    Oil pressure

    While moving down the road my oil gauge reads around 43 but when I slow or stop it drops down to around 23. I have not noticed this before. I just did an oil change. Put in a MOPAR filter and changed the oil with Valvoline 10w-30 conventional. Everything good?

    Popping the lock

    So, I'm about 45 miles from home. Driving the 2000 TJ today and I have a business meeting in a few hours. I happen to lock myself out of the jeep with my keys still in the ignition. I have the hard top on. Is there any way to pop the lock with a coat hanger or not? Or am I going to have to...

    Annoying Squeak

    Wise ones, I’ve been throwing the miles on the ol’e TJ since my JL is in the shop getting fixed after crossing paths with a 16 year old on the road. As y’all all know, North Texas got hammered with a half years rain over night. If you want to find out if you have any leaks, drive in a storm...

    What could be the cause?

    So a few weeks back I noticed a drip on the driveway that was in an area close to my jeep. I thought originally that it was just something I didn't clean up well when I did a fluid swap in the transfer case as well as replaced the pinion seals for the front and rear diffs. Fast forward a...

    Time to replace the radiator

    Seems like the top of my radiator leads in colder weather. Once it's warm it stops but a cold start when it is freezing outside gives me a decent little puddle underneath. With that being said, it's time to pull it and put in a fresh one. My question is, should I just go with a stock OE from...

    Thermostat stuck open?

    Living in North Texas, we've recently been hit with a decent cold snap. We had our first really significant freeze about two weeks ago and I had noticed some liquid underneath the jeep the following day after that initial freeze. It was most definitely anti-freeze. I popped the hood and...

    How far are you getting on a full tank?

    So, I had to drive back out to the ranch last night to check on my cellular game cams because they weren't connecting. There's something about cruising through the Texas Hill Country in a TJ that just makes ya feel like life doesn't get any better. Of course on the 1-hour trip one way, my mind...

    Is it a ground wire on the headlight switch?

    I finally got around to replacing my headlight switch which I would say was pretty darn easy. With that being said, the old switch had a wire attached to the switch housing. The new switch does not have a blade attached to the housing to plug that wire in. Any advice? What is this wire for...

    The Dangler

    I'm really half tempted to go buy this and paint it flame red and then ask my wife for forgiveness. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1008059123283837/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post

    Which Headlight Switch Should I Order?

    About to order a new switch for my 2000 TJ Sport and I'm curious on how to know if I should order a 9 terminal or 10 terminal switch. Ideas?

    JL Wheels on a TJ

    I'm really debating about moving the ole TJ to some of the all-black JL Rubicon wheels. Curious if anyone has done this yet and would love to see a picture if ya got 'em. Even if you put on basic JL wheels let's see it.

    Rigid Chase Light

    Looking for some insight here. I ordered a relocation bracket and chase light combo for the Jeep. Seemed like a super simple job until I looked at what RIGID is calling for in its wiring. Can someone help me out here and what I should do? I don't know where to tie all these lines in at. I...

    Looking for ideas on how to fill leftover bolt-holes

    I've recently pulled all the tailgate bumpers as well as the rear license plate bracket since I moved to the ARB Tire Carrier. I'm curious if you left all these bolt holes wide open to the elements or if y'all used some sort of plug. Looking for ideas.

    Insight on Brands for regear

    I'm about to bite the bullet and go from the stock 3.73 gearing in the 44 and 30 to 4.88 gearing. With that being said, are the brands in the ring and pinion market I should steer clear of? What brands do you recommend? Current Set-up: 2000 Wrangler Sport 4.0 Dana 44 rear 30 front 4" lift...

    Shipping Options

    This may be the wrong place for this and if so, I apologize in advance. For those of you who sell parts that are outside a typical size such as a bumper or a seat. What are y’all using? I estimated shipping on a 100 lbs and gave estimated dimensions and it came out to $140. I showed up with...

    TJ by year Specs

    I know this is crazy but I can not find the forum post that had all the specs by year model and what engine and transmission info. I don't know why I can't find it. Can someone help me out and then you can dust this post if need be.

    Converting winch to synthetic rope

    I'm running a Warn VR12000 w/ 94' of steel cable. If I were to move towards synthetic, what length of the line would I likely need to be around? Who would you recommend as a vendor and what line rating?

    SOLD ARB Deluxe Bumper (Flame Red)

    Mint condition ARB Deluxe (non-winch) bumper. Only reason for the sale is because I purchased the ARB Deluxe Winch Bumper off of DINO76033. Not a thing wrong with this. Obviously I’m aware that his may likely only appeal to those with a Flame Red TJ, but it could be painted. The bumper is only...

    TJ Versus Cummins Dually

    The unprecedented weather that has recently been unleashed on North Texas has impacted us in many different ways. Prior to the onset of the weather, I came down with COVID and was secluded to the bedroom for a week prior to the storm. One thing I was unable to do was to ensure that my cattle...

    Off to a great start

    Finally got some time to take the Jeep out with my daughter. She picked up driving a manual transmission 10 times fast than I did and she's only 13. She's got a lot of it figured out. She is shifting up and down. She's even figured out how to slow down and feather the clutch through uneven...
