    South Carolina Set of (5) BFG T/A KO2 35x12.50r15 tires Like New Less than 3k miles

    Set of (5) BF Goodrich T/A KO2 35x12.50r15 tires. Four of the tires have less than 3,000 miles and are like new. The fifth tire is still brand new and has never been used. I paid over $1,400 for these tires when they were new. I am only selling because I ended up switching to a smaller tire due...

    Advice on lowering lift from 4.5” to 2.5” (many questions)

    I must have posted my last reply as you were responding with this. I think this is the part I'm a bit lost on. Since I already have a lift on the jeep now, are the springs and shocks the only thing that would need to change to lower the lift (assuming I don't also end up having the change the...

    Advice on lowering lift from 4.5” to 2.5” (many questions)

    Just to clarify on this, I won't need an entirely new lift kit (since shocks usually come with that), just the springs? Is that right? I had it in my head I was going to have to spend around $1000 to get the OME 2.5" lift kit. Any chance someone could link me to the OME springs I would need for...

    Got it. Yeah, that would have been convenient.

    Advice on lowering lift from 4.5” to 2.5” (many questions)

    I'm kinda clueless about all the spacers and bump stops so I'll post a couple more pics here. And this is what the description for the current lift says, "new control arms with our Super-Flex spherical ball joints, adjustable front track bar, replacement 4.5-inch lift springs, extended bump...

    Advice on lowering lift from 4.5” to 2.5” (many questions)

    I have an 04 Rubicon. When I bought it, it had a 4.5" Rubicon Express lift and 35x12.50r15 tires on 15x10 wheels. This is my first jeep, and I originally planned to run 35" tires and a larger lift, as I like the look. However, now that I've owned the jeep for about a year, I realize that for my...

    SOLD TJ hardtop in South Carolina

    I have a guy who is supposed to come and get it tonight. We'll see if he actually shows up. If not, then it will still be available, and I'll let you know. If you're in Smithville, it looks like you are about 4.5 hours away from me.

    Advice on pricing hardtop

    The hardtop is definitely in great condition. I can see where the warmer weather in the south may result in less demand than a colder area, though. Based on the responses, I guess I'll hope to get at least $1000 for it. Maybe list at $1200 and see what happens. I'm not in a rush to sell it or...

    Advice on pricing hardtop

    Can I get some advice on pricing a hardtop? I'm planning to get rid of the hardtop that was on my 04 Rubicon, and I'm not quite sure how much I should be looking to get for it. I want to make sure I don't get lowballed, but at the same time, I don't want to list it at some unrealistic price. The...

    Gears locking up when shifting

    I’m not sure if the clutch has ever been serviced. No, even the rev matching didn’t make it easier, but it’s primarily an issue when downshifting. I seem to be able to upshift more easily, but downshifting or going into gear while at a stop is causing the most problems.

    Gears locking up when shifting

    I have an 04 TJ with 100k miles. Just yesterday, I noticed somewhat of a squealing high pitched sound when I started the jeep. The noise continued as I backed out of the driveway. Then, as I started driving again, I didn’t really hear it anymore. But when pressing the clutch and brake at stop...

    Help with door leak

    I ended up having the local jeep dealership order an OEM door seal. I also had them install it since I wanted to be sure it was done properly. They installed the seal, and it has completely fixed the leak even in heavy rain. However, the seal is sticking out too far in one spot, which makes it...
