    YJ half doors: Do they fit on a TJ

    If its the uppers with the rounded edge that look like a TJ door, then dimensionally they will fit. However the latch is different and the latch on the TJ itself would need to be modified. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-install-yj-half-doors-on-a-tj.3030/

    Tip and tricks on removing OEM skid plate nutserts?

    A bit unconventional, but i ended up using an angle grinder to cut the head of the bolts like a pizza, and breaking the bits off with pliers. Then i was able to just hammer the bolt and nutsert through the hole and into the frame.

    Help finding paint to match Moss Green Pearlcoat (PJN)

    While I would love to get the paint mixed up and spray myself, space is tight in my area so I don't have any painting equipment. I'm also on a pretty tight budget right now, so paying someone is off the table too. I'll have to check out paintscratch @cliffish

    Help finding paint to match Moss Green Pearlcoat (PJN)

    Long story short, recently got a killer deal on a set of half doors, mismatching color. I knew that Duplicolor makes an OEM matching spray paint for touchups, and that others have used this method as a budget option for painting half doors. What I didn't realize is that they do not make a Moss...

    Where to start?

    I can chime in as someone who also got their TJ at 16. Maintenance first! First thing I did was oil and trans flush (auto). A little over $150 but well worth it. Get some rattle cans of rustoleom black to freshen up the exterior trim and bumpers, made mine look brand new. LED headlights are...

    Black Friday Deals?

    I know that in past years metalcloak has done free shipping for BF, but they also just had that promo for veterans day. JCR is also offering $20 powder coating all month long, so im unsure if they will have an additional sale on top of that.

    Someone keyed my TJ. What should I do?

    This is all assuming its just a clear coat scratch. Get meguiers ScratchX and a 3000 grit sanding pad. Clean the area, and wet sand with the 3000 perpendicular to the scratch until is disappears. Clean again and buff with the ScratchX and microfiber in a circular motion until it looks good...

    What do you guys use to camp / live out of your Jeeps?

    Agreed, his older content was way better. He’s actually inspired me to drive cross country out to the Colorado/Utah area next summer, so I’m still glad i found him! Another awesome channel is goonzquad. They do really in depth build series of wrecked cars, and a few months back did both a...

    Faulty Clockspring?

    I wouldn’t chalk this up to being a normal thing, but a common issue. I did some more research and it sounds like its fairly common for the clocksprings to go bad when the light comes on. My light actually went off after sitting out in the sun these past few days, and i think it might have had...

    Faulty Clockspring?

    On my way to work today, Airbag light came on, and now turns on immediately every startup. With the little research I did, it sounds like its usually either the clockspring or a faulty ACM. My horn works fine, but it just hit me that my cruise control has never worked properly since I bought...

    What is the stereo in your TJ? Double, single or maybe basic?

    One of the first things i did to my ‘05 was switch out the OEM radio and speakers. Ive ran this pioneer for the last year, and it was awesome, no complaints! Pioneer DEH-X7800BHS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FKW67WW/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Of course after using carplay in a rental car i had to...

    I just finished installing a double din carplay unit in my 05. Boss Audio BVCP9675A https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CLM81B3/?tag=wranglerorg-20 For $240 you get a lot of features and the interface is pretty snappy. Plus the screen is capacitive touch which endsup looking much nicer than the...

    lucas_ 2005 Jeep Wrangler Willy’s Edition

    I spent the next few months planning out where I wanted to take this build, as far as looks and capability as it will be my daily for the next few years. I had always wanted to get Metalcloak highlines, and to eventually work up to 33s. I settled on the Zone 3in lift, along with a RC...

    lucas_ 2005 Jeep Wrangler Willy’s Edition

    About a week after owning it I got a new set of shoes for it. It came with some fairly worn out 29s that I swapped with a set of 31" BFG KO2s. Also got some cheap steelies since I wasn't really a fan of the silver wheels. Also high on the list was some seat covers to cover the IMO ugly...
