In the Spring of 2000 my wife convinced me to quit looking at used Jeeps and just buy a new one and modify it to meet our goals. We bought this TJ Sport new in Dallas and it’s been a great vehicle in the 21 years ever since. From day one the Jeep’s enjoyed parking out of the weather inside my...

Gearing--definitely puts the 4.0L/5-spd back in useable power range with tire upsize--especially on the highway. I also like the benefit of better crawl ratio on rough trails and engine braking in mountainous terrain.

We had impressive performance out of 35x15 MTRs on our two TJs. Durable sidewalls have been critical when traveling the Rocky Mountain trails that lead to our favorite historic sights. Unfortunately, when we were looking to replace them just over two years ago it was already getting hard to...

I run 4.88s

Very nice looking rig! Always great to see folks put the effort into getting it done right. Ready to be driven another 20+ years!

Go with Tom Woods. The DS is not something to save a few $$ on. This appears to be the costly option up front but well worth it down the road.

The 15x8s expose less sidewall on rocky trails as well.

I've run both and although 15x10 may ride slightly better, 15x8 keeps the beads in place best at lower pressures.

I have seen much better in Texas but since we sold our farm earlier this year and moved closer to family in Utah rusted bodies and frames are typical. I cringe when I think of the salt on the roads here and am not looking forward to the upcoming winter here. I'd keep looking for something from...

My wife calls this bright orange "a fun color" vs. the plain colors most of our Jeeps have been over the years. It certainly looks good on this TJ.

Looks nice! Good luck with the ride.

I also agree with what @Jerry Bransford said early in this thread. Personally am not a fan of these types of additives as they typically add to other challenges later in the vehicle's life.

Nice clean Jeep! Should move fast.

I trust the culprit was at least caught so that you get a little justice/satisfaction out of this unfortunate event. Hope you are able to enjoy some great jeepin' again in the near future!

Great idea! I wish I'd seen your suggestion when I needed a set for my TJ Sport years ago. Although it may have been hard to find any hockey pucks in rural Texas at the time!

Sorry to hear this. Will watch out for any hints of those bad actors in my area...parting out, etc. This trend is frustrating for all of us.

We too have an EcoDiesel and see no reason to re-gear...plenty of extra torque at low rpm's. However friends with the v6 and turbo 4 all have changed to lower gears or plan to do so.

I assume they have the 8-spd automatic? If so they will likely experience a lot of gear hunting when driving on road with 37s. They'll seldom even see 8th gear unless they have the ecodiesel. Like others have recommended, re-gearing is the only good option IMHO.

Glad you found it before it was exposed to the challenges of the VA weather/roads. I moved from Texas to Utah this past fall and have kept my two TJs in the shop thru the winter to avoid the winter road salt here. Yours looks like a great project!

2000 TJ Sport doing what it does best...
