    Outside battery tender

    Hi! I just bought this battery tender for outside storage of my 05. The box suggests that it is good for rain and snow but, I’m going to do what I can to keep it dry anyway (plus the directions say to keep it out of rain/snow, so…). Where have you placed it so it remains dry? Under the hood? On...

    Trailer hitch and plow combo

    Hi! I have an 05 X, without a trailer hitch. I want to put one on, and I heard there is a simple plow blade I can hook to it and plow in reverse. Anyone know a good brand of this combo, or point me to where I can buy each piece separately? I’m just going to do my own driveway, and my house is...

    Anyone know where I can buy new lifters?

    I’m overhauling the camshaft, timing chain, OPDA, head and lifters on my Jeep, but sourcing all the parts is proving difficult. Anyone know a good brand of lifters? Chrysler doesn’t make them anymore. Perhaps a cam and lifter combo? Also, are tappets just lifters by another name? 2005 4.0...

    Is this rust too bad for 1 year?

    Hey all, I’m looking at this 04 Rubi, 185,000 miles, to use for 1 year until I move. Do you think it will last a year, or was it’s last year last year? Lol

    Would you fix the camshaft on this TJ?

    Would you fix a cam shaft on this? My mechanic said that I’m looking at about 1200 just in labor, and, while they have it all open I’d probably want to send the head out to make sure it isn’t warped from any overheating at any point in its past (I’m not the original owner by a long shot), so...

    New York Willys Edition Decals

    I bought these for the price shown in the pic on the date shown in the pic. They’ve been in the tube this ebayer sent to me ever since as I’ve lost interest in using them. Except, I think I bought the 41MB-05TJ version. Make me an offer?

    Look at this PT Loser I bought to preserve my TJ

    I picked up an 05 PT Cruiser today for the sole purpose of using it through the winter so my 05 Willys edition doesn’t see any Salt. How do you guys feel about these things? I never EVER thought I’d own one, in fact I never really even think about them, but this CL find was a deal. At least I...

    Best stock look headlight upgrade?

    Hey, I’m looking to keep the stock look as much as possible but improve my headlights since the actual stock ones stink. A lot of options out there improve the performance for sure but makes the Jeep look too alien for me. Anybody know what I should buy? Thanks.

    What's Your Opportunity Cost?

    What do you guys have to decide between to either buy or maintain/modify your TJ the way you want to? Whenever I consider spending a couple hundred bucks on my Jeep my mind goes to other places that may need that money or may be more appropriate for the money like: 1. Retirement savings 2...

    Long term soft top storage

    What is the best way to do this with a new old stock OEM soft top? Right now the main part is folded in sections like you might see in a fabric store with a rigid piece of whatever in the middle and the windows are folded like you would a poster in a tube. Long term is this going to damage it...

    Is this normal oil pressure?

    2005 6 cylinder. In 5th gear at the time (stickshift). I’ll post a few pics for speed and RPM’s but also because a slight shift in the angle of the camera makes it look different than where the needle actually points (parallax). Thanks in advance.

    Hard top and window opener extension?

    Anyone know if this exists? I’d love to have the back window open up ‘taller’, b/c as is I have to duck and crouch awkwardly when putting things in the back, especially heavy stuff. Maybe the window can’t be opened more vertically because there isn’t clearance to rotate where the top of the...

    Rust opinions / advice please

    Y’all have been great with rust advise so far. Has the frame been painted/undercoated? What do you make of this one? It’s a 2000 Sahara.
