'tis a sad time for the Green Machine, she inflicted some structural damage. I'll post pictures on the blog soon. On the other hand, since Im picking up the ConnFer rack, mine will be for sale. It will be a nice addition. We'll have to take both on a trail and see who does better.

She lives on. In the meantime we have a 119 page blog to look back on! Hopefully, more good memories to come

It needs a name! Frog 2.0?

Love the stuff. Thought about painting the roof or grille black as an accent. Instead I just touched up my black plastic door trim. Looks brand new and I can wash it time and time again. Just need a min. of 5 coats I'd say. Id stay away from any areas that could be touched or scraped often, like...

Dropped my tran. pan couple days ago and reseated my filter. Felt secure and lined up before I removed it, and ensured it fit snug before I reinstalled. Refilled and test drove. Topped off fluid as req'd (in N) and fluid resides above the add line, same issue. All solenoids read ~13.6 ohms...

How do you explain how it works fine in 4hi and in 4 low in reverse? And before my tranny fluid flush. Still confused

Looks sloppy because the case is off. TC is sealed up and would hurt my pocketbook more than it would help the issue, i believe. Update: I found a hill to truly test the issue on, and it would slip so much in 4low in drive to render it useless, but worked perfect in reverse. I"ll ohm out my...

Ive been jeeping for about 7 years now, and ive had my current jeep for 4. I agree theres nothing that could slip in the T case, but im also confused on how the tranny would be affected by a mode shift. I don't recall any shifting (or noticeable shift) in Drive and 4 low, so this feels and...

Definitely not loose. Remember the shaft is able to move when the cone and back half aren't on. its taught when those are in place. And no, there are no popping or jumping sounds, to me like a clutch or torque converter slipping. If i accelerate quickly it catches fine and I sense nothing wrong...

So I finally gutted my case and reassembled it with the same issue...still slips in 4 low ONLY. It engages and the jeep moves, then slips when u accelerate more. No issues whatsoever in 2 wheel or 4 hi, manual shifted or in D. Im getting very frustrated as I have no clue what it could be. I...

Ah ok, i'll try that when the time comes, thanks for the tip.

Plug is still on the case, no way its coming off without a breaker bar or impact drill. I may find a nice 231C at the local P&P and change my chain thickness to 1.25", and as long as the 213C case fits the 231J I'll have that also ready to install.

Problem remains. Sounds like its internal...

Hope its that easy. Anyone have a part number they've used? Since I'll be in there what else should I inspect or replace?

Hey guys, So I've spent about a solid week searching for this issue on :NAXJA: and google with no luck, so here goes: Late December I did some simple mods to my '01 XJ (auto, 4.0, np231, 105k miles, 4.5'' lift) including a transmission flush and OEM cooler install. I drove it 300 miles back...
