    Need advice on rust and potential TJ purchase

    Good afternoon everyone. I hope this note finds you all well leading up to an amazing Thanksgiving holiday. It’s been a while since I’ve been on this site and it’s been a while since I’ve owned the TJ. I am contemplating a purchase off of eBay but need some advice in reference to the rust on the...

    Cylinder compression issue: Should I fix it or not?

    Hello all, I have a 2004 TJ with a 4.0 and six speed. Last week the idle was pretty rough so I decided to change out the spark plugs (even though they were fairly new). I found the plug on cylinder six fouled. I couldn’t quite explain it but I put the new plugs in, cleaned the throttlebody and...

    What’s my Jeep worth

    I am considering selling my 2006 4.0 6-speed wrangler. It has a relatively new aftermarket top, Mickey Thompson tires with great tread on steel wheels. AC works as does cruise control. It has an aftermarket stereo. Interior is relatively clean with one cigarette burn on the driver seat. Jeep has...

    Possible scam warning.

    I have a thread looking for Moab’s. Received the PM pictured below. When I emailed the email address, I received a photo and a request for a postal money order and a quote that they are a “western union agent”. Sender pretended not to know what PayPal is. I said no thanks and now have to worry...

    Looking for Moab’s

    Not sure why my previous thread got deleted, but let’s try this again. I am looking for 16 inch, clean Moab wheels. I’m interested in a set of five or four. If you have them available, I am in Southwest Florida and am willing to pay for shipping. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice on painting skid plate

    Hello all! I have been doing a bunch of routine maintenance on my 06’ lately (thank you all for your advice). Driveline still seems a little klunky even after diff, transfer case, and 6-speed lube changes. I am thinking of doing the U-joints soon. All that said, I noticed that the tranny skid...

    Scratching my head... TJ is being sluggish

    I am struggling with a problem that hopefully you can help solve. I recently cleaned the throttle body on the TJ as well as replaced the plugs and rotated the tires. I could not believe how great the Jeep ran. It was like it had a different engine altogether. Now, a few short weeks later, the...

    Moab wheel question

    Good morning. I found a set of Moab 16” wheels somewhat locally. I’m considering purchasing them at four wheels for $300.00. I currently have Mickey Thomson’s 265/75/16 on Black Rock wheels. Two questions: Will my current tires fit those rims and subsequently the Jeep well? I don’t know much...

    My new TJ, take two...

    Let me start by thanking everyone that has provided feedback on my TJ search threads and for all those who shared kind words when my last purchase turned out to be a total flop. Last week while running my barrage of searches on craigslist, auto trader, and others, as I have been doing every day...

    Let me know what you think about this TJ

    As many of you read in my last thread, I had a challenge with a TJ purchased on eBay. Fortunately I was able to return it to the seller for a refund and was only out $1400 for shipping. I had a beat on another jeep on eBay but let it go at the end, opting to find something local instead. I...

    Diamond In The Rough. New To Me 97 TJ

    I think I made a very poor decision! After searching for months on CL, autotrader, etc... for a TJ, I found one on eBay that I thought would be perfect. I bid against several other bidders and ultimately won the auction at what I thought was a great deal. It arrived today and needless to say it...

    Thoughts on hardtop crack

    Hello all. I’m new to the site and about to be a TJ owner for the first time. I am considering a 2004 TJ that is overall in “ok” condition. The hardtop is cracked on both left and right sides in roughly the same spot. Please see image below. Is this serviceable? Welcome your thoughts. Thanks...
