    2004 Rubicon value?

    Thanks guys, I didnt notice the spray can paint on that 2nd one. I zoomed in and do notice the double coat peel in photo 4. I believe your right Goatman about finding another creampuff here in the NE. I think Im just gonna put this on a back burner for now & focus on getting my YJ in better...

    2004 Rubicon value?

    Thats a beautiful TJ Rubi T_Hase89. I may have to consider going south for one but I dont know. I found one more local tonight and spoke with a kid that has it. He owes $ on it but the frame looks alot better. Thing is I would like to get another auto like I had for daily driving. I remember...

    2004 Rubicon value?

    Got a leak

    Thanks guys, I tired a 3 gallon bucket down near the cracks of the door. All was still wet so I really couldnt see anything. I will try tomorrow at the half way point(mirror) and see what happens then move up toward the corner of the hard top. I know the seal isnt seeded properly as the...

    Got a leak

    I replaced my drivers side door seal about 2 years ago on my 06 TJ. With the heavy rain the other night, I noticed Im getting a leak. I think the water is running down the front part of the door and under the door seal. Found some water all along the tub rail. Since I know the seal is fairly new...

    Front rotor rubbing dust shield

    Well I found the bend in it. You were right. I overlooked it. It looked straight to me. Then saw the bend inward at the 6 oclock position. Its nice and flat now. I tapped the bare spots and that helped alot. It was confusing was I thought those bulges, where the wear points are, were stamped...

    Front rotor rubbing dust shield

    It doesnt appear bent though. Looks straight. Do you think it can be warped from heat & I cant see the bend? When I turn the rotor it looks like its wobbling a lil as there are only two keepers on the studs(with pads pulled off). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J727A using Tapatalk

    Front rotor rubbing dust shield

    So out of the blue my front drivers rotor started rubbing the dust shield. Not sure why or whats causing it. New pads and rotors were changed two yrs ago. Never any problems. Has anyone else run into this problem? I can see two rub marks at the bottom of the shield. The rotor looks like its...

    Outboard rear shocks project

    No,no I was just asking if they would work. I wasnt sure if they would or not with the 2 separate bolt top end set up of the rear shock. I was curious to see if they would. I assume the top can be changed over to a one bolt slide thru set up? Thank you for this explanation. It helps a bit. It...

    Outboard rear shocks project

    Thanks guys. I wasnt sure if the top end of he rear shock could be changed from accepting 2 separate bolts for mounting them. I didnt see anything listed about it and only saw longer shocks used. I wasnt aware of other type of shocks being able to work. I have no complaints on using something...

    Outboard rear shocks project

    I've been thinking/searching this mod for some time as well. Also was looking for a video tutorial to help the DYIers out here. I'm still running a stock set up and do have a OME 2" lift for the Jeep but just haven't gotten time to put it on yet. I bought a set of new Bilstein shocks for it...
