    OEM speaker pods

    I am looking to put speakers in my 2004 TJ. I opened the dash and I have the "infinity" pods with the 4" speaker. I was thinking of doing 5 1/4" front and sound bar. When looking at the polk DB 522's on Amazon a picture in the review showed they had mounted the 5 1/4" polk in the OEM pod. Is...

    Making a Snowball

    I have been putting off making a build thread for my TJ. I'm not sure it will be too much use to anyone, but me. At least I will have a record of what I did and sometimes even why?! First things first. My first Jeep was a 2012 Rubicon 4 door, small lift, bigger tires.....loved it. Life changes...

    2004 Seat Compatability

    As I have been going through the jeep the list of things to replace is growing. Seats are one of them. I have grandkids and I am not comfortable with putting them in the rear seat right now. Sooo much rust flakes are coming out I am not sure how stable the structure is anymore. Front seats are a...

    Is there a reason not to go with 16" Moab rims and tires?

    I've read the posts on these. I just saw a set of 5 of the "2006" moabs might be available. They all match, with worn tires for $225. I'm thinking of getting them. My steelies are kinda rusty and I'm sure a bit heavier than these would be. One of the complaints I've read is there is not a large...

    Bushing replacements

    I've been getting ready to do some work on the TJ....was looking at the bushings and I think I need to start replacing them. I see no reason to use the polyurethane - even though they come in a "full replacement kit". My question is - is there a way to find all these bushings from a list? Photo...

    Help With My Build Plan

    I have already been spending way to much time reading through forum posts here. One thing I read from @Chris is "I love it when people bring up old posts. My opinion on lifts has changed over the years"........ That got me to thinking I should find out the current opinion of members here. I...

    Build Questions

    Well I have been doing a lot of research into how to proceed with my TJ.....a bit overwhelmed I must say. So, first things first: 2000 TJ, Sport, 4.0, 5 speed manual, 3.73 gears, hard top, 150k on the clock, Dane 30 front, Dana 35 in back. I'm wanting a vehicle that is reliable and safe for me...

    Just another Jeep thing ??

    As I have been working on my TJ I have had a few moments where it feels like it is fighting me. All I'm trying to do is take care of it, make sure it is in good running condition, maybe "improve" it a little. :cool: I read other threads here and everyone seems to struggle with theirs. Breaking...

    What to look for in new/used axles ?

    So I have a Dana 35 rear, Dana 30 up front. Been thinking a Dana 44 would be good for more of what I plan on. Plus I will most likely be wheeling solo a bunch. I came across this, just in general searching... I have a matched set of Dana 44 front and rear axles out of low mile Jeep Wrangler...

    Help me decide what to do !

    Hello all! This may get a bit long..... I just joined and am glad this site is around. I just purchased my first TJ. I had a 2012 4 door rubicon before. It was lifted and had 33's on it. I bought it that way - so not a ton of experience here. It was done well, but I ended up selling it due to...
