I picked this up on Craigslist. I don’t see any markings on it. Bumper thickness is .260, so I think 1/4” plate.

This is my passenger side lower front control arm. These were on the jeep when I bought it. I thought the lift kit was a Rubicon Express, but these don’t look like the arms on their website. Maybe there are an older version. There is a snap ring on one side and the other side is not...

I went out to do the final break in of my black magic brakes on my 2004 LJ this morning and noticed a funny smell and then smoke coming out around the hazard switch. I quickly ran for a wrench to disconnect the battery with visions of the it bursting into flame before I could return...

I picked up a pair of these because Morris 4x4 is selling them for $99 with free shipping and I need something to replace the factory step for some light off reading, not rock crawling. The latest versions don’t require any drilling, so I figure worst case I’m out $109 (CA Tax) minus what I can...

I re-keyed the full door lock cylinder from 2000 to work with the ignition key for a 2004 using information from another thread on the forum and the tumbler kit from ebay. It was surprising simple.

Does anyone know if Gr8Tops is still around? I haven’t been able to get anyone to answer the phone or reply to an email in the last couple of monthe’s. In my opinion the option to run the safari top and switch between soft and hard sides is the ideal top.

It’s more for wind and Sun, definitely does not seal up cab from rain as you end up with sizable gaps around the rollbar and doors.

Great, so it sounds like there are different size lock cylinders and they may need to be matched to the style of door or year, but that all keys in use from 97-06 can be made to work with all lock cylinders in use from 97-06. Thanks All.

Thanks for the reply Tom. Did you re-key your 97 half doors to work with your 2006 key, or replace the lock cylinders?

That’s exactly it. I installed that on mine years ago to basiclay make a soft top half cab In combination with a bikini top. The downside is the seats have to be pretty much at 90 degrees our you have to move them forward, and your sound bar is now outside of the cab.

Here is my current key & lock situation which is a mess, but I believe the Jeep was repossessed at one point in its history. I have one working aftermarket ignition key with SKIS/SKIM. I have a second aftermarket key cut for the ignition cylinder but it is not programmed to the car or is not a...

I know this thread is old, but figured better than starting a new one. I placed an order with on their website earlier this week. The only option was pay by phone. I received an order confirmation email but can't get anyone to answer the phone at the number provided in the order confirmation...

Thanks for the explanation.

Bump. I’ve tried searching to no avail for the code.

jscherb, is your TJ rack available anywhere? And thanks for all your excellent designs. i bought an exogate about 5 years ago and it is great. I recently picked up an LJ that came with a smittybilt XRC rear bumper and carrier and now I appreciate the simplicity, smoothness, and quietness of...
