    Rubicon Express 3.5" Lift Kit

    I have a RE 3.5" lift on my TJ, and the ride is extremely rough. I know that a lot of this has to do with tires as well, but what should I get to help out with the ride? The kit is the standard suspension one: "The 3.5" Standard kit includes springs, and bump stops, but maintains stock control...

    What kind of Soft Top is this?

    Could someone help me out with this top? What type is it that it folds down like that? I haven't gotten to put my top on yet, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't do anything like that! :-)

    Problem of the day #2 :D, transmission issue

    Lately I've noticed my Jeep is shifting funny sometimes. For instance, I started it up this morning and had it run for a few minutes because it was about 18 degrees outside. I got in, and took off. I got on the road with a 40mph speed limit, got up to 40, and realized my rpms were at about 3k...

    TJ Chugging at start

    When I start up my TJ, it starts and run fine for a second, then chuuuugs for about 5 seconds before returning to normal. Yesterday it did it longer, actually continuing as I started driving. When I pressed the gas, it felt like it was losing power. Then the chug went away again and it was fine...

    TJ...water height?

    Since we're in the middle of all of the flooding, I'm curious as to how much water I could get through if necessary. I have a 99 TJ with 31" tires and a 3 1/2 inch suspension lift. How much water can I get through without having issues..for instance will water start getting into the...

    FM Red River Flood 2009

    Just thought I'd start a thread on the flood for this year for Fargo, Moorhead and other towns on the river nearby. The comments section of In-Forum is difficult to have a discussion in due to the trash talk. If anyone has any news, pics, stories etc please post them! I'll add mine as we get...

    Power Steering Gear Leak

    99 TJ We took a trip up to Baudette MN this last weekend, and I heard some noise coming from the PS pump as we got close (it's about a 4-4.5 hour drive). The power steering fluid was completely gone, and it looked like it had sprayed out of the ps gear area. I put in some ps stop leak and it...

    Air output turn knob not working :(

    The little turn knob to change where the air comes out just stopped working this morning. It's about -20 degrees here, so something must have broke...but no snapping noises or anything, it just turns really easily and nothing changes. Lucky I had it on defrost from yesterday! What do you think...

    1.5 DIN Stereo! DVD, Ipod, Color Screen Info

    Well, after researching forever, I've finally found a head unit that FITS into the stock 1.5 DIN slot. Here's the info on the Jensen VM8013HD. There is also a Jensen VM8013 that's out that just doesn't have the HD radio, everything else is the same. I hate the way a single DIN stereo looks...

    Exhaust manifold cracked

    I kept hearing an exhaust leak in the Jeep, and it's gotten worse since owning it so I decided to have Exhaust Pros take a look (no charge to figure out the problem). They took it in, and told me "the manifold is cracked and needs replacing" It's going to be 300+ for the manifold plus 300+ for...

    Ice...how to?

    It's the middle of winter, and we're getting rain. On top of the snow and ice on the roads. :roll: I made it to work ok, but the parking lot is a mess! When the Jeep is in gear (auto trans) the tires just spin, no foot on the gas or anything. My question is How can I start off in 2nd gear? If...

    Jeep Wrangler I6 to 1990 GMC 4.3...anyone?

    I just was looking into whether this was possible...how do I know what transmission I have? It's a 1999 Wrangler Sport, 4.0 Auto. Has anyone done this and what would I need...an adapter, the engine, mounts, ... :?: I imagine this is the same engine as the Chevy 4.3, but I'm not positive. The...

    Wider stance, which flares and how to do it?

    I have 31" tires on my 99 TJ, and it looks nice but I'd like to widen the stance a bit. If I got the pocket 6" flares (just as an example, please recommend good ones), how do I get the tires out further...spacers aren't a great idea I imagine. Does having the wider stance affect anything in a...

    high-pitched whirr..alternator?

    I'm hearing a high-pitched whirring sound when the engine is cold, and was thinking the alternator might be going bad. It doesn't change depending on if the lights are on or off, but seems to get quieter if I turn off the heat all the way. If I rev it just a little, the sound goes "woop" and...

    Squeeeeek on steering-wheel turn

    Actually it sounds like a duck more than a "squeek", but it goes away when it warms up...like two rubber pieces rubbing against each other. I've tried spraying some silicone where the wheel turns, but no help. With the hood up, it seems to be coming from the firewall near the steering, but...

    Typical Idle Sound? 4.0

    Does the 4.0L (TJ) run as smooth as a car typically, or do they run a little rough? Mine sounds "even", no choking or anything like that, but isn't smooth and quiet at idle either. Maybe an exhaust leak, maybe just needs a tuneup? The plugs and wires were changed in 2005, and the Jeep has been...
