    Transfer case shifting rod came out and left me in neutral

    So, I was hauling my trailer at night and was shifting out of 4wl and my shifter felt disconnected. So I got under there and sure enough a rod was just laying there disconnected. With help from a friend I got it into 2wh, but now I have no way inside the TJ to shift it into 4wd. My TJ...

    2004 TJ OE fog light question

    I broke my right side fog light and was hoping to replace it with a Mopar one. I see the big companies list '05-'06 ones, but I can't seem to find the correct '04 fog light. The light itself is okay, just the housing broke. Just looking for advice. I could go aftermarket, but I prefer not to...

    Can I push or pull gravel with my TJ for a shared gravel driveway?

    Thinking way outside the box here, but maybe someone is an earthmover or....well has an idea?? I have a gravel road behind my home and it is private and shared with neighbors. The watcher pushes stone around and it is a drag. I have a 2" hitch. I see people dragging baseball fields and...

    No Start, No Click, No Dash Lights

    Wow, what condition are your TJ's? I have never owned a vehicle that had such an issue. Maintain your cars and keep up on them. We are lucky to live in such times.

    Battery recommendations for TJ?

    I went with a more local battery that my mechanic recommended. He owns a very large shop and I have known him since we were around 10 years old and we are now in our mid 50's. We are brothers from a different mother, so very close. He also works on a lot of TJ's, CJ's and the like, not to...

    Budget Lighting Upgrade

    So I did upgrade to the knock-offs and they are still going strong. I am very happy. $100. Not bad.

    How much rust is too much rust?

    He stated that after ONE person's opinion and then a bunch of opinions followed. You seem to think he stated that after several opinions. He didn't. To the OP: The underside of the Jeep looks okay, but that damn rocker sucks. Rust will continue even in So Cal, BUT you CAN stop rust from...

    Help please: Now need an adjustable front track bar that includes mounting bracket

    Wow, old thread. I gave it to my mechanic. He either gave it to a customer that deals in Jeeps or scrapped it. I wouldn't sell something like that to be honest. It was junk. Had to reread this thread to jog my memory. That was.a long time ago. Glad I got this done and have been enjoying...

    I agree. You have plenty of black to tie it in.

    SUPERCHARGED 2005 Jeep LJ Rubicon – 41,950 original miles, Auto, Leather $34,900 in Erie, CO

    Me too. Never like the LJ as it looks so odd and not correct in a way and the wheels look too small for the openings. Still someone could make it nice. If I didn't love mine so much I would just throw it for sale for some dumb price like that one and see what happens. Problem is what would I...

    2006 Factory exhaust replacement

    I have a Borla cat back and love it. I put it on my XJ way back in the day and the XJ fell apart after 300K miles, but the Borla was fine. High quality product, but you have to pay for it. Worth it IMHO.

    Anyway to stealth sleep in a TJ?

    Thanks for all the replies. At 6'2" and with a messed up neck, I am probably dreaming. I guess removing the front seat is possible, but kind of odd driving around with one seat in your TJ. Would be lighter though and I don't have a spare tire either, so my TJ would really be light. Damn...

    Anyway to stealth sleep in a TJ?

    Well that isn't "stealth". It might not be able to. be done. Interestingly, I can sleep in my Audi S5 with the fold down seats. lol.

    Anyway to stealth sleep in a TJ?

    My '04 TJ is standard length. I am 6'2". Is there any ideas how to sleep in my TJ? I looked at the floor to take out my passenger seat and that looks crazy hard to figure out. Hammock ideas? I don't think it would be long enough even at a diagonal? Just wondering if it can even be done...
