    LED bulbs for factory fog lights

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but has anyone replaced the bulbs in their factory fog lights with LED bulbs? What did you use and how did it work out? I changed to LED headlights and the fog lights look incredibly yellow compared to the headlamps. I'd like to stay with the factory...

    SOLD Half door uppers (canvas with sliding glass)

    I have a set of 1/2 door canvas uppers with sliding glass. They came with the TJ but the PO purchased a new hard top with hard uppers just before I bought it so I've never had these on the Jeep. I now either use the full doors or 1/2 doors with the hard uppers. I thought I would offer them up...

    WTB: Full door window crank spacers

    Anyone have a set of the spacers that go between the door window crank and door panel; part 55076218. Or... anyone have the dimensions and I'll machine a pair from nylon/delrin? Thanks. I think that there also might be a foam seal that also goes with the spacers.

    Plastic inserts for door window glass

    Anyone know where to get the plastic inserts that are used to attach to the window glass to the regulator? I can't even find a part number for them. I'm rebuilding some full doors and they were broken when I bought the doors.

    Painting full doors

    Found a set of full doors in great shape; no dents and only a few small scratches for a great price. But I would like to have them repainted to color match my '03 Sahara (Sienna Pearl). I've stripped them down to only the shells and they are almost ready to paint. I've only had time to get...

    Duck Duck Jeep?

    OK, went out today and after shopping I find a little rubber duck on my Jeep with a note that said "2020 sucks so far. Hope this made you Quack a smile." Then some other stuff about taking a photo and posting on #duckduckjeep or #duckingjeeps I looked it up and it's a thing I guess. Funny.

    Rear brake overheating problem

    Changed the rear disc brake pads and rotors last week and put in new parking brake shoes. I was careful about adjusting the parking brake so there was little to no rubbing. I drove around (short trips) for a week and checked the brakes periodically. I did not feel any excess warmth around the...

    Are spring isolators necessary for H&R spring upgrade?

    UPS just dropped off the set of H&R springs and the Rancho shocks came in a few days ago. I'd like to do the upgrade this weekend but I saw in another thread that 'Superduty71' put in new Moog spring isolators when upgrading to the H&R spring set. I did not buy new isolators and I have time to...

    Is Rancho having a problem with Rancho RS5000 shocks?

    So I finally decided to change out the old shocks on the Jeep. Looking at Rancho RS5000 series. Up until Friday I had been looking a the 4 shock Rancho kits (price break) from Amazon and other distributors. As of Friday Amazon is out of stock and 4WP lists the 4 shock kit as discontinued. I...

    Safari / bikini top recommendations

    Took off the hard top and the soft top is getting rough so I thought I'd try a safari/bikini top. I'm seeing lots of mixed reviews on the different brands. Concerned about the top staying in the windshield channel at highway speeds. Seems it's a hit or miss proposition. I'd like one that...

    What's a reasonable price on a used Warn M8000?

    I've located 2 Warn M8000s not too far from home; one fully working with steel cable for (asking) $400 and another without remote and has questionable solenoids for (asking) $200. Same guy has both. Remote is around $80-90. Don't know about solenoids but a replacement box looks to be $250+...

    Ramsey Pro 9000 winch

    There is an older Ramsey Pro 9000 winch for sale locally. Asking price is $400 but I can't find any reviews on the older Ramsey series winches. Anybody have one and care to share about reliability?

    Warn rebates?

    Does Warn ever offer seasonal rebates? I thought I saw some threads about previous rebate programs from Warn. Any chance they might this spring?

    Anyone have an opinion on Warn EVO series winches?

    I have a limited budget but want to get a Warn winch for the reliability and support. I can't find much in the way of reviews or owner impressions of the newer EVO series from Warn. Lots of ads and Youtube videos on the installation, but not much for actual use. This would be for occasional...

    Anyone dealt with Primal Trucks?

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum to ask but has anyone bought anything from PrimalTrucks.com? Prices seem generally better than the usual parts sites which makes me a little wary. Good? Bad? Looks like they could be out of Canada. Example: Warn VR-8 EVO Every other place I see the exact...

    DIY BB Spacers

    Has anyone ever made their own front/rear spacers? I have a lot of 6061 aluminum and a CNC mill and lathe. Who has the mechanical dimensions or specs for BB spacers? A person could then dial in their own height (up to 2" or so).

    Cruise control servo and model year question

    I recently purchased a 2003 Sahara and noted that the cruise control did not work during the test drive. Looked into it further this weekend and don't I feel silly. Although the build sheet says it came with CC and the switches are on the steering wheel (and the correct clockspring), the cruise...
