I've never been terribly happy with my 4" Skyjacker Single-Flex lift and am giving some serious thought to upgrading to a long-arm kit. I've been looking at Rubicon Express and they offer a long-arm upgrade. The price difference between the upgrade and a new long-arm kit isn't huge, so I'm...

Thanks for the great replies. I'm curious about ethanol, but haven't (yet) been convinced of its ultimate benefits. I like the idea of a clean(er) burning fuel...just a bit of a left wing whacko here, LVRockCrawler :-) ...but am especially interested in doing something to lessen dependence on...

Has anyone out there converted a TJ to use E85 and/or ethanol, as well as regular gasoline? Just wondering if it's possible and what's involved. Thanks, Rob

Thanks for the Poison Spyder tip. Any thoughts on the Sun Performance Rocker Guards? I like the looks of them, but how do they hold up?

Funny you should mention this...I thought about building my own "trunk." Perhaps that is the only option. Bestop's design was pretty nice (using the seat mounts, etc), but it's a poorly manufactured product. Are the Tuffy and Bestop trunks the only ones out there???

Thanks for the feedback. I checked out Interco's site. Is anyone familiar with the TrXus MT tire? They claim it is "almost magical in icy snowy conditions."

I'd like to replace the back seat in my TJ with a "trunk." I looked at Tuffy's trunk, but I really don't want something that heavy/bulky back there. That led me to Bestop's Extend-a-Trunk. I ordered one the other day and tried to install it, but the mounting holes did not line up properly. I...

I've currently got 33x12.5 BFG All-Terrain tires on my TJ (4" lift). I'd like to replace the tires with ones that have a more aggressive tread, but also function well in snow and ice (I live at Lake Tahoe). Size-wise, I'd like to stay around 33 or 34. I don't know much about tires, so if...

A while back I posted about some problems with my TJ after installing a Skyjacker 4" lift (Single Flex). The ride was rather "floaty", with the body almost rocking back and forth a bit, especially around corners. The other problem was the steering. The front axle seemed to almost shift...

I'm thinking of installing a pair of side/rock guards on my TJ and was wondering if anyone had any favorite products...or advice on what to avoid? I'm currently looking at the Warn Rock Sliders and Currie Rock Ribz. Any thoughts? -Rob

Thanks for the suggestions. What are the primary differences between the Skyjacker Single-Flex kit I have installed and the RE Long Arm kit? Just curious. Wish I'd done more of this research BEFORE the shop talked me into the Skyjacker kit. :-) Regarding a long-arm upgrade, any suggestions...

Rubicon Express vs. Skyjacker Lift (Wrangler TJ) Hello everyone, I've got a Skyjacker Single-Flex 4" lift on my 1999 TJ. I've never been particularly pleased with the ride. It's rough and very squirrelly. I replaced the Skyjacker shocks recently with Rancho RS9000 and that has helped...

DrawTite hitch for Wrangler TJ. It may fit other vehicles as well. Model number is 41531. $50. Located in South Lake Tahoe, but can probably schedule a meeting place with serious buyer in the Sacramento area if he/she can't make it up here.

Hitch-mounted Thule locking bike rack and ski/board carrier. Bike rack includes a hitch lock, as well as a second lock to secure the bikes. Ski carrier fits where the bikes would go and locks into place. Skis and boards can then be locked to the carrier. Great design and simple to use. Bike...

I put these shocks on my Wrangler a few months before I decided to lift it, so they maybe have 3,000 miles tops on them, almost all of it highway miles. They've been sitting in the garage for over a year and are in very good shape. Shock model numbers are RS99128 (x2) and RS99240 (x2). You...

That would be awesome. Thanks!!!

I have a Garvin front bumper on my TJ, as well as a rear Swing-Away bumper w/ Trail Rack, so I'm definitely a big Garvin fan. However, I'm not too excited about drilling, so the Top Five looks good from that standpoint. That said, I can't really tell how the Top Five mounts to the rear of the...

Follow up question... Any idea if there's a big difference in weight between the Top Five and Garvin racks? Garvin's stuff truly deserves the "armor" description. It's heavy!

Thanks for pointing out the Top Five rack. It looks pretty good, but the Garvin can handle a heavier load. Hmmm. Decisions, decisions... Anyone out there have the Garvin rack? How much drilling is required?

I'm looking for a roof rack for my TJ and thought I'd see if any of you fine folks have some suggestions? I currently have a soft top on my TJ, but plan to put a hard top on this winter. I do not want a rack that mounts directly to the top, but rather one that attaches to the body and works...
