    South Carolina Set of (5) BFG T/A KO2 35x12.50r15 tires Like New Less than 3k miles

    Set of (5) BF Goodrich T/A KO2 35x12.50r15 tires. Four of the tires have less than 3,000 miles and are like new. The fifth tire is still brand new and has never been used. I paid over $1,400 for these tires when they were new. I am only selling because I ended up switching to a smaller tire due...

    Advice on lowering lift from 4.5” to 2.5” (many questions)

    I have an 04 Rubicon. When I bought it, it had a 4.5" Rubicon Express lift and 35x12.50r15 tires on 15x10 wheels. This is my first jeep, and I originally planned to run 35" tires and a larger lift, as I like the look. However, now that I've owned the jeep for about a year, I realize that for my...

    Advice on pricing hardtop

    Can I get some advice on pricing a hardtop? I'm planning to get rid of the hardtop that was on my 04 Rubicon, and I'm not quite sure how much I should be looking to get for it. I want to make sure I don't get lowballed, but at the same time, I don't want to list it at some unrealistic price. The...

    Gears locking up when shifting

    I have an 04 TJ with 100k miles. Just yesterday, I noticed somewhat of a squealing high pitched sound when I started the jeep. The noise continued as I backed out of the driveway. Then, as I started driving again, I didn’t really hear it anymore. But when pressing the clutch and brake at stop...

    Help with door leak

    I'm dealing with a leak on my passenger side door. Any time it rains, I find a small puddle of water under the front passenger-side floorboard. I also find a small amount of water under the rear passenger floorboard. I finally had a chance to get inside my jeep and have someone spray the water...

    Exogate screw threads too large?

    I put an exogate tire carrier on my jeep. The socket cap screws that came with the exogate (that go through the snubbers) seem to have threading that is to large. They don’t want to go in, and i’m hesitant to force them in. I also had to buy longer screws since I have to extend the snubbers, and...

    Need help locating speedohealer

    I have an 04 Rubicon with 35’s so my speedometer is off. Based on what I’ve read here, I need the speedohealer to correct this. However, it appears that Blue Monkey Motorsports is now out of business. Their website is down, and they no longer have the speedohealer on ebay. I actually ordered...

    Tire carrier recommendations / advice needed

    I’m looking to buy a tire carrier that will hold a 35x12.50r15 tire. I’m not sure if I should be looking for a bumper/tire carrier combo or just a tire carrier for now. I currently have a stock rear bumper. I’m okay with not replacing the bumper yet, but I definitely need to get a tire carrier...

    In need of help pricing tires

    I could use some help in pricing a set of tires that I am about to post for sale. When I bought my TJ, the owner had 35" mud tires on it, which I never planned to use. So I already swapped out those tires for a set of 35" BFG KO2's. The tires that I am selling are Nitto Mud Grapplers -...

    Short term tire carrier help

    I'm looking for a tire carrier that will hold a 35x12.50 tire. I realize there are plenty out there that will hold a tire that size, but they are $300+. Can anyone recommend something cheaper than that for the short term (until I can save more money to buy a higher quality tire carrier)? I have...

    Question about selling tires

    If I end up wanting to sell a set of tires, what would be the best way to do that? Do you just put them on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace? Or is there some better alternative? I have 35x14.50R15LT Nitto Mud Grapplers. These only have about 5k miles on them, and I am deciding if I want to...

    Can I get opinions on this 04 Rubicon?

    I'm planning to look at two jeeps today, and this may be one of them. It's a 2004, manual transmission, with just under 100k miles. It's only had two owners, both in the south, and doesn't appear to have a rust issue. It has a clean carfax. I also don't think it has even been off road. It's...

    Can I get some opinions on this 2006 TJ?

    I've posted a thread or two in the past about being new to jeeps, and I am looking for a TJ as a second vehicle. So I'm not looking for a daily driver. I was originally looking for a manual transmission, but I'm also not against an automatic. I am looking to run bigger tires on it (33's or...

    Is 7 owners a red flag for a 2005 TJ?

    Looking at an 05 with just over 100k miles. Has had 7 owners but all in the south. Carfax is clean. Is it worth looking at based on that many owners?

    Should I even consider buying an 05/06 TJ?

    I’ve read a lot on the forum about the 05/06 tj’s possibly having opda issues. I realize that it probably isn’t an issue as often as it seems, since people are more likely to post about it if they’ve actually experienced issues. And I understand that it’s a relatively inexpensive part to swap...

    TJ questions from a soon-to-be first time buyer

    Hello everyone. I am completely new to the jeep world so I have some questions about buying my first jeep. I've wanted one for about 15 years, and now I'm at the point where I'm ready to buy one. I actually posted in the wrangler forums a few weeks ago about having $20k to spend on a jeep. The...
