    Looking for a rust free TJ?

    That California sun did its work on all the plastic exterior parts! But looks good other than that from the pic!

    Sold the TJ on Friday, then this happened on Saturday

    Thank you Chris! I also prefer the 2 door look, and there is more room then I though in the JK. And yes, the TJ is far more simple. Lifting the hood of the JK, only to be greeted by a giant piece of plastic quickly reminded me of the 17 year span that I have upgraded to. This being only my...

    Sold the TJ on Friday, then this happened on Saturday

    It turned out to be the plan, so to speak. Selling the TJ (third vehicle), and purchasing a daily driver Wrangler and my wife then driving my Ford Escape, once her lease is up at year's end on her Dodge Journey made sense for us. We will then be down to 2 vehicles we purchased with having no...

    I agree, as I am no rock crawler, which the Rubicon is better suited for. The Willys Edition checks the boxes for us! It was to great a deal to pass on and we could not be more happy with it so far. Here is what the Willys Edition Includes: 17–Inch x 7.5–Inch High Gloss Black Wheels...

    Can I make the switch to a larger wheel without facing other issues?

    From what the forum members have been able to help me figure out, as I bought it with the 4” lift. Currie control arms, springs are possibly Currie or Rubicon Express. In the small time I looked, I haven’t found an identifier on them. Track bar may also be Rubicon Express. Shocks are Rancho...

    Some dash lights not working

    Looks like the Rear Wipe (6) calls for a 20A, and there is a 10A installed. Just an observation.

    The wave

    With the weather finally turning for the better here in Michigan, and coming off of one of the best weekend weather days we'll ever see, the Jeep wave has been in full effect. 99% of the time it's the 2 finger peace sign wave. My wife used to call me a dork for waving, now she points out to me...

    I am running 33" x 12.5" x 15" on 15" x 8" American Racing rims and couldn't be happier!

    What wire is this?

    Holy shit! That is the cleanest engine bay I have seen on a TJ! Sorry, I am unsure on the wire. But damn is that clean!

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Just added polyfill to the sound bar and front dash speakers, and what a huge difference! No more sound bar vibration, clearer crisper and more directionally driven audio. I am extremely impressed with the sound quality now! An amplified subwoofer is now on the list of additions.

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    Thank you, I have upgraded to LED's. I am going to stuff the speaker openings with polyfil and see if that helps some. I already verified that the sound bar mounting bolts are not loose.

    I have a pioneer head unit, not the factory one. Sorry, I should have stated that.

    Upgrading the sound system on your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I installed 4 of the Polk DB522 speakers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EZWFNKA/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Two in the front dash and two in the sound bar. I have an issue with the sound bar vibrating and the plastic light lens cover. I assume the bass gets played from the rear sound bar and the fronts...
