Hey everyone - it's getting warm here in the northeast, and it's time to start thinking about how to build out Ole Yeller. WIth the COVID-19 stuff going on, my need to ESCAPE has gone up dramatically, so I'm thinking of refitting my 2000 TJ to make it a better camping platform. Safari rack and...

Hey veryone. I'm goign to take my july 4th week off work to do some tuning on Ol Yeller. There's a bunch of basic work I'll be doing (horn, headlight switches, wiper motors, etc), but on my last drive out, I heard a quick stall / stutter that wasn't normal. It didn't throw any codes (no...

Hey everyone - just scored a safari rack for the Ole Yeller on craigslist ($50, can't complain!) - I think I'm missing some mounting hardware though - this would be for the rear. I think the front brackets re fine (they look to fit on the windshield sides fine - note the front brackets are not...

Ol Yeller developed a problem in the headlight switch - when you pull on the knob, the lights don't go on until you really fiddle around with it. Push it in slightly, wiggle it, etc. I thought it was non-use, but even after a few weeks of fiddling with it, it's not getting better. I bought a...

HI everyone. My 2000 TJ, Old Yeller, has been running like a clock since I got it 3 years ago. I went away on a trip, and it sat for 2 months (in the garage). When I came back, I took it out for a drive because I missed my pal. Started up perfectly, drove it about 5 miles, and... it...

Hey everyone! I'm currently travelling abroad, and back home my wife went to use the TJ, and we can't locate the key ANYWHERE. We've turned the house upside down. I only had one key (dumb me, I know), and it was getting a little worn anyway, so we'd like to replace the key. The TJ has no...

Hey everyone. I have a Besttop 'pavement ends' frameless sprint top for Ol Yeller. I initially just put the top on, but added the sides later. It's... okay, but it seems to be fitting badly. I wonder if I'm doing it wrong. In particular, I tried to put the read window / flap on (again), and...

Hey everyone. My TJ is going to become my daily ride for a while, and it's in great shape and is awesome, the seats have definitely taken on that musty-old-foam smell. They're still originals (from 2000, 18 years old!), and I'm sure they've gotten wet, and dry-rotted, and god knows what else...

While working on Ole Yeller today ( I'll post the details of what we did on the build thread here: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/2000-tj-ol-yeller.1791/ ), we noticed that Yeller was leaning slightly to the right. We hauled it up on the lift and looked around. What I'm looking for from...

One of my turn indicator bulbs has blown, and while digging around for a replacement bulb, I'm seeing gobs and gobs of replacement lights, all LED. I'm considering replacing my rear lights with LED fixtures for red and backup (whole light blinks for turn, if I remember correctly). What do...

So this cold rainy weather is getting me down. Old yeller normally hasa bikini top on, and that's just not good for rain and < 60 degree weather. I'm concerned Siderhaving a besttop NX or similar (rampage seems to make one also) that works with door surrounds and can be Upped off if I want to...

Hillclimb Racing 2 from Fingersoft It's silly and goofy and cartoon like, but i've been playing this for a couple years. The new version is just as good, and not only can you drive a nice classic jeep, but build up a nice tricked out one too. highly recommended 10/10. Would waste time with...

Hey jeepgeekz. I'm getting close to re-installing my rear seat on Ol Yeller. This seat has never actually been mounted since I've had it in my posession, so I ebayed the 4 brackets (got 'em), but no bolts. The bolt holes are in the tub (covered with bedliner paint, but I can clean that off)...

Hey everyone, it's spring and it's time to get to work, so I'm getting ready to go the next step on the audio on Ol Yeller (See https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/2000-tj-ol-yeller.1791/#post-28765 for build thread). The head unit and speaker replacement went great, and has 'helped', but since...

Hey folks. I have a set of OEM mirrors, since during the summer I use a set of rock doors. These mirrors look fine, but they no longer clamp in place, and will drift backwards at highway speeds. The secondary problem is in the winter, when I have my full doors on, the doors hit them and push...

Yo guys. I was at the White Mountain Jeep Invasion last week (https://www.flickr.com/photos/planet-geek/albums/72157671548781934/with/30238076105/ for the full photo spread) and saw this safari rack. It's hinged so it can be moved out of the way to put on / take off the hard top, and I like the...

I hate these idiot lights. My yellow engine light just came on. Oil pressure is good. Its running beautifully. No obvious electrical issues. Wtf? Pic later when my network stops sucking.. geek. berlin, ma. 2000 TJ. http://planet-geek.com

My TJ has stock Jeep rims which can't handle the 31s without spacers. My TJ guru strongly recommends getting wheels with the right offsets. So here's what I'm looking for. Rims: -12 offset 9" 16" Tires: 31". Yoko's preferably. Don't need mud, but better than radials. This isn't my daily...

Ol Yeller is squeaking. Maybe just having the top off for the summer means I'm hearing it but it doesn't make me happy. I'd like help tracking it down. As far as I can tell there's three sources. First appears to be suspension related. SOME bumps cause a squeak or three as the suspension...
