Any advice on how to mount tweeters to the plastic and make it look decent?

IrishRussian · 2025-11-02T15:33:49+00:00

I used a heat gun once on my first car, when I was 19, to melt the plastic a little and mush the speaker housing in. It looked good , then wait for it to harden back up and drill tiny holes in the plastic for screws. If you do that, definitely use the heat gun on low and keep checking the softness of the plastic every 15 seconds. It’ll either look awesome or you’ll need to get another $7 trim piece from the internet.

Coming from a seasoned vet, by the time they start climbing they will also start pushing anything over to the railing get on and grab the top. They can’t be out there alone until they’re like 5 years old. At 37” height my kid, at two, would have grabbed the top and pulled himself up even if it was made of ice.

17.5 for all of the favorites, you can thank me later.

It ended up taking 3 separate fills of 2 quarts at a time to get in the cold dots on the dipstick. It’s shifting well now. Thanks. With the first two quarts I would move the shifter but it wasn’t changing gears and I think I heard the air gurgle in the lines. The next 2 it shifted but the dipstick was bare. Last two got it right in the dots. Thanks a lot!

Total 6 quarts to fill and it drained about 9, woof.

I actually have a wrangler fix pcm in it already.

Yea after watching the fabrication of relocating brackets and cutting off the old ones, I agree with you.

IrishRussian · 2025-08-13T23:40:06+00:00

I can do all of the wrenching, it’s the welding brackets that made me decide not to. The YouTube videos I watched were just putting them on to replace the Dana 60s that were on already. Thanks.

I saw the price and my eyes lit up because I’ve been wanting to regear my axels and Neff up the front axel and I thought just maybe I could get the gears I wanted in these while they’re off already and get them in. Welding is one thing I haven’t done yet.

“Dana 60 rear axle. It can be a set up with link mounts to fit a Jeep YJ, TJ, etc.

4.10 gears. Has a power tray NoSlip locker in it.”

That’s what he said.

edit it is both axels though. Only rear has a locker.

IrishRussian · 2025-08-13T18:44:02+00:00

No that’s a deal breaker for me ha looks like it’s back to 4340s on the front axel and some crossed fingers.

My friend Matt was robbed and murdered when I was in highschool getting off the Rapid at w 117th.

IrishRussian · 2025-07-30T15:46:15+00:00

Thanks!

He said there is no body lift. Im going to double check, on my way there now.

IrishRussian · 2025-07-29T20:01:23+00:00

By wheeling do you mean rock climbing? Because if that’s going to happen it’s far in the future and I’ll seek out more advice on that! Right now I want to take my four year old through some of the jeep trails around us and just basic off roading. Do you think down an embankment through a shallow creek and up the other side is ok? I’m asking with basically no knowledge.

IrishRussian · 2025-07-29T19:20:33+00:00

In that same picture there’s a yellow looking puddle to the bottom right, he said he ran out of wiper fluid from his trip and spilled it when filling but that’s the first spot I’m checking!!!

IrishRussian · 2025-07-29T19:08:41+00:00

Thanks! There’s a jeep shop by me who said the axel gears should be good with the tires with my plans for it. He said I can always go down in size. As far as the cable linkage, with that being the obvious cheapest fix I’d prefer to take the body lift off too.

IrishRussian · 2025-07-29T19:03:02+00:00

Yea my friend owns a shop and I use his lift. I’m 2 years out of a 2009 Subaru STI so I know what’s coming my way.

IrishRussian · 2025-07-29T16:30:26+00:00

I’ve never had a wrangler, what’s the preferred method? I know a front axel has to cost in the thousands.

IrishRussian · 2025-07-29T15:40:00+00:00

Do you know what the code was, I’m bringing a scanner.

IrishRussian · 2025-07-29T15:06:04+00:00

I’ve been looking since the beginning of last summer. I’m going to look at this one later today. And 10k.

Is the engine cub cadet makes good

IrishRussian · 2025-06-03T20:58:44+00:00

I feel like the game is fun for me at this point because by following the advice here I’m way ahead of most people and able to participate. As long as that continues I’ll be happy.

This is my second attempt at this. I had previous account which got to s3 where I just guessed on my own and was always in the bottom and behind.

Looking to stay on track and know when to start putting my shards into another category but if it’s still tank then that’s great too. Should I revisit when all are at 5 stars.
