Subject: Re: help with Bearings..
Check your driveshafts. It could be your CV ball in your front drive
shaft.
I had similar problems just a while back. I had squeaking while
driving. When I pushed the clutch pedal in, the squeaking went away.
When I let off the gas (driveline still under load) I got the "tire
rubbing" sound. I was told it was my release bearing in my clutch.
So, I replaced my clutch. It still squeaked. I finally removed the
rear drive shaft (I had originally just lubed the u-joints). When I
removed it, I found that the CV ball was bad. So, I had it replaced.
Now, I'm driving again and not having any problems.
Driveline noises can be pretty difficult to diagnose. I learned the
hard way. I ended up replacing my clutch when I just had a small $25
fix. (At least I know how to replace a clutch now though :) )
You could cause some major damage to your t-case (or driveshafts) if
anything freezes up. Better check it out as soon as you can. Take a
look at this:

Subject: $120 10# CO2 setup (including first fill!)
I finally did it! I've now got an onboard CO2 setup. Having used both a Kilby/York setup and an onboard CO2 setup recently on a couple of fellow Jeepers rigs I decided to go with the CO2. I found that all things are fairly equal until you use up your reserve capacity on the Kilby/York setup (whether that is a small tank or bumper capacity) the CO2 will then run circles around the onboard York setup on the remaining 3 tires. Also by the time you mount extra reserve tanks for the onboard air you are taking up as much if not more space than the 10# tank. The CO2 is the better choice for reseating a bead on the trail. It is also a better choice for running airtools IMO since it is portable, and does not depend on running the vehicle to provide pressure, and provides that pressure consistently without the need to wait for the onboard tanks to fill before being able to run the tools again. I know there are debates on the heat expansion characteristics of CO2 vs compressed air but in most of the forums I've frequented it seems to be a non issue for Jeep use. Most of us are not running our tires at 100 mph :)
Here are some price breakdowns that I researched including what I finally purchased.
- The Kilby kit runs $200 and York compressor and clutch run $295 (new) from Kilby. If you use junkyard parts you'll get by cheaper so it will cost between $200-$500 not to mention an additional $150 for regulators, manifold, hoses, pressure safety valve etc. And if you add 5-10 gal reserve figure on adding at least another $50 to that. So now your running between $400 and $700. These numbers come from some writeups at reputable offroad sites and www.onboardair.com
- The 10# Powertank runs $319.00 plus another 49.99 for the monting bracket. Thats almost $370!
The setup I purchased was from Vern Lewis Welding Supply. I got a 10# aluminum tank w/ valve for $75. I also bought a 100 psi fixed pressure CO2 regulator for $26.50 and the first fill was $11.06 ! Once I've bought the first tank I can walk in any day and exchange my tank for a full one for only $11.06 Monday-Saturday. A vehicle mounting bracket can be had for $35 at a fire ext supply house. Total cost with tax - $120.66 ! A vehicle fire ext mounting bracket can be had for $35. I still need to pick one up today or tomorrow.
Did I mention that the regulator is already threaded 1/4" NPT? All you have to do is screw in your airline or coupler and your set!
They are great to deal with and answered all of my questions. If you live on the westside they are off Dysart Rd a couple miles south of I-10. In Phoenix they are located at 275 S Black Canyon Highway.
Happy airing up to all of you!

You do not want a Blue Top for winching applications. Blue Tops are not
rated for the recharge current that the alternator in your Jeep is capable
of putting out (unless you have one of those older Jeeps with a very low
output generator....no slam...just statement of fact).
Yellow tops are the only Optima rated for SLI (starter, lights, & ignition)
and for winching duty.
For those who use Reds and Blues for winching....that is fine. I don't care
that you do (nothing personal). I don't want a flame war.....just stating
the facts/specs as provided by Optima. :)

I have about the same set up as Scott, I went with a 150 lbs spring

it was cheaper than the 25 ft.! Go figure! I did a quick disonnect on

Subject: Re: The NEW Snorkle kit
So when are you making one Mike? A couple of problems; with the
original intake design water will just get sucked right in with
everything else. The second intake design provides fresh air but,
no "ram air."
The intake on the ARB, they say, disapates the water to the side and
down the little ports near the top of the snorkel.
This guy/person could have made one that comes out of the body panel
similar to ARB. If you had a plate that matched the inside of the air
box and cut a hole in it, then welded an elbow (facing rearward) that
would accept a similar type of tubing that ARB uses, then you could
exit the engine compartment in the same manor as ARB and use less
PVC. I would still wonder about the rain getting in the intake
though, I bet that is why the design change.
I think the ARB looks "cooler" anyway.

You may have to cut and paste (reassemble) the link into your browsers'

Here is a picture I scanned to share from 4Wheel Drive & Sport utility

So if you don't want rain to enter your snorkel you just fold the windshield

U-joints should really only be changed when they're worn out. Since they're
pressed into the yokes, it's best to leave them alone - unless you need to
change one (broken or worn out). The life of a u-joint is affected by a
number of things (angle, grease intervals, etc), so your mileage will vary.

