    New Transfer Case Time?

    Hey guys. I've got an 06 TJ with the 2.4 and 6 speed. I'm trying to find out what transfer case will fit on the end of my transmission. My current transfer case has a nasty leak out if the tail housing, there's play in the output shaft to the rear wheels, and you can hear something in there...

    Is there anyway to make a TJ 2.4 any faster?

    Hey guys! I've got a 2006 wrangler 2.4 with the 6 speed. I know the 4.0 is way better but I got a deal on the 2.4 and now I'm stuck with it. Is there any way to give it some more torque? This thing looses speed like none other up hills on the highway. I do think I'm firing on all cylinders but...

    Hey guys! I've got an 06 with the 2.4 and a 6 speed manual. I've heard that TJs can only tow 1,000 lbs but I was wondering if any of you have had any experience towing with that craptastic little 4 banger. My folks just got 2 jet skis and between those and the trailer, the toolbox on the...

    Transfer case leak

    Hey guys, I've got an 06 TJ with the 2.4 and 6 speed manual. It's had a minor transfer case leak for awhile now but it's recently gotten pretty bad.

    Hey guys I've got an 06 TJ with the 2.4 and the 6 speed. I've been chasing a rattling noise for quite awhile that has stumped me for 6 months now and it had kinda a whirling noise coming off the highway.

    Should I get a new soft top?

    Hey guys, I've got a soft top TJ and I'm not sure if I need a new top or if what I'm experiencing is normal. I've only had the jeep for about a year and the top looks like it's in great shape.

    Hey guys! So I've got an 06 Wrangler with the 2.4 and the 6 speed. I was wondering if any of you 2.4 guys out there have put cruise control on your TJ's.

    Odd 2.4 Knocks/rattles

    Hey guys I've got a 2006 Wrangler with the 2.4 and the 6 speed manual. I've had some odd rattles and cannot figure it out to save my life. When the motor is still cold, it'll rattle when I increase the RPM's. If I keep them the same or lower them, it doesn't do it no matter where it is in the...

    HVAC stuck on defrost and A/C compressor turns on-and-off randomly

    Hey guys I've got an 2006 TJ with a possible vent selector dial thing busted. It's stuck on the defrost and the AC compressor turns on and off randomly even with the heat on and it not on the ac vent settings. The knob will turn but it doesn't change anything. I'm guessing the dial is shot? And...
