    You mentioned rust, which is the biggest concern with these. But LJs in good condition can bring a lot more then KBB. Depending on how bad your rust is, you could bring in a lot more then 7k.

    Dougal's 05 LJ

    Bought a 03 TJ a few years back and sadly only had it for a few months before it was totaled. Had been watching local ads and saw an LJ pop up and jumped on it quickly. Was an older gentlemen's who unexpectedly passed away. The inside was impeccable and the frame appeared to be solid. The paint...

    Looking for a set of good LED taillights that aren't too pricey

    I just installed the Quadratec lights last week. Although there are Amazon options that are way cheaper, I liked the plug and play of the Quadratec lights. The main thing I didn't want to do was drill out the area for the bolts on the Amazon versions. Again not a big deal for most, but something...

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Any chance you could show a few pics of the sunrider pins? I had to buy the pins from ebay and not exactly sure how far back to drill on the door surrounds and what part of the frame goes into the clips.

    Has anyone ever used Cosmoline RP 342 as a frame coating?

    I applied RP342 to my '18 Ram when purchased new. I went with it over FF for the durability and not having to reapply every season. I power washed the undercarriage a few weeks ago prepping for winter. The RP342 is still everywhere I applied it two years later. Overall I'm very happy with it and...

    How can I prevent body rust?

    Where does the rust under the door come from? I haven't looked specifically for potential causes but can't picture it.

    How can I prevent body rust?

    I've been able to read up plenty about how to handle and prevent frame rust on my LJ. With that, I want to do the same for the body. I know the issue with the fender (already rusted out on my Jeep). What about the other common spots like below the doors and below the taillights? Any ways to...

    Who cleans / details their Jeep?

    I spend a lot more time cleaning/"detailing" my truck with it being ceramic coated and newer. I wish the previous owner of my LJ had spent just a little time throwing a coat of wax on it though. Paint on the hood is totally shot and local shops want more then I'm willing to spend for a respray...

    A Beginners Guide to Lifting Your Jeep Wrangler TJ

    I'm planning on going with this setup. Find any issues or things you'd have done differently? Is there anything specific I should be looking at for bump stops?

    What you’ll need for a OME 2-2.5” lift

    I'm new to suspensions, can someone elaborate or point me in the direction to learn about the shock distances and bump stops required? Like the post above, I'd assume you'd go with the RS55239 and RS55241 if adding 2" springs.

    Does a 1" body lift require a 1" motor mount lift?

    Thanks everyone for the info. The video of the install of the MML with the AC obstruction scared me off. I may reevaluate and give it a go anyway after I check for rust.

    Does a 1" body lift require a 1" motor mount lift?

    Thanks for the info and heads up.

    Does a 1" body lift require a 1" motor mount lift?

    Thanks! How difficult is that to do? Reason want to avoid the MML is because of the difficulty of install. I'm the furthermost thing from mechanically inclined but really want to try to and do the BL install.

    Does a 1" body lift require a 1" motor mount lift?

    Subject says it all, is a motor mount lift required on any bodylift on an LJ?

    Options For Grille Damage

    Just saw that, thanks. The holes are actually through the entire grill, but still may remove the chrome. Don't think it'll stand out as much if its black.

    I hit a deer and dented my grille. Can I just put an angry bird grille over it?

    How hard is it to remove the chrome? I'm not a fan either, but didn't know it was an option to remove.

    Options For Grille Damage

    My LJ had a bug guard installed from the previous owner resulting in 4 holes in the chrome grill. I know replacing the grill isn't an easy swap like with the JK etc. Any idea of a quick fix (that's angry bird grill) or am I stuck with the holes?

    Bedliner vs Repaint Resale Value

    Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Looks like bedliner is out. I may look at wrapping it with vinyl, just wonder how bad it'll look with all the scratches coming through. I also don't have a photo of it, but a portion of the hood the paint flaked off down to bare metal. I shot it with spray...
