I need several (as many as I can get — I have 4 LJs) of the little torx #6 x 1/2" or 5/8" (I am not sure how long they are but they are no longer then 5/8") black screws that hold the headlight inner retainer rings in place. I am upgrading headlights and am finding that I am missing screws from...

Looking for OEM padding and covers in very good condition for my LJ. I have everything but the front seat section, which I think is exactly the same in TJs and LJs(?). I would buy a full set of LJ padding if in very good condition so it all matches. Please IM me, thanks.

The condition of the sale was that the trailer must go with the Jeep. So we drove 23 out of the last 33 hours to pick it up and haul everything home. The trailer is 99% custom/hand built (he was a farm equipment machinist/builder), minus the Jeep tailgate and has a super cool articulating hitch...

We have used the Mac tie down straps for years but they tend to loosen on trips and require re-tightening frequently, so I feel this isn't great for the Jeep or the transmission when they get loose before I re-tighten repeatedly. Does anyone use chain binders to tie down their Jeeps — and if...

What a nice LJ you have!

Does this just look like 100k mile surface rust that's nothing to worry about, or maybe hiding something worse? The Jeep lived in Hawaii for about 4 years but has been in Arizona mostly and Texas. I know the salt air in coastal and island cars can make rust crop up in odd places, but this is all...

If I am looking at at FCA report, I am not seeing the word "Rubicon" listed but I am seeing 4.11 rear axle ratio — does the axle ratio automatically indicate the Rubicon? And I am seeing "Sahara Edition Group," so does that mean this is a "Rubihara?" Thanks!

I am having a hard time making the interior bracket fit while allowing contact with the tabs for the brake light. If the tabs don't catch on the side of the tub and rip out, the black plastic bracket won't fit. Thoughts? Thanks.

I don't know my bumpers — what is the front? I like it!

Why not have the Trailhawk as your DD, the JK, AND a TJ?

I really like my Bartact covers.

I got one this evening, too. I love these threads — thanks TJ Forum! :cool:

Why so cranky? I'm your grandparents age (probably), and I couldn't figure out how to send a freaking email from my phone this afternoon as I usually use my computer for crap like that.

Probably just an old guy who isn't very phone/internet savvy.

Red is bone stock (minus the wheels and seat covers). No rub from the larger wheels/tires on this one with everyday driving. I do not know how it would be trying to wheel, however.
