You may have to modify the driver side arm to avoid driveshaft interference.

That is where the front brace of the auto trans skid bolts to the frame on 2003 - 2006 models. Previous owner probably removed skid when lifting Jeep.

My bad. I didn't realize your rear window isn't installed yet. Never had mine removed from the rear window.

Something doesn't look right. On mine (original 2004) the open channel faces inward.

I put the OR Fab sport cage in my 04 many years ago, so I don't know about the Smitty version. I can't see clearly in the third photo due to sun glare, but it appears that the vertical piece needs to go up against the horizontal tube. Looking at the second picture there needs to be some...

I've seen color mismatched panels before. It usually indicates a rebuild after a wreck or rust. As long as you're happy, who cares. Can you tell us more about the Jeep? It appears to have JL wheels, which means there are wheel adapters being used. What's the frame look like?

A battery needs to be fully charged to do a proper load test. Put an old style charger on it and keep it on until the ammeter drops down to a low rate.

If you don't run wheel spacers you'll have to go with a 10.5 width tire.

Just replaced my multifunction switch last month. $112 with tax after discount from Napa.

Years ago, a younger guy in our local Jeep club put a 32RH into an 03 Rubicon that he just bought. The Rubicon had already been hacked up by the previous owner (Dodge truck manual with granny gear, Atlas transfer case, air suspension, etc). He pulled the tub off the frame, cleaned and painted...

Nice looking Jeep! The tires appear to be in good shape. Before spending money, check the tire pressure. Don't inflate them to the door sticker listing as the X model probably came with a 28 or 29 inch tire from the factory. Bigger tires require less air pressure. You might be able to get away...

I think the price is crazy high for the condition. Some people believe the LJR is made of gold. What is your intent for use ? Do you really want an LJ or would a TJ suffice? I can see thousands of dollars needing to get that rig to be decent and fully functional.

I wouldn't rush to replace the drop pitman arm yet. It looks like the track bar has a drop bracket at the frame end. I don't know anything about the components in a rough country lift. I believe if you replace the drop pitman you would also need to replace the drop bracket for the track bar...

225/75R15 would be fine. Google says that was the stock tire size for a Sahara trim and the base model got 215/75R15.

Your Jeep must be very light to get 5.5" rear lift on the 4" springs. Do you even have a rear bumper installed? With some weight and time, those rear springs should sag.
