    FREE 2004 Columbia Edition wheels - Free (Gone)

    As I said, you get the shipper to my house and pick them up and then have them package for shipment (put on pallet and wrap them) would be the only way. I’m not interested in packing for shipment or taking them to a shipper.

    FREE 2004 Columbia Edition wheels - Free (Gone)

    I have 5 OE wheels with tires that came off my 2004 Columbia Edition. They are in my storage shed and I don’t feel like digging them out for pics. They are in pretty good shape taken off the Jeep at 50,400 miles. No rust, probably a bit dirty. I’m sure there are a few blems. But not bent. The...

    Gen 3 Supra

    Sorry don’t have one anymore. But free bump. I had a 90 Supra non turbo Targa that was white with white stock wheels. Bought it in 2001 and sold it in 2005. Spent mad cash restoring most of it - all back to stock. After replacing many parts it ran nearly perfect. But then started showing signs...

    Would you own a JK/JL instead of a TJ, if money was not an issue?

    I would own a JK or JL in addition to the TJ, but not instead of. The TJ is the most special vehicle (to me) that I have owned and I’ve owned around 60 vehicles. Thats why I’m still collecting (hoarding) OEM replacement parts (sensors, cooling system, fuel, interior, etc) so I can keep it going...

    Wiring a Front Camera

    I wired backup cam to my backup lights. But did not have to splice in at the back of the Jeep. I seem to remember it as a purple and yellow striped wire (on my 2004) that runs up the driver side floor board from back to front dash. As for forward camera, definitely a toggle switch. LIke your...

    Responsible Pet Ownership

    Good thread. I am going through the decision process now on if I should put my dog down. His name is Max and he is an 11.5yo Golden Retreiver. I got him when he was 18 months old from a rescue. He had been neglected and had a terrible case of heart worms. The rescue paid for treatment and I got...

    What is the stereo in your TJ? Double, single or maybe basic?

    It’s the Metra kit that I got from Crutchfield. I like the bezel but the brackets for mounting the receiver behind the dash were garbage. Much too thin plastic with tons of holes so the brackets kept cracking. Ended up having to use flashing to sandwich the brackets to provide more meat And...

    One of these wheels is not like the others

    Nice taste in wheels. I’ve had them for 2 years now

    Should I lease a Jeep?

    He most likely means a JL. I wouldn’t lease one because you won’t be able to modify it or use it for anything other than a commuter car. Unless that is the intent. And as for leasing. If you know what you are doing and especially if the manufacturer subsidizes leases (I.e. BMW up until about 2...

    Looking for opinions

    Actually his post looks like what happens to me when I dictate a text on the iPhone in a hurry and hit send without reading it. I’ve had it happen here too. Nothing 5 edits or so doesn’t take care of.

    Time-off movies and TV show recommendations

    No idea why folks want to watch shows like Contagion right now. I do everything humanly possible to escape the Coronavirus news. No need to get stressed watching those types of movies. I am totally doing the stay at home order though. Have been since 3/12 other than taking a few solo rides in...

    Star Trek

    I saw Star Wars in the movie theater when I was 10. It went over my head. Never saw any of the other Star Wars movies I never watched the original Star Trek series. I have The first 5 Star Wars movies and all three seasons of the original Star Trek series on my NAS. One of these days I’ll get...

    The good news thread

    The post above made me think. I bet the pr0n site traffic is at an all time high. Lots of bored lonely singles (and some married ones too) with too much time to let their minds wander but can’t “hookup”. Just a guess (I wouldn’t know...) I guess my good news is: I’m working from home and am...

    If I could do it again

    When I bought TJ X in early 18 (completely stock) I had every intention on 33’s and 3-4 inches of lift. But I went wheeling early on and realized I will never have the guts to do any wheeling that requires 33’s and a larger lift. And I discovered I hate mud too. So realizing my Jeep would be...

    How much money would I get for this jeep

    I was thinking $7-$9k. Since you are in rust country, others in your area would be happy that the rust has been dealt with and might be willing to pay a little more... Good job on the resto though! You put a lot of hard work into it and it looks great. But a restoration such as yours was...

    Dash wires cut, Jeep won't pass smog: Is this normal?

    I own a 2004 so the wiring is not the same. But when I bought my TJ I had no check engine light (did not illuminate when key turned to “on”). On mine there was a blown fuse on the panel under the right side dash interior. #5 I believe. Of course your 99 is different but check to see if you have...
