    Looks like I'll be hanging around

    Some of you may have seen me post my TJ up for sale last week. I am about to be on travel A LOT and it will just be sitting at home, so I thought about getting rid of it. After going back and forth on it for a few days, I just couldn’t find myself selling it when it is already paid off and I...

    California Moving to San Diego - recommended trails?

    My time in FL is coming to an end and we will be driving West later this week. I have been stationed in San Diego before, but I only road my motorcycle then. What trails are recommended? I’m not looking to rock crawl yet, but want some fun beginner to intermediate trails. I’m lookin for trails...

    P0303

    I sprayed fluid film on my muffler and other places two days ago. Today is my first day to drive the Jeep since. After driving it on the highway for about 30 minutes. I went in a store, came back out, and when it I started the Jeep it idle’d rough and threw the P0303 code. Could this be due to...

    Morris 4x4

    I wanted to share my experience with fellow Jeepers. I have been in the market for a new soft top and upper door skins, so I’ve been pricing different options. I ride with just the top on in a safari top style for about 9 months out of the year. For this reason I settled on the Pavement Ends...

    Core 4x4

    Has anyone used any of their control arms. Made in America, great warranty, good pricing, and use Currie’s Johnny Joints. I’m looking at going with the tier 2 or 3.

    Brake question

    Last weekend I swapped out my brake hoses front and rear, rotors, calipers, and pads (Black Magic kit). Today, my Jeep started squealing every time I applied the brakes. Before pulling the rear wheels off and inspecting the drums and shoes, I wanted to see what the experts had to say. They were...

    Brake kit for 33" and larger tires

    I am in the early stages of diagnosing a problem I am having (occasional burning smell and jeep occasionally pulls hard to the right when I apply the brake). If it is indeed a sticking caliper and I end up replacing the caliper, I will likely go ahead and replace the rotors and everything at the...

    Let’s talk control arms

    I am pretty sure I read on here that unless you have a long arm kit or a certain height of lift, stock control arms are ideal for the front. Am I recalling this correctly? At what height should you go adjustable? Lastly, does the creak typically come from the upper control arms or should I go...

    Smokers

    For those of you who have them, share your love. I've used charcoal and electric. Currently looking at either buying an offset charcoal smoker or a pellet style (blue mountain grills). I mainly smoke brisket, but haven't decided on the size of smoker I want to buy. Thinking of getting a smaller...

    Gas Tank Mod

    I had read that all TJs have a 19 gallon tank, but some are limited to 15 gallons from the factory. I believe mine is one of those and am thinking of dropping the gas tank to do the mod, but wanted to see if anyone knew exactly what years/models (Canada only, USA and Canada, etc.) had this...

    Rubicon Express Chromoly Tie Rod

    http://www.morris4x4center.com/chromoly-tie-rod-rub-re2600.html Anyone have experience with this? My tie rod ends need to be replaced and am looking to upgrade it while I'm at it. I'd do the Currie tie rod/drag link kit, but don't have the $550 to spend because I need to get an adjustable track...

    Occasional hard start

    Every now and then (about once every 20 or so starts), the key feels hard to turn as I start it. It starts but sounds like crap, I turn it off and then it fires right up as normal and sounds great. As a side note, this happened before and after swapping out new spark plugs. Sent from my...

    Stuck Spark Plug Coil Rail

    Well, a 30 minute job of replacing my spark Plugs has turned into a multi-day job (par for the course). I cannot get the blasted spark plug coil rail off, so I tightened the four bolts back down to torque specs and sprayed WD-40 all round it. Letting it sit overnight and will likely try again...

    Towing Capacity

    I have a 2003 Wrangler X with 4.56 gearing and 33 spline chromoly rear axles. To save my buddy the mileage on his truck, I want to tow his trailer and quad 80 miles each way to the trails. I'm in FL, so the only inclines will be overpasses. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Waterproofing seats

    Curious what others have done to waterproof their cloth seats. My interior is bed lined and I have a marine radio, now to fix the wet butt after it rains. I want to be able to leave my doors and soft top windows off all summer. Currently, I keep a towel on the dash above the radio and just sit...

    Center Bezel

    Anyone know where to get a replacement for less than $100? I already checked my local pick a parts and they don't have any TJs. For the life of me I do not understand why this costs so much. Right now it is held together with gorilla glue and tape (underneath to hold the right side on since...

    Constant squeak/creak

    Since rotating my tires, greasing the fittings, and changing the oil I have had a constant creak/squeak coming from the front end. It does not matter how slow I go, I hear it. The only thing I can think is that I may have loaded too much grease in one of the fittings and possibly busted it, but...

    Why?!

    Why would you pour that much money into a Jeep wrangler that is 2WD?!? Also, why would Jeep make a 2WD? Brings a whole new meaning to the term "mall crawler." https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/cto/6024063702.html 2007 JEEP WRANGLER UNLIMITED - $17900 (tampa) hide this posting image 1 of 24...
