    2005 LJ Rubicon *newly detailed*

    Newly detailed 10/13/19 This is a 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, also known as an LJ, LJR, TJU etc... I flew to Oregon in 2018 to get this Jeep. This jeep has zero rust on the body and frame is clean as a 2005 can be. It has been stored for all the winters it spent in the rust belt...

    POP felt/heard when turning, but only inside

    So I know there are tons of threads like this and I searched many, but they all seem to have different symptoms than this issue. I notice a pop when I turn the Jeep at any speed that can be felt and heard clearly by both me and the passenger. It feels like it was coming up from the floor. I...

    Spare tire cap vs cover

    A while back I was looking at American Convoy's soft top and saw a spare tire cover that I really liked! I was wondering if anyone else can seen one/something like it? It's not like a normal cover that goes over the entire tire.

    Possibly the last phone mount you'll ever buy?

    Gotta say I’m pretty happy with this phone mount. I’ve been struggling with different brands (both rather costly and cheap) over the years that either attached to the windshield with a suction cup or vent attachments that get in the way of the AC/heat. This mount doubles as a cup holder and...

    ZJ steering (crown kit) boots?

    Of those who use the crown HD steering kit (also the same as the ZJ steering mod)... I put it on and torqued to spec (55ft lbs) but that seems to completely flatten the boots and they won’t take any grease. Zerks flow when removed and tested without resistance. Should I loosen the nuts to...

    Anyone know where to get CNC rock rings?

    Looking for a shop or person to make some custom rock rings for 16” Steelies. Anyone have any advice or suggestions. Attached is a pic of what I’m trying to replicate. I know below shows a beadlock but I’m just interested in the rock ring itself.

    Drilling holes in the jeep. How do you stop rust?

    Do I have to spray the holes I drill? Can I just use silicone and sandwich the silicone with washers?

    Flex ramp competition with stock arms?

    I am going to a Jeep show tomorrow and they have a flex ramp as a fun attraction. I don’t have adjustable arms (I actually still have the stock control arms and just coil spacers). Will I really mess up my suspension if I try the flex ramp with the stock suspension? My bump stops are dialed in...

    Finally an InstaTrunk for an LJ

    Got together with my dad who is now a retired engineer and we quick put together our own instatruck because they don’t make one that uses ALL the space behind the seat. Used 1” industrial grade MDF for strength and then a marine grade carpet. STOKED with the results, looks way better then the...

    Cheap powder coat removal?

    Looking at getting fenders finally. Really like the look of these hoodline tube fenders with a 3” flare. The only issue is that they can’t be ordered bare metal and I know the “powder coat” is cheap and will flake/rust. I want to remove it and paint them correctly. I know chemical solvents don’t...

    KC HiLiTES Gravity Pro6 LED Lightbar Giveaway

    Stock TJ cage vs JK cage?

    Ok so I have an lj and a buddy has a mount that runs from roll bar to roll bar on his c pillars (for his jk). He doesn’t need it anymore and is willing to sell it to me but I doubt that the width between his roll bars is the same width on my LJ. Am I wrong? Doesn’t any one know? I attached a...

    Annual oil change?

    I just heard about Mobil 1 coming out with a full synthetic that can supposedly last 1 year (20,000 miles) as well as a filter that can last as well. I'm skeptical but maybe someone on here knows more about it than me? I am pretty religious with changing mine out every 3k. I see its only...

    CJ Restoration done right

    Not TJ (maybe I should have put this in the off-topic section), but i really enjoyed watching these young guys restore this CJ the right way. Makes me want to take apart my lj piece by piece but something tells me it is a little more complex than that old CJ lol. I really like that 350 they put...

    LJ factory soft top sunrider bow assembly

    I have two factory bow assemblies for soft tops on an LJ that will convert them into the sunrider feature if not already. Not really sure what they are worth. Hoping maybe around $150 OBO? Just want them gone for space, I went to frameless and don't need anymore. Both come with factory header...

    what alignment specs warrant an alignment?

    Went to a shop to get alignment checked and they said it all looks good except my toe is about +0.02. I saw a thread a while back that your toe should be within .015 on either side. My question is does this toe warrant me getting an alignment? I would probably do it myself rather than pay them...

    Complete set of the slim tire carrier (includes everything from every washer and bolt that came with it from the factory). This model is the slim series, it does not have room for big jerry cans like the other version. I was also informed that they are rebooting the jerry can model so if you...

    Beadlock Mickey Thompson 15x8s?

    I found a set of these about a year ago. I rushed to buy them but the guy sold them out from under me. I found a single one for sale again. I was thinking about picking it up but its only a single wheel. I would need to try to find 4 more. Have you guys seen these wheels around? are they more...