Subject: Re: help with Bearings..
Check your driveshafts. It could be your CV ball in your front drive
shaft.
I had similar problems just a while back. I had squeaking while
driving. When I pushed the clutch pedal in, the squeaking went away.
When I let off the gas (driveline still under load) I got the "tire
rubbing" sound. I was told it was my release bearing in my clutch.
So, I replaced my clutch. It still squeaked. I finally removed the
rear drive shaft (I had originally just lubed the u-joints). When I
removed it, I found that the CV ball was bad. So, I had it replaced.
Now, I'm driving again and not having any problems.
Driveline noises can be pretty difficult to diagnose. I learned the
hard way. I ended up replacing my clutch when I just had a small $25
fix. (At least I know how to replace a clutch now though :) )
You could cause some major damage to your t-case (or driveshafts) if
anything freezes up. Better check it out as soon as you can. Take a
look at this:

Subject: $120 10# CO2 setup (including first fill!)
I finally did it! I've now got an onboard CO2 setup. Having used both a Kilby/York setup and an onboard CO2 setup recently on a couple of fellow Jeepers rigs I decided to go with the CO2. I found that all things are fairly equal until you use up your reserve capacity on the Kilby/York setup (whether that is a small tank or bumper capacity) the CO2 will then run circles around the onboard York setup on the remaining 3 tires. Also by the time you mount extra reserve tanks for the onboard air you are taking up as much if not more space than the 10# tank. The CO2 is the better choice for reseating a bead on the trail. It is also a better choice for running airtools IMO since it is portable, and does not depend on running the vehicle to provide pressure, and provides that pressure consistently without the need to wait for the onboard tanks to fill before being able to run the tools again. I know there are debates on the heat expansion characteristics of CO2 vs compressed air but in most of the forums I've frequented it seems to be a non issue for Jeep use. Most of us are not running our tires at 100 mph :)
Here are some price breakdowns that I researched including what I finally purchased.
- The Kilby kit runs $200 and York compressor and clutch run $295 (new) from Kilby. If you use junkyard parts you'll get by cheaper so it will cost between $200-$500 not to mention an additional $150 for regulators, manifold, hoses, pressure safety valve etc. And if you add 5-10 gal reserve figure on adding at least another $50 to that. So now your running between $400 and $700. These numbers come from some writeups at reputable offroad sites and www.onboardair.com
- The 10# Powertank runs $319.00 plus another 49.99 for the monting bracket. Thats almost $370!
The setup I purchased was from Vern Lewis Welding Supply. I got a 10# aluminum tank w/ valve for $75. I also bought a 100 psi fixed pressure CO2 regulator for $26.50 and the first fill was $11.06 ! Once I've bought the first tank I can walk in any day and exchange my tank for a full one for only $11.06 Monday-Saturday. A vehicle mounting bracket can be had for $35 at a fire ext supply house. Total cost with tax - $120.66 ! A vehicle fire ext mounting bracket can be had for $35. I still need to pick one up today or tomorrow.
Did I mention that the regulator is already threaded 1/4" NPT? All you have to do is screw in your airline or coupler and your set!
They are great to deal with and answered all of my questions. If you live on the westside they are off Dysart Rd a couple miles south of I-10. In Phoenix they are located at 275 S Black Canyon Highway.
Happy airing up to all of you!
Scott

You do not want a Blue Top for winching applications. Blue Tops are not
rated for the recharge current that the alternator in your Jeep is capable
of putting out (unless you have one of those older Jeeps with a very low
output generator....no slam...just statement of fact).
Yellow tops are the only Optima rated for SLI (starter, lights, & ignition)
and for winching duty.
For those who use Reds and Blues for winching....that is fine. I don't care
that you do (nothing personal). I don't want a flame war.....just stating
the facts/specs as provided by Optima. :)

Tara wants to do this so bad, but we don't have the money to get her
jeep up to par for it. Would need at the bare minimum to get in
another locker and a winch, much less the rock protection and spare
parts and cash to get there, and pay to have the jeep towed home then
fix what breaks =).
Anyone here gonna do it?

Not only is that the facts/specs from Optima, but winching will void the
warranty on the Red Top... It's spelled out very clearly on their web site..

Hi all I was just looking at a bad clunking sound from the front of
my jeep & it is the front upper arms where they mount on the unibody,
so If anyone has a good set that they took off when lifting I would
be real grateful. Any from a xj zj tj would be great. Please let me
know a price.
Thanks in advance

Good Question! The whole object of the competition is driving skill and
how much money you can throw at your 4x4.

Subject: Re: The NEW Snorkle kit
So when are you making one Mike? A couple of problems; with the
original intake design water will just get sucked right in with
everything else. The second intake design provides fresh air but,
no "ram air."
The intake on the ARB, they say, disapates the water to the side and
down the little ports near the top of the snorkel.
This guy/person could have made one that comes out of the body panel
similar to ARB. If you had a plate that matched the inside of the air
box and cut a hole in it, then welded an elbow (facing rearward) that
would accept a similar type of tubing that ARB uses, then you could
exit the engine compartment in the same manor as ARB and use less
PVC. I would still wonder about the rain getting in the intake
though, I bet that is why the design change.
I think the ARB looks "cooler" anyway.

Here is a picture I scanned to share from 4Wheel Drive & Sport utility

So if you don't want rain to enter your snorkel you just fold the windshield
down. LOL!

Hi again!
I've heard some people mention that they use their AC
compressor for onboard air. How does this set-up
work? I don't have AC in my TJ, but if this an option
I may looking into it rather than a York or a
Quick-Air mounted system.
Thanks in advance!

Subject: Re: U-joints
U-joints should really only be changed when they're worn out. Since they're
pressed into the yokes, it's best to leave them alone - unless you need to
change one (broken or worn out). The life of a u-joint is affected by a
number of things (angle, grease intervals, etc), so your mileage will vary.
