    Will a JK track bar fit a TJ?

    It will not fit. It's a different design and length.

    Message from Gerald at Savvy

    Gerald had an interesting comment last week. I'm guessing it's still going to be a while.

    Recommendations for Eye Protection

    I've been happy with my Lincoln face shield. It has plenty of room for my glasses, is comfortable and flips up easily. I am planning on getting a cheap set of prescription safety glasses at this years eye appointment but will still use the shield for grinding or spraying...

    SOLD Tiburon seats $150

    I ran these in my LJ for several years. There in good shape and are an easy swap. I have the adapters I used for my fold and tumble bases that will go with them. Obviously these would need to be picked up as shipping would not be an option. Located just south of Tyler TX.

    Mopar Light Bar

    I believe it was due to the Unlimited soft top having the Sunrider feature in 04 and 05. It looks like the directions you have are from 04. The sunrider wasn't an option for the TJ until 06.

    TJ seat foam

    I think it depends on how worn out your foam is. I just finished replacing my drivers side. I had recently refreshed my seats and used the old steam cleaner trick to plump the foam back up. It was in decent shape but had the typical tear on the outside lower edge. I had glued and reinforced it...

    Help with re-gearing

    When I did my Dana 30 I needed a new carrier. I used the Spicer 706008X. It worked great and came with a shim pack. It was nice to have a larger selection of shims when I did my gears.

    Help ID this rim - from a YJ?

    Looks like older American Racing knockoff of the Gotti J55A design. If the wheels are in good shape and you like them then there is no reason not to run them

    Front Suspension Bump

    I would add some fender washers or something similar to your lower bump stops. You should try to have about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of the shock shaft showing at full bump. From your pictures it looks like your shocks are almost, if not entirely, bottomed out.

    HQ Off-Road

    My front came in a nice rockjock box with everything packed in custom cut foam. I would expect the rear to be packed the same way.

    Re-gearing cost / advice

    That was another motivation to do it myself. I agonized over my final patterns. I'm sure any shop would have sent it out the door as soon as they had good enough set.

    Re-gearing cost / advice

    I spent about $1100 on parts and tools to do mine. This included the specialty tools required and a HP Dana 30 housing. I started on the front axle. I spent several weeks setting it up. I went slow and quadruple checked everything. Once I had it set up satisfactory I started over. I wanted to make...

    Which size tire should I run?

    This website will let you look at all possibilities. http://www.grimmjeeper.com/gears.html If you are going to upgrade and build axles in the next year and are happy with 33's then I would stick with them. No sense in regearing your current axles, unless you have the tools to do it yourself. In...

    Which size tire should I run?

    33's and 3.73 gears is not a good combination. The obvious advice would be to regear the Jeep but I realize that is not in the budget or build plans for many people. If your not looking to build it up then I personally wouldn't be nervous about doing some work to it and dropping to 31's. I ran a...

    California Stolen: 2002 AEV Highline TJ in San Diego

    Sorry to hear about the theft! Fingers crossed that it was just local scum who wanted a joy ride and that it will be recovered. Sadly the TJ is easy just to steal. The design of the door locks makes them all but useless. Anyone can open the locked door in roughly the same time it takes to use...

    Differential Fell Out of Housing

    The first time I opened my Dana 30 to install a lunchbox locker I had the same thing happen. It didn't appear anyone had ever been in to it, but I bought it used, so am not 100%. When I did my regear I picked up a HP Dana 30 and it was the same way. Again, I had no history in the axle and somebody could...

    Cross country move

    My wife an I both lost our jobs during the 2020 BS. We have lived in 4 states in the last 4 years. Oregon, Arizona, Arkansas, and Texas. Aside from jobs and housing we found several other things to consider. Cost of living is a big factor to investigate. There are some beautiful places in this...

    Savvy "Krawler Lite" new rear bumper

    Saw this posted up on Savvys Facebook page. It is described as their new Krawler Lite rear bumper. Thoughts?
