Need a little installation help on my Evan Fischer mini-cat replacement for ‘04 rubicon. There were no installation instructions in the box, I can't find them online, and the OEM bolts and captive retainers (see pics below: retainers in black) that hold the cat flange to the manifold are...

Has this already been discussed? Yes. Are 1,000,000 posts on this? Yes. I’m just trying to validate my thinking, approach and next steps here, so lemme know if I’m way off base. Situation: hard to shift when hot, fine when cold, helps a bit if I pump the clutch. No slipping, skipping...

CEL is on for a P0432 code ('04 Rubicon, manual, 170,000 miles, unsure if cats are original). I don't have any symptoms: she's idling smoothly, starts and goes just fine, pulls alright (I have no comparison), and it doesn't burn when I pee. However, before I drop a cool $1,500 on three...

The zipper on my back window has stopped working, and now all the pulls and stays are gone. To be clear, the seam binding the zippers to the window and the seam binding the zipper on the soft top side are both fine; the teeth appear to be ok. I've tried replacing the pulls with new ones from...

I realize that sounds like the name of a local country bar band, but unfortunately, it's the only tune my TJ is playing at the moment. A bit of context: I swapped full doors for new half doors & cloth uppers just to get a feel for them. I took out fuse #4 so the interior lights didn't stay on...

So I bought a Barricade classic bumper off FB Marketplace: In real decent shape, hinge and handle work smoothly, all good. What I didn't realize at the time is that the bumper requires brackets: Now as many of you may know, you can't buy just the brackets separately, so unless I buy the entire...

I've Googled, searched the forum, asked around, and prayed to the Jeep gods, but continue to come up empty-handed. How, in all that is holy, do I get the bolts out that hold the hinges to the door?!?! To be clear, not the body-side hinges, the door-side hinges. Torx key? Already bent one. Torx...

Hi gang - I have a brand new Mopar trans mount ready to be installed on my '04 Rubicon, but not sure I need to do it. I don't think I have any indicators that I need a new one, and I had the skid plate off over the holiday to replace the exhaust and the current mount (original to the Jeep with...

'04 Rubicon - Muffler's got a hole so I'm replacing it from the cat back, but I've run into a couple snags...I dropped the transmission/dif skid entirely, supporting the transmission at the bell housing to make sure nothing drops, like so: Now that I can see and access everything, it looks...

Hey Yous Guys - I might be wrong, but I think my '04 Rubicon came with a dual exhaust... Anywho, not a huge fan of it, so I picked up a new Flowmaster cat-back package. Really looking forward to bolting it on, but figured that while the old one is out and before the new one goes in, it...

I've got some vicious rot at the bottom of my tailgate - hopefully you can see from the pics that it's all the way through, showing daylight above the seal. And it's letting water in the back when it rains. My question is: Is it even worth trying to repair? or should I just replace it...

Hi Friends - got a little thing happening. Two nights ago I replaced both downstream o2 sensors (PO used Bosch, I swapped them for NGKs) b/c I was throwing a P0161 code. Took less than 15 minutes and it was humming: No more CEL, running a little smoother, like a brand new 04 Rubicon w/ 180,000...

Hi All - looking for a place to start as I diagnose a new vibration ('04 Rubicon TJ; 4.0 manual) - thanks ahead of time for taking the time to read through this. I've owned her about a year and in that time I've replaced the rotors, pads, calipers; shocks; flushed the transmission fluid...

Black Diamond Bestop Safari Bikini Top for 2-door. Covers both front and back seats, and includes the no-drill header for mounting. Never used, been sitting in my garage since purchased this winter, I still have the boxes. Nothing wrong with it, just don't need it, but can't return it at this...

Hi All - I figure there are probably some handy folks around here, so thought I seek some help: I inherited this belt sander from my father-in-law...it's probably older than me. It's a beast, the thing can sand through 6" of concrete in less than a minute (I joke, but you get the point). I...

Tailgate's rusted all the way through at this point. In a perfect world, I can find one that's the same color and just bolt it on. I'm in Philadelphia and would be willing to drive to pick up. Fingers crossed, thanks!

I've been working from home since March and my home office looks directly into my neighbor's driveway, where he parks a 2004 Khaki Metallic Rubicon w/ 160k miles (rarely driven). I spent a lot of time fantasizing about it, so when I heard he was selling, I jumped. A quick pre-purchase inspection...
