    Sorry, no air bag control modules for 2000 TJ

    There are many posts on this topic, but could not find anything on repair/rebuild of the ACM. (Q1.) Is the only solution to live without airbags, until you MIGHT be lucky enough to find a "VIN matching" unit on EBAY? (Q2.) Has anyone located an electrical engineer or service that can replace...

    Milestar Patagonia 15k Mile Review

    The tire 33x12.5R15 and is stamped 35psi. It was crazy squirrely when picked up from the dealer, but I lowered to 30-ish.

    Milestar Patagonia 15k Mile Review

    My "playground" is 7-8 hours away and through heavy LA traffic. These tires (33x12.5R15) at 28-30psi are a buzzkill (i.e., active/stressful) on the return trip and driving at highway speeds 60-70mph. Might be the curved profile and less road content for a "smooth ride". No complaints off-road or...

    Has anyone experienced issues with older tires?

    The tires are 11/2006, not 6/2011. That makes them 14.5 years old. OMG ... I am getting old way too fast!!

    Has anyone experienced issues with older tires?

    This old thread really helped me decide. Thanks all. I keep my 2000 TJ parked in the garage and use like a boat. The tires do not see the sunlight, but I am sure simply aging (continuous vulcanizing) will make them hard and dangerous. These are BFG KM from late 2011 and still have tread. The...

    33” tires: 4.56 or 4.88 gears?

    That just kills me!! I have been baking on 33 or 35 for a few months. The locker decision is driving the commitment, but I don't think I need 35, yet. I am about resolved to 33 again with the gear/locker upgrade. I heard someone say "let the rig, determine your needs". I have not hit a wall...

    33” tires: 4.56 or 4.88 gears?

    Old thread, but same problem. I need to re-gear/locker, plus need new tires soon. I would love to have the option for 35" in the future, but am happy with 33" so far. I want to do more overlanding and road trips that take 6-8 hours on/off highway. I have 800lb trailer. I have...

    4.56 or 4.88 gears?

    I missed the important fact that I am moving up to 35" from 33", currently. I need to run in 4 gear on highway to keep up and 3 gear to make hills, with the stock gears on 33".

    4.56 or 4.88 gears?

    I am struggling with this decision also, since have no experience driving/riding in a re-geared jeep. I have 4.0L, 5speed, Dana 30 front and Dana 44 w/limited slip rear. I want to do more overlanding and off-road climbing at the destination. Not crazy climbing, but need to get to Rubicon and Moab soon...

    The Official Tummy Tuck FAQ Thread

    Sorry I was hijacking this thread (not a regular forum user) with my build questions. I will take the non-TT elsewhere.

    The Official Tummy Tuck FAQ Thread

    That is really interesting. I don't know why none of my shop bids bring this information forward. It makes me uncomfortable that the "experts" don't suggest an optimal build. Maybe just a waste of air for them?

    Why not both Eaton? I have plans for Eaton. Can’t decide on 1 or 2 lockers. For sure rears with 4.88 regear plan.

    The Official Tummy Tuck FAQ Thread

    That is a very nice, balanced rig. I wanted to regear with lockers, so have suffered with low power for very long time. Did you do lockers front/rear? I am getting solid suggestions to either do both or do front.

    Everything above 33" feels like a rabbit hole. Thanks for your thoughts.

    The Official Tummy Tuck FAQ Thread

    Hello! This might be my first post to this forum. I have been "designing" my next step for a 2000 TJ that I bought new off the truck. Currently, I have budget 2" Teraflex spacer lift and 1" body lift for my 33". I have Dana 30/Dana 44 wanted to regear for 35" tires and lockers, since old rubber is about...

    The Official Jeep Wrangler TJ Oxygen (O2) Sensor Thread

    I have burned up (broken inside shell) 3 Cat converts in the past 5K miles. I have 2000 TJ (55K miles, original owner) with 1 upstream and 1 downstream sensor. No codes thrown, runs/idles fine ... but after a few trail runs the CATCO replacements start to rattle (and break up). Spent about $1K...

    Cold Air Intake Problem

    Thanks everyone. My bad on the use of “carburetor” instead of “throttle body”. You all seemed to get the idea, though. If factory intake is proven not to restrict, i will get new o2 sensors. Also, will discuss with Chrystler more next week. YES, i have had 3 cats from Catco turned to rattle...
