My first wrangler is a 2005 jeep tj with 6spd 2.4l hardtop, 245/75/16 tires on xj icon rims. Bilistein 5100 shocks with a 2" spacer lift 126xxx miles. This is my first wrangler and I see the hype now I love this thing. I daily drive it mostly I dint off road it besides down dirt roads and such. What do you all think? Good or?
 
Consumers around this part of the cyber hate Jeeps, especially Jeep TJ's.
 
My bad. Did I post this in the wrong forum?

Yes, this is a Jeep hate forum. We're all extremely RACIST against Jeeps and some even hate Land Cruisers for no reason as well.

Wranglertjforum started out as a Storm Front subforum before it got kicked off the internet. We're actually on the SPLC hate watch list of bad guys.

I like watching it slowly rust. Fucking piece of shit Jeep!

I see I see, well tjs do rust real bad so you will be throughouly entertained with it. I see why you bought one 😂
 
Nice jeep. Good little lift too, any more and it’s a snowball affect. I’m not a fan of bilstein 5100s but I’m a lighter tj than most so they’re extra stiff for me.

Thank you. I bought it as is with the spacer lift but tj shocks were blown out so I got the 5100s and I dont know the difference between the 5100s and anything else. Only thing I can compare it is how it rode with blown out shocks. lol
 
What do you all think?
I don't believe you without photographic proof. :unsure:

I replaced a set of Ranch 9000s with Bilsteins and didn’t notice any difference.

Crappy Jeep couldn’t have a decent ride no matter what suspension was under it. Total POS filling rattler. My dentist loves it.
