    ROH / AEV Wheel Refinishing?

    Appreciate the link. I want to try and keep the machined lip if possible and not paint it. Just have it recleared. The painted part of my wheels is pretty good. I like stuff original:) If I power coat them, they are not coming back to original.. Was thinking a white or maybe bronze in powder...

    ROH / AEV Wheel Refinishing?

    Found a cool set of older ROH wheels. Looks like they were used on some early builds for them. I have a White 98 TJ and would like to get them refinished. One has a little curb rash and they all have some clear issues on the lip. Anyone have any luck with wheel refinishers bringing them back to...

    How does the aluminum Powdercoat? Never had it done before... What do you think about the plain bumper and using a hitch or their hitch bumper? Sometimes I need to pull a 6x10 utility trailer around locally in the city.

    Undercoating is a concern. Mine is a garage queen. Her's will be daily to and from school.

    Advice on 98 TJ 4 cylinder on 33s

    I run 33's with 4.56. If its an auto 4 cyl it will be a dog. 31's are somewhat OK. We ran it for a year and then LS swapped it:)

    TJ / LJ Jeep Shopping: Input Appreciated

    Been looking for a TJ / LJ 4.0 auto for my 16 yo daughter for the past month or so. I am up in northeastern PA so rust is a major issue here. I know what to look for and to say the least, I am exhausted and frustrated! Everything thus far is rotted out either frame or body. Drove 1.5 hours...

    What is the best suspension lift for my 1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ?

    Just a heads up, I have the OME and love it, rides great. Not cheap but well worth it. Do your homework.

    1998 Jeep TJ 2.5 automatic to 5.3 4L60E swap complete

    It will start and run. My motor is independent and has a stand-alone harness. I could start it on an engine stand if I needed to. If you want to go through the wiring, message me your # and I will try and call this weekend to talk through it. We could do zoom as well.

    Yes, stock computer still uses the 1st plug. Left one when looking head-on. I would have to pull the wiring diagram, but there are some wires there that I wanted to retain, airbag, etc.

    1998 Jeep TJ 2.5 automatic to 5.3 4L60E swap complete

    All are Autometer electric short sweeps. I actually bought a complete corvette dash setup off of Facebook marketplace and repurposed the gauges. Autometer Fuel sending unit will be needed as the jeep one won't work with the gauge. I added the trans temp on the pillar and an aeroforce in my...
