Auction started this morning. We will see how it goes...nerve wracking for me mostly. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2004-jeep-wrangler-109/

Selling my subwoofer enclosure with amp and newer subwoofer. I needed the space inside the center console for interior electronics and wiring for my LS swap, so I no longer need this. Works as it should. $100 obo - and I can ship it if you’d like, but buyer pays all shipping costs and does leg...

Howdy folks! I've got about...16k miles and 1 year in to the LS swap, and I figured I'd drop a bit of an update. This thing is STILL a blast to drive, but I'll be honest, there have been a few times where I've had it with working on it and almost threw in the towel a few times. Almost sold it...

My oldest daughter gave me this today. That’s a pic I took of my Jeep on a wheelin trip her and I did a few years ago up off of FR300 in the Payson area. Literally started crying right there. Those are always the best trips. ❤️ She might be my favorite right now…but don’t tell my other kids. 🤣

2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 5.3 :cool: I had to replace the hinges on the glass liftgate, and in doing so, I needed to remove the washer motor to complete the task. There is a nut that is attached externally to the shaft coming through the glass that the wiper arm then attaches to. That nut...

I tend to talk to myself quite a bit …sooo, the interesting write up you mention is just an extension of how I’m literally talking to myself…mostly. 🤣🤣

More updates. :) I've got the motor nearly 100% assembled, however, I do need to swap out the alternator I've got with a 4-pin version. I ended up with a 2006 Tahoe 4x4 version (2-pin) that has voltage regulated via the ECM, however, I decided to go with my 1999 Silverado wiring harness and...

So I tried on some paint today at lunch time. Set everything in place (not fully installed) so I could get a visual. I like the paint scheme...gonna move forward.

Ok - so I've been in cleaning mode for the past several days, and trying to organize all the posts I have to sell all the things that are leftover from this swap. Please check the parts for sale thread and let me know if you need anything. Today I dug in to the Jeep wiring harness to get...

I don't know how I missed this reply...my nickname that my Dad and his buddies all call me is "Vinnie"... hahahahahahaha Oh and...since I've literally got everything else out of the Jeep right now, I'm going to do a fresh clean of both diffs...and check the breather tubes.

This is my take on this...take it for whatever you feel it is worth. We've tried to do various iterations of this over the years with our kids - they are now 20, 19, and 7. Ultimately, I think the expectation has to be set to establish the things that "make the family run" - and those are not...

Ok sweet, can I pick it up tomorrow?

Where are you in Gilbert? I need a rear bumper that isn’t bent on one side. :-/ I’m on Gilbert/Pecos. I’ll come pick up if it’s still available.

I've got quite a few parts to sell from my swap that I'm working on right now. Instead of posting a bagillion threads, I'll just post one, and I can update it as things are sold. All of these parts (except the 2nd set of intake/exhaust manifolds) came out of my running 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon...

I have the VIN that I pulled from the ECM…that’s a good idea, never thought of that.

Interesting…I will call around. Thank you!

I posted it on OfferUp last night and I guess it violates their policy so they took the listing down. I listed it for $200…

$5k is what I’m tracking as spent + to spend in Excel. The guy I bought it from said it was “low mileage”, and judging by the look of all the accessories and the internals, it definitely doesn’t look like it has more than 100k. You know, I haven’t checked, but I wonder if the ECM stores...

Update 3/11/2022: I made a lot of progress last night. My father-in-law stopped by for a little bit and helped with the wrenches and paid for dinner...so...score! I also discovered that the rubber boot over the shift box that's connected to the top of the transmission has a generously sized...

He was doing a lot of work that I felt was probably too much. I don’t need a perfectly spec’d race engine…but he’s only going to do it that way I guess…so I just passed. He claims that it needs to be bored 0.030 over, block decked, heads decked, and full valve/spring replacement…and since it’s...
