Since my SAS I recently started to have power steering pump whine after an hour of wheeling. On the street and highway everything is quite but as soon as there is constant demand on the trail, the howling starts. Clearly the FJ80 box and PSC ram assist are too much and the fluid is getting...

I am modifying my Schwarttzy rock sliders. Would like some opinions. I do a lot of camping and access the roof rack quite a bit. Having wider sliders will also keep the doors and fenders safer. I cut the original round tube off and will kick it out about a total of 8 inches and top it off with...

Newest 4 Wheel magazine recalling the previous Ultimate Adventures. Nice of Squeaky to represent the H3.

Rascole's SAS/V8 swap build Well the time has come to finally start a build thread. Should have started one with all the additions I have done over the past 9 years but now is a good starting point. I have an 06 Adventure with a Rancho and SOA and a bunch of other upgrades. It has been great...

I searched and found only 2 threads that talk about replacing the motor mounts on an I5. Who has done it and how difficult is it? I already have the inner fender wells out and figured now is a good time to access the mounts, they look pretty cracked. Does the engine need to be supported...

Came out of my 06 with 4.56 and had 120k miles on it and it looks great. I replaced it with a CI with a locker. $700

Worst 3.5 weeks I’ve had. Well almost. Started my install the week before Christmas, right when one of the largest chain of rain storms hits SoCal. I had 2 weeks off work dedicated to this project and only got to work on it 2 days. Then a 6 week work schedule of 6/12 hour shifts killed my...

Has anyone used shock extenders on the front before? I am almost finished installing my Rancho and my Bilsteins are in great shape and would like to keep them. $30 for extenders or $150 for new Bilsteins. These are for a Chevy Silverado with 3" of lift.

Finally finished my spare tire mount for my 4 gallon Rotopax. $20 in parts, the 3/4" x 7.5" long bolt was $10 and the aluminum was end pieces from a cut and $10. I can't weld aluminum so that cost me a future breakfast burrito from a friend at work. I welded a 4" round piece to the back of...

If you have a Rancho lift for your H3 now is the time to get any warranty items replaced now, parts are disappearing. I bought a used Rancho kit from a member here and I am in the middle of doing some mods to it before I install it. The front cross member was slightly bent but easily fixed. I...

Well was a little bored today so I cut open my old OEM radiator to look at the transmission cooler. Wow that thing is small (that's what she said). I understand thermal dynamics but the darn thing only holds a few ounces of liquid.

My son and I took a small overland trip with some friends from work on Thanksgiving week, we did come home for turkey day then started off where we left off on early Friday morning. For those who don't know what the Mojave Road is, Google it, it is a great trail for beginners. We didn't start...

I just finished my front end suspension repairs and PCM upgrade. I had the engine idling to let the PCM calibrate and I noticed that there was an intermittent rattle noise. Well it appears that my water pump is going out. Small amount of coolant is weeping out and there is a visible wobble of...

I found that Moog has 2 sets of part numbers for the tie rods for the H3, 2006 and all later years. EV800584 & ES800763 are for the 06 and EV800609 & ES800762 for the later years. Has anyone ordered and checked the size of the first 2? Are they the 14mm or 16mm. My emails to Moog and Federal...

So I thought I had fixed my leaking drain for the sunroof. After a bath last weekend the carpet was wet again. So I started with a small piece of 14 gauge wire to push through the tube, after I heard it wiggling around the head liner I knew the problem. The tube had come free from the drain...

I am mounting my hawse fairlead on my H3 with the hidden winch set up. The fairlead sits horizontal with the center of the winch drum. My question is should the hawse style fairlead sit more inline with the area of the rope wrapping on the drum? This would at least keep the rope from always...

So I finally got around to start my install of my Schwarttzy hidden winch. I have had a very bust weekend schedule with kids in sports and work. It is only half way done but I should have it completed no later than Thanksgiving weekend, the last weekend of my sons football. I was going to...

I finally finished my dual battery install this weekend. Much easier than I thought and would say ANY one can do this over a 2 day weekend. I did use weld nuts but rivnuts can be used just as easily. I did not add an isolator or disconnect yet. I have not fully decided on one way or the...
