    New to Jeeps

    Hello All, I bought a 2002 TJ Sahara about 2 weeks ago, and I have been reading through this forum pretty heavily ever since (and when shopping for Jeeps). I landed on the TJ (and in the 99-02 range) because I really missed having a manual transmission (last one was a 1996 Dodge 2500 Cummins...

    New member with 2003 TJ 4.0 5-speed

    Well I did it, jumped in and pulled the trigger on a 2003 TJ 4.0L 5sp with 93k miles on it over the weekend. Besides the big tires and K&N air filter is pretty stock. Looking to get some of the finder flares replaced as they are somewhat faded. One item we'd love to get is a hard top for the...

After much searching, we found this one about 6hrs away (a small price to pay for my dream vehicle). It's a 2004 Jeep TJ Columbia Edition with about 180,000km on it. It's a 5 speed standard with the...

    Hey everyone. Picked up this little beauty a week ago. I am going to be doing a lot of cutting and welding rusted floor. I got a new battery, and still can't get the starter to crank over. Found the fuse panel (stupid place on the driver firewall.) I see that the cluster underneath the battery...

    JeepRehab '06 LJ Bright Silver Build Thread

    Hello Jeepers, After lurking on here for the past couple of months during my search for a relatively stock 6 speed manual LJ, I've learned a lot and can only hope to continue. I learned to drive stick in my dad's Scrambler in high school/college. I've always wanted one of my own and being...

    What lift should I get to run 33s?

    Since I got my jeep I've been wanting to get a good lift on it in order to run 33s. I want a good lift but I really only have around $1,200 for the lift it self. I have a 2005 jeep with a 4.0L with dana 35 in the back and a dana 30 in the front with 3.73 gear ratio. My jeep does spend a lot of...

    Too much rust on this TJ?

    Hey everyone! I am new to the forum and I am looking for some opinions on a 2000 TJ that I have my eyes on. However, I want to get some ideas before I make a decision on this one due to the rust on it. They are asking $4,995 for it and it has 152,247 miles. Let me know if this frame is worth the...
