Yes, currently using them on 2005 Wrangler. They work great, don't make much noise and are great off road. Much better then the original MTR's.

Edelbrock shocks are good and expensive. They even make the monotube shocks for Rubicon Express.

I belive I did try it without the computer and it did the same thing, guess I'll remove one thing at a time until I find it.

Recently replaced the TPS. Just for information the vehicle has the following upgrades, Edge computer and throttle body, Banks Cold Air system, Banks Headers.

When reving the engine by pedal or throttle body there is a drop off (almost stalls) at about 2600RPM. Seems to drive fine. Is there a rev limiter? Any thoughts on what air/ign/smog/electrical component could cause this?

I just installed the MTR's with Kevlar on 2005 Rubicon and they are quiet on the highway and excelant so far off road.

Don't know if I posted this on the site before so here goes. While installing the TC skid plate I stripped/siezed one of the bolts and the nut plate began turning so I now have two bolts holding the skid plate on the passenger side. Does anyone know of a method to repair/replace this nutplate...

Changed the wheels, Installed the RE 1620 adjustable trackbar and had the vehicle aligned, everything worked out great, just thought I'd follow-up.

What is the best adjustable trackbar? I'm considering the RE model since the lift is made by them.

just installed a Rubicon Express 4.5 lift and I have noticed that the passenger side rear tire is about an inch further out then the drivers side, couple that with wheels that have too much back space on the wheels and you get a tire that rubs the spring mount. I have ordered replacement wheels...

Good to know, now on to the 4.5 RE lift kit. That will be the start of my 4th of July weekend. The lift and tires should wrap up a laundry list of improvements (?) I've put on this thing.

Well the head gasket change seems to have done the trick. The engine is staying about 5 degrees cooler then it ever did and the engine is running great. I am going to upgrade to a better waterpump and thermostat shortly to further improve the cooling and add an electric fan.

I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow. I have to admit that this is one I haven't seen before, but one things for sure, if it's a wierd problem I'll run across it!

I guess I'll find out soon. Should have it back together tomorrow. it was a good opportunity to clean up the engine compartment and take care of all the minor problems. When finished it will have a new headgasket, water pump, thermostat and coolant. If it overheats after that I will be at a...

Took off the head and noticed that the head gasket had some areas where the exhaust might get into the coolant passage. The valves/springs and seals looked good. Took the head to the local machine shop and had it checked for warpage and it was warped in the middle. Had the head resurfaced and...
