TJ SE's are the last of the real Jeeps. LOL, not really. That's a really nice and clean looking TJ you have there!

They offered the SE with an optional 4.0L in 05-06:

North American TJ/Wranglers were available in the following standard trims.

• SE: 1997–2006 models came standard with the 2.5 L from 1996–2002 production, and the 2.4 L from 2002–2006 production. The 4.0 L optional for 2005–2006. Standard features included an AM/FM stereo with two speakers (later, an AM/FM stereo with cassette player or single-disc CD player and four speakers), vinyl seats, and rear removable bench seat. This model was also available as a right-hand-drive (RHD) rural mail carrier model, which included right-hand-drive (RHD) and a flip-out front window for easy mail delivery.

I just learned something new. I had no idea you could ever get the SE with a 4.0!

They either knew some would want a base TJ (even more so than the X model) with a 4.0L, or they knew they had too many engines on hand in light of the upcoming JK production, and offered them for 05/06...either way, this was not well known. I stumbled onto this fact a few years ago.

Which is a joke, because all of the "packages" offered with the TJ don't really give you crap at all. The only package that is really worth anything is the Rubicon package.

X
Sport
Sahara
etc

Pretty much all the same stuff. Should have just been SE, Sport, and Rubicon if you ask me.

Anyone have an alternative to the rusted top rear shock bolts? Replaced my rear shocks yesterday. 3 of the 4 bolts broke off instantly. Is there something I can do other than try to drill out the old bolts? A help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brad.
