My some has an 03 auto with the 4.0. Interstate driving is the same - not a racer. He kills the OD switch in town and gets a bit more pickup, as it isn't searching for OD. I've got an 05 manual that has much better top end speed unless it's into the wind - at that point I'm just steering a...

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Anyone replace the standard reverse light bulbs in an 03 TJ with an LED bulb? Was it simply plug and play or did you need to add a resistor? Any help would be awesome. I don't want to put in a ton of work for a simple reverse bulb. Thanks everyone.

Looks almost too clean? I'd take a peek at the areas tough to touch up ( frame under the rear door, around gas tank, take a peek at the condition around the exhaust, etc. ). I paid nearly that for a 05 Rubicon with 90K in almost as clean of shape, but it was on a dealer lot and I tend to lack...

I installed Bedrug in my sons about 6 months ago. Easy install, simple velcro to lay it down, 30 minutes start to finish. Sand, dirt, etc. sit on top of it and make it easy to clean. It does have some "issues", mainly how it lays down where the front and back sections meet, between the front...

I've got both - an 05 Rubicon for me and an 03 Sport for my 16 year old son. Both are stock except for 31" tires and some shock and brake work. Both have 4.0 engines. The Rubicon feels like a move up to first class when driving - I know it's mostly mental, but just feels completely different...

Kicker sub was installed in the console, and fit in the original console enclosure - just had to remove the fins in the bottom of the enclosure. I put a Kicker amp under the drivers seat ( not where I wanted it, but this made it easier ). I'll get pictures on here by the weekend. Kicker...

Love the individual personality of both mine and my 16 year old sons - the noises, funny leak spots, different add ons, and that carefree feeling you get just hopping in an going for a drive. Also love the "family" feeling from other TJ Enthusiast - always ready and happy to help each other.

OK - both amp and sub are blown. had no idea you could blow an amp that small after 17 years. Sub actually tested fine, but hooked it up to different amps outside of car to test and no sound. Thinking it somehow got frozen. Installed a Kicker amp and Kicker sub and all good now. Thanks for...

I am getting sound from all 4 speaker, just not the sub. Prior to the double din install, sound from the sub was intermittent. I know the wiring is correct ( checked all connections during troubleshooting ). Sub is not blown based on OHM test and cone tightness.

Any help with this would be awesome. My son has an 03 Sport with factory sub and factory amp. I replaced the sub about a year ago with the "direct fit" replacement from Quadratec - everything worked great. Right now I am getting no sound from the sub, and the other speakers ( all aftermarket...

my 05 Rubicon manual runs right around there since the radiator and hoses were replaced by the dealer. ticks up a bit higher with ac running or at long idles in traffic. my son's 03 sport sits right at 210 but creeps higher at idle. following this thread, as the 05 almost never gets to 210.

Thanks to everyone for their experiences. Truck lite knock offs have been ordered - fingers crossed the experience is good, and thanks for all the info related to how far down they need to be aimed. Only headlights I've ever "aimed" were the Hella Ecodes, and their cut off is so sharp it was...

No idea. Think I put Sylvania bulbs in there, but can't remember if that was the E codes on my sons 03 or the JK housings in my 05.

Anyone have any experience with "knock off" LED headlights? I read the LED Headlight recommendations on the site, but can't justify paying that much right now for solid, proven lights. Looking for a good upgrade for my son's TJ that is cost effective and an improvement over Hella Ecodes. I'm...

PSB unless your door sticker says something different.

Took my son's off a few months ago to paint flares. Videos made it look easy - it was a PITA - front came off OK, rear got painted on the Jeep. Holding the backside clips with pliers helped, but not much room inside the flare to get screws out. The rear, left on the Jeep, were painted by...

Just did the dash on my son's jeep. Awesome difference. Will be doing the A/C cluster and rocker switches next weekend. Huge thank you for the tip to shave down the shifter bulb.

I had a similar issue, but the bottom left wouldn't close tight and it would open with a ton of pressure. Problem was the rubber bumper attached to frame that keeps the spare tire from "rattling". Only happens with larger tires attached to spare tire carrier - maybe check to see if your tire...
