    Who has the best TJ?

    Guitars and Jeeps.. awesome thread!!! I have mine in with a friend of mine who is the absolute most OCD detailer on the planet, so this picture is NOT my prettiest jeep picture once he is complete with dry ice blasting the underneath, re-dying the entire interior, and ceramic coating the whole...

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    I don’t know what it did, but something about the tires that were on it, be that balance or wear or alignment or spacing, was definitely causing some horrible ride quality. It was all over the road and honestly felt very unstable and unsafe. The difference is night and day with these new wheels...

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    Oh, and PS…. I love the more stock and modern look of the new wheels.

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    So I finally got some new wheels and tires from a guy that took them off his 2019 Rubicon. Its been raining or cold and raining for over a week so just got a chance today to throw them on. Man, either tires and wheels got REALLY heavy since I last did this, or I got a lot older and broken. So...

    Whitney's Back to Stock Build: A Tribute to my first Jeep (04 Wrangler Sport, Light Khaki Metallic)

    Ya, i would say that taking the dash apart is not in the books for me either. Where did you find this SEM 5545? I looked on line and it shows me every color except that one.

    Whitney's Back to Stock Build: A Tribute to my first Jeep (04 Wrangler Sport, Light Khaki Metallic)

    Did you ever figure out the dash paint problem? I have the same thing on my 2005 TJ… its mostly the airbag cover on passenger side, but it looks like there is black coming through the beige, like someone lightly sanded it and stopped. It doesn’t bother me that much, but I would love to find a...

    2006 Rubicon with 120k

    Looks like it was towed behind an RV from the looks of the brackets on the front bumper. Could be wrong, but something to be aware of.

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    I called him… Brian I think. He told me he would look for the normal suspects and if he couldn’t find it he would put on a double shock stabilizer and I would never see the problem again. Its really hard for me to argue with a man whose job is to fix cars and trucks for a living as I work in...

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    Wow… well even with the issues I am having, I think I got a great jeep. The carfax shows a real history of mileage to prove its really 40K (unless it was towed or speedo disconnected) and a lot of service history. My biggest fear was rust as well, and so I had it checked and then I checked in...

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    I went and checked the price of all the parts they quote and they are really close to what I can buy them for on Quadratec or other sites. The reason he told me that he is using higher priced parts is that they are fully serviceable with grease and rebuild possibility. Not sure why they are...

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    It doesn’t… just the backspacing I assume. I am contemplating new black steelie wheels with less push on them when I get the tires. We will see what Black Friday has to offer.

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    It is white now. I just put pictures from before as it was the first ones that came up and it was really just about the wheels and tires and suspension…

    Am I getting Rubi-conned?

    Yes, based on features in the jeep and more importantly, the vin.
