    Skid plate holds up the fuel tank?

    So I was going to drop the skid plate on my 2004 Rubicon to route some wiring and paint up the skid plate. As I started lowering the skid plate, the tank started dropping too. I didn’t realize that the skid plate holds the fuel tank up. I stopped and tightened everything back up but I was...

    Fuel Injector Question

    I’m replacing the stock fuel injectors with Bosch injectors. 2004 Rubicon with 4.0. They came packed with a clear plastic collar on the end that goes into the intake.

    Missing after tuneup

    So I sold my 1976 International Scout and am the proud owner of a 2004 Rubicon TJ with 5 speed manual and 51,000 miles. It’s in great shape with a 3 inch lift and the Banks Power System. It seemed a little sluggish on the test ride, I guess I was expecting a little more power out of it since...

    Oil filter question

    I know a WIX 51515 filter is not the correct oil filter for a TJ but I have a few of them left over after I sold my Scout. It looks the same just about 2 inches longer than the WIX listed filter. I thought I saw a former forum article where someone said they were using the 51515 on their TJ. I...
