    Transfer case shifting rod came out and left me in neutral

    So, I was hauling my trailer at night and was shifting out of 4wl and my shifter felt disconnected. So I got under there and sure enough a rod was just laying there disconnected. With help from a friend I got it into 2wh, but now I have no way inside the TJ to shift it into 4wd. My TJ...

    2004 TJ OE fog light question

    I broke my right side fog light and was hoping to replace it with a Mopar one. I see the big companies list '05-'06 ones, but I can't seem to find the correct '04 fog light. The light itself is okay, just the housing broke. Just looking for advice. I could go aftermarket, but I prefer not to...

    Can I push or pull gravel with my TJ for a shared gravel driveway?

    Thinking way outside the box here, but maybe someone is an earthmover or....well has an idea?? I have a gravel road behind my home and it is private and shared with neighbors. The watcher pushes stone around and it is a drag. I have a 2" hitch. I see people dragging baseball fields and...

    Anyway to stealth sleep in a TJ?

    My '04 TJ is standard length. I am 6'2". Is there any ideas how to sleep in my TJ? I looked at the floor to take out my passenger seat and that looks crazy hard to figure out. Hammock ideas? I don't think it would be long enough even at a diagonal? Just wondering if it can even be done...

    Logical steps in figuring out why my reverse keep blowing the #7 fuse

    Today I took apart both rear lights and looked at the wiring, socket condition and unplugged the reverse lights. Then I put a fuse in and turned the ignition on. No problems, but then I put it in reverse and boom, fuse blew. Prior to this I just replaced the blown fuse and it blew as soon as...

    Are there any spare fuses in my '04?

    I need to replace my 10amp reverse light fuse and I looked around if there are any factory spare fuses. No cover on my interior fuse box and looked under the hood and no spares that I can see. Most cars usually have some spares from the factory. Not our TJ"s? I did a search. Maybe they just...

    Taking back seat out and replacing it with a plastic tool box/storage?

    I don't think I will be using my back seat anymore and if I do, I would just throw it in, but I am wondering about putting in a plastic box in place of it. Lighter and it will still hide my subwoofer. I was just going to measure the seat and try and find something, but wondering if anyone else...

    33's on a stock TJ? No problem! Well at least we know what it is like

    I am not advocating such a thing,, but I do feel people like to go overboard. I run 33's with a 2" OME lift and it is plenty high. I want to make mine stock again at some point and waiting for my 33's to wear down, but that will be years. Therefore, I just looked this up. lol

    Replacing my OE Skid/transmission plate

    So I was Fluid Filming the crap out of my TJ. Some surface rust here and there, but the transmission skid is kind of messed up. Some idiot cut a hole in it to access exhaust. WTF. It is flaking here and there as well. My TJ is an '04 Rubicon manual transmission. My goals are as follows: 1...

    Happy Columbus Day

    Thinking about going to stock suspension from OME 2" lift

    I just wanted to run by this idea here, to make sure I am not missing anything. I believe I will need new springs and tire size change since I am running 33's. I will hope to run 31's. Then I just replace the springs, but can I keep the OME shocks? So I am in for springs and tires. Not...

    Windbreaker between front and rear seats

    I am looking for something that would just cut the wind down a bit. Everything seems so excessive, but this one from Summit isn't too crazy. Would prefer something quick and easy. Some wind can come in, not big deal, just cut it down a bit is all. Is there something fast and easy to just put...

    Can I tell what gears I have by MPH and RPM?

    Is 4th gear 1 to 1? I just keep wondering if I have steeper gears than stock? I pull so well in 4th and most people seem to think 4.10’s with 33’s are not enough. I run 5th gear a lot. My tj has bfg 33’s ko2’s that I think are 32.5 or something. Anyone know what rpm at a certain speed is a...

    Someone tried to buy my TJ on the spot

    It was kind of funny, but some guy at a store saw me pull in and he looked at my TJ and asked if I would sell it. He knew what it was and knew it was the last years of the best of the best. I flat out told him no and didn't even entertain an offer. I wanted to add, I might sell my Audi S5 and...
