    Anybody with Dirtworx bumper and winch question

    Can you install the bumper first without the winch being a nightmare to get on after? I have seen posts with other bumper where folks say winch should be installed on bumper off the Jeep first.

    Dana 44 cover marks inside

    Are these marks/streaks normal? I don’t see any chunks of metal anywhere. The marks are not raised or deep.

    Dumb Safety Thimble II Question

    I have watched all the videos, etc and they never mention or show anyone putting it on after winch is on the Jeep. The Dirtworx bumper I just got doesn't have a slot for the winch line so I have to put the thimble on after all is mounted to bumper correct? Just want to be sure I am not missing...

    Transmission control module codes

    Got a BlueDriver and it returned P0303 which I already knew about. The check engine light has gone out but I am going to try TSB 18-031-03 for that first. More concerning because I am new to Jeeps is the other two codes. It says "2 Transmission Control Module Codes" and they are: 1-Under...

    Can you add any kind of extension to a UCF bumper?

    I have researched myself into a state of indecision. I want full width to protect my fenders but not a 70 lb bumper. Can you add any kind of extension to a UCF bumper? I would really like to buy from them since they are in my home state.

    Opinions and knowledge on bumpers please

    Need some advice on choosing a front bumper. It's not a pristine LJ but I would say it's a nicer one so I don't want to just trash it. I will be using my Jeep for hunting and trail fun, no rock climbing. Up and down some occasional steep creek banks and running through overgrown roads...

    Center Console Tray With Subwoofer

    Anybody know of a tray to put in the console? I put the Sound Ordnance powered sub in it and now need a tray at the top. Mine did not come with a sub in it.

    Show me how you mounted Sound Ordnance B-8PTD powered sub please - any in console?

    Got one on the way. New system with only kicker speakers sounds pretty bad to me so ordered the SO sub as recommended by so many here.

    Questions on spare and AC controls

    Since I got 31x10.5's my spare wheel does not touch the carrier (not metal to metal). I have to tighten all the spare lugs carefully so that they all have pressure on them as the tire is against the rubber bumpers. It seems to be working but was wondering if that is a potential problem...

    Rough day working on LJ (mostly)

    Got front BedRug in and looks great, could fit a little better in a few spots but it's non a Rolls Royce. Installed Boss double din last week and new Kickers all around and it went well. Wired in back up camera today and no bueno, put it reverse and it stays on and won't go off, can't get back...

    Engine died and couple other weird things

    Yesterday we drove around for a while in neighborhoods just enjoying the weather. I made a left, full lock u-turn going really slow and the engine died. AC was on too. It fired right up but still weird. Parked for about 3 hours and then made some quick trips and a couple of times when...

    Coolant very slowly vanishes (update)

    I replaced entire system about a month ago, radiator, thermostat, water pump and hoses. I have put may 50 miles on it since. Coolant in overflow bottle keeps going down very, very slowly. Could it be that bubbles are still working their way through the system? It's driving me nuts. I have...

    Fender flare opinions

    PO put on these extended flares, maybe look a little goofy? They are Xenon flares and 6 inch I think. I can get some OE flares but I don't now how wide those are. Would they still cover my 31x10.5's? I don't want the tires sticking out but the narrower I can get the better. I don't want to...

    2004 Fog light plug

    Anybody know how/where to get the plug that comes on factory fog lights? I got a new bumper with KC's on it and accidentally threw out the factory fog lights before I knew the KC's wouldn't plug into factory vehicle side plug.

    JCR sliders, nerf bars or whatever dilemma

    First off just got first Jeep end of Feb, an LJ. I added a 2" spring lift with Rancho's and 31's and that's where it will stay. It has the factory chrome tube bumpers and it's a bit difficult for my wife getting in and out, not terrible but want to make it easier. I can get a set of brand new...

    Changed plugs, had weird Bosch in it- pic

    Still bringing maintenance up to date on new LJ. Changed out the plugs and uneventful. Seems to idle smoother now but idle seems low. It's dead between the two dots under 1K. Any thoughts on plugs appreciated. I have no clue when PO put these in but it was running fine with no engine light...

    N-Fab RKR's

    Anybody have these with the removable steps? How do they attach? Is a good choice? I don't want to drill into the vertical side of the tub under the door. https://n-fab.com/rkr-step-system/2004/jeep/wrangler Installation instructions on their website doesn't make sense to me but all of this...

    What is this and is there anything to do here?

    Top pic is "what's this" and bottom pic is hole left from Spectre Cowl (yes, cowl) air intake. Should I fill the hole or just let it be?
