    Look what Santa via my son brought me

    A cute Cj steel ornament for my tree. Except I didn’t do a tree this year. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and a better New Year.

    Best interior door latches

    Looking to replace my passenger interior door latch [that broke through at the screw] but the reviews on the quadratec site are not too promising for what they’re selling. Should I look for a oem handle to rob? Anybody make one with a steel body? Driver side is fine. Anyone have an opinion on a...

    Why are the cowl vents different on Tj's?

    Now that I’m installing my ss Cj cowl vent cover over the existing vent I have noticed that some Tj’s have small vents like mine while other have 3x bigger cowl vents. Why the difference? Just curious.

    Tire size impact on mileage

    When I get my next set of tires would switching from 30x9.50R15 to 225x75R15 tires improve my stock Tj’s mileage?

    Outer Banks Jeep Jam coming up

    Anyone on the forum planning on taking their Tj’s to the Outer Banks Jeep Jam in September? Ever been? I’m going to try to get over there as I’ll already be in Manns Harbor for my CAS club’s monthly shoot. I’m sure I’ll miss a lot as the Saturday match runs from 8 to 3. But I’ve never been to a...

    Thinking about painting my 02 dash bezel, anyone done it?

    With all the agate interior in Ripley I was thinking about adding some color. My upgraded seats will have some red in them, my steering wheel cover has red trim along with my grab handles on my roll bar. I think that I’d like to paint my dash bezel candy apple red which will match my steering...

    TJ pocket flare advice needed

    My plan is to have Ripley repainted [same color] this fall [undercoated as soon as I’m able to get it done]. Half cab and tonneau will match the body. My question is about the pocket flares that I want to install. What would be best, remove the oem flares along with any or all nutserts that need...

    Need some horn improvement

    As part of my Cj8/Tj build I want to remove the meep meep oem horn and use a pair of ‘69 Fury horns from an old Fury that I once had. If it had been a 2 door I would have kept it. I had them in my ‘84 Scrambler too. They have a good sound. Anyway, I removed the Tj horn and mounted the two...

    The 2 taped up rectangular holes over my windshield

    I’m not a total moron and can see that the roof locks into these 2 holes but mine are wrapped up in packing tape? In googling images of sun visors I see other Jeeps with the same nasty tape around these holes. Is there some plug or piece of trim that is supposed to conceal or finish this [imo]...

    What is the v-brace behind my TJ grille called and is it even necessary?

    The ‘v’ brace behind my Tj’s grille is very rusty and an eyesore. As nice and clean as the engine compartment is I’m surprised but what’s it actually called, is it a replaceable part or should I just remove it? Trying to find it on line with no luck.

    Love my TJ but hate the seats

    Ripley [the name I’ve given to my Tj ] has perfectly fine oem seats in her but... the backs are way too short for me at 6’4 so I’ve got no headrest contact at all. I would love to use a seat from my ‘13 Edge which is very comfortable and has a good headrest but I’m sure it wouldn’t fit. Anybody...

It’s got a new starter, new brake lines, new caliper hoses, all matching lug nuts, new wiper arms, balanced tires, an oil change and filter, brake pads and drums checked good, 4 wheel drive stuff was good and...

    Should I put a piece of plastic between Quadratec mirror movers?

    Parts are piling up in my den but no Tj in the carport yet. The Quadratec mirror movers came today and I’m curious. Should I put a piece of plastic or very thin rubber between the steel Quadratec mirror movers and my jeep body to protect the Tj’s paint?

Whats the best matched DIY rattle can paint available? Possibly will get it repainted at some point as I’d rather have...
