    What's the most important mod?

    Ok, I didn’t see this anywhere else. 1. Angry bird grill 2. Light bar 3. 20” wheels 😁 Nah just kidding. Probably my best mod was aftermarket headlights. Hard to see with the factory ones

    4 cylinder acts like it's starving for fuel

    Mine done he same thing, turned out the ignition coil located on the left side of the engine under the distributer. The coil was cracked and allowing moisture to get in. If not then clean your iac or throttle body with some carb cleaner. That ethanol fuel will build up gunk in it.

    Title and Registration Fiasco

    Well I’ll sued under the advice of my lender and the dmv. That’s not me, I have never sued anybody but I was like you, pissed off to no end. A dealer won’t take you serious but when the police personally hand them summons and about that point they see you’re not f’ing around. The first 30 days...

    Title and Registration Fiasco

    I just went through this exact thing. I bought my tj in early September 2018 and apparently the previous owner had died and his wife traded it in. Well they sold me a vehicle without them being in possession of a title which is against the law! most dealerships do this and hope within 30 days...

    Freeway driving: TJ doesn't want to go faster than 75 mph

    I have the 2.5 with 4.10 on stock wheels and have no problem hitting 80 in the flats. Hills are a different story. Usually have to drop to third to gain any speed. At 3k rpm in 5th, I’m running around 72mph. May need a regear ole tater.

    Post pictures of your green TJs

    Well, I use them for either actually. They are actually considered a flood light according to the description. I ordered them off eBay and they was pretty cheap and like most cheap leds, they interfere with the radio signal in my Jeep and for some reason mine gets a little moisture in them but...

    35s or larger on a Dana 30?

    I wouldn’t see any problems as long as you don’t do anything crazy. Should be alright. I know some will say absolutely not but only you know your driving skills so(y) I have a friend who runs 35 12.50 on stock axles and stock gears 4.10 with 2.5cyl. It doesn’t have much power but as far as...

    Good for a first time driver?

    I see where this is going, “driving it for a couple years before she gets it.” Either one of two things will happen, she’s not getting it and you’ll have to get another one for her or you’ll give it to her and get you another one ;)

    How to install a stereo signal amplifier

    Update: After about a week of trying the amplifier out, it didn’t take care of my led noise from the fog lights. On a high note, in some situations to where some radio stations are faint, it will pick them up a little better but nothing tremendous like you would expect. Another thing I noticed...

    How to install a stereo signal amplifier

    That’s a great idea. I’ll be honest, I don’t like the wire taps either but I guess the previous owner added a 6 disc changer and they used them so I used what was already there. I never used the changer so I took it and all it’s components out with it.
