    2002 TJ sound system upgrade (factory head unit)

    I would power them with an amp. If you don't it may be disappointing when you take your top off. In my opinion if you have a factory soundbar just throw in some quality 6.5's that can handle an amp. I have x4 JL Audio 6.5" marines powered by a Kenwood digital amp and it rips! Can put out some...

    Zerk fittings on grease guns don't seem to fit anymore

    At the farm we go through 100's of grease tubes in a years time. With all the equipment we probably have over a thousand zerks to maintain so I'll share some advice with everyone, some has been mentioned above already. 1. Always make sure and clean the zerk with a rag before greasing...

    Price check on 2002 Sahara

    Looks nice, I feel like $13-15k might be an okay buy on it. Frame condition reminds me of mine, needs a little attention and stay off salty roads or there's gonna be trouble in the next 5-10 years.

    To lift or not to lift?

    If snow is of concern stay with a stock width tire, wide tires suck in snow. A lift is only going to be beneficial if you need/want to run taller tires. Also real aggressive tires (mud terrains) I have been less than impressed and seen all terrains out perform in snow on countless occasions. You...

    What is the official design speed for a TJ?

    Yep, mine is on 35's with the 32rh and 3.07's. Have taken the speedo to 90 mph (never reprogrammed speedo so actually going much faster) and really has no issues getting there rather quickly. Was still only at like 3700 Rpm's lol! Mine was still riding very well but have no desire to try it...

    Advice; do I fix or sell?

    Sell it for all the reasons above. A TJ in that condition needs an enthusiast to buy it or be parted out, pictures would help us. All that aside, for vehicles model year 2000 and newer, I'd have to think the TJ is most likely one of if not the most unsafe for several reasons. Let one tire fall...

    Pole Barn Ideas

    Whatever you do build it a little bigger. If you think you need 30x50 then build a 40x60. They fill up fast. If you build too small then your options become very limited and undesirable (lean to, second small shed, etc.) Just do it right the first time and thank me later. Nobody ever said that...

    School me on solar

    I helped my dad install solar in 2020 on his pole barn. We installed the panels on the roof and had my cousin do the rest. He has a side gig installing solar setups in the area. I think all in, we had $12k in the setup, 26 panels. We have one of the most expensive electrical providers in the...

    Coolant leak, no puddles

    I've had nothing but trouble with the heater core in mine. Took me quite awhile to even figure out it was leaking.

    Indiana TJ Dana 44 rear axle

    I have a Dana 44 rear axle I bought to put in my TJ about 5 years ago that I never got around to using. After having kids I just don't have time to offroad let alone take on another project. It has been sitting in my yard barn out of the weather since I purchased it. I was told it has 3.73...

    Tire life expectancy

    I've had a set of Cooper ST maxx go 65k on my 1/2 ton GMC. That was back in my young and dumb days when I would do burnouts so I'm sure they would have went longer than that. Currently have a set of 33" AT3's that were installed at 119k and truck has 168k on the odometer. They look like they'd...

    What is the current heater core recommendation?

    Hey guys haven't posted in awhile. Heater core is leaking AGAINo_O. I repaired my original 3 years ago and it took off leaking again yesterday, very aggrevating as this job sucks. Whats my best shot on buying a new one that will last? Definitely will not be repairing the original again.
