Rear bench seat in 9.5/10 condition. Been in basement storage. No rips, tears, stains, etc

For sale is a 2000 TJ SE with a 2.5L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. It’s the 60 year anniversary edition with limited “Silverstone” paint scheme. It drives wonderfully, shifts smoothly. It last passed Maryland inspection in 2019 and has been used as a warm weather weekend Jeep...

Cleaning up my father in law's TJ for Spring and recommended to him that we remove the fender liners for a deep clean. Sure enough, we encountered some decent rust behind them which I think we've caught just in the nick of time. That said, how would you all recommend addressing? Cut out the...

The steering box on my 2000 has started leaking; rather than throw a band-aid on it with stop-leak, I'm going to buy a remanufactured one off eBay. I've watched a bunch of videos, all of which show using a pitman arm puller to remove the pitman arm. Looking at eBay, there are many listings...

Black hardtop coming off a 2000 glass in excellent condition as well as interior. Few scuffs here and there but nothing that can’t be touched up. No cracks, etc. Struts are OK - functional but a new set wouldn’t hurt Pictures were taken on a cold morning so the gray stuff on the top in the...

Helping my Dad in selling his hardtop, which came off of his 1999 TJ Sport. It's been in storage in his shop now for a couple of years as he's been running the new soft top which we got him for his birthday. I think he'd feel guilty if he used anything else now! A little bit more about the...

@Birddog I will reach out to you. Check your inbox (will be a notification next to envelope)

Thanks neighbor!

I've got my '99 Desert Sand Pearl TJ, but advertising here for sale my father in law's 2012 Wrangler JK as I'm not a member of the JK boards. It is a 6-speed manual with only 29K miles. Completely stock and garage kept, it is in pristine condition, both inside and out. Has never seen dirt...

Thanks all! Appreciate the support and feedback. @JMT good call... definitely didn't expect it to be a permanent fix, but its a good excuse to down the road to spend some time with the TJ :)

UPDATE: want to thank all of you for your input. As a first step, gave it a thorough power wash, scrub, and applied a couple coats of magic PENETROL! Take a look at the photos below!

That’s a good thought. What do you think a reasonable price for it would be? The glass is mint and I’ve got new struts on the way next week.

I believe this might have been the original / intended color scheme? Looks pretty dang cool.

Agreed... bumpers and all trim pieces have been painted using the same color. Black hard top would tie it together I think.
