    Transmission shifting issues

    2000 4.0 with auto transmission, 98650 miles. I've had this jeep for several years now, not a daily driver, and never really liked the way it shifts. If I take off at a "normal" pace, it upshifts from 2nd to 3rd very quickly. It also doesn't seem to downshift when needed either. Today I decided...

    Re-gearing Question

    I have a 2000 TJ Sport 4.0 Auto with the stock 3.07 gears with 32" tires on a 2.5" lift. I've know this thing needs re-geared since I've bought it 5 or so years ago but have been procrastinating. It is not my daily Driver so it always takes the back seat to other projects. Sorry, but I'm no gear...

    LED headlight recommendations

    I know this is probably as bad as the "which oil & filter" threads, but can anyone recommend LED headlights that they HAVE and are happy with? I bought a pair (Cheap Chinese stuff--Amazon) probably two-three years ago and have never been able to get them adjusted to my liking. They throw alot of...

    Need opinions, input

    So I bought my wife a 2021 Kia Seltos back in June, had 24 miles on it. Did the first oil change myself at 4095 miles using Kia filter and Mobile one 5w-20. Seltos now has 7100 miles on it and the oil in the photo has 3000 on it. The Kia oil is Reddish brown and looks dirty as hell, more than I...

    How much is a hardtop worth?

    I am debating selling my hardtop, that is in perfect condition and going with a soft top. Just wondering what I should start out asking for the hardtop? Also, looking at soft tops, I am a bit confused. I will need a complete setup as I do not have any OEM hardware. I would like one with the...

    Sad Day...

    Today, I finally sold my Harley. I bought her brand new in '06. I had planned on selling her when I first got the jeep almost 2 years ago, but couldn't go through with it. Since then, I hadn't ridden it much, but still knew it was waiting for me in the garage in case I wanted to take a ride...

    Shock Question

    So I have decided to replace my shocks and went with the Rancho RS5000X. In anticipation of getting my new shocks (tomorrow), I went ahead and removed the Rough Country shocks that the PO had installed just over 3 years ago. Here's the question, are all shocks supposed to "rebound" when you...

    My firearm mishap, accidents DO happen

    First, a little background history. I have been an avid firearm owner since I was old enough to shoot my first .22 as a kid (9-10ish). I was always taught, and practiced firearm safety, as one should. As I got older, I have built up a good collection of guns and enjoy shooting, hunting and...

    Rear Shock replacement

    So I would like to upgrade the shocks, front and rear. I'm not really worried about the fronts, but have read horror stories about replacing the rears. Anyone have any tips before I break the bolts off? I have already sprayed some kroil up in the area where the nuts are, but can't guarantee that...

    Oil "seepage"

    I have been tracking down a small oil leak, more of a seepage, and I'm sure I just have the common RMS leak that TJ's are known for. Do RMS's leak only during normal operation, or will they leak even if the jeep just sits? Can't really tell if the oil level while parked is just below the RMS or...

    Driving light recommendations

    I need (want) to replace the original bumper mounted driving lights on my TJ. I bought a set of the Hella 500 Black Magic lights and they came today. I went to mount them and the T-nut that secures the mount to the bumper completely snapped in two, and it wasn't even tight yet. I threw it back...

    Dealership Tricks

    My wife drives an '05 Nissan Xterra and in the last two weeks, we have received 2 phone calls and a postcard from the dealer we bought it from back in '07, claiming there is some sort of recall concerning the ECM. Usually I will research to see what the recall really involves before I take it...

    Speedometer gear

    So does anyone know which speedometer gear comes stock in a 2000 sport model? Now that I have the tires and rims I'm going to stick with, I want to make sure I have the right one. I'm running 32's with the dreaded 3.07 gearing. The chart on Quadretec shows a 26 tooth gear. I have ran my GPS...

    Front end vibration

    Ok, I have searched and found a few threads on this issue and some of the possible solutions. However, I have noticed that while I'm on the accelerator there is a slight vibration on the steering wheel, but as soon as I let off the accelerator, it rolls smooth as silk. I thought perhaps it might...

    SOLD Tires and rims for sale Near Cincinnati, Ohio

    I have 5 17" JK rims and Tires for sale. These are factory rims, 5 on 5 bolt pattern. The PO had painted them with black plasti-dip. The tires are BF Goodrich Mud Terrains KM LT 255/75/17 (32"?). All have a decent amount of tread left, and the spare has apparently been left out of rotation. I...

    One problem after another!

    So I finally bought new tires and rims that actually belong on the TJ, PO had 17" JK take-offs on it. First problem was, now that I had the correct backspacing on the new rims, the spare sat too far out on the carrier that it shook the hell out of the tailgate. Took the spare carrier off and we...

    Thoughts on this?

    I was browsing the web and came across this. Anyone seen or installed this? Pretty sure I'm going to go with the Savvy cable system when I finally get around to doing mine. http://www.azzysdesignworks.com/store/jeep-np231-transfer-case-linkage-kit

    Drain Plugs

    After owning this jeep for a year now, I decided to pull the carpet to get a look at floor pans. The PO removed all the drain plugs. Floor is in very good shape, except a little rust around the drain holes. What's the general thought on the drain plugs? Leave 'em out or get new ones and put 'em...

    Anyone know if/where I can buy longer rear seat belt connectors? Specifically refering to the two buckles mounted to the floor that go between the fold of the back seat. This weekend we had our first rear seat passengers and with the seat covers, the stock belts are hard to get through the back...
