    2005 LJ Frame Options

    So despite knowing its a bad financial decision, I've decided to do a "restoration" on my 2005 LJ. I know I'll have way more money into it than it will ever be worth, but I'm sentimentally attached to this specific one so I don't want to just buy one in better condition. Primary reasons for the...

    Codes Everywhere (P0129, P0344, P0340, P0300)

    Was very excited to start up the Jeep this week after its been sitting for a while, and be greeted with a check engine light, and the 4 love letters below from my Bosch reader. Has a harder time than usual starting, and drops RPMs. Sometimes it will stall and other times it just keeps dropping...

    Removing Seat Risers / Brackets

    I'm looking to remove the front seat risers / floor brackets from my 2005 Unlimited so I can sand off some rust and repaint them. I feel stupid even asking but I can't figure out how to remove them from the seat itself and couldn't find a thread on it here, or much via Google / Youtube. Am I...

    Bolt Size for Stock Tire Carrier

    Was just hoping to verify before I went out and bought the hardware, are the holes for the stock tire carrier 5/16"-18? Or is it something metric? This is for a 2005 Unlimited if the year matters. Looking to install a spare delete panel and I don't have the stock hardware anymore. Thanks for...

    Best Way to Tackle Door Hinges

    Hey all, how would you go about cleaning up this rusted door hinge? Try and clean up what's there somehow? Or replace things? It's on a half door if that matters, snd the Jeep was repainted a few years ago. I assume getting those bolts out is an almost impossible task? Thanks in advance for...

    I'm trying to find / figure out what size the 3 screws are that hold on what I'm calling the interior windshield trim. Not sure if thats the right name which may be why I can't find. It's the 3 screws shown in the photos. Would love to just be able to grab something from Home Depot versus...

    Rear Seat Rail Removal

    Hey all, I'm trying to remove the rear seat rails on my 2005 LJ but am running into some issues. I'm not able to break the bolts loose with penetrating fluid and my impact, and am afraid of shearing them if I use a breaker bar. Other than possibly breaking the bolts and having to drill them...

    Vendor Recommendations for Automatic Transmission Replacement

    Yes the transmission fluid is all good. I was hoping that was the issue, but no luck :) No manual transmission swap for me, need to stick with an automatic for many reasons.

    Vendor Recommendations for Automatic Transmission Replacement

    It's not "holding gear" in the sense that I step on the gas and it feels like its in neutral. Check engine light is on with the following ODB2 codes. PO700 PO871 PO732 PO734 PO733 PO846 PO456 Figured it wasn't worth dumping money into trying to fix a transmission with 215K miles on it.
