    TJ front pinion seal ?

    2004 TJ X had the front pinion seal go out. Still under warranty so I had the dealer replace it. Anything I need to be wary of....keep an eye out for to make sure this was done right? I've read a few of the old forum posts on the topic and there appears to be some talk about making sure the...

    $1400 3" Body Lift

    That's not a typo. But you may have guessed...it's the dealer installed price. No, I didn't go asking. We were at the mall last night and the local Jeep dealer had a new 2005 Wrangler on display with some dealer installed extras. 2005 Wrangler SE, Auto, I-6, 3.73 gears at $21,170 PLUS all...

    Uneven brake shoe wear

    Pulled the rear brake drums off today to clean 'em. Typical 5,000 mile routine for me. I noticed that on both sides of the vehicle that the shoes toward the front are wearing quicker than the shoes toward the rear. It looks pretty similar on both (left/right) sides of the vehicle. This is the...

    4wd on pavement, now what...

    MPG? Left the baby in 4wd on pavement for about 4 miles. I was running about 45mph for the trip. Pretty much straight road...curves, but no turns. When I noticed I dropped it back into 2 HIGH. Got her into the garage a few minutes later. I smelled what seemed to me something "sickly sweet."...

    Liberator AT tires? Thoughts?

    Anyone have experience or thoughts on the Liberator AT tires? I'm looking at some 31x10.5x15's. The Liberator AT is only sold at Walmart. I do know it's made by BFG which is a subsidiary of Michelin. It also has 16/32's tread to start in this size. I don't need a mud terrain tire. But I'd like...

    31's rub on stock TJ suspension

    Just picked up some Canyon rim 15x8's on ebay for the 2004 TJ X. I had the stock 15x7's but wanted to go to a taller and wider tire. Besides the Canyon's look better than the steel factory wheels. Anyway, I've heard that 31 x 10.5 x 15 tires rub....just a little....at full flex on factory TJ...

    Do I REALLY need to regear?

    RE: TJ stock bumper winch compatibility Okay...when I bought the Jeep I didn't pay too much mind to the rear axle ratio. I figured...it's a Jeep!! I went with the X because I knew I didn't want the 4 cylinder. It's a 2004 TJ X with a 3.07 rear axle ratio and 5 speed. I live in Florida so my...

    TJ stock bumper winch compatibility

    exhaust manifold gasket I'm a little ways off from getting a winch but I wanted some opinions. I have a 2004 TJ X with stock bumpers. What do you recommend regarding winches and bumpers? It appears that many people go with an aftermarket bumper when adding a winch. Are the stock bumpers strong...

    Manual Transmission Rattle in Neutral, TJ

    Question for the group. I have an 04' TJ manual tran 6-cyl. If I'm idling in neutral with the clutch disengaged I hear a very slight rattle. It sounds like transmission teeth are just barely rubbing...like almost ready to catch. If I engage the clutch, the noise goes away. It's never slipped...

    Changed to synthetic blend oil, should water temp drop?

    chevey 350 for sale I've started taking the plunge from regular oil on my way to full synthetic. I'm going the route of a synthetic blend as a mid-point. I've expected some benefits but one thing that has changed that I didn't expect is the the water temp guage now reads about 10 degrees less...

    Do you have a skid plate story?

    Right now I've just got the factory skid plates on my TJ Wrangler X (no lift). Around Florida I'm mostly concerned with smacking a stump in the mud or playing Titanic against a limerock boulder that's hiding like an iceberg. I don't have the cash right now to completely armor the underbody so I...

    Liberty wheels on a TJ?

    RE: Gosh It I have a 2004 Jeep Wrangler X. The factory rims are 15x7. I want to put on 16" rims and bigger tires. I'd really like to keep with genuine Jeep parts. I've been shopping for Rubicon rims as they are 16x8. They're quite expensive, even used. I noticed that Jeep Liberty rims are...
