs and shocks from OME for the front and rear. It's taking FOREVER to get the front struts...

Wow I forgot about this thread. Thank you for your offers, both of you. I didn't find quite what I was looking for, but I got close. I found (and purchased) a 2006 Grand Cherokee Limited in dark blue with a rebuilt 5.7L HEMI with under 1,000 miles on the engine. It was also dirt cheap. I...

It might help to have someone in the vehicle also for scale. And more photos of the cab. Potential owner will spend a lot of time in the cab.

Man, they should use your photos for that product. So much better than what is on the website. It's almost like they hate customers with photos so bad.

Progress Update 4/12/21 I removed the seats and cleaned up the interior of the car. There was 15 years of kids' food and stuff poured into the cracks in the backseat, and it was growing....so disgusting. Shampoo'd the headliner, visors, seats, seatbelts, and carpets. So much better now...

Herbie, when I was very actively wheeling, I had kids with me. Young, active kids. The certainty of walking around the vehicle in time to prevent over deflating was non-existent as many times my attention was needed elsewhere. From this experience, I am only interested in a controlled...

A decade ago, I used Stauns on 35" tires on 16" Rims, and they worked okay. I think they typically over deflated (under inflated?) pretty regularly, but my tires were large enough that I didn't care too much if I was between 20 psi or 15 psi. I think being up at altitude effected them also. I...

I am sorry for the loss of the Taco, and the Monty. That's a tough run of luck. I recently thought a similar decision matrix and came up with this: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/project-wk-my-new-srv-sanity-reset-vehicle.224064/ Not a huge aftermarket support, as some of the key...

Bmb1878 - did you need to run the spacers and stud pattern conversion plates because the wheels where from a JL? Does that mean the WK pattern is different? Do you know if the JK is also different? I'm not up to speed on such things these days. Sounds like a Frankenstein lift might be the...

Josh, I just found this site that also offers a number of goodies for the WK: http://thesteelarmadillo.com/cart.php?target=category&category_id=9

Josh, thanks for those links! RainGoat, dropped valve in #4 at 154k miles is exactly what happened to this one. It was at a service shop, and the owner didn't want to put more money into it, and so the service shop rebuilt it and sold it to me. Yeah, they made a profit, but I still can't...

Its been a long time since I had my own Offroad capable vehicle. Kids are off to college and career is looking solid, so it's time. I searched for YEARS looking for a clean 4th gen 4Runner without a sunroof (because I am tall), finally found one the same day I saw this WK. The 4Runner was...

I would suggest a pair of AEV heavy duty progressive rate 3.5" coils

Wow, just found this thread from your For Sale post about the truck. My comments mirror everyone else's. Fantastic photography and awesome trip. I would love to have a truck like this, used in the same way you did. Thanks for posting this trip report and sharing your adventure. It's quite...

Billiebob, I like the idea of a new listing channel for auctions. That way others can post links to cars that aren't actually theirs, but things they've seen that might be relevant to this group here on ExPo.

Mine wouldn’t turn over when I bought it. When I pulled the heads off, I discovered that it had somehow eaten a piston. Monty Restoration

Oh I see, I think you left out a critical detail. You are using the website. I just use the app. I don’t think the issue occurs on the app.
