What do I have to do, blast it with dynamite?!

Took the Torx bolt out of the rear end cap on the roof rail, it won't budge, pulled till I got short of breath from cursing so loud, how to you get that end cap off?

I could swear I saw someone post once that only the front ones come off.

What windshield wipers are everyone using? I'm looking for a set good for all weather; ice, snow, rain, etc. plus MUD.

I just switched over the new kind, no more chattering and streaking across the windshield, these things are awesome. They have built in spoilers to reduce lift.

3 drains and fills with dex/merc. Within the past couple months. It made the shifts a bit more snappy and that's about it. I could definitely feel a difference from before though.

Hey guys I had a question, I replaced the steering gear box and the u joint today for my jeep because it had a loud pop, I fixed that, but there's still a clicking and when I turn while moving then put it back straight it pops and nothing but the steering wheel moves, and when parked it quietly clicks moving the steering wheel back and forth, I know I need a new track bar but would that be the problem? Or is it something else? Any help is appreciated

Have you greased everything lately. Like ball joints, pitman arm etc. Its so crucial during cold weather to grease this stuff

I use the Mobil synthetic grease from auto zone. I have a shot grease pouch so every few days if i don't grease it, the pitman arm joint gets pissed. Now if afterwards you have a click still, then you can see what else it may be. While you at it don't forget to grease the front DS

So it's a possibility that this could be a part of my issue.. the adjuster mechanism doesn't seem to be working properly. When I push the conduit in and then open the TB to WOT (Which I'm doing from the outside of the Jeep, not sure if it makes a difference? In any case, it doesn't; mine seems to be "broken") the conduit only comes back out a centimeter or so. It's such a small amount that it has trouble clicking in to place. It wasn't like this when I did this last about a month or so ago. Looks like I might have a trip to the JY in my near future! Going to lube the mechanism up and see if that helps it out any first though.
