Yeah, found one from someone selling one on here.

I'm aware of the damage that a hood bra can cause, but I still want one.

Looking to buy a genuine Mopar TJ hood bra, payment via PayPal.

I had a 98 & 03 TJ. I regretting selling the 03 almost the day it was sold in 09. When I was getting ready to retire I decided to buy another TJ as a retirement gift to myself. Didn't even considered another generation. I focused my search on 03s to 06s, and picked up a loaded 04 Sahara last...

Are your tub mucket seals still in place? I know those can sometimes get removed if the hardtop is ever removed.

This.

You have to buy aftermarket wheels to run 33s.

No, I like the size and the utilitarian design & functions of the TJ. We also own XJ that's on its last legs, and if we ever replace it, we'd want another XJ before a JK or JL.

Yep, mystery solved. I managed to find an old 2007 thread of mine. For the silver TJ I bought a Rubicon Express RE 7000 3.5 springs, short arm lift kit with a one inch body lift for it. Thanks for the feedback.

I just don't remember a body lift kit being installed along with the RE 4 inch lift kit. But I do remember installing a radiator fan shroud spacers on it. Here's another angle. I guess it's a possibility, I just wished I could remember for sure. And yes I just had a OME 2inch lift kit recently...

Thanks folks. This is the tailgate reinforcement kit I bought. I read good product reviews so I hope it works as good as advertised. @dan lee I believe my kit includes a couple OEM tire carrier bracket extenders. If not I'll be looking for a tire relocation bracket.

Now that I'm looking at the pic I'm wondering if a one inch body space was installed in addition to the 4 inch Rubicon Express lift kit that I had installed? I don't remember a body lift, but I suppose it's a possibility. Plus now that I'm thinking about it, I do remember a radiator fan shroud...

Back in day I had an 03 Sport TJ and ran 33s and then upgraded to 35s. Other than installing a 3rd brake spacer kit I could have swore that both spares tires fit on the OEM tire carrier w/no modifications. In retrospect it wasn't smart, but it is what it is. I picked up an 04 Sahara last year...
