I’ve owned TJs with the 4.0 for the last 24 years and have always wanted to put a V8 in one. My 18 year old daughter thinks it would be cool to help put in a Corvette V8 and I don’t have a good argument against it besides the 5.9L Magnum being an easier swap. I think I may finally be ready to...

2000 TJ, 4.0, manual transmission, 83,000 miles When my engine revs are falling and I’m coasting up to a turn the steering becomes heavy for a fraction of a second and then returns to the normal/expected amount of assistance. If I flip to neutral then keep my foot on the throttle to hold the...

I need to replace an intermediate pipe on a 2000 TJ and that seems to be a rare item. I've got the 2 outlet manifold and then the Y-shaped pipe that wraps around the front of the oil pan but no cats. It looks the same as the mini-cat pipe from 2001+ but without the cats. It looks like it may...

I only received one well-worn aftermarket key with this recent 70,000 mile TJ purchase. That key worked fine but l wouldn't stay in the ignition when in on/run/acc positions and caused at least 2 dead batteries for me when other drivers in the family removed the key thinking it was in the off...

2000 TJ Sahara. My daughter had an encounter between the front left wheel and a concrete barrier. The other issues have been fixed but the front driveshaft got a small dent in it from contact with the exhaust. I’ve got a vibration above 55 mph regardless of engine speed, gear, or clutch...

My daughter bent a stock control arm (and rashed up a wheel on a curb) so I was considering the possibility of aftermarket adjustable replacements all around. Is there any reason to do this with a 2.5" coil lift though? Or should I just buy an OE clone arm?

This is my third TJ. First was a 1998 Chili Pepper Red Sport with Dana 44 that I eventually sold and regretted it. Then, when my daughter started driving in 2021 I picked up a 2001 Solar Yellow Sport, also with Dana 44. Unfortunately, an inattentive 18-wheeler pushed her into the guardrail of...

I'm swapping a Dana 44 out of a wrecked 2001 TJ that I own into a new-to-me 2000 that has the Dana 35. They're both manuals with 3.73s. I'll be putting in the 2.5" lift on with 1.5" bumpstop extensions simultaneously. Anyway, should I bring over the donor driveshaft or leave the stock...

2001 TJ, Rough Country 2.5" lift (installed by previous owner), 31x10.50 BFG ATs on aftermarket rims, and I'm swapping in Rancho RS 5000x shocks. I already swapped in the rears and they ride so much better than the Rough Country. There are currently no bumpstop extensions and the original...

I bought a 140,000 mile 2001 TJ a few weeks back and have been picking away at the few issues it has. I had a '98 for about a decade so I was pretty familiar with the TJ and just wanted another with my daughter starting to drive. I used to be a regular on the Jeep Journal forums back in the...
