X2 I agree with TLCJ5, bed liner in mine and wind/road noise aren't too bad.

Congrats on the new Jeep, welcome to Jeepz.

Wonder how long it took his B***s to sink back down from his throat? That is not a crash I would like to see. Hurts lookin at it....

Did it get any better once everything was warmed up? I have never had that issue but in Fl. we don't get really cold weather.

Welcome to Jeepz

That is exactly why I do all of my own work on the Jeep. If I don't know how to do it I will find a fellow jeeper who does. I would rather spend the $60 on food and beer and strengthen a friendship or make a new one then pay a crooked mechanic. I know there are good honest ones out there but the...

Welcome to Jeepz

Abe, I do not know the answer to that question. I have done some garage engineering to quell the issue right now so that I am free to attack some bigger fish.

If you decide on a rebuild and can afford it, I would recommend a stroker kit to improve HP and torque. It will not assist in the mpg area but will greatly assist the off road portion of jeeping.

Nor am I, I was looking at the potential areas for mounting and the expected/possible stress levels created by wheeling? Front of transmission, rear, center? It almost appears from the picture to be a centering pin or something similar, but I have no idea, Might be better to play it safe and not...

That is insane, I wouldn't want that many hydraulic lines going through rocks, seems to me way too easy to snag a line then your stuck trail fixing it if you can.

Welcome to Jeepz, Would love to ride, but an awful long ride to N.C. P.S. Mine is a 2006 Softtail Duece.

I agree with all of the above, however in Fl with a bimini top I opted for a marine speaker, I also use one on our boat. They are supposedly "waterproof" and sound good.

I am not good at schematics, however, is there a fusible link inline somewhere that may be blown. Also, I had to jump power from an available/spare fuse in my fuseblock for my radio. The factory slot/position would not give me power. You have already determined the blower is good, that would...

where on the transmission is this stud located? I would assume you are correct that you could damage something wheeling without it if it is near the T/C coupler.

I am no pro, but have a question or two: 1. With the heater/blower activated, have you tested on DC volts between the blower/heater ground and the positive voltage wire to the unit? If you have +12VDC at the lead then your ground is good and voltage is getting to the unit. If not you either have...

John, Thanks, yes I will be replacing ALL internal parts as the original are very rusty and or broke. I did find a retainer spring that was broke, so all parts including wheel cylinders will be replaced. Thanks again for all of the input.

Thank you all for the input, I have finally succeeded in removing the drum, shoes are toast, Am going to strip them down and start with all new parts including drums. All e-brake parts are installed correctly, not sure why it did not work, again thank you for all of the advice.
