    Will these tires fit?

    Possibly dumb question because it's been awhile since I bought tires for a vehicle, and Amazon and the tire shops keep insisting that these tires Yokohama 30X9.50R15 104S C/6 YOKOHAMA GEOLANDER A/T G015 OWL won't fit my Jeep, even when I put in that it came with 30x9.50 tires from the...

    Installing fog lights on 1998 TJ

    Hey y'all, so i've searched a bit for this, but I'm mostly seeing people installing OEM fogs on prewired TJs. Mine is a 1998 and I don't believe that it's prewired for fog lights. Anyone have any links to tutorials, recommendations, etc to install aftermarket fogs on a TJ that ISN'T prewired...

    I think I'm ready to talk about this

    I know someone whose daughter rolled a Jeep TJ also down an embankment and Idk exact details but they did get it fixed and driveable again so I guess it is possible. Seems like they're pretty tough vehicles. glad everyone was ok!

    What temperature does your Jeep run at?

    Mine gets really close to this when going up steep hills but doesn't run at this temp in normal conditions even when it's over 80 outside. Should I be concerned?

    Temp gauge question

    Ok that's an easy enough fix. The temps it's hanging it are technically within normal range, it just caught my attention that it was fluctuating when it never did that before. Was mainly wondering if that was relatively normal or a warning sign of something.

    Temp gauge question

    So normally my temp gauge always sits just slightly to the left of 210 once it's at normal operating temperature. It only scoots up in the summer, climbing a hill, really hot weather, etc. And by scoots up, I mean it goes either right to 210 or a tiny bit past it. That seems to be normal from...

    Salty roads

    I have a question related to this topic...I'm a new TJ owner and I live in Western Washington. Obviously we rarely get really heavy snow and the roads around me appear to mostly get sanded, but the county webpage does say that they use some kind of salt brine solution. I've never worried about...

    Average cost of ownership for TJs?

    from what I gathered before I bought mine, the cost of owning a TJ is generally the same as owning any other older vehicle if you aren't doing a bunch of mods to it. since i've always owned old vehicles (my 98 is the newest one I've had lol), and i work at home, the general impracticality of...

    New to Jeeps: Looking for opinion on 4 cylinder models

    Yeah definitely drive both, that's the only way to know. I thought the four felt really underpowered and I only tried one bc they're a lot cheaper than the sixes, but I went into it pretty sure that I wanted a six anyway so...

    How much should I expect to pay for a TJ

    Yeah location makes a difference. I'm in Washington and when I was looking, a Rubicon in good shape with less than 150k would cost 14k easy. For reference, I paid 9k for my 98 Sport with a manual transmission and under 100k miles but it was bone stock and I honestly don't think the guy knew what...
