    Re-gearing cost / advice

    I've seen some crazy prices here in Colorado that line up with OP's original quote. However, I had both my axles Re-Geared PLUS rear ARB Locker installed for about $2700 out the door. For re-gearing alone, my preferred shop only charges $1700 on the Jeep Wrangler platform. (Evolution Offroad in...

    Replacing stereo in 2006 TJ

    Most of the "plug and play" harnesses available for the TJ platform will require some splicing to be utilized with aftermarket equipment. The Plug & Play is true, for the factory harness side ONLY. But for most plugs, it's just a pig-tail for you to then splice into your new head unit harness...

    Needing Advice on New Front Bearing / U-Joint / Ball Joint Issues

    Bought an LJ about a month ago, and for the last 2 days I've been in the process of 'refreshing' my front axle. Last service date of Ball Joints was 1 Lower Joint 40,000 miles ago by the Jeep Dealership. With no service history of any other UJoints , BallJoints, Hub Unit, I'm only assuming they...

    I've got a feeling this one will be gone QUICK, but I'm just throwing it here on the off-chance someone in the group is looking/ready to buy. Appears to be in very well-kept shape, with only 146k. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/925751405493474/

    Figuring out my Driveline Vibrations after 4" Lift...

    Bear with me, this is going to be a bit longer than I hoped... We've been discussing this issue in my build thread for a few days now, but I decided it was time to make a thread entirely for the issue. ( there are plenty of threads like it, however I can't figure out some of the answers I need...

    Best Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms

    There's a lot of discussion about which arms are best, etc. While I do understand a lot of it, I'm concerned with FRONT UPPER arms only. With most Control Arms underneath the TJ/LJ platform, there's typically two 'ends' to consider, which can drive the price up substantially. However, the front...

    SOLD 2000 Wrangler Sahara - 143k Miles

    I bought an LJ last week, so I'm parting ways with my TJ! I don't have garage space to keep both. It was lifted, modified, and enjoyed for my entire ownership, but recently I've taken it back to factory specs, with factory/OEM parts. (build thread here if you're interested in seeing...

    Confusing P0205 Code

    My 2000 Sahara is being prepped to sell. It's never given me ANY mechanical/Engine issues, and has only thrown TWO engine lights during my entire ownership. Both have been the P0205 Code. "Fuel Injector 5 Circuit/Open" Both times the issue has resolved itself within a matter of seconds, with a...

    Help Identifying these Upper Control Arms

    This might be a bit of a long-shot, but I could use some mass group help identifying my control arms. I've had this set of Rear Double Adjustable Upper Arms in my shop for 6 months now. I've been referring to them as "no-name" double adjustables, and it was just brought to my attention that...

    JKS vs Currie Front Track Bar

    So, I know this topic has been beaten to the walls, but I want to approach it from a fully unbiased viewpoint. There are a lot of threads similar to this one, with most of them turning into a " —- is better" vote, versus actual information. Currie is a top quality product from what I've seen...

    Colorado Daily-Driven Trail Warrior V2 - 2006 LJ

    Decided I would make a build thread to document my progression into my first LJ. I'm uber excited to start building this one up. As some of you already know, a few days ago I came across an absolutely unpassable deal on a 2006 Wrangler Unlimited "LJ" near me. 4.0L w/ NSG370 6-speed...

    I Just Scored The Deal Of The Century - My Second "TJ" - A 2006 LJ

    My first "browsings" into the TJ world, I immediately wanted an LJ. The simplicities of a TJ, with additional benefits for what I wanted to use the rig for. I live in a Snow/Ice area, I snowboard a lot, and I like to off-road some fairly aggressive trails. So I wanted the extra Cargo space, and...

    Fuel Tank Skid Plate

    Took the TJ to an Offroad Park near me today, and smashed the factory fuel tank skid. It was a hard enough hit that I initially thought it was my rear bumper. Absolutely rattled my bones. After hitting it, I threw a CEL for about 10 min, which went away after re-cranking the Jeep. Still unsure...

    Barnes 4WD Front Stubby Bumper

    Is anyone running the Barnes 4WD Stubby Front Bumper? Any significant Pro's/Con's to it? Price-Tag is $515, but they also sell the "weld it yourself" kit for only $200. As an ex-fabricator, the price is right, and it'd be a fun way to save some coin. Just wanting to see if anyone...

    Weird Brake Issue: Rear Brake Locking on Right Side

    Really weird issue popped up today while driving around town. My passenger REAR brake seems to be locking up while braking. I noticed it first in a parking lot, while rolling about 4 mph. Stopped for a crosswalk, soft braking, and the passenger rear tire locked & skidded to stop. (again, this...

    Colorado Daily-Driven Trail Warrior

    New to the forums, and decided to start a build thread for my 2000 Sahara TJ. Always thought build threads were fun to scroll, and also enjoy the idea of having a "log" of my TJ's life. Lived in South Carolina, spent my whole life around fast cars, and the car/racing scene in general...

    Steering won't return to center (6.1 degree caster - 1/8" toe-in)

    Only my third message ever in the forums, and I hate to be 'that guy', but here we go. According to the alignment rack AND my digital angle gauge, I'm sitting at 6.1* positive caster & 1/8 Toe-In. Despite that, the Steering will not "return to center". Meaning, at any speed, If I point the...
