when ever i crawl under the KJ, i always see this thing and dont know what it is

is it a roller of some sort, to protect the rear pumpkin against rocks??? if so,, mine is rusted/frozen so it dosent move.

thanks

It's KJ balls. lol

actually its called the harmonic balancer i believe. It's supposed to be some sort of dampener for driveline vibrations. It isn't a roller though, so dont worry about it being frozen. Mine looks just like that rust color too plus some rock rash.

later,
mike

LOL!

Here we go again...... :shock:

I removed them from my KJ's so now they can't reproduce. Spay & Neuter your Jeeps to help control the Jeep population.

I bent the crap out of them on my blue KJ so I got rid of them. I decided to just remove from our khaki KJ so they wouldn't get beat up. I have not noticed any difference in vibrations.

So it doesn't hurt to take the KJ's balls off by force? :lol:

That's good to know.

And not meaning to hijack your thread HyperKJ,but I can't resist tellin you guys an inocent story of a lady who came out of the lobby while I was changing her oil and said "Would you mind checking out my rearend?......My husband said he stuck his finger in there and could'nt feel anything." :lol:

....Almost peed my pants laughing.

mine were all rusty too, so i sprayed them with some WD-40 then gave them a rub with some fine grit sand paper....

the KJ has never been happier :lol:

I though, feel a bit ashamed

Spray them after you get the rust off and the WD-40 will prevent further rust. Spray them about once a month or after heavy rain/water fording.
