As the title states - I'm at a crossroads with my LJ and looking for some thoughts on the matter to gauge whether or not I'm crazy (well more than normal). Let me take you through it. My LJ : It's a 2004 with about ~104K miles, and is in nearly perfect shape. It's my dream build and no expense...

04 LJ, but aftermarket steering wheel (i think?). Anyways my clock spring is done and I went to replace, but for the life of me I couldn't get this damn wheel off. The steering wheel puller I have supposedly works for stock steering wheels, but can't figure out how to get this one off. Anyone...

So as the title states - looking for some advice. I've been looking for a black oem hard top for my 04 LJ, but finding something not a 12 hour drive away has been challenging. There's a 2 piece Rally Top for sale near me that looks to be in decent shape for $1500 - should I just go for that? I...

Replaced both upper and lower rear control arms so getting rid of the old. Off a 2004 LJ. In Charlotte for pickup, not looking to ship.

Looking for black LJ hard top in good/great condition. I'm in Charlotte but willing to travel within reason and pay fair market price. Hoping to find oem before I breakdown and order an aftermarket top new.

Like the title says - I want to re-gear my 2004 LJ with 97K miles. It currently has stock 3.73 gearing, and on 33" MT tires it's s real dog. My mileage is also half of what I'm getting on my 99 TJ with over 228K miles, so I'm ready for a change. Questions: the general consensus is 5.13 for my...

Hey y'all, With my recent acquisition of another forum member's mint LJ, I'm letting my black & tan TJ go. Its been on FB Marketplace for a few days and I'm already burnt out by all the clowns that listing a car brings. $6500 for a forum member. It's by no means a show rig but I've never had...

04 LJ, ~4 inch lift, 33" Falken Wils Peak MTs at about 28psi So got an alignment because the steering was all over the place, including not really returning to center. Now that its done the steering is mostly straight, but still not returning to center. Is my caster too low? Based on other...

Like the title says - need the bolts for the back seat brackets out of a 2004 LJ (they're the long brackets that mount to the tub floor). The PO kept the brackets but not the hardware for them. Anyone know the size so I can pick some up? Thanks!

Looking for some advice. On my 99 TJ with ~230K miles I started getting some driveline noise which I was able to isolate to the rear-end. I was thinking a pinion bearing. Took it to a shop here (not my usual because there's such a wait) and they confirmed it's coming from the Dana 35, and they want...

Hey all, Buying another Jeep and luckily for me this one has a perfect frame and underbody. I'd like to keep it that way, so anyone know of where I can get a fluid film or other rust prevention treatment to the frame near Charlotte? I'd do it myself, but not sure my apartment complex would be...

As someone who just went through the search for a good mechanic in a new-to-me area, thought I'd pass along a recommendation. H & H Automotive in the Charlotte area seems like a group of good dudes. Joe (the guy running the place) is very communicative, and willing to take the time to talk...

Saw this for anyone interested in NC. Looks to be in decent shape for a decent asking price. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/425791115604604/

Hi y'all, Thought you would get a kick out of this. Since I left NYC and moved south I've been trying to do all the maintenance that the PO decided to never do.. Lately I've been chasing down a clunk when driving, so assumed swaybar links first and pulled off all 4 (99 tj both front and rear...

Have both fenders i just pulled off from the back of my tj im giving away to whomever wants them. They'll need to be sanded down and repainted, but hey they're free. They're just the original plastic ones (see pic below, rear only). Don't really have the time to try and ship so you'll need to...

Hi all, So I've been searching the forums for an idea but haven't seem to have found my scenario yet which is as follows: (1999, 4.0, 225K+ miles) When i start the jeep when cold, until it gets to temp there's a tick that seems to be relative to RPMs. So, constant tick-tick-tick speed while...

Hi all, Wanted to know what type of special preventative maintenance is important for these old 4.0s. Mine currently is sitting at about 225K miles, runs great, and averages about 15 mpg. I have the normal exhaust leak under the hood that disappears once warmed up, and other than that all...

Hi all, Been attempting to wire up my fog lights and am having no luck thus far. Here are the facts: -1999, meaning the fog light switch is the rocker next to the rear wiper -has factory wiring already, with the 2 relays behind the glove box next to the fuse box (according to VIN search, fogs...

Hi all, Preparing to do my least favorite thing on the planet - mess with my TJs wiring. It's a 99 sport and I'm looking for factory fog light wiring (i see when searching in here that most are pre-wired?). I have the toggle switch on the dash next to rear defrost & wiper, so the goal is to...

Hi all, Long time lurker and finally a member! Got my 99 TJ Sport back in June and have been slowly bringing her back to her former glory, while also maintaining my sanity during all this craziness. I've never had a jeep before - always been more of a Ford guy - but I have to say this thing has...
