    Improved audio acoustics with various top configurations

    We have noticed once we removed the windows from the soft top, the quality of the acoustics in the radio audio actually improved. At least is sounded clearer and louder. Yes, while in motion, the volume has to be raised somewhat, but it still sounded better. I have yet to fully remove the top...

    Anyone just enjoying their TJ worry free?

    One thing I take away from this forum, is all the issues, problems and questions on how to repair items. I enjoy driving my TJ, but always in the back of my mind is the worry of what may fail next? It’s an 18 year old vehicle, not a shiny new machine with a worry free bumper to bumper warranty...

    Is your windshield currently cracked?

    Just thought it would be interesting to see how many of your TJ’s windshields have a crack that require full replacement to correct. I know mine is currently.

    Finally ditched the 35's for 33's

    I was running 35x12.5x15 Cooper Discoverer STT Pros on 15x8 steel wheels. Changed to 15x8 aluminum wheels I purchased from a forum member, now wrapped with BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO2’s. And holy shit did it make an enormous difference in ride quality and performance. Though the diameter is...

    Pavement Ends by Bestop soft top question

    The rear window on the soft top has 2 zippers. One on each side that when closed, is zipped from the top to bottom. There is no top zipper, so how do I remove the window? I am not 100% sure how to remove the top either. If someone has experience with this top or can even link to instructions of...

    Questions regarding tire flex

    The picture is from Patches, the '02 TJ build thread. Hope he doesn’t mind. The question is when the tires flex like that, what part(s) of the axle/shafts/suspension allow for it? And how much wear/damage is being done?

    Suggestions on dealing with body mount rust

    My TJ is a 2001 Sport. I believe it has only seen 2 Michigan winters. I purchased it earlier this winter and it will be our warm weather toy, stored winters as it is now. Today being warmer out, I was able to snap some photos of some problem areas around the body mounts. These 2 are on the...

    If you find value in these forums, I highly recommend doing this............

    Please upgrade your account if possible. In my opinion, the member's knowledge, friendliness, humor and willingness to help others is plain awesome. Personally, by just posting a few pics in a thread, members were able to identify what brand lift my TJ has, as well as being hawk eyed enough to...

    Steering box brace: Yes, no, or indifferent?

    I would think this would not be a bad idea in most cases with lifts and larger tires. But they really do not appear to be a common mod by most. Thoughts.........? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B2AEHJ2/?tag=wranglerorg-20

    Name that lift!

    Hi all, recent purchase of 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport with what I make out to be a 4” suspension lift. Are there any identifiers in the pics that would allude to the brand of said lift? If different pics will be helpful, please let me know of what? I appreciate the help, as I have zero clue. The...
