- What's up GC Fans! On this episode we upgrade our driveshaft on our TJ! If you haven't seen the video series yet, here are some of our previous videos. Wasn't easy fitting 38s on this TJ!
We bought the rubicon for how much?!? • We Bought the CHEAPEST...
First mods on the rubicon, video 1! • 5 Starter Wrangler Mod...
38s no lift on this rubicon?!? • 38s with NO LIFT Jeep ...
DC Driveshaft upgrade - • EVERY Lifted Jeep NEED...
After installing our Double Cardon driveshaft, we were experiencing some serious vibrations with our 2005 jeep wrangler rubicon. We did not need to install a slip yoke eliminator kit because rubicons come with fixed flanged rear outputs from the transfer case. If you own a non rubicon model, you must first install a slip yoke eliminator kit.
We discuss the importance of setting your pinion angle properly. This can be done using a cheap angle finder (amzn.to/3gUZUGr). You must first measure the slope of the driveshaft, and then you must measure the slope of the differential. The goal is to get the differential pointing 1-2 degrees lower than the driveshaft in order to compensate for the rise when torque is applied.
Installing rear adjustable upper control arms gives you the necessary ability to control the angle of the differential to properly set the pinion. It is seriously much easier to install adjustable control arms vs fixed. Check out the entire video to see exactly how its done on a jeep wrangler rubicon!

You guys keep doing things as original as you do it! You guys are awesome! Enjoy watching your channel.
You're the best!
Easiest video I’ve found on setting pinion angle, thanks so much
Awesome! God bless
Appreciate y’all using my video. It was definitely wet inside the Jeep that day lol. Found out the hard way the drain plug was missing from factory. Anyways, keep up the work and enjoy the good weather y’all have
Thank you for sending the awesome vid! Oh boy. Sounds like you had some fun!
Thanks for the videos ! You guys are awesome!!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome channel! Thanks for making this video
Thanks so much for the support!
I love you always take your time and explain stuff step by step
Thank you so much!
LOL. SHE SAID,” I’m confused? I don’t understand?” 😃 too Cute
Cheers!
What’s your opinion on front upper adjustable control arms? Are they needed?
I have a 01 Sport and i just added a 3" skyjacker suspension lift. I have just a slight vibration at take off from a dead stop. I want to do this jeep on a budget. can i install rear upper control arms with the stock drive shaft to get rid of the vibration or do you have to install a slip yoke eliminator and new drive shaft?
Love you guys !!!
Appreciate you!
Thanks for this! Getting ready to do the exact same thing! Did you have to get an alignment after modifying the control arms? Can adjusting the control arms throw things out of alignment? Thanks again!
Yes they could. Check out our diy alignment video!
Hello, I am in the middle of lifting my Jeep 4 inches, sye kit and cv driveshaft. I have a shock relocation brackets on the way. But did you have to add rear track bar angled relocation bracket after you adjusted the pinion angle?
We did not! Good luck and enjoy!
It must be nice to have a partner to help. I have modified my old TJ completely alone without any sort of help at all. I guess I can feel a sense of doing all the modifications myself with only you two helping with advise and instructions. But the long tedious hours of wrenching, slipping wrenches and skinning knuckles, breaking fingers, and alignment without any help really take their toll. My modifications have been, a Skyjacker 4. 5 inch lift system, with hydro shocks, Teraflex adjustable track bar. Rusty's heavy duty tie rod, new front ball joints, new left front wheel bearing, new left front axle shaft, new upper and lower front ball joints, Skyjacker spring isolators, Hella halogen retrofit lights with LED light bulbs instead, Cree 52 inch light bar with off brand bracket and Cree flood light pods, Hella 6 inch fog lamps, 5 inch ditch lights, Smitybilt stainless steel front single hoop / double tube bumper with light brackets, Smitybilt rear stainless steel double tube bumper, Smitybilt stainless side step bars, Performance Aluminum 3 core radiator with electric fan, 33 inch Dick Cepek Extreme Mud Terrain tyres, stock canyon rims with hubcentric spacers (a no-no but not made of money) Bestop Super top with top sliding windows, and a bunch of little things here and there. When I spoke of installing everything over the years, everyone says they wanted to help. When it came down to it, nobody helped. The strange thing is, I never asked. Everyone volunteered when they heard me speaking of upcoming modifications. When I got the parts and I mentioned if they still wanted to help, something came up. I would have rather nobody volunteered when I did not ask and then when I got the part and asked if they were up to it still, they back out. Oh well, at least I can say nobody has ever touched my aging beauty.
I didn't see her helping. She hung out for the intro, then dipped out and let him do all the work and operate the camera himself, and then showed up at the end for the outro.
Nice video and great information put across in a manner that anyone can follow!!! One thing that catches my eye though is the small spare tire still mounted on the back of the Jeep!!! When you going to do something about that?
Stay tuned for that! Working on things ztep by step
Just started watching your videos and they're great. Very informative and fun to watch. I've been trying to find what kind of fenders are on your TJ RUBICON. I know you bought it with them already on but any help would be great. Thank you!
