I know this thread is old, but figured this may help you and other people out in the future. I managed to find a way to retain the factory locker switch to independently control front and rear lockers, while maintaining illumination and the indicator light. I managed to do this by using a...

Been wanting an awning for overlanding/base camping that was not a semi-permanent fixture on my roof. My criteria was: easy to erect/dismantle and stow, lightweight yet durable and budget friendly. I looked at both Kelly’s Waypoint and Slumberjack Roadhouse. Each had its attractions, but the...

Hey everyone, I want to share the Roof Top Tent Trailer I built this spring. This was my senior project in High school. I want to post it here if anyone is interested in building one themselves. I did not find much help while I was building it so I figured I would share mine. It started out as a...

So likely going to buy from Crutchfield. All I want to do is upgrade stock speakers. I don’t even know how speakers there are so that’d be a good start. Would like to balance between easy install and good quality. Ideally don’t want to be adding a bunch of new stuff in places where existing...

Hello my friends, I'm putting a post together in regards to doing a hard top conversion. I've found a ton of information on this thread here going over all the necessary steps to make the swap as far as the harness's go. Given you have all of the parts you need, I wanted to put something...

I recently bought a Clover Leaf Roll for my LJ and quickly realized I didn't want to throw the thing in the cargo area and have it just roll around back there. I figured at some point, I'd be in a hurry and I'd open the rear door and the roll would fall out into a puddle or something; so I...

2002 TJ, the PO said this chipping happens from the hood getting hot. I'd like to get it back in decent shape but wondering if this is a DIY project or if I need to bring it in. If it is something a novice can take care, how might I go about that? Its just on the the hood. Some crackles in the...

After researching and testing the limited options for TJ hood locks and not finding a good solution, thought I’d share what I ended up making as it’s pretty solid and relatively cheap to make. Supplies needed: Welder Angle grinder Sand paper Crescent wrench 1/2” metal bar (Home Depot) Lock...

Need help! Purchased led tail lights from amazon, got them wired and drivers side went perfectly, I cannot reach the studs to attach the nuts on passenger side. What can I do?

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has ever done or knows of a good DIY method for a headliner for a soft top? Or just any DIY to reduce overall sound in the cab? Normally I don’t mind the sound, it’s a soft top so I know it’s going to be noisy and I’m used to it. I’m about to head out in...

The past 4-5 weeks of lockdown I've been working on a little project in my spare time. Wasn't too keen on any of the rear storage systems on the market so I figured I would make one myself. This isn't exactly a build thread but I figured I might as well post up some pics i took throughout...

One day not too long ago I was killing some time searching various website stores for Wrangler accessories when I found something that did pique my interest. Folding tailgate table. I thought that would be great! While sitting on the trunk or sitting in a chair you had somewhere to rest your...

Ok. So I suck at documenting my exploits but I figured now is better than ever. Currently, I am mid build on a 2000 sport with 4.0 I6 manual. I am in Florida so the cost of jeeps down here are higher due to the pristine conditions of the underbody. On top of that, the mall crawler population...

Just bought a 2004 Jeep TJ 141k miles. For $9k Known issues: 1) P0300 random miss fire P0303 cylinder fire P0304 cylinder fire So I’m guessing replacing the spark plugs and coil would fix that? 2)oil pressure gauge drops to “0” when idle say at a stop light or in traffic. Lights and...

anybody have thoughts on narrowing a front differential yourself versus paying a shop to do it? anybody do this themselves? anybody pay someone? what are your thoughts and experiences? im not staying stock width so if anyone has concerns with stock width dont worry. my current thought is to take...

Hi all - not sure this is the best place for this; if not, let me know - I'm new here! So anyways - a few days ago I got my first Jeep, a 2004 Wrangler TJ. Since then, I've been trolling ebay and amazon looking for bits-n-pieces of various detritus to add to my new ride. I live in Arizona...

Does anyone know about how many spray cans of rustoleum it takes to paint the undercarrige of a TJ?
