So I picked up another 2003 Rubicon to go with my 2004. I has some nice mods, lots of miles, but the OO had lifetime oil changes and they were pretty religious about it so for at least 150k it had regular oil changes. Anyway, I was looking at the steering and it's definitely aftermarket but it's...

I looked for over a year for my current TJ I bought in 2017. I can afford a new loaded Jeep but I didn't want one for what I'm using it for. I see a lot of my more serious rock crawlers going back to TJ's too. Right now if someone showed up with a new Rubicon an a gym bag with $100k in it I'd...

lol getting hard to find decent Mall speed bumps!

ooof I looked up that Savvy plate and even if you have to get the Genright crossmember kit (that I highly recommend) and a MML and BML you're still saving money. https://genright.com/products/universal-transmission-crossmember-kit.html But if you want one to look nice and pretty for the few...

Genright uses 1000% way better steel. I'm sure it would be a lot better on your wallet!

Howdy!

Update 9 months out on my super-custom Odyssey install: Zero issues! Haven't purchased the welder yet because I decided to do a Metalcloak long arm kit instead but that's still on the list.

Damn I would have suggested putting in the Genright access door before reinstalling the tank. You can do it later if you have a body lift.

Genright Belly Up steel skid plate off my 2004 TJ, had to remove for my long arm kit. Powdercoated black You need a crossmember kit, MML, 1.25" BML, to use this. Local pickup only (Gilbert). https://genright.com/products/tj-belly-up-skid-plate-steel.html $300

Pics of the install.

Well I got them both in but looks like I'll need to take it all back out and move the tray closer to the engine. I had just enough room when I was mocking it all up as I went but when it came time to actually tighten things down it's all a little higher than I thought and the hold down is...

After buying all the parts last March I'm finally doing this project. Yes I am a world class procrastinator but I also decided to break other stuff that was more pressing. SO the issue I'm running into is that on my 2004 there is a special two bolt tab that is bolted into the fuse box under the...

They help quite a bit if you have a hard top and doors. Mine is pretty sealed except for a torn shifter inner boot.

Those posts are from a few years ago. California's fire season is typically in the Fall when the Santa Ana winds blow. Arizona's is going on right now before the monsoon storms come, mostly at lower elevations with buffelgrass imported in the 30's that is destroying the Sonoran desert's natural...

I can see how that would happen! It's mot a daily driver my real concern is mostly how many days I can get in Mexico with a full fuel load to avoid buying Pemex.

I can see in this photo how the dual batteries will be an issue, maybe I should rethink that. Seems like the inner fender would be OK otherwise though.

Thanks Chris for the clarification on the tuners. It has some tune in it already as I can't run anything but 91 octane without throwing misfire codes. @david I have the standard height fenders but I do have a 1" bodylift and a 1" MML. I have stock headers and a catback exhaust, I think it's...

Hey thanks I appreciate you getting an answer for that. The GR inner fenders are nice but I kinda wish I had just cut up my stock ones. I didn't trust myself with the jigsaw.

HPT or Sykes tuner for a 2004 Rubicon? Anyone have more engine bay pictures particularly passenger side? I need to see if there will be clearance for a dual battery mod. I have Genright fenders and inner fenders if that matters. I'd also like opinions on how these hold up in extreme AZ heat...

Great write up and I really appreciate the parts list! How have the Optimas held up in the AZ heat? I used to run them in my F250 but Costco got tired of me returning them and stopped carrying Optimas. When you winch have you tried using snatch blocks to reduce the load on the winch? I'm in...
