    Project; Save an LJ

    Well, I knew this was coming. It has finally happened, after purchasing this LJ 48k miles from Vermont/Maine, the frame has given out. It’s rotting in every area. I could keep neglecting it and also lose the tub but I’m almost done with grad school and am already working a decent enough job...

    Need advice on build! 05 LJ

    So I have finally managed to pay off all debt, including student loans at 24, I own two Harleys, an 05 LJ with 66k on the dash, and feel like I have some freedom financially to build my Jeep. Right now it is sitting an old 2.5 EMU lift, no body lift and honestly pretty stock (Dana 30/Dana 44 3.73 on...

    WTB: Dana 30/Dana 44 Axles

    Sup guys! I got a 05 LJ looking to ditch my 3.73 axles rather than rebuilding them. I am doing a complete restoration on it, and the axles I have are rusted to shit and I would have to replace a lot of shit on them rather than just regearing them like I had hoped. I live in NY, Westchester...

    Need some help with my LJ 42RLE

    Okay so I have a 2005 LJ with about 56k miles. I have not been using it much as these gas prices are insane. However today it is 95 where I live and decided to hit the beach. I noticed it being way more sluggish than it normally is. When stopped at a red light, I would have to press the gas and...

    SOLD 2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ Auto - 87K Miles - $14.7K

    I disagree, seeing these go for 25k with way higher miles on Facebook, and not in factory condition. I think if done right Safe T Caps are great. Plus as stated below, down here in the northeast. It's bound to happen. My LJ with only 54k has got some rot. Think I will be replacing the frame...

    My new-to me LJ

    So the Jeep decided to not start last night at the gym. Got out from my evening pump, hop in. No start... I was pretty confident that it was the starter, as I have been hearing scratching noises when starting it over the last couple of weeks. It has also been doing this and I would go under hit...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I did before finding the split in the wiring

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Besides the code what problems are you having with the jeep? Any trouble starting? Any burps or spurts driving? Any random shutters or shut offs? My only problem was the gas gauge not being functional. Besides that everything else was fine.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    I did, after putting in the Bosch fuel pump me and my friend quickly realized that it wasn’t a fuel pump issue as it made absolutely no change to the Jeep. It also obviously didn’t take the code off. I sent it to one of my dads friends who is a mechanic and specializes in electric problems. In 1...

    What do I need to run 35s on a 2005 LJ non-Rubicon?

    Yeah I am running 33s but I feel like they look so small on the LJ. Will I absolutely need new brakes? I just put new ones in front and rear two weeks ago lol

    What do I need to run 35s on a 2005 LJ non-Rubicon?

    Thanks for your input! I will go ahead and order that kit, looks good. Not too bad for 600$ if it'll hold up. The rough country kit is only 300ish dollars so I might as well buy once cry later right

    Okay so for my birthday last week my brother gifted me with a 5.13s pinion and gears with master overhaul kits for my 2005 LJ. I got a dana 30 in the front and dana 44 in the back. The Jeep is mostly used for regular driving, some trails, no crawling, no rocks. Sometimes light mudding. Snow...

    Dog breeds

    This is my Siberian Husky; Ghost. I got him a baby almost a year ago and I’ve never had a goofier dog. He is smart, funny and even talks. Won’t shut the hell up actually, especially when he wants to go out. He loves my Jeep. It’s his favorite thing to do, even with 33 inch tires and 2.5 inch...
