    SOLD Black hard upper half doors

    I’m in Chapel Hill as well! Do you happen to know if these would work with a soft top (with the door surround?). I have half doors and a soft top and would be interested in something like this if it works

    Copper tubes instead of plastic on heater core

    FYI - I saw this for sale on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/278419131163982/ Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Valeo is the OEM? I would have grabbed this if it worked with my 2001!

    Heater core recommendation?

    Both Radiator Express and Superior Cooling Systems are using the same exact set of product photos (at least for the model I need). In fact, I've even seen these exact same images on random eBay sellers as well. That leads me to believe that they are all getting them from the same source and just...

    Anyone use BedRug carpet?

    Bedrug comes with adhesive Velcro strips to keep it secure — did you have any issues attaching those strips to the heat liner material? I'm considering ripping out my current bedrug and re-doing it like yours...

    Should I replace old (but working) OEM parts in heater core box?

    I could use some advice. (disclaimer: this is actually about my XJ, but because the same question is for the same parts and could easily apply to my TJ, I figured I'd ask here) With 128k miles on it, I'm having my dash removed to access the heater core box to repair the weather seals (because...

    Would you be willing to separate the 4 BFG tires from the wheels? If so, I may be interested in just those four tires...

    Issues with a 91 Cherokee Laredo

    Unfortunately it sold quick! But I'm going to stay in the market for an XJ as I've always loved the way they look and the more utilitarian feel of them. Maybe look at a 96-99. It would be a semi-daily driver and to move boxes and materials for my company — maybe even some light overlanding and...

    Issues with a 91 Cherokee Laredo

    I have the opportunity to purchase a 1991 Cherokee Laredo at a great price in excellent condition (70k miles). Other than my current TJ, I don't have any experience with older Jeeps. (is a 91 an "XJ"?) Are there any known issues that I should be aware of? (Obviously I'll look for frame rust)...

    North Carolina Bestop Upper Door Sliders - Black Denim

    I'm honestly not sure! But I'd be interested to know the answer to this as well — I've considered getting a hardtop, but I'm not interested in needing to invest in full doors.

    North Carolina Bestop Upper Door Sliders - Black Denim

    I have a set of Bestop upper door sliders from the PO that have been sitting in my garage this past year. Unknown how old they are, but are in "good" condition (not excellent, but definitely in working order with no cracks in the glass or rips in the fabric, etc). They just need some cleaning...

    What have you 3D printed for your TJ?

    I was a heavy Solidworks user for 10+ years. Switched to Fusion360 when I started my company several years ago and haven't looked back since. A bit of a learning curve with how it handles parametric modeling, but with the addition of easy direct editing of models (and not to mention the savings...
