    Opinions on Rubicon Express springs

    I see several websites with Rubicon Express springs forsale for really cheap - as in $100 for the rear set and $75 for the front set. My first (spacer) lift was Rubicon Express, and I was really happy with them. I've also heard good things for others, so I'm tempted to buy these springs. My...

    Amazon used parts

    Not really a separate section, but if there are used items, it will be in the lower right corner. I just keep an eye on something I'm interested in over a couple of weeks, and pick it up if I get a deal. I'm not really sure I'd even call it a gamble, as you can return the used item within 30...

    Amazon used parts

    Is anybody here bought used parts off of Amazon? I've been having really good luck lately. I just picked up these teraflex shock extensions for 25 bucks instead of the normal $55. Looks like they're brand new and never installed. My guess is someone purchased them and change their mind. I...

    Looking for some tools

    I don't have experience with your year XJ, but I would start with the rental tools from your local parts store. My go-to is Advance Auto, but O'Reilys and Auto Zone rent them as well. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/o/loaner-tools I just rented a full ball joint kit, and it was $239 deposit...

    Went on my first Jeep jamboree

    I was on the "purple" group, which works out to about level 3 out of 10. Stock Jeeps were level 1, Rubicons were level 2, and Jeeps with 33 inch tires and a locker were level 3. Most of the groups are separated by tire size (level 4 is 35 inch tires). There were a ton of stock Jeeps...

    Went on my first Jeep jamboree

    For my 50th birthday I decided to go on my very first Jeep jamboree. The way it works is you pick a local event and signup - we picked Hollerwood off-road Park in Slade, Kentucky. My wife and kids went and we all had a great time. It was much more technical than I expected. I was actually...

    Engine died and blowing fuses

    I was thinking Camshaft position sensor until you mentioned all the blown fuses. The blown fuses do sound like some brakes in the wiring harness to me.

    Found this today while working on my Jeep

    I was working underneath my Jeep today when I looked up at the frame. Someone had written this in the dirt underneath my Jeep, where only I would see it. After questioning all the suspects it turns out it was my 11-year-old daughter. In case you can't read it, it says "take a shower". Happy...

    No start on the old 96er, with clues

    Does your XJ have an ODBII port? If so, you may try to pull some codes and see if it will tell you what's up. Mark makes a good point, it could also be the fuel filter / bad gas.

    the 03 rhd tj is still down

    Are you getting codes, or just hard shifts? I've been reading up on my 42rle, and have heard that it can sometimes be fixed by a shift solenoid like this: https://www.amazon.com/04800171AA-Refurbished-Transmission-Compatible-Chrysle-r/dp/B0B3TFKQMP or a valve body like this...

    What did you do to your Jeep today?

    I got tired of the ratty look of my inside tailgate. I bought a Bedrug liner and velcro-ed it on. I think it looks pretty sharp. Sent from my Pixel 6a using Tapatalk

    Windshield seal rubber a floppin'

    Is there something in the channel that prevents the rubber from going back into place? Maybe some leaves or other gunk? I'd try cleaning it out with a small screwdriver before I give up.

    TerryMason's 2005 Jeep TJ Build

    I decided to add a winch to my Jeep, and went with the Apex 12,000 lb winch from harbor freight. I mounted that on top of a rough country winch plate. I haven't tried it out yet, but the build quality seems good. I made sure to wire in the disconnect as well. The winch came with this...
