    More I thought of this I find it weird. I read you don’t need to do the drop on a rubicon. Do you need to do anything to the front drive shaft?

    Looking for opinions on two TJs

    Oh I wasn’t understanding. I got a better deal! I have a company truck with a fuel card. But on my days off I give the little Jeep heck. Honestly I wish I could drive it everyday but sometimes I get called out for work and I need to have my work truck with me at all times except on days off. I...

    not sure where you got the plow thing from. but yeah most frames in this area is crap from all the salt. its not unusual to see several places where the frame has been patched. my 2.5 has been patched in 3 places. we have a local hot rod shop and one of his biggest money makers is patching frames

    I don't understand you mean. you mean save for a for a new one? I have 15k cash for another jeep, I don't finance toys. not saying the wrangler is a toy but it is in this circumstance for me it is since I have a 2011 f150 and 2018 cherokee (the wifes). The 2.5L wrangler is the fourth wrangler I...

    Looking for opinions on two TJs

    yeah I verified both vin online before I looked at them. the red one is a rubicon. plus it has what i like in transmission and soft top. plus the lower mileage. its the one I'm leaning too. but the savings of 2k is nice, which why the yellow one was a contender and closer to my house. both is...

    Looking for opinions on two TJs

    yeah these are just what they sent before i went to look. frames has some normal car rust but not holes or big bubbly areas. the high mileage concerns me on the one that has the automatic. what do you think about the 202k miles?

    Looking for opinions on two TJs

    ok I think I'm getting rid of the 2.5L once I get it back out of the transmission shop. I just want a little more than the four squirrels. i have narrowed it down to these two choices. I don't like to finance so I pay cash and this is what I am allowing myself. $8k yellow jeep 2004 Jeep...

    I wouldn't attempt to do it myself anyway. I will stick with u joints, brakes and such

    Upgrade suggestions, gearing questions, and a Rubicon question

    ok , so say they do fail. is it harder or easier to replace them with something else. than say a tj sport with no lockers or aftermarket. is it no different than adding lockers to a sport I guess I am trying to say.

    Upgrade suggestions, gearing questions, and a Rubicon question

    Yeah, so far I haven’t had a problem. In the future I may want to try deeper holes or bigger rocks but for now it’s done everything I have asked. Except a long uphill mudslide I could have used some lockers for help, but eventually bored to the top. I guess my only gripe has been the highway...
