I bought a used Lange frame for lifting the top off of my TJ. The frame was originally used for a JK, so I bought the TJ specific rear window hook from Lange to be able to lift my top with the rear window closed. However, the window does not want to close with it in place. The instructions...

I took advantage of the long weekend over Labor Day to take my 10yo daughter to Ouray. It was her first time in Ouray, and although it wasn't my first time there, it was my first time off road in the area. We left from the Boulder area as soon as school was out Friday and were on the road by...

I took my '05 TJ for a drive yesterday to put some miles on it and to help break in the new gears, and evidently I've developed a slight leak at the transmission cooler line quick connector on the passenger side of the lower radiator. I've searched through here, and there is a lot of discussion...

I'm looking for a decent quality tap and die set for general use in the garage, primarily for working on the Jeep. I'll be using it for cleaning up threads, not for cutting new threads in previously unthreaded holes or creating my own threaded rods. Think above average home mechanic quality...

EDIT - Looks like the consensus in this thread says, screw it, run with it. Thanks @Zorba! Seriously, I did search before posting. I just read the wrong threads before posting. I'm changing the OPDA on my '05 to a Crown replacement as a preventive measure, but I'm running into a slight issue...

In preparation for regearing to 5.13s and the anticipating that I'll have a 50/50 chance of vibes that can't be eliminated without a manual locking hub kit, I've been looking at options and reading up on the subject, including this older thread. It appears that the only kit that works with ABS...

My TJ's Dana 30 has 4.56 gears and an Eaton E-locker. I bought a new (relatively) TJ Sport yesterday, and will end up regearing it to 5.13 and would like to go with E-lockers front and rear. As I prep my old TJ for sale, I'm contemplating removing the locker and installing an open carrier so I...

I find the ambient road noise from running half doors with soft uppers pretty fatiguing, and as a result I don't enjoy taking my TJ on longer trips. Yes, I know I can wear ear plugs, but I'd prefer to cut down on the overall noise as well. Before I spend the money on a set of full doors, do...

I like the looks of the JKU that Yakima is using in promo materials for their Backbone roof rack system. Anyone JK savvy enough to know what height lift and tire size this most likely is? I'm guessing 2.5" / 35s or 315/70-17, but I'm not up to speed on these enough to know if that's close.

Came across this old trailer while exploring the area southwest of Mt. Princeton. It looks like a pretty cool trailer; shame someone felt the need to use it for target practice. Does anyone recognize what sort of trailer this is? It's definitely old, but I couldn't find a plate on it with any...

No longer available.

I'm planning to run Pearl Pass from the south to the north on Saturday, 9/18. Right now, the plan is to drive to Gunnison Friday evening after work, Saturday morning run Pearl Pass to Aspen, then head over to Marble and the Crystal Mill, and return to the Denver area Saturday evening. Feel...

I wanted a simple rear bumper with recovery points and a hitch to potentially tow a lightweight trailer (~ 600 - 700 lbs). I picked this one up after finding what seemed like generally positive feedback. However, I've been wondering if I made a bad choice. The bumper does tie in to the stock...

Stock rear bumper and a Draw-Tite receiver hitch. Free, but you have to come get them. Both are in good condition and include mounting hardware, but could use some cosmetic sprucing up (clean and possibly a rattle can respray). I'm north of Denver in Erie.

I installed OME 933/941 springs and 60046/60048 shocks on my '02 TJ X last Friday. During the process, I pulled the jounce bumpers, installed the shocks, and completely cycled the suspension. For the front axle, I was able to get to full bump with the shocks in stalled, so they didn't require...

I'm currently building up my '02 TJ for a small 31" tire build, and I would prefer not to have to add any unnecessary length to my front bumpstops to compensate for an adjustable front track bar. Additionally, I'd prefer not to have to drill out the stock mounts (either frame or axle) in case I...

I see lots of comments from people about harsh riding OME Nitrocharger Sport shocks, but they never specify which model numbers. Occasionally, someone posts that they're very happy with their Nitrocharger Sports. Could this be a difference in the 60046/60048 OME specs for light weight vs...
