    Arizona Subwoofer enclosure with amp

    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...

    Long Term LS Swap TJ Update

    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...

    Best Xmas Gift EvAr! (From wheeling trip a few years back)

    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. 🤣

    Rear Washer Motor Nut (2004 TJ)

    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...

    Arizona 4.0L Parts (Engine, Exhaust, Intake, Accessories, etc)

    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...

    The LS Swap Begins

    First off - if my wife ever sees this thread - I've got to thank her for...let's just say for putting up with me and my excitement over this. I ended up winning my 2 fantasy football leagues, and the bigger pick-em NFL league this year and walked away with a pocket stuffed full of cash. First...

    Can't get exhaust flange to seal completely...

    The front exhaust flange connected to the front exhaust manifold (4.0 obviously) will not seal all the way. It is absolutely driving me nuts. I confirmed that it is that one with the old shop-vac + soapy-water trick. I backed out the bolts and re-seated the flange multiple times today...even...

    Brown Fluid From Rear Diff

    So...I finally got around to changing the rear diff fluid the other day (2004 Rubicon), and it came out brown (I'm fairly confident that the previous owner never replaced that fluid in 150k miles). The drain & fill plugs both had a tremendous amount of sediment/small bits of metal fragments on...

    Lift installed—2004 TJ Rubicon

    3.75" Rough Country lift, 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers, and 285/75r16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs (they've got $125 in rebates right now). Took me like 5.5-6 hours to get everything done in my garage. Would have been faster, but my wife banned the use of my impact wrench after 10pm...so I had...

    New-ish to the Jeep thing

    Hey y'all - figured I'd start engaging and interacting since I'm getting knee deep into tearing apart my Jeep while fixing/upgrading stuff...and my Jeep buddies are at work, but since we're all working from home now, I haven't seen them since March. My wife bought me a 2004 TJ Rubicon for my...