Thanks for the kind words! We loved reading it! These are the metalcloak high arch fender flares, 4 inch model :)
@@Garagecouple THANK YOU SO MUCH!
nice ,question can the same principal be apply to the front, thanks
The front is similar but you have to angle the pinion opposite. I would recommend reading more about it and watching other awesome videos :)
What brand SYE rear drive shaft is that? Lifted my jeep and need a new one
Tom woods! Highly recommend!
Will do it today.
Sweet!
I’m having the same vibration problems, do you recommend getting the lowers as well? Or will the uppers do just fine?
I would just get adjustable uppers!
Unless you want to change your wheel base - you will need to do both. You could easily be hitting your gas tank skid with your trackbar (assuming you have a relocation bracket and stock gas tank skid - and some aftermarket) with just changing the uppers.
On a driveshaft with u joints on both ends,,take a digital angle finder ,, put it on face of either tail shaft or pinion,,zero it out,,then put it on opposite,,that would b degree shim you will need,,or how much degree you need to compensate for
Thank you!
@@Garagecouple yep,,used a free app on iPhone,,angle finder
I have a ram 1500 with same vibs looks like we share the same junky stock control arms. I’m going to give this a try
Thanks for video
Good luck!
I got a ram 1500 also i just order some CORE 4x4 rear control arms.. cant wait.
Hi , so the control arms don't have to be adjusted to the exact same length as each other??? Just jack up pinion and adjust control arms to fit where its jacked up?
?
New sub! I noticed the springs were a little bowed. Has this caused any issues? I have the same problem with vibration and this definitely looks like the fix.
Hi! Welcome to our channel! Good eye qith the springs! We did a shock relocation bracket and it helped. No more vibes since :)
Just bought a 2.5 lift kit that came with front lower and rear upper control arms. Would you recommend replacing the upper front and lower rears also? The guy at the shop told me I would be fine without getting them.
Hi! Thats a great question! We changed both lowers and now the rear uppers, and it works for us!
For a 2.5 lift front lowers and rear uppers will fix your ride quality , that is if adjusted properly . get the rest of the arms when/if you can afford them but for the most part those are what you would need.
@@JoseOrtiz_1416 thank you for your response. I assumed that was the answer. When I spoke to Rock Krawler they told me the same and said to buy the other arms in the future as your finances allow.
@@k.l.858 Exactly , i also run a 2.5 lift and i need to get control arms and tires balanced because over 65 and i feel a nice vibration. But with these arms and a rock krawler lift that thing will be super smooth
Where did you guys get the fender flares ?
They are the high arch by metalcloak
where did u get the adjustable control arms?
We ordered them from rustys
Full DIY? what about the track bar? Are you running into issues with that??
I can't seem to find the link for the upper control arms. Thanks
Hi, Check out the later videos :)
Congrats on your fix. Now it's time to hit the trails and video your journey.
Thats the plan!
what wheel do you got on there?
Rocktrix rims with milestar tires
9:25 You have the same problems with gloves I do, haha! Just a word of caution though - since you said you haven't done adjustable arms before - those nuts NEED to be as tight as possible. Mine came loose, resulting in the control arm adjustable threads to strip and the control arms separated front and back. In order to tighten them, I bought a set of crowfoot wrenches (on the replacement set, that is!).
Agree recheck..
Wow! Sorry to hear that! Thank you for letting us know, we will go ahead and tighten them now!
Great video I'm gonna try it on my tj got the lower but not upper arms
Got it. From what we have read the pinion angle should only be adjusted with the upper control arms. God bless
@@Garagecouple gonna get to Tonite asoon as I get back thanks for replying
Garage Couple no, you need to have uppers and Lowers to properly adjust - otherwise you’re adjusting the pinion and wheelbase. It’s a misconception that you only need the uppers.
@@4xmatt what about the front uppers is this true also? My rubicon has only 6 of the 8 there are 2 stock uppers in the front! Will my Jeep ride better if I put them 2 on?
Would I do the same in front?
👍
Cheers
Do you guys ever hit the trail?
Go on a dirt road?
Asking for a friend.
Yup!
Garage Couple are you sure? Haven’t seen one yet. Upgrading a rig with no feedback isn’t very useful.
@@Garagecouple are there any videos of the accessories performing as intended?
Glad to see you guys getting the bugs worked out. Did your wife hold the flashlight again! Lol. Are club Gadzuks is doing a night run this coming Saturday night and I'm inviting you guys to join us.
Very nice of you! Where is the run going to be?
@@Garagecouple Trail called Marble Canyon on Hesperia. Short tock trail it's a lot of fun.
That sounds like a lot of fun! It's over 100 miles away, and Sunday is Father's day! Let us know for the next one :)
@@Garagecouple Ok we do a lot of trails in Big Bear. Next time.
What about the front?
The front is way longer and much more rarely has issues with vibrations!
Woow great! i just follow your steps and runs very smooth am start jumping so happy like you after fixing it. thanks a lot from chapala jalisco Mexico my club in fb is lakesidejeepclub
Awesome!
I have vibration at 60mph
Voice sounds the same as Adventure Dex
Interesting!
1:10 her eyes!!! Uffff

Yooo
Yooooo
You lost my view when you said slope. Smh
