So I just got done having a new muffler installed on my 2000 TJ 2.5 and had them install a steel pack muffler so with that has a nice mild sound to it trucking down the road. now that I can actually hear it i have noticed at mid range on rpm it sounds like has a minor miss or it is in a lean...

Well I knew when I bought this Jeep back in December that sooner or later i would have to drop the skid plate and asses the frame so I waited until the Indiana weather improved. The frame on the drivers side was actually decent but the passenger side was shot. So i just finished the project of...

Work has had me busy. For my latest repair, pulled the driver's side seat and dropped it off to an auto upholstery shop that will fix a tear for me. As soon as this crappy Indiana weather breaks which may be never I will start on some corrosion remediation in the frame area. She is in much...

Just injecting a little humor. Actually rides as good as a Jeep is going to ride. The old shocks were original. Installed OESpetrums. I wouldn't say this Jeep was abused by the last owner, but it was neglected. I do all of my own work on her and have enjoyed the improvements every time it leaves...

Last weekend was shock day. Replaced all four shocks, still drives like a log truck Lol. I also had a whining noise at idle since the day I bought the Jeep. Finally determined it to be the alternator so that issue is solved now. My final leak is the front oil seal at the vibration damper it it...

Pro Comp Rims. Got them through Quadratex.

Driver's side door fixed. Ground the head off of the lower bolt, got the hinge to separate enough to get a cut off whell in to cut it. Dorr off, drove the pins pieces out and installed a new pin. Coat with anti sieze and the door slides on and off no problem.

Ok so I got the passenger side good to go. Cleaned up, a little anti seize and the door comes right off. Drivers side is a different story. The lower hinge pin does not rotate with the door like the others. I will order a pin and some bushings and take care of it.

Right, 4.5 was one of the options. Rims are shot so i will be replacing them. Thanks.

I appreciate the info. On my list of things to do tomorrow.

All of the nuts were gone when I bought it. I will give it a shot again. Appreciate the feedback.

So working on the Jeep last weekend in a nice warm garage I attempted to remove the half doors. Obviously they have not been off in years. Googled it and seen a few options using a floor jack to assist. Tried that a little but stopped because I don"t want to damage the door. Any ideas? I intend...

I am hoping to get some expertise in regard to wheels and need to understand offset. I have no plans to add any type of lift and currently have 31x10.50 tires on stock wheels so obviously i do have a rub issue on hard turns. My question is how do I determine how much offset as it looks like...

This weekend work, replaced the steering gear box and the stabilizer shock. I believe I now have all of the drips repaired.

Well I have owned this Jeep for two months now and I am slowly improving her health. This weekend was spent replacing the rear Differential pinion seal, replacing the oil pressure sending unit and repairing the left side cloth strap that supports the frame for the soft top. Keeps me busy in the...

I did and you are correct! Had to cut off the bolts at the converter as well and ended up drilling those out as well. Pulled the front drive shaft and that gave me just enough room. Once i got the correct drill bit combination it was on. Just fired it up this morning, exhaust leak corrected.

Yep. Splined bolts. Drilled them out, just got it all back together.

So i found my exhaust leak. It is at the two bolt flange at the manifold.The flange is loose but these bolts are done.By site they just look like a hex head bolts that drop through the flange but am having trouble tapping them out after cutting through the bolt getting the exhaust pipe flange...

Well, I have owned my Wrangler for just over a month now and really enjoy my new project and really like this site. I just upgraded to supporting member. This Jeep needed and is getting some much needed love and is the perfect project for me. I have a question for the great people of this site...
