    Rear Upper Hardtop Seal

    My 2005 Tj is getting leaks between the hardtop and the rear glass. It also whistles when the AC fan is on high speed going down the road. I’ve adjusted the glass with no difference. Anybody know the exact name or part number I need to replace? It’s the seal attached to the hardtop that the...

    TJ towing a boat

    I towed my 17ft aluminum Ranger bass boat once for about 20 miles. Never again will I tow it with the Jeep. Got pushed around at stop signs and slid down the wet boat ramp. The TJ has no issues towing my 8 ft utility trailer with ATV on it but the boat was a nightmare.

    Lots of people selling TJs because of high fuel prices

    When times get tough people sell their toys. I’m sure inflation is hurting people. Spring is also the perfect time to sell a jeep. Everyone thinks they want a jeep when the weather is nice.

    Is it ok to remove my rear shocks and have the Jeep sit like that for a few days?

    I did the same. It was almost as if the Jeep was floating. Learned real fast my springs in no way attributed to its harsh ride.

    To Lift or Not Lift

    Leave it alone. When your current setup won’t allow you to go where you want to then upgrade.

    Coolest Colors on a TJ

    Love my Impact Orange. One thing is for sure TJs have a lot of great color choices.

    Power stop brakes clicking sound

    My Jeep does the same. Mine is a mixture of things. Worn aftermarket sway bar end links clicked when the Jeep was rocked back and forth. That was an easy fix. The differentials make noise when the drive shafts hit resistance when rocked. I believe it is due to excessive backlash in them...

    Should I paint these half doors?

    Looks awesome. Way better than a black door to me.

    Should I paint these half doors?

    I’d paint them blue. I’m not a fan of calico cars.

    Currie front track bar too long?

    My health has me down for the count right now otherwise I’d measure the length on my track bar bolt hole to bolt hole and let you compare the length to yours. Wonder if Currie makes them for different vehicles and maybe they sent you the wrong one.

    Control Arm Advice Needed

    Check out the holes in your frame mounts where the control arm bolts go through. Those Skyjacker control arms have little to no flexibility in them. That leads to the holes getting elongated. I’ve heard on here they can even cause the mounts to want to twist off the frame but I haven’t seen...

    TJ vs. a convertible car

    I do almost all my topless cruising on gravel back roads so a Jeep is perfect for me.

    Currie front track bar too long?

    I would think with that much lift you would need to extend the track bar a bunch not shorten it. Your not adjusting it the wrong way are you? When I put on my Currie track bar I adjusted it the wrong way the first time.

    Got hit and insurance wants to salvage my TJ

    I can’t fully remember on the title situation.
