    Supertop Classic Opinions

    So I have the opportunity to get a bestop super top classic frame for next to nothing. I would get the actual skin afterwards. This is the “classic” design that doesn’t have door surrounds. Does anyone have experience or opinions on this top. Should I wait and get a super top nx someday?

    Rancho RS5000x won't extend

    I just got a set of Rancho RS5000x for my TJ. I installed the rears fine, but one of my front shocks won’t extend on its own. Is it bad?

    Zone Offroad kit rides rough

    I installed the Zone Offroad 3 inch lift kit a few months ago. It has worked very well, but goes over bumps and potholes really rough. I currently have the shocks that came with the lift kit, but would there be a very noticeable difference between them and Rancho RS5000x shocks?

    WJ Cruise Control?

    Junkyards near me never have TJs, but they always have a dozen WJ Grand Cherokees, which have the same cruise control switches as my 2005 TJ. If I already have cruise control wiring, would I be able to take and use the WJ servo and cable, or are only the switches the same?

    Whistling noise and stalling

    Near the end of a 3 hour drive, my TJ started whistling slightly while accelerating. After that, it the rpms would drop to zero when I stopped giving it gas. Every time I needed to stop or make a slow turn, it would turn off, and I’d have to crank the engine while releasing the clutch and...

    Should I install a K&N cold air intake?

    So an acquaintance of mine whose TJ was totaled gave me a few things from it, including a KN cold air intake. I’ve heard conflicting opinions about them, and wouldn’t have bought one myself, but I’m wondering if it would be worth installing considering I already have it.

    285/70R17s With No Lift?

    So I ended up with a set of 285/70R17s from someone whose Jeep was totaled recently. I know I’ll definitely need a lift kit before too long, but I’m wondering if I’d be able to use them until then, considering I’m only ever on the road.

    Would this be a good soft top?

    Looking to switch 2005 TJ from a hardtop to a soft top. I need a top and all the necessary hardware. Would this be a good option? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004P23X6W?tag=wranglerorg-20

    Ignition switch question

    Just a quick question. While chasing an intermittent no crank issue, I had to remove my ignition switch temporarily. When I reinstalled it I noticed that the single screw holding it in doesn’t tighten completely, it only keeps spinning. Could this be a problem in allowing the switch to be loose...

    Intermittent click, no start

    I recently bought a manual 2005 TJ, which runs great. It usually starts up fine, but I’ve gone to start it a few times and only gotten a click. The lights dim when I turn the key, but it won’t crank. If I try a few times or wait a minute or so it will start right up. I replaced the ignition lock...
