    Amplified subwoofer

    Just seeing this thread and was hoping for an update too. I was trying to place Hans Zimmer and ... well, thats why I'm here. 5.25" Polk DB521's in the front and 6.5" DB652's in the pods above my head. I went with a JVC KD-SX27BT (although considering getting a different head unit because my...

    Adding Sound Bar to 2-Speaker TJ

    Hey thanks. Yeah, looking back I should have gotten the regular sound bar for the 99' but was told they were fairly interchangeable. I haven't had to do much audio wiring in about 20 years so I'm rusty with a ton of it. I ended up mounting 6.5" speakers in the pods with some changes. I have a...

    Adding Sound Bar to 2-Speaker TJ

    How did this end up going? I'm in a similar situation - 1999 TJ, I was able to get ahold of speaker pods (04') hoping the holes would fit but so far it does not look like they do, but I dont mind tapping the roll bar - I was curious what you ended up doing about the padding? I dont feel like I...

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    I know it doesn't need a lift but when you're 15 hip surgeries in with golfers elbow my desire to get on the ground like I did when I was in my early 20's (ahh youth) replacing axles has long left me... i'm also rusty since I haven't really worked on cars for about 15 years ... spent to much...

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    My outer tie rod boots are actually torn. I did have it looked at and the others are all fine... apparently. While I have zero plans to do any rock crawling or trails I will be taking it out on the farm so you never know what you might run over in that case and maybe its the Iowan in me but I...

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    Fair point. I do find the cost a bit insulting. I wondered if it was because they see a small woman but I hate jumping to conclusions. I've heavily considered asking a guy that I almost bought a jeep from (I had a family emergency and he was looking to sell fast so I missed out, but we had a...

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    I hear you, but I legit do not have a driveway or a garage access wise - I live in a condo complex and have a carport but its with a line of other cars and about 1 foot on each side (my carport neighbors never move their cars). But, with regards to my other question those are the parts needed right?

    ZJ Tie Rod Conversion

    Hi everyone, new to this forum. Recently bought a 99' TJ (4.0, manual, 200K odo, mostly stock but bigger tires, no lift). I'm not really looking to do anything crazy with it but I want it as solid as I can make it. Before purchasing it I had a mechanic near the seller check it out and gave her a...
