Hey guys...New member here! Can't wait go get out with u all on the trail. I have an 03 Rubicon that's mostly stock (for now). Looking to gain some knowledge here and hook up my jeep. I'm a stay at home dad who is dying to take my son out with me. He's still a little young but loves riding in the jeep. I was planning to go to the topless rally in mass but my u-joints r clackin'. Does anyone know how to replace them without the fancy joint press? I don't have too many tools and can't do it myself. I am a pretty handy guy but sometimes I get a little overwhelmed and it's too much for just one person with minimal knowledge. Also looking for a lift kit once I get my tax returns! Any suggestions?
Thanks guys!

Loves these pics...one is my son in his car seat in the back of the jeep! He loves it!

Welcome to the board. Look forward to meeting you. Ujoints aren't difficult. Do a youtube video search for ujoint replacement and you'll see lots of little tips and tricks.

Hey guys,
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to taking stuff like that apart. Looked at u-tube but can't find a good video that shows how to change u-joints step by step. And I don't have many tools or workspace.  I'm afraid if I take it apart it won't go back together...I am physically capable just lacking in the knowledge department.
If someone wants to help me I would b glad to buy u a 6/or 12 pk of your choice.
I don't have a garage so at ur place or on the dirt will have to do!

Hey Jim,
I'm in over my head with house projects right now and haven't even had a chance to work on my Jeep in way too long, but there may be others here that could give you a hand. Have you come across Stu's page of Jeep repairs yet? Here is the link to ujoint replacement. I would suggest going to home on his page and bookmarking it. There are a lot of good write ups on his website.

Another new member!  ;D Hey JT, my names Jacob.  I'm from New Britain and drive an XJ.  I work as a line cook in West Hartford and have slowly been getting into the 4wheel community.  I have a 4.5 inch BDS short arm lift and 33's. Most recently I installed the Detours Tailbone rear tire carrier (which is an amazing system).  4.0 I6, sye and cv driveshaft, stock 29 spline 8 1/4 rear, d30 front, and a bunch of stickers haha.  Look forward to participating and meeting up! ::)
