Hello, I'm new to the forums. I've got a 98' ZJ Laredo with 281k miles on it, nothing special, just the standard stock jeep. I was looking into upgrading the interior lights to LEDs because that is one of the few things I can do as a teenager (considering time and available funds). The one thing...

I just recently placed an order for a 2016 JKU Sport. I am looking into larger tires and a lift kit. I am wanting to get at least 35 inch tires (possibly 37s) and I am curious as to what size lift I would need. I had originally seen a JKU at the dealer with 35s and a 3.5inch lift that I thought...

Okay, I have combed through past threads regarding swapping out this system from my '91 XJ Limited. I have the general jist of what to do; Get a master cylinder and power brake booster out of preferably a '95-'96 XJ. Apparently it's a tight fit and may need new brake lines. My real...

Hi I'm trying to figure out if it is safe to tow a uhaul 8x4 trailer behind my xj for around 1,100 miles from Colorado Springs, CO to Post Falls, ID up and down some hills and over a small pass. What are some things I should do to my xj besides the obvious fluid changes and general maintenance...

I'm absolutely torn about what to do with my VIC false/positive msg issues (i.e., "Rear Lamp Failure", "Coolant Sensor Bad"...). Part of me wants to disassemble that darn dash, get to the VIC, and start soldering to fix the issue - just because... But the other part of me is dreading the idea...

I have a 2013 Sahara, and I am looking at getting the JCR Offroad Vanguard full width front bumper. It's gonna cost a decent amount after powder coating it and having to order the skid plate separately and get that powder coated as well. I've heard that for 2013 models, the vacuum pump has to...

I have a 2013 Jeep Sahara, and I have been looking at getting a new bumper that has a brush guard. The more research I've done, the more lost and frustrated I've gotten. I was looking at the Rampage Recovery bumper, 1st photo, but it seems like the quality isn't that great. Some say the textured...

First! 1. I know this topic was covered in 2009 I think. However, it did not clear up my question. Details I have a 01 XJ Limited with all the bells and toys -- The drivers side seat is shot. I bought 01 WJ Limited Leather seats (electric just like the XJ). Craigs list for 275 (was asking...

Picked Up a Wrangler YJ and now I'm addicted Hello All, I recently picked up a relatively stock 94 Wrangler S with 240K miles. It was mostly stock with the exception of a center console and 1" transmission drop (no lift though). I have been trolling the forum soaking in as much as I can. Seems...

I recently just purchased a Jeep it pretty much looks stock but I spent all of my money on it and am currently broke :( , What are some modifications I can do to my TJ without it costing me too much money?

I ordered my 2012 JKUR in May and finally picked it up just over a month ago. I decided on a Rubicon because I want it to be as capable as possible in stock form. Although I don't plan on doing any suspension changes for the next couple years this is still a Jeep and half the fun is making it...

Alright so, I've been planning on getting a TJ for quite some time, and now that I have the money for one, I'd like to create a budget page for the modifications needed to lift it 4"SL and 1"BL on 35"s. From what I have gathered in the forums so far, I need: SL ~ $2869 BL ~ $150-200 Dana44 (with...

Hey guys— anyone got any bright ideas about a hard tonneau cover for the CJ? I don't need one with the tonneau/duster combo, as I generally climb up on the wheel & jump into the Jeep. I was thinking about building one by starting with a standard pickup truck hard tonneau & modding from there...

So i recently installed my Rough Country 4 inch x-series lift. I'm running 35x12.50x15 inch tires which is clearly fine with every day driving but i don't have a ton of clearance in the back. Its obvious by looking at it that im not going to perform well on trails. My question is would a one...

Hey i just bought a jeep wrangler and would like to customize it to be able to offroad. what are some cheap mods that make a difference. I would like to know what i should start with and any good places to buy the mods

I've read a bunch on this topic and I don't mean to beat a dead horse but I recently put a hardtop (I believe its a factory issue) on my 93 YJ. I was told it came off a '93 YJ and had been on that jeep since the two were brand new. I had always used a soft top so I have all of the brackets and...

What are some suggestions for things you can use, that you already have, to make your ZJ better? Like say using the cargo racks from another jeep with the 2 you already have and making a "roof rack" that way :thumbsup: Any other little ideas like that you guys have had success with?

First let me apologize for the long and probably drawn out post. Just wanting to figure out how these modifications will affect the value of my restoration. So I am starting to do some and get some work done on my 1982 scrambler. I will be starting a build thread here soon. I was just...

Hey I'm here to ask your guy's advice! I rolled my lifted 1998 grand cherokee a few months ago doing donuts and after a lot of thought and deliberation I think I'm gonna stay with off-roading cars. The lure is just too strong! Anyway I have a budget of 10,000 and I'm in the San Francisco bay...
