    Texas Escondido Draw Recreational Area

    I just came across a mention of Escondido Draw Recreational Area elsewhere and had not heard of it before. EDRA, located in Southwest Texas, is a sister park to Barnwell Mountain Recreational area and is owned by the Texas Motorized Trails Coalition (TMCT). It opened in 2019 and offers 3,400...

    Overcharging, no start, and weak idle

    I need some help with a diagnosis! For a few days this week, I got the “Check Gauges” dash light alerting me to high battery voltage while driving. About once every trip, the battery voltage would rise and fall, fluctuating from normal to high voltage, triggering the “Check Gauges”. This...

    Eyeing these soft shackle-friendly front recovery points sparked a few questions I would like to raise to the forum (and @sunnysideup_lj if he would be willing to share some input). https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/soft-shackle-recovery-points.81187/#post-1617773 I am bringing this up...

    Louisiana Next Venture Rear Bumper

    I am selling my Next Venture Motorsports Ultra High Clearance rear bumper. This has been a fantastic bumper, but I am swapping to one with a hitch receiver. It is primed and painted satin black, but could use a bit of touch up from trail scrapes. It also has a Moab decal that could easily be...

    Best trailer to tow behind my TJ?

    I have a little bit of experience with towing and trailers, but I’m hoping to get some guidance as I’m looking to purchase one to pull behind the TJ. Background: I am currently remodeling my entire house and have been borrowing a truck and trailer when needed, which can be inconvenient, extra...

    What brand hardtop is this and how much $ would you offer?

    Facebook marketplace find. Tempting, but I don’t want to get it without being able to find replacement rear glass.

    How do I un-FUBAR this driveshaft mod?

    Decided to convert my front TW driveshaft from boot type to greasable type. Everything was going dandy until the thread tap broke off in the driveshaft. Any ideas on the best way to fix this without having to drill a new hole in the shaft and keeping the threads I already cut? The size is 1/4-28

    Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area 8/19/23

    My dad and I hit Barnwell Mountain last weekend and had a blast. He was in his Tacoma with a small lift, 32's, rock rails, and high-clearance bumpers, so we stuck to the 2's and 3's for most of the day, which was about as much as his setup could handle. It was awfully hot, but we wheeled from...

    Solved - Rumble & Squeak

    The NV3550 in my TJ developed a terrible sound recently. It started as a slight squeaky chattering under acceleration at highway speeds about a week ago. It has progressed to a dry, low rumble with the same chattering squeaks. The sound only happens under load, accelerating or engine braking...

    Wobbly Passenger Seat Solution

    I'm on a mission to fix my tip and fold passenger seat. The original bushings are long gone, as well as the 3D-printed overpriced Etsy junk I tried in desperation. My plan is to find a metal spacer with the right ID and OD or get one made if it doesn't exist. I need the dimensions of the bolt...

    What would it take to make these 3-wire LED turn signals work properly?

    I want to run these aftermarket turn signals on my TJ. I have MCE fenders, and I do not want to do the grille relocation or use the go-to tiny 3/4" indicators. I've found some 12 volt, 3-wire LED turn signals meant for motorcycles that I think would make a clean install under the front lip of...

    Missouri Memorial Day Weekend at SMORR

    Is anyone planning to be at SMORR for Memorial day weekend? I'll taking a side trip from a Branson vacation to visit the ranch on the 28th and 29th. I don't want to show up and wheel alone, so I figured I'd reach out and see if I could find some like-minded TJ folks to wheel with. I'm in a...

    Metal-on-metal sound diagnosis

    Riddle me this. What could be making a metal-on-metal mild scraping sound for a brief moment while accelerating or engine braking through a small section of RPM between 2300 and 3000 RPM? Sometimes two different spots in that RPM range. It is not tied to a specific gear, just a specific RPM. I...

    Uneven Brake Pad Wear; Calling Brake Experts

    Take a look at this picture of my brake pads. One pad is worn more than the other, and both are worn unevenly from top to bottom. Can you diagnose what has caused this? P.S. yes, I am replacing them very soon. I would like the new ones to wear properly, though.

    Inside spare mount solutions

    I'm relocating my spare off the tailgate to the inside of the tub. Securing it face-down onto the tub floor is simple enough with a few straps, but I want to explore some options. I like the idea of standing the tire up directly behind the driver's seat. That would be out of the way, easily...

    Is it possible to replace the radiator petcock?

    I just got a new Mopar radiator, and the petcock is broken. I swear, it's always something. Anyways, is there an easy way to remove it and replace it? Does it have to be destroyed? It won't thread all the way out and I can't get to the other side to see what's happening on the inside.
